Beck fill-in Thompson says threatening to burn Qurans could be a "hell of a bargaining tool" with the Muslim world

No. It isn't.

wow. he's dumb! spectacularly so!

Nope . . . Lordy, this guy is dumber than Beck.

Then what's our gigantic arsenal of nuclear weapons for?

Wouldn't be the first time that someone felt that way.

It's interesting how this little jerk turns this story around. An Anti-Muslim bigot threatens to burn a Koran and idiot-boy here says that Muslims who are angry over this are showing their "intolerance." Amazing.
Of course his grade school level answer--that we should threaten to burn Korans to get our way--is probably thought of as a brilliant idea by Glenn Beck's listeners. I can see them nodding their empty heads as they listen to this drivel. "Yep, yep, yep that's what we need to do! Yep, yep yep."
I can see that Thompson has a great career ahead of him in talk radio. He's stupid. He's arrogant. He likes to mock minorities. Yeah he'll go far. So move over Glennie, this guy is going to give you some competition for the wingnut audience.

Why do they give a mic to a stupid child. What a dip this one is. How about we start to kidnap and hold for ransom. Or as you put it, "why should we care what happens on the other side of the world?". Your own words accidentally spoke the truth.

As a negotiating tool, this reminds me of Cleavon Little taking himself hostage in Blazing Saddles.

And if the Quran burning doesn't persuade you Muslims, well then we'll invade and bomb a couple of Muslim nations, ha ha, and.... umm...

What's that? We tried that already? Oh.

I do not think "bargaining tool" means what he thinks it means.

So if these negotiations break down, we're free to burn pieces of paper, and they're free to murder anyone they want?
yeah, that's a fair deal...

Interesting that he called it a "hell" of a bargaining tool...

--------------------------------------------
Because, assuming his religion is the right one, that's exactly where he's going!

I'm going to have a Glenn Beck book burning, if Beck doesn't negotiate with me.

Who knew our national defense was this simple? All we have to do is provide a government-issue butane lighter and a copy of the Koran to every American. Voila, the war on terror has been won!

This would be the 21st century equivalent of wearing garlic around your neck to ward off vampires.

Man, conservatives' view of the world is so infantile! A guy like this is simply not capable of complex thought.

yikes. not too bright, are ya, doc?

"..hell of a negotiating tool..."

Yep, you're right if your intention is to tick off an enemy you made by being insensitive in the first place. No, dummy, what you do is get every Muslim, including the moderates and liberals, to think that Americans have no respect or tolerance for Islam and that we want to destroy it completely. Yep, a great way to get them even angrier at us than they are now. I guess you have a secret death wish for yourself and everyone around you. What an idiot!

Note to Doc Thompson:
Don't give up your day job as a wackadoodle, unpaid radio hack fill-in, completely lacking in knowledge of how the world really operates.

Now please give the microphone back to an adult and go play in your room with your toy soldiers.

So, next time the Troglodytes get all rowdy and try to require the teaching of their superstitions in Science Class, all I have to do is threaten to burn a pile of Bibles, and they'll go away?

Now I remember this guy. He's the one that said the tax on tanning salon sessions (with their obvious associated health care risks) was racist because only white people went to tanning salons.

Got it.

Only a fool would believe that. A rational person would find it disrespectful but know that they could always print more. A crazy person would think it was something to kill for. I don't see how it could be an effective bargaining tool.

On the other hand ... threatening to burn Glenn Beck could be a hell of a bargaining tool with the Tea Baggers.

Woo Hoo! Squawks is here! (He always shows up when they start posting Rush's garbage . . . you can tell he's here because of his wordless thumbs down!)

donnie deutsch on msnbc today suggested that Obama use federal marshalls to do whatever it takes to stop this koran burning bullcrap....and pat bucannan was in total agreement...i guess bucannan would also support the government storming radio stations and remove seditious talk show hosts from the air for advocting for behavior that may cause harm to soldiers and americans traveling abroad....Mr Obama should realize that these racist right wingers have been burning relegious symbols for decades. its their thing, perhaps he can simply supply Doc with a truckload of big ole giant wooden crucifixes and a hillside to burn em on and they will scrap this whole koran burning thing.

Nice try wingnut unfortunatly for you the muslims DID NOT say they would do what you want them to do if you threaten to burn korans, what they said was WE WE KILL YOU AND YOURS IF U BURN THE HOLY KORAN....right???.....by the way wingnut ....theres a book of matches and koran in the left hand drawer.....good luck to ya
