If that was his purpose, he has accomplished it without firing a single match.
You know what would be really great. If he held the ceremony and instead of firing up a Koran, he fired up an old pew Bible.
I’m amazed at the lockstep of the talking heads from all TV stations on this. It doesn’t matter which TV host it is, or which network, they use the word “kook” or “loon” or something similar when describing this pastor. To a person it’s all about Jones getting his 15 moments of fame.
The lockstep couldn’t be more obvious if it was a goosestep.
It is POWERFUL when they unite. It makes you wonder how in the world you can be so crazy as to have a different take. They truly do have the power to manipulate minds.
For what is this guy really doing? The bottom line is that he’s burning paper and ink. That’s it. He should say that: it’s just paper and ink.
Because of freedom of religion, Obama says the mosque should be built. (Not making any comments on the wisdom of it, he said.) Yet, many comments on the wisdom of burning the koran, and along with that no clear statement that it was a matter of free speech.
And O’Reilly and his ladies think that Justice O’Conner was right when she limited free speech by saying that speech in the form of burning a cross can be controlled if it is designed to injure someone. They want Jones prosecuted.
I say: get a shredder. Then he doesn’t violate any “open fire” laws.
Then put the shredded remains in a charcoal grill. I doubt the town has a law against using a grill.
Use charcoal lighter fluid. It’ll burn a lot faster that way in any case.
