I just spent a couple of hours (am away from work today) reading ALL the comments -- and there are probably several hundred -- on the American Spectator site.

I expected opinion among its readers to be about evenly split between those disputing, and those agreeing with Kline, who echoes the sentiments of people I respect such as Mark Levin, Palin, Petraeus, etc., etc. (not to mention people for whom I have contempt, such as Obama and Hillary).

To my great surprise, it's about 9 to one against Kline. Someone asks one of Kline's defenders if it the Boston Tea Party was "civil."

About three quarters of the way down, it finally dawned on me that burning Korans is quite civil, as was the Boston Tea Party. Now, if we were talking about burning Muslims or if the Boston Tea Party had been about throwing English tax collectors into the harbor to drown, that would have been uncivil.

Wow. It’ a shame that Obama has coopted so many conservatives without the knowing it.
