Is is hypocritical for Palin/Beck to hold a rally at Lincoln Park on Aug 28th?

The word of Palin's father means as little to you as the ravings of lunatics who believe (without any cause) that the President of the United States was born in Kenya?

 

You and I both know that I was talking about your hero Palin.

 

Ahhhhhh, I get it. It's not what a person says or does. It's what you -- the judge, jury and hangman -- claim he or she is, regardless of what he or she says or does. Righhhhhhhhhhhht! Got it. Since Beck is inviting everybody, that means he is inviting only the tea parties.

 

I'm just exposing your game. I can't help it that you don't approve, but promoting hatred is passe. Of course, I understand that you feel that promoting hate and fear is the best way to generate funds for your belief systems.

 

When a politician says they want your finances investigated it means they want the IRS to audit you.

 

Glenn Beck and Paris Palin are douchelords. They have to go to every extreme for publicity or to make a (non) point.

If they are the Republican ticket in 2012, I'll be very happy. That duo couldn't win more than the Fox News base.


Most of us are more intelligent than that.

 

Um, so are black people really offended by this...?

I could understand if it was the KKK or something.

 

I agree and I am willing to give Beck the benefit of the doubt. I will point out though that what you are criticizing Sweet Lou for is precisely the same thing you are doing to Obama.

 

I see what you mean. That said the article you cited did say she wanted both the group funding the center and the opponents investigated. I don't support either but that hardly supports your claim that this is a tyrranical witch hunt targeting the opponents of the Islamic Center.

 

I just noticed this. So you acknowledge that the terrorists were misunderstanding Islam and you acknowledge that those building the Islamic Center have nothing to do with 9/11 yet you still argue against it?

I'm willing to accept that many of those who oppose the Islamic Center are not bigoted but if this is the justification for opposing it that is one based on ignorance and in this particular case willful ignorance since you yourself acknowledge that the terrorists didn't understand Islam.

 

the comparison is not even close, just stupid

 

No religious structure should be built in the area (and by area I mean anything destroyed from the attack) like Gettysburg or Auschwitz. I have no idea if the attackers understood Islam (I know little of the religion). What am I "willfully ignorant" of?

 

As a moderate conservative I respect all people's rights to practice their religions in peace and where they would like. As a Southern Baptist, I expect the same courtesy and right in return, now through the end of time.

As I have said in other posts, I believe the Muslims have the right to build a mosque or community center where they wish. I also believe that building one or the other so close to ground zero is incredibly insensitive and poor public relations. John Stewart pointed out that the insensitivity of the NRA in supporting a gun show near the Columbine massacre site some years ago. I agree with him that, while they had the right to do it, proceding with it was not only insensitive but carried with it highly negative public relations implications as a result.

You keep accusing the tea parties and other people you don't like of dastardly positions, but you are shocked and appalled when someone points out that you are doing exactly the same thing. It like the pot accusing the kettle of not being shiny.

 

Is it hypocritical for you to support the building of the mosque as being part of liberty but seek to silence these two people?

That is the better question.
