Queen, I didn't see anyone beating anyone in that clip but the OP said he was beaten. Did you see him get beaten. I ask you because the rest of these libs really didn't see anything either but it had been suggested by the far west coast lefty and they would see anything whether it happened or not. When I saw the black man he looked really frightened.

It doesn't matter who he was, nobody had the right to attack him.
Did you see someone attack the man. I just couldn't find it although the camera man seemed to be searching hard for him after he left the scene.

I didn't see anyone attack him. Would anyone that DID see an attack care to point it out?

But he was stopped and never did attack anyone. The man about to be attacked didn't seem to be very frightened. I guess I am just not liberal enough to see the things you guys see.

Please quote where the OP said the guy was beaten. This is what the OP said:

Did you see him get attacked? I ask you because you said he was almost attacked and all the other libs here keep talking about him getting attacked. I never did see it happen and he didn't act like he thought he was going to be attacked.

The OP's title is a little deceiving.

That man looked like he was certainly anticipating being attacked and I don't think he ever was. Libs have more eyes than I do though.

Idiots.


Lets not forget that there is ALREADY a Mosque near Ground Zero. Masjid Manhattan, has been on 20 Warren St. since January 1970 - almost a full year before the WTC even opened. The fact is, this building has sat empty for nine years. For nine years, this building has been empty and didn't even have any type of future what so ever. An Islamic Group buys this building for a couple of million dollars (chump change in NYC - especially Lower Manhattan) and plans to build a Community Center which just so happens to have a prayer room on the top floor, and every one to the right of Barack Obama, looses their marbles.

What a total none issue.

Since when conservatives have been about stripping someone of their property rights? This group bought the land, so they can do whatever the hell they please as long as it dosn't violate zoning laws. Get over it. I also get a hoot out of people who say "Well, they have the right to build it there, but they should move it!" To where? 5 blocks away? 10? 50? If we can tell people to move a "Mosque" because it's near GZ, who is to say we can't tell a group to move a proposed Catholic church because it is near a school? (Hey, you want those priest near your kids!)

Some people tell them to build something else. Like what? A Burger King? (There is one right across from GZ - I'm sure the nabe can use another) A strip club? (There are some right near there; another won't hurt) How about a upside-down, inside-out Taoist temple (China pretty much own us at this point, so we can just look at it as a gift).

Muslims seem to be the pinata for knuckle-dragging bigots these days (I wonder who is next) so grouping 1.6 BILLION people continue to be the national hobby. Let's continue to prove to the real terroist that we're at war with Islam, hell, they've been saying it the whole time. I shutter to think that Bin Laden (remember him) will pump out a video showing these fools and saying "Americans are at war with our religion." Thanks for jeopardizing my safety and those all around the nation.

As I wrap up this rant, we need to think to ourselves: Just who are we? Are we really a nation in which we value the rights and freedoms of all our citizens? Or are we going to let Al-Qaeda change the very nature of our freedoms and beliefs and change the very fabric in which what it means to be an American?
