The Tampa Tribune / The Associated Press ^ | September 9, 2010 | Ray Reyes and The Associated Press

GAINESVILLE - FBI agents visited today with a minister of a small Florida church that plans to burn the Quran on Sept. 11, as public safety became a paramount concern and President Barack Obama added his voice to the chorus of opposition. Elsewhere, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned burning of Islam's holiest text. Obama urged the Rev. Terry Jones to "listen to those better angels" and call off his plan.(continued)

"The hypocrisy is mind-boggling. It also makes that “Let Freedom Ring” theme song on Hannity’s show sound pretty hollow as he uses his program as a one-sided begathon for tolerance."

LOL...today Hannity is decrying appeasement with regards to the Ground Zero Mosque.

Well done, its about time the FBI got off their butts and did some crime fighting.
Now let me see if I understand. It is perfectly legal to burn a Koran, if it's your Koran. I go to Borders and lay out $10.00 for a paperback edition of God speaking to Man, kill the unbelievers and you will inherit the world(ie. our stuff).
I take my purchase home and announce I am going to burn this baby in my Weber grill. The FBI arrives to talk to me.
Wow, talk about a Dhimmi county.

Religious profiling and government intimidation.

It’s too bad this church doesn’t have some money. If they were well-funded like leftist groups and the muzzies are, they’d have been able to get an injunction against the cops by about 10am this morning.

I haven’t watched Hannity the last few days. Are you telling me that he’s openly siding with zero, etc., against this church burning the koran?

“The FBI spent about a half hour talking with Jones, but church spokesman Wayne Sapp would not disclose what they discussed. Agents leaving the church wouldn’t talk to an Associated Press reporter.

Jones said earlier this week that agents have visited him twice since he announced his plans in July, the last visit about two weeks ago.”

Hmmmmmmm.......
Does anyone know who was the first news organization or blog to give this story legs on a national scale? Does anyone else find it odd that this nobody preacher with 30 followers was suddenly thrust into the national spotlight right before the 911 anniversary and the November election?

Did the WH tip off the media to this story? Apparently the FBI knew about this book burning way back in July!! Something smells to high heaven with this whole thing.

Reality sucks. Sad to have to live through watching the downfall of the United States and 0bama and those traitorous btards that make up the criminal organization known as the Demonrat party will have their place in history as the culprits and are deserving of quite a reception when they take their last breaths from all those who sacrificed for this country.

nail on head.
they say a mosque being built near where 3000 died.
Cross in piss.
Crap on a painting of the virgin Mary.
Burning flags.
Burning Bibles
are all 1st amendment rights.
Killing non muslims and we’re told to understand them and that they are small group.
but burning a koran is wrong and should not be happening.

I hope this pastor says I had no intention to burning it but wanted to make a point and show the hypocrisy of the white house, the far left and islam.

They muslims acted violently and then they say they’re a religion of peace.

As for Hannity I’ve had it with him, the man is a coward who cannot talk about social issues like the homosexual agenda, abortion etc, tells a soldier yesterday on the radio that we should not provoke them and that this will endanger our troops.

if Hannity had served and been in a war like the soldier he was talking to then he would know that we’re in a war and we’re already in danger.

The flag? I think not. He should make a show of wrapping the koran in bacon strips before he sets fire to it.

“Fox News is about 20% Saudi-owned, IIRC.”

I wish I had the post to reference, but no Fox isn’t owned by anymore than about 6% IIRC. I believe it slightly less than 6% actually, but no more than.
