Reid: Probe of Quran Burning Considered
Newsmax ^ | 4/3/2011 | Hiram Reisner

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says congressional lawmakers are discussing taking some action in response to the Koran burnings of a Tennessee pastor that led to killings at the U.N. facility in Afghanistan and sparked protests across the Middle East, Politico reports.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Congress might need to explore the need to limit some forms of freedom of speech, in light of Tennessee pastor Terry Jones’ Quran burning, and how such actions result in enabling U.S. enemies.

So the Westboro jerks get a pass on picketing and insulting our dead soldiers, but suddenly Lindsey has his panties in a bunch over the sensibilities of these animals. Pathetic.

Just think if someone were to burn the Book of Mormon. What would Harry say then.

By the way, the muzzies HAVE burned Bibles. And nobody did a thing.

So let’s put out the “koran burning” kit on Ebay, and get things started.
Or better yet, recall the actions of one Col Alexander Rodgers of the 6th Cavalry during the Moro rebellion in the Phillipines- ref: “Jungle Patrol,The Story of the Phillipine Constabulary”

The Pork Bomb.

If sandmaggots have the right to burn the American flag just about anywhere, except perhaps where it might threaten endagered species, I must also have that same right.

If these mental retards decide to have hearings in part based on muslims worldwide being upset, I invite others to join me that day at the national capitol steps with a copy of the quran and a book of matches.
No accelerants, please; they violate EPA and EQA rules.

If these weasels get their way, I propose a million man (and ladies) march on D.C.

Bring a koran and a bic lighter.

We have a president who has not documented any of his past, taking us to war after first speaking to the Arab League, NATO, and UN, but NEVER speaking to the Congress of the USA, and NOW we have Congressional leaders considering elevating Islam to a specially protected status in the US. What is wrong with this picture?

Terry Jones may be a boor, a fool, and totally ignorant (I am not saying he is), but what he did is protected by the Constitution of the United States as free speech.

Yes, it is protected by our constitution. Not that Obozo has ever picked up a copy of that document. I would love to see a date set for every man, woman and child to stand outside their home and BBQ a Koran. They can’t arrest all of us.
Not yet anyway.

"I wish we could find a way to hold people accountable. Free speech is a great idea, but we're in a war," Graham told CBS' Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation” Sunday. “During World War II, we had limits on what you could do if it inspired the enemy," Graham said, adding certain speech can “put our troops at risk.”

You mean like these, you cowardly ignorant POS??!!

He needs to be Tea Partied in his next primary election.

His push for Amnesty during the Bush administration was reason enough, but now he wants to tell clerics what free speech they can and cannot practice.

Tennessee? They don’t even know where the Koran burning happened.
