Ground Zero mosque Imam blames Sarah Palin for 'growing Islamophobia'

Quote:
Mrs Palin was the first major national figure to get involved in what had been a localised dispute when she sent a Twitter message in July stating: "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing."

Maher is a comedian. He exaggerates to get a laugh.

Some find his humor good, others don't.

At least he doesn't masquerade as a "newsman".

wannabe "newsmen"

It's apparent some folks can't distinguish.

the only times i've seen that phrase is when LWNJ's continuously whine about the right using it - this, of course, despite the fact that obama was an honored speaker at the 2007 'take back America' conference
