Let's see, the President, the Pope, US Attorney General Eric Holder, General David Petraeus and even Angelina Jolie, for pity's sake, have all come out publicly against these religious nutcases in Florida (I won't name them--I don't want to give them more publicity) having a "Qu'ran burning" down there on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks in this country. Now, we have none other than right-wing looney and Former Alaska Governor Sarah "The Quitter" Palin and Fox "News" emotional mouthpiece Glenn Beck saying the same thing--that burning this Muslim holy book of theirs, in protest, is a patently bad idea. If you have Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck telling you it's goofy, you KNOW it's crazy and wrong. Here's hoping cooler--and more intelligent--heads prevail.

I wish cooler heads had prevailed when this douchebag disgraced preacher was looking for publicity. It counts as freedom of speech, but if it weren't for the wall to wall coverage I would not have to listen to him.
So true.
Did you see the announcement late this afternoon, saying he decided to call if off, finally, and that he's going to New York to discuss the New York site for their community center? Like he has any business in that.
