The media attention toward the Koran-Burning "Pastor"

Ikari said:

I say decrease. He's just a dumbass douche bag, and since when is that news worthy? He ain't breaking the law or anything, he's free to do what he wants. But what he wants is stupid and the rest of us don't have to pay him any mind.

Exactly that.

Operation Mockingbird, eh?
The US media is a propaganda and social conditioning tool of the elite (political, status, etc). In this case it’s using fear mongering to further separate us and keep us sidetracked.

This potential book burning and flag burnings are borderline hate crimes; it may be better to have these things banned in out nation.
Our media is not acting in a responsible fashion - what else is new ?
And "Holy" Books ?
I do not buy this, they are a figment of man's imagination - a book is a book, this should be respected, thats all.

Decrease. This guy's obviously looking for publicity and cameras, and if we ignore him, then he will probably stop posing for cameras, pack up, go home, and won't burn the Koran.

Some one already beat this "preacher" to it

As big of a jerk as this hate-mongering bigot is, he, just like each of us, retains the right to be a hate-mongering, bigoted jerk and say so out loud and even burn whatever symbolic thing he decides on. Making sure that WE, as citizens of this Nation, keep OUR right to speak or protest those things we find detestable, far exceeds the need to silence assholes like this one. That is one of the costs of freedom. You may well be willing to give up your rights, but there are many of us that have put our ass on the line to make sure you don't have to.

Hmmmm How long have we gone past the five minute mark, now?

Yes... that's why EVERY YEAR when somebody says 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas' it's not reported for 3 days.

I say "Merry Christmas", and I do not care who I say this to!
Could it be that we over-react, including our President and that we live in fear?
We are a Christian nation, I think, but I think we have many , too many who live in a christian country - and have no idea what this means.

All cutting edge performing arts have been covered eagerly by the press. They should continue to cover the story. It's their job.

Now doing this next week or so wouldn't be so newsworthy, the one who breaks the ice gets into the history books.

I find it all very, very amusing to watch leftists come out and denounce this guy, while they sat there, lapped up and applauded the desecration of Christian symbols, and the American flag.

George Carlin would have a field day with this... too bad he's gone.
