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.
