Can someone tell me what is happening behind the curtain while the MSM obsesses about Quran burners?

[devilgrrl]

Just thought I'd ask.

[Fumesucker]

1. Exactly what I've been wondering too.. n/t

[lost-in-nj]

2. I have the feeling

Secret service and Pres. Obama had lots to do with this....

oh and maybe the death threats..
what an ass
he had his 5 minutes....
now go crawl back into your hole


lost

3. Lot's to do with what?

[zeemike]

4. It is hard to say because there is a curtain.

But my guess is that they intend to find a way to use this against Obama....you know like a question...Did Obama intervene and use thug like or monetary persuasion to stop koran burning?
Which will spring a new conspiracy theory that it was an Islamic plot by Obama to bring Shirea law to the country.
You should know the game by now.

5. the same question's been going through my mind...

much ado about nothing and whipping those who get upset over such things--on both sides--into a frenzy.

It's a shouting contest over whose imaginary friend has a bigger dick, but the lamestream media has made it the most important thing EVER!!!11!!

7. No, actually it was much ado about real repercussions and consequences

Prominent Democrats and Republicans spoke out against the Florida pastor. Who do opine Kieth Olbermann was "measuring his dick" against when he spoke up about it?

11. No more real than Grand Theft Auto II or the latest release of Twilight

Politicians are well-known for speaking out about "serious issues" that aren't really issues and certainly not serious; stuff like how the latest music is going to be the ruination of America's youth or that somebody saw a titty on the TV.

If there was not so much media attention paid to religion and the delusional whack jobs who take it way too seriously, there wouldn't be so many repercussions and consequences. And in this case, yes, Keith Olberman is as guilty as his counterparts on Fox.

[woo me with science]

6. +1 nt

8. Same thing that was happening while Clinton was being

impeached for lying about a blowjob: the selling of this country to corporations, lock, stock and (oil) barrel.

Only now it's being done at Warp 10.

[gophates]

9. The "Huge" Republican polling advantage evaporated.

They don't want to cover that, so here we are. Up in Gainesville with Pastor Fuckwit.

[malaise]

10. Well for starters Cheney and his Liz(ard)

can't come out of the basement to respond to Blair. :evilgrin:
Scooter has crawled out looking work at Fux
and the banks continue to plunder everyone in sight.

I worry whether the secret RW government is planning an attack in the US - you know for election effect since the 0/11 happened under their watch and they did not keep America safe.
