Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how many, if not most of the protest signs at the
"anti-mosque" demonstrations are professionally printed with duplicates within the same crowd?

Kind of reminds one of all those "spontaneous" "grassroots" Tea Party gatherings.

Are they at least getting paid for this or are they genuinely that clueless?

Since no muslims died that day
:sarcasm:

I guess they were not Americans either.

Sorry, I don't buy that one. Now tell your sisters to google Kristalnacht and it's history... and buy a clue. We as a nation are going down that road.

<----------- Dad is a holocaust survivor, so I am a tad sensitive to any anti any group religious feelings. It leads to a really dark road.

17. The "Muslim community" consists of American citizens
I ask your sisters to give some consideration to them, and not require these Americans to assume the blame for the terrorists.

It's a bullshit argument.

And when did they tell you about it?

Do they like the really good stuff?

33. I have this figured out: he married one of his sisters, so his other sister is also
his sister-in-law.

Is that what they mean by "rollin' your own"?

21. Your sisters' actions cause pain to a lot of us. We are THEIR "fellow Americans".
Will they show "SOME CONSIDERATION FOR THE FEELINGS OF THEIR FELLOW AMERICANS" AND STFU?

I didn't think so. Neither should the "Muslim community".

31. I want to know what kind of porn his (wife's?) sisters are most okay with

I hope we find out before he makes his departure from DU

Do they like straight porn? Fetishes?

We need to know.

37. this 'fellow american' thinks it's an EXCELLENT idea to have the community center there
and I am not alone.

i also think it is simple bigotry and/or ignorance to single out a whole religion for the acts of a tiny minority, and will not yield on that point.


SOME CONSIDERATION FOR THE FEELINGS OF THEIR FELLOW AMERICANS.......

29. Given your weak logic ... no guns should be sold near sites where ...
people have been murdered with guns. Right????

I mean, its not that people don't have the "right" to own and sell guns ... its just that "those people" should be "more sensitive" to the local people who have lost loved ones to gun violence .... right??? That is your logic.

Do you think anyone on the right will agree with this logic?? F**K No!!!

So look ... either the Constitution protects rights, or it does not.

Given the Catholic church's recent issues with abusing kids, Catholic churches should not be near schools. The church should understand that while it has the right to have churches near schools, it is "insensitive" for them to be there. SO they should move ... right?

Sad.

12. As much as I don't want to say the words "in their defense"...
but in their defense, I went to every pre- and post-invasion anti-Iraq-war protest here in San Francisco, and while most of the signs were originals, there were always many identical signs provided my groups like MoveOn and ANSWER. So it wouldn't surprise me if some group or other is providing signs for these protests.

13. This is not a grassrotos movment..it is called an "astroturf" movement.

It was organized and financed by RWingnuts with a few innocent, and to so innocent dupes being drawn in.

16. You can tell when they're professionally printed duplicates.
Someone with half a brain actually took time to check the spelling.

Because a piece of performance art like this loses a lot of context once "name removed" takes over.
