Alrighty then, let's do this instead.

GAINESVILLE - FBI agents visited today with a minister of a small Florida church that plans to burn the Quran on Sept. 11, as public safety became a paramount concern and President Barack Obama added his voice to the chorus of opposition. Elsewhere, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned burning of Islam's holiest text. Obama urged the Rev. Terry Jones to "listen to those better angels" and call off his plan.(continued)

LOL..the whole thing is exposing yet again the hypocrisy and insanity of the media, liberals and Obama though!!
It’s the same people who still think Obama is doing a great job.
They must be Teamsters.
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, the scroll said “Florida PRIEST will burn Quran”......They are the most VILE, EVIL LIARS!
This is way too strange. I don’t like things that get blown out of proportion and don’t make sense. It’s got an archduke ferdinand feel to it.
BUilding the Mosqu is nothing more than a JJ style shakedown...Money offered was not high enough....
“After 9/11 and every terrorist attack since we are told that Islam is a religion of peace, a small percentage are radicals and we shouldn’t judge a billion people by the actions of a few. Yet every free world leader and even folks like Hannity are crapping themselves over fears of Muslim reaction to a parish of less than 50 members, begging them not to do it. Where is the reciprocity? Why the chants of “Death To America” over the actions of a small group of people? How is it that entire nations go crazy over the actions of a few?”
They are “going crazy” precisely because what Pastor Jones intends to do is potentially one of the most powerful “acts of resistance” that The West has yet to show in response to Islam’s jihad.
By the simple act of throwing some books into a flame, a symbol of Western will and Resistance is created before all the Muslims of the world. They will not forget what they have seen.
It embodies the defiance, and revulsion of The West towards what Islam believes, represents, and practices (note that I specifically use “Islam” in the general sense as distinguished from using “Islamists”).
On September 11, 2001, we all saw the videos of the World Trade Center exploding in flames at the moment of impact - those very images are re-posted right here on FR from time to time. There is no need to query most Freepers about how they feel and what they think about seeing them.
Shortly thereafter, George W. Bush went before the cameras and declared that Islam is “a religion of peace”.
And now, Pastor Jones throws the Quran into the fire.
Of these two specific acts, which one demonstrates an appropriate reaction by The West in the face of what Islam revealed to us on September 11, 2001?
Which one conveys the impression that we of The West intend to win?
Like this guy Jones or not, he understands what this struggle is about. I, for one, hope he doesn’t back down.
I sense that the “Quran burning controversy” has the potential to ignite a heretofore “below the surface” level of support amongst ordinary Americans, the same way that the “Arizona immigration law controversy” has.
It may indeed become one of the major symbols of the worldwide struggle in which we are now engaged.
Must’ve been the mods, a regular FReeper can’t change a headline after a thread is posted.
I also used to share a similar interest, but either way you cut it, it's still the lamestream media in all its epicene glory. Now all I like is the hard stuff. Nothing less malleable than Micheal Savage will do for me anymore. Of course, I still listen to Rush on full blast in traffic and drop in on the Hugh Hewitt show now and then.
I thought it was Charles “The Hammer” Martel that did that.
Oh yeah and GO GATORS!!
“Wanna talk about control??? I just read on Drudge that AP will not COVER any audio or video if he does burn the Korans!!!! Talk about a lopsided media”
The same media that wanted to publish every damn picture of so called torture and abuse at Abu Graib and Gitmo during Bush’s presidency though. CUE GIANT EYE ROLL!! Can our media get anymore blatantly biased and cowed?
Is this real? I thought Schnitt was full of sh*t.
22% is a pretty large millstone to hang around the neck of the nation...at least when coupled with the much larger percentage who simply don't pay attention or care.
You know, 9/11 sounds like a great day for a rib roast. Pork ribs. Brats maybe. I’ll need paper.
I love the smell of pig roasts in the evening.
It’s breathtaking, isn’t it?
PS- FOX running pieces of old Glenn Beck tapes- nothing live. Having to get this from Chrissy and CNN is not adding to my viewing pleasure.
Now Donald Trump is in the mix?
The worst thing I’ve heard all day is ME- agreeing with David Gergen. That simply never happens!! He said the president should never have gotten involved and given this jackass (my characterization- nt Gergen’s) so much attention- and that the press needs to look at its own involvement.
Post of the day.
I suspect that this story is far from over.
Amazing how an anonymous pastor has the guts to demand that they agree to terms of his own before he backs down. Too bad our stupid politicians don’t.
..or brainless morons who believe they can actually negotiate with a muslim. Any muslim.
For the mentally and historically challenged... it's not just a religion...
