Get an Injunction (New Republic Calls on Obama to Stop Koran Burning Protest)
The New Republic ^ | Wednesday, September 8, 2010 | Martin Peretz

Posted on 09/08/2010 6:17:35 PM PDT by kristinn

The Dove World Training Center in Gainesville, Florida and its pastor Perry (sic) Jones plan a Koran bonfire on the ninth anniversary of the World Trade Center-Pentagon enormity.

SNIP

But it is disgusting. And it is disgusting no matter how many people believe the act would be and should be protected by the First Amendment.

In fact, it is uncivilized. I believe that the Obama administration should go to the Supreme Court or maybe tactically to the most sensible and civilized appellate court and seek an injunction against this atrocity that 1. will encourage Muslim madmen to respond in kind and 2. will also encourage primitive Christians to extend and expand the auto da fé.

The Leftwingtards are down to about 15% of the population. That’s not an insurmountable problem when you think about it.

... we can’t forget this quote from Obama’s book Audacity of Hope

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Anything that gets the New Republic’s knickers in a wad is fine with me!

I think the Pastor should expand the burning to books by 0bama and other prominent libs. Then you’ll see the left’s true colors.

This is really instructive of the satanic nature of Islam that so so many of it’s followers actually look at a book as holy. It is only a book and is supposed to testify to the truth within; if it were indeed a good book, which I do not see that it is. It is not the truth or God yet it is treated as such. These poor soul are really lost badly and I am afraid there will be a great last war with the good of the wqorld against the enemies of God. Too bad, my life is just taking off now! O well...

That you used to wash down bags of pork rinds. Don’t forget the pork rinds!

You really need to regain some composure here. This is an article about New Republic asking the government to intervene!!!!

Give it up before you go even more insane.

Just do it. We know you can.

This is getting more entertaining by the hour. Is there anyway we can get them to push back the date of the burn to prolong the enjoyment?

WOW, you want to report the man to the authority for being critical of Palin. Is there a certain limit on how much a person can be critical of another person? And you get upset when you are called a CULTIST?

What’s the old saying? ‘Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you’

It is really getting very dangerous with some of the Palin people because they have lost all common sense and decency.

I’m not worried about the danger, except to themselves. Hope their cells are padded. LOL

Burn flag = Protected Speech.

Burn Koran= Hate Speech.

Brought to you by the ACLU and the DNC

“Piss Christ” by Andres Serrano shows a crucifix submerged in the artist’s urine = Protected Speech
