So, remember that Right Wing Extreme armed group?

[wookie72]

The guys who were going to bring their guns to the Koran burning?

It turns out they've changed their mind - apparently the Koran burners are too extreme for them.

This is like when the KKK (Not a word of a lie) renounced the Westborough Baptists.

1. "Obama’s endorsement of the masque" Hahahaha. Link from Huff Post also

from your link, they talk about "Obama’s endorsement of the masque being built at ground zero".

Obama endorsed a masque at ground zero?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-carmichael/bonfire-of-the-korans_b_695713.html
Dr. Jones' original plan for the bonfire of the Korans included the support of a heavily armed militia and security organization that calls itself, "Right Wing Extreme."

However, after working with Dr. Jones, the leadership of Right Wing Extreme issued a press release yesterday that stated, "After much thought and prayer the organization's leadership determined this event does not glorify GOD in way that leads the lost to Jesus Christ."(sic) In other words, Dr. Jones and his flock are too extreme for Right Wing Extreme.

Even after some adverse publicity the members of Dr. Jones' flock remain enthusiastic about their prospects for International Burn a Koran Day. On their website, Pastor Wayne Sapp observes that their church has received a flood of emails critical of their plans to immolate a growing stack of Qurans.

3. a short allegorical dramatic entertainment of the 16th and 17th centuries performed by masked actors

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masque

The masque was a form of festive courtly entertainment which flourished in sixteenth and early seventeenth century Europe, though it was developed earlier in Italy, in forms including the intermedio (a public version of the masque was the pageant). Masque involved music and dancing, singing and acting, within an elaborate stage design, in which the architectural framing and costumes might be designed by a renowned architect, to present a deferential allegory flattering to the patron. Professional actors and musicians were hired for the speaking and singing parts. Often, the masquers who did not speak or sing were courtiers: James I's Queen Consort, Anne of Denmark, frequently danced with her ladies in masques between 1603 and 1611, and Henry VIII and Charles I performed in the masques at their courts. In the tradition of masque, Louis XIV danced in ballets at Versailles with music by Lully.

10. it was on commondreams.org

I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about posting it, but it was just so weird I thought it had to be seen to be believe.

I apologize if it's offensive.

[BeHereNow]

11. No apology needed! It just scary to see what's on there.

Looks like a "White Power" site to me.

12. Probably

and again, if it is offensive, I'm really sorry, I should have maybe thought twice about posting it, but that was the only link I could find on the commondreams site.

STill, it boggles the mind... a group like that realizing that they would be getting bad PR from being associated with the Florida people... wow.

[BeHereNow]

14. Again, no need to apologize! It's very important to...

... face, digest and be aware of the crazies.
Visiting that web site is evidence of just how
extreme the factions are.
