You really watched Mrs. Milf Palin speak?

You could watch them on TV then too, but of course, seeing the speeches isn't really the point of a demonstration, is it?

So I suppose that means that you were an attendee by way of internet? Pretty sad if that is how the numbers are inflated....... "We had 80,000 in attendance physically, but theoretically 'the whole world' was watching".........

I am going to show my support and protest by watching Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin on tv/interwebs...... "Stand upsit down and be counted.."

Back when Wright was front page news in 2008, I asked an expert on the black church and on that school of theology more about it. He explained that it's all about the hermeneutics -- the point of view you take for interpreting Scripture and applying it to your life.


As J. Kameron Carter, associate professor of Theology and Black Church Studies at Duke University Divinity School, told me:

"Hermeneutics isn't whether you have the Scripture right or wrong, it's the sunglasses you're wearing when you read it and when you look out at the world."

It sounds as if Beck and Wright have the same taste for "sunglasses".....

I wonder how many of the people at that rally were offended by the NYC Mosque's proposed opening date. I guess that only Muslims have to be conscious about who their plans offend.

I fail to see what your point is. I didnt see anything about the mosue your reffering to in this rally's website but i did see this in the rules section.

"Safety for all is our primary concern so please follow all rules posted and be respectful of all in attendance. "
"

With your support and help we were able to raise more than $5-million dollars for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. "

The guys a prick but he did a good thing. Why try to tarnish that with statements that are not even relivant?

I think he was saying that if the mosque opening on 9/11 was found to be offensive, then shouldn't it be alright for people to feel offended about having the rally on the same day as MLK's rally?

I get that part but the two aren't really the same. Sure 2 are rallies but the other is a building opening. Which means 1 day done and here forever. If we are going to have to start checking calenders for prior things done in this country to schedule another event im pretty sure we would be done with new events.

Ok - feel offended. Better?
