Park51 Opponents Now Just Dragging Missiles Around Manhattan, Because They Understand Tact

[one_voice]

Courtesy of Jim Newell and Mark Borden comes some photographic documentation of how the dialogue over the proposed Park51 cultural center is proceeding.

Not well, as it turns out! Park51 opponents have apparently taken to driving a decommissioned missile, adorned with anti-"Ground Zero Mosque" advertising, around the site of the proposed center. As we've learned, using military ordnance to stage daffy PR campaigns in Manhattan is always a terrific idea.

Aside from generally wondering what might have been if missiles had been injected into Washington, DC's "Jumbo Slice Wars," the thought occurs to me that this is the precisely the sort of tactic that's okay for some people to do and not others. For instance, I imagine that if I schlepped up to the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage, Alaska with one of these missiles and pointed it at the September 11 Glenn Beck And Sarah Palin Cuddle Party, with advertising that read "Check Out This Month's Issue Of Vanity Fair," I would expect to be universally condemned by the entire world. I suppose I could very easily put this theory to a test. What stops me is the fact that I am an adult.

That would make a bad ass lawn ornament.
