Lindsey Graham want to make burning Koran illegal
American Conservative Values ^ | 3 April 2011 | Cato Uticensis

In response to quack preacher Terry Jones burning the Koran, Senator Lindsey Graham wants to put limits on free speech. Perhaps the RINO Senator from South Carolina knows this, but his ambition is unconstitutional and as a lawyer Lindsey Graham should know this.

Lindsey Graham want to make the burning of the Koran illegal

Politico reports:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a military lawyer, is the first member of Congress to say the legislature needs to explore the possibility, however unlikely, of limiting some kinds of free speech – like Terry Jones’ Quran burning – that help America’s enemies.

“I wish we could find a way to hold people accountable. Free speech is a great idea, but we’re in a war,” he told CBS’s Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.”

“During World War II, we had limits on what you could do if it inspired the enemy,” Graham said, adding that he wanted to do “anything we can to push back here in America against acts like this that put our troops at risk.”

1. The Koran burning pastor is a moron.

We are having this discussion, and Grahamnesty and others are being exposed as the hacks they are, because of Terry Jones' actions.

How dumb is that?

I have had no respect for Lindsey for over 10 years. So I am not surprised.

We also put 100,000 Japanese and American citizens of Japanese decent into camps without any evidence of their disloyalty. Does the WW II analogy mean that we can put CAIR behind a double layer of barbed wire fence with machine guns in guard towers to keep them from escaping or communicating with the outside world?

Yeh, and it’s ok when they MURDER thousands of Christians, as in (oh, someplace in Africa) — but they will not be challenged. But we have to tiptoe around?

Good idea, Senator Dhimmi.

If they give the Koran higher status than the American Flag and the Holy Bible, I see mass Koran burnings in this country. He had better just shut up.

Why oh why is Pansy Gramnesty still in a position to do harm to the country?

I dispose of lots of waste materials by burning, the mohammedan joke book is little more than crappy tinder.

I made a rather nice artwork of “Muhammad Beer” for Everyone Draw Mohammed Day. I’ll try to figure out how to inbed it in a reply.

“Allah is great, beer is good”, and Mo’s name in arabic is on a pair of beer mugs.

Let’s see If I got this straight...

Sen. Lindsey Graham wants our RIGHTS here to be held hostage by 7th century trogdolites on the far side of the world with the emotional developement of four year old children.

Correct? In your dreams Graham!

I wouldn’t even know where to go get a koran, but if they do make it illegal it’ll be on my shopping list. Along with some lighter fluid.

hmmm...maybe some chicken thighs too, love the BBQ’d chicken thighs!

****Idiots burn books,***

If it is his PERSONAL PROPERTY he can do with it what he wants.
Burn it.
Use it for toilet paper,
Wipe dog s#!T off his shoes with it.
Wrap fish in it.
Wipe spilled paint or pig lard with it.
Absorb bacon grease with it.
Blow his nose on it.
Dry his hands with it.
Line a bird cage with it.
Do with it what you would do with the NY Times.

***I don’t recall them burning a Bible, but they’ve burned quite a few Christian churches.***

Saudi Arabia has shredders at it’s ports of entry just to shred bibles and other “offensive” material.

****ditto!!!!!!Apostle Paul never blaspheme other gods.***

And yet, converts to Christianity burned their occult books to the tune of 50,000 pieces of silver, and St Paul did hack off the souvineer salesmen selling trinkets at the shrine of DIANA of the EPHESIANS.

At the same time there was an increase in US train wrecks passed off as “natural causes” so as not to spook the public about saboteurs.
