I think our handlebar mustachioed friend in Florida is rethinking things. It's kind of hard to blackmail somebody when they call your bluff.
I don't know what is worse. This nutbag preacher, who clearly has no principles at all, or the scum in the media for following this idiotic story.
The media regularly make asses of themselves, but it's a rare occasion when they have to admit to themselves the ass clowns that they are.
Too bad too. It was looking like blackmail would have been the new primary method of political discourse in this country. I pictured pregnant women telling Sarah Palin "don't run for President or I will abort my fetus".
But alas it was not to be. Ah, the sweet taste of progress.
That preacher will not change his mind .
I think South Park though should have an episode showing the story 
And several times? Or did Pastor change his mind again? Am I reading correctly?
"I pictured pregnant women telling Sarah Palin "don't run for President or I will abort my fetus". But alas it was not to be. Ah, the sweet taste of progress." Thats over the top. A mind that can come up with a scheme like that needs to be closely examined. ROFLMFAO.
OK, so yes, it would appear that one could argue that the FL preacher has engaged in a sort of blackmail... move the mosque or I burn the books... But, let's not give the mosque folks a pass... they say if I move the mosque the muslims all over the world will revolt and attack Americans throughout the world.
So, it would seem there is enough blackmail "like" behavior to cover everyone.
Personally, if there was ever any doubt in anyone's mind that the world is headed for a repeat of history culminating in the crusades of the past, I suggest a wake up call. The muslims are at war with non muslims. That much seems to be proven in new ways just about every week. The only question seems to be when will the Pope say "enough is enough" and engage the Christians to defend themselves.
Thank you Willy. A few ppl actually know what Islam is really about, and it aint "peace"
We already have religious whack jobs on one side, do we really need to unleash the religious whack jobs on the other side?
I really wouldn't give a fuck if every Christian and every Muslim ended up prematurely going to heaven or Paradise, or wherever these idiots think they go after death. My problem is that there are liable to take me with them.
Fuck it, I don't know if I even care anymore. Let the Christians and Muslims fight it out, as long as they do it "over there", I'll get rich on $500 bbl oil, and find myself a nice little island to buy, along with enough "little brown girls" to keep me amused for a couple of decades.
Fuck both the Christians and the Muslims, fighting and killing each other for centuries over which version of the same fucking fairy tale is the "true fucking path" what a bunch of fucking morons.
I'm with ya on that.... gonna find me some of those non english speaking brown girls I've heard you talk about so much... Hell, we can even start a fucking new religion with sermons every day at the "Church of the Holy OH".
Religion is an outmoded belief system for idiots
who are afraid of death & want to believe in a "fairy tale" afterlifle. Pastor Jones is a crazed & ignorant fool. So is Imam Rauf. So are idiots who want to burn the Koran on youtube or support a Mosque 2 blocks from Ground Zero.
Religion has been an impediment to progress for over 600 years. Grow up, folks & stop believing in fairy tales !

but only about your 600 year assessment. lol I think it has much, much longer than that, WTF even the crusades go back further than 600 years.
I agree with everything else you had to say about Rauf, Jones, and all the idiots who believe like they do.
And if this happens again today, I am going to buy a lottery ticket because I only can win those when the sun rises in the west and sets in the east or I agree with WW on anything . . . . . . .
The media is the biggest culprit in this burning nonsense. Why did they give this two-bit pastor all this free, worldwide publicity? Surely there is another two or three hundred ridiculous stories out there that they could have salivated over.
Willy, you made a good point. That is until you tried to make your point about blackmail. Once you did that, you slipped back into being the old, pain-in-the-ass Willy . . . . .
I don't get what you mean PW. You don't think this is blackmail? Or attempted blackmail at least?
But this shit should never be allowed to happen.
