Can I get a job subbing Beck's show now?
Same thing? That is just plain stupid. Your hero Barry is just too gutless to address the wisdom of the mosque. He takes great care not to offend the Muslim world, the families of dead Americans are another story, he doesn't care if he offends them. It is clear where his loyalties lie.
Hilarious, he couldn't address the wisdom of the mosque and he says the book burning wasn't wise, and you say that is the same. Ask an adult to explain it for you.
I still have not heard even one coherent statement about the wisdom of building the mosque near the Trade Center site, not one. And our gutless president won't even address the issue. But he will speak to the wisdom of burning the Koran. It is clear where his loyalities lie.
The pimps are technically adults.
Oh, and Mr. Obama isn't my hero. He's the President and his name is Barack Hussein Obama [contrary to your previous post, he does not prefer to be called "Barry."]. I, unlike you, stupid groupie twit, do not participate in hero worship. I did not support Obama and would not have voted for him had McCain not foisted the Bore of Babble-on on this country.
This has nothing to do with the "Muslim world," it has to do with the religious freedoms contained in the First Amendment of the Constitution . . . a document which, based upon your posts here, you have absolutely NO familiarity with, at ALL.
It is the same thing, stupid. His original comment was EXACTLY the same. He said that the Muslims AND the nutjob in Florida both have the right to practice their religions in this country, they DO. He clarified his first comment regarding Park51 community center by saying that he was NOT commenting on the WISDOM of putting the community center there. I know that nuance is hard for mindless groupie twits like you, but try REALLY hard. He was saying that he didn't think it was WISE. Get your head out of Fox and get a REAL adult to explain it to you.
Lordy, do you have a LIFE outside of your television set? Get help, groupie twit.
"I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there," Obama said. "I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That's what our country is about."

On the other hand he has clearly criticised the wisdom of burning the Koran. If you think that is a nuance than you are clearly in need of a remedial course in the English language. You truly are a moron, Barry's comments on the 2 issues are opposites.
And you also show that in addition to being a moron you are a hypocrite. You object to my using the nickname Barry for your gutless hero, but not once have you ever objected to the use of far worse leveled at the preceding administration. Clearly you have 2 sets of standards, just like most of your liberal comrades here.
Why don't you comment on the wisdom of building the mosque? So far the issue is being ducked by all on the left who only speak about the right to build it, something that was never in question. Perhaps you can ask your managing director how to reply to that , while you are taking dicktation.
Obama's original comments regarding Park 51 were strictly about the constitutional and rights angles of it. He later clarified that, saying that he "hadn't" commented on the wisdom of it, not that he "couldn't".
There's really not a lot for a third party to comment on concerning somebody's building on their private property, especially if the "wisdom" of doing so is only affected by the reaction of bigots mislead by the media.
The wisdom of the Koran burning is a much more clear topic, a public display of religious intolerance ( camouflaged as religious freedom) with no other motive than stirring up hate towards an already maligned group.
I think I agree with your sentiments, I just disagree that Obama was saying the same thing about both issues... there's no inconsistency on the president's part, but the issues are different enough that it would have been illogical to say the same thing about both.
Actually he said he "will not" comment. He refuses to tell the American people how he feels about it. It is just like all of his "present" votes in his legislative record.
Quran burning bad. Mosque bad. Both things equal bad. Me feel better now.
One is right, one is wrong. Period.
Building a Mosque? Morally RIGHT. How do I know? Simple: Just ask a Christian how they would feel about building a CHURCH and then treat the two equally, as required by our Constitution. (Which I hold as inherently good.)
Burning the Koran? Morally WRONG. How do I know? Simple: Just ask a Christian how they would feel about burning the BIBLE and treat them equally, as required by our Constitution. (Which I hold as inherently good.)
It is my greatest belief, the one I hold most sacred, that their is no greater sin than hypocrisy. If something is "good" for you, than it's good for them. And if it's "bad" for them, then it's bad for you. Done. Period. End of story.
The position of the Book-Burners is indefensible. The position of the Mosque protesters is likewise indefensible. The inherent hypocrisy of both groups undermines any argument they try to make.
OTOH, there is NO "inconsistency" on the part of Obama. Only on the part of the Religious Funny-Mentalists on the Right who continue to let their sad devotion to medieval superstitions cloud their ability to apply simple logic, reason and moral principle.
