[WAR] so let's talk about this mosque in New York - Page 5

I think you all missed my point. I am not against or for this center. I support the right for someone to build it for the reasons it is built. I am just saying that the man behind it should of thought a bit more about the possible public response to the building.

Taking words out of context is half the reason we end up with arguments like the one over this building project in this country.

For New York City, 9/11 is still a fresh wound as many of them can remember days of seeing the WTC Towers and now they can't and that is a stark reminder to them of not just the loss, but of who was behind it. For many there, I can imagine this is like putting salt in that wound.

Fear is part of that wound and they need to get it out and deal with it on their own terms. Judging them for their response as Un-American is very Un-American. They have the right to their feelings. The only ones who I am concerned about are the Fearmongers using this to fuel the propoganda that keeps the hate on both sides going.

Fox News is either evil or stupid

TL;DR: One of the people they're talking about being the evil guy funding all this who is un-American blah blah blah is their parent company's largest shareholder or some such.

I thought Colbert's take was pretty apt.

Well gosh, I'm sooooooooooo sorry that your gentle sensibilities are offended by our having people who actually want us to live up to the standards preached by our commercialized nationalism.

And I'm even more sorry to be one of them.

Fox has always been both Stupid and Evil.

BitVyper · 08-24-2010, 10:42 PM

But is it stupidly evil or evilly stupid?

Wigmund · 08-24-2010, 10:47 PM

Depends on when you watch the channel. Fox & Friends and the general news they have on in the morning is evilly stupid while Glenn Beck and the other commentators who are on later in the day are stupidly evil.

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism all have a bit in common. Not (nearly) the same system by any means, really, but yeah. I'm not sure what word I'm looking for.
