“Unfortunately, if you go to country, you'll just get id10ts like Kobe Teeth or whatever his name is making political statements, so you can't win, really.”

“OK, the AMAs is not a kid's show. Does the entire freaking world have to become Disney to make you people happy?

what was it you were so offended by? Because aside from this being guy/guy kissing... nothing he did hasn't been done before.”

“I wouldn't expose my kids to him or any other Idol contestant foisted on a bored and unchallenged public. We don't need anymore rock stars, and Lambert is being provocative just to get press.”

“Hey, I agree with all of you. I guess I wasn't clear.

The conservatives want to purge "devouts".

I was saying take note of "radicals" in any religion who are exhibiting behaviors which raise red flags.
I was using the word "radical" as one who takes the views to extremes and starts making up rules to suit his or her own hatred or believes in the hatred spread by others within their "religion".
I see Tea-partiers as fanatical. And their uber-fringe as dangerous radicals! Many of them are not necessarily bound by one religion but I think we can guess they wouldn't want many "non-Christians of color" in their midst.
From what I have read about the Ft. Hood shooter is that he was in communication with violence invoking radical sects of the Muslim community. Not true believers but those who use religion to wrap around their hatred and blood thirst.”

“And what kind of test would you give them to determine if they are "radical"? And what is your definition of "radic"? I'm a radical, by most standards, but I would never even think of picking up a gun at all, much less to killing people. What about trying to figuring out what would trigger a mentally-unstable person to go over the edge and kill people? Are there tests for that?

And who said this was an "act of terrorism"? There have been many, many shootings in this country, in high schools and on college campuses, in fast food restaurants and post offices. Were those all acts of terrorism? Does the the fact that Hasan is a Muslim make it an "act of terrorism"? What do we call the murders that were committed by the three white (religion unknown) military and ex-military men at Fort Collins, Colorado. They've been charged in "at least" 11 murders. If they were Muslim would we be calling their crimes "acts of terrorism" as opposed to murders?”

“So who gets to decide what "too devout" is, and who decides who is in that category? That's a dangerous proposal there.”

“"You tell us who the ones are that we have to worry about, prove you're right, and Muslims can once again serve"

Sounds like a blanket statement to me.”

“Bush's dog?”

“I guess your daddy doesn't have any black men driving his trucks.”

“You are a good person...i­t comes through in your post.”

“A good argument for a liberal presence on talk radio - someone fun, intentionally offering counter - programming to Rush.”

“The second part - this guy just had a deadline to meet and had to write something.”

“The second argument”

“They need to fill up the paper with something. It's all a huge guessing game, and nobody knows anything at this stage. You'd get as much predictive value reading a horoscope as this stuff. As I said though, it's a fun little parlor game but not to be taken seriously.”

“Consider the source of the original article.”

“It's whatever gas the DC Beltway belches out.”

“I live here, too. Yep.”
