Texan wants to have pig races on his property to offend Muslims
opening a new mosque near his land.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16095716/

The last paragraph is hilarious - a nice little irony to say the least LOLOLOLOLOL:

Though he now concedes the Muslims are probably not after his land, Baker said he is obligated to go through with the pig races, probably within the next few weeks, because “I would be like a total idiot if I didn’t. I’d be the laughingstock now because I’ve gone too far.”

1. As far as being the laughingstock is concerned, that ship sailed long ago.

2. The ignorance and intolerance of this freeper
astouding. Really, I'm stunned. What's with the counter that tracks terrorist acts since 9-11? Do only Muslims committ terrorist acts? I'd be laughing at this guy if this weren't so sad!

9. How 'bout this nut?
Cynthia Blackman wrote Radack that the center was a security risk: “Would you and your family safely and comfortably live next to this 11-acre Muslim mosque and facilities?”

Um, yeah, Ms. Blackman - I believe I'd MUCH rather live next to an 11-acre school, senior activity center and Mosque than say, oh, next to you. I'd be more worried your intolerance and bigotry would rub off on my kids more than I'd be worried about terrorism.

:eyes:

12. He probably doesn't know that would be far more offensive!
If he did know, he would probably do it.

13. This is what is considered
Right wing satire. Should see a bunch of this kind of stuff on whatever new show the Cons are considering to combat the likes of Colbert and Mahr

I can almost see the confused looks on their faces when no one finds it funny.

:freak: :popcorn: :spray:

14. There are still a too many racists here in Texas. I remember when I moved here in '81
the N word was used by some of these "good old boys" like it was some sort of accepted thing around us "white" folks. I was shocked. Coming from Nebraska you NEVER heard that, unless it was some lowlife who you wouldn't have anything to do with anyway.

But these guys in my workplace would smile and joke with black folks one second and as soon as their back was turned would call them THAT word like it was part of everyday speech.

Most have stopped that (not all) and now Muslims and Arabs are the new N.

People like him are disgusting, and a dying breed. They can't die fast enough.

I hope his pigs eat him like in "Deadwood".

15. I don't know why

rednecks think Muslims are phobic about pigs, like vampires are to garlic.

My husband is Muslim and he used to have a pet pig.
