Poll in the NY Daily News showing that the majority of people feel that this guy was wrong in burning the Koran.

Link to actual article with Poll here: Koran burner Derek Fenton booted from his job at NJ Transit

Personally, I don't think we should go around burning someone else's holy book, no matter how wrong they are, BUT, that being said, it's his right to do so and at this point, with all the Christian bashing going on around the Globe, I say...good for him.

Oh, and in the HTML Source of the article, they call him a radical....He's a radical?!? In New York City??

[cripplecreek]

I agree. I thought the koran burning was pointless and foolish but if these idiots intend to play 1st amendment games, I’ll start burning them myself.

Compare this to the DC metro employee who was caught stealing from the fare machines and kept his job. So much for justice.

[himno hero]

I hope the poll is skewed.

[Tzimisce]

53% said “yes”???????

[I_Publius]

Yep....that’s why I thought I would post it out here....maybe a few more of us who think he shouldn’t be fired should vote...just for grins...

[I see my hands]

The right can hang it's head in shame for not rallying to support this guy in the street, answering back to the leftist slurs and lies being flung at him. What a pitiful display of cowardice.

[I_Publius]

Agreed!

But then again...look at the GOP and how they are treating that candidate up in Deleware. The leaders at the top are all the same..

Thanks I_Publius.

Linkie no workie. Dammit. I want to vote in this poll. If lefties can burn American flags and call it free speech, Mr. Fenton can vent his frustrations also.

[jivin gene]

At the risk of being placed on some left-wing nut-job hit-list, I totally agree with you, GVnana. Free speech is for everyone, not just the looney left.

[Soothesayer]

This is why I believe the leftist vermin are going to win in the end. 99% of people are vermin or cowards.

It’s getting to the point where the small minority of us who care about justice are going to have to take ‘extreme’ measures...
