Other people on "The Not a Mosque that's Not at Ground Zero"

You may have read my post on the Not a mosque that's not at ground zero. I'm still equally upset, but I'll leave the talking to a few brilliant people whose contribution to the discussion should be as widely disseminated as possible.


* Charlie Brooker, "'Ground Zero mosque'? America needs a reality check. Really"
That should be a slap in the face to many ignoramuses out there.
(thanks to @ahmednaguib)


* Keith Olbermann's Special Comment this week: There is no Ground Zero Mosque.

With no exaggeration whatsoever, I am playing this repeatedly. I am trying to convince myself that there still is hope in America. I am. Trying. Hard.




* In case you're curious about the Jacksonville,Florida mosque bombing that Olbermann is referring to, see this.


Then you have the unavoidable, the brilliant -
* Jon Stewart - Extremist Makeover - Homeland Edition on why guilt by association is a ridiculous and dangerous game to play.

Don't give up on Americans just yet. Fortunately, we're not ALL bigots, and plenty of us are fine with Cordoba House. The bigots and ignoramuses who appear on TV do not speak for all of us.

It's a deal, Ahab. I won't be giving up quite yet. But we need people like you to speak up! Tell the ignoramuses - and the world - that Americans are still what we always thought they were!
