Well, that proves my point! If Im ignorant, Id like to think NOT on purpose, then this Imam or others in the Muslim community should be TEEACHING ME....TELLING ME what this is all about. If I have an idea on something, one thats not correct, its up to the scholars to tell me whats up. Not the other way around.

I guess I dont understand why Rauf cant just address the issues that most people like myself seem to have with this thing. Do you or do you not feel that the US was complicit in 9/11? Do you or do you not seek to advance Sharia law in the US? Do you feel it has a place in the US? How would you address the concern that that some have that this building would be a symbol not of outreach, but of conquest or "victory?" The first two questions come out of comments Rauf, himself made. The third is historically based. He would quell A LOT of concerns over this proposal if he just manned up and spoke to people. Maybe, just maybe if he clarifed his postion and his motives, he would garner some support and covert many of the opposed. But I guess its easier to keep quiet and just call people bigots, or stupid, or Islamophobic, etc. And not for nothing...lets see a Christian group try to build a Church in "Londonistan" or some of the neighborhoods in the midwest that have a large Muslim population. Would we see the "tolerance" we are all expected to show right now? I doubt it.

Please illustrate......Ga' head.

I find it more hilarious that the "offended" have the need to whine about it constantly.

Im willing to bet lotsa cashola that if "The Rush Limbaugh Center for Advanced Conservative Studies" was in the works to be built in the middle of Berkeley, CA, Seatttle, Austin or smack dab in the middle of some other liberal hotbed, we wouldnt be hearing too much about "tolerance."

With all due respect, as an Italian American, I dont wanna !@#$ing hear your whining. More or less on a daily I gotta see the latest "dumb Italian du jour" trotted out on TV like some circus seal for our entertainment. If it aint The Sopranos, Im subjected to "Snookie"...or some cafone !@#$ from Jersey who they call a "real housewife." And eeeeverybody laughs along. And when all those shows go off, I gotta see some commerical on TV with the latest "dumb ginzo Brooklyn Italian heeeyyy.....yoooo!" stereotype. So HTFU and deal. Youre far from alone.

Says the guy who has one himself. God, you really are unbeleivable.

Im thinking conner's idiocy has reached critical mass.

He gets on someone for listening to Limbaugh to make their point....then uses Jon Stewart to make his. Only conner.

Ladies and gemmen...the right-wing conner.

He and Lori are at some dark bar, downing glasses of Maker's Mark.

No....thats "ey"

See, I think "anonymity"s got ZERO to do with it. PLENTY of people here who arent very anonymous and are still douchebags.

Eh?

I loved Trading Places. If you didnt, thats your problem.

I heard you play the Bonerphone.

t-bars? never tried those...are they like aero bars? I think tri-geeks are ghey. Ever notice how all the tri-geeks who are on that "Team in Training" are all short legged, fat women. Ew.

Im managing to get your panties in a bunch.....thats important.

Lighten up, Francis.

Ah, I see....someone stopping a car to talk to their friends bothers you.....becuase you have no friends. I got it now. You should have told us you have no friends. Im sorry.

I dont have a radio on my bike and I sure as **** dont eat fastfood on it. Ive been known to sing loudly and spid a mouthful of sports drink on the sidewalk from time to time, though. I do occasionally ride slow past the neighbors, when riding. My shaved legs, green lycra and the smell of used chamois creme gets them all kinds of uncomfortable. On the ride this past weekend, a guy in our group got clipped by some nimrod wo was putting on makeup. So we're even.

Yeah, I was also trying to figure out how hes managing to equate the 1st Lady taking a junket to Spain with someone stopping to chat with his neighbor for a few minutes. I figured Id just !@#$ with him a bit, along the way,

Youre a pretty fart smeller. How do you go from your blog on the economy, well thought out and written, to "even strippers in NYC may have a claim against BP"??????

Where do you live?

You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. Yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non- biodegradable Styrofoam containers! And when I'm done suckin' down those grease ball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth on the American flag and then toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side.... ....and there ain't a God-damned thing you can do about it.
