Scarborough is being a fool. If he wants to humiliate his country a second time, then that’s on him.

I thought Gingrich echoes Nancy pelosi’s position on everything.

Have we heard Nancy’s position on the mosque yet? It is an election year for her...

“Can Joe please switch parties please.”

He already did, just didn’t announce it.

Whatever happens with the mosque,the Constitution must be respected. Would be nice to see everyone agree to that.

Joe Scarborough is a Patriot. Standing up for your Constitution is everyone’s duty.

Getting ahead of angry mob and spreading fear and adding fuel to the fire require no courage or skill.

Of all the things, people have lost their minds to the point that now we are ready to throw away Bill of Rights? Wake up people.

Newt has chosen to serve Elites. He won’t come and bail you out of Fema-Camp someday, if you go along and give up Bill of Rights.

Hmmm....

So it was out of context and now when you read the actual paragraph and compare it to Joe’s mischaracterization, they have no parity between them.

AS much as Newt grieves me once in awhile, Joe would not make a pimple on Newt's butt. Joe has turned from being a Republican into a Huffington.

I’ve yet to see anyone suggest the Constitution shouldn’t be respected on this issue.

What I DO see is a lot of people who realize that just because something is Constitutionally-protected doesn’t mean it’s right, or that we have to like it, or shut up about not liking it.

Welcome to FR nOOb. Joe is a self agrandizing idiot who take a paycheck from GE, a company who took bailout money for banks.

He is not exactly approaching issues without an external influence.

There is no Constitional issue here. No one is denying them their right.

We are asking for politeness, out respect for continued grievance.

There probably isn’t anything we can legally do to stop this monstrosity from being built.

BTW, Joe took Newt’s statement so far out of context it is just unbelievable!

In a post-Shirley Sherrod world, shouldn’t commentators be careful about expressing an opinion about excerpted comments? Isn’t this especially true for a so-called conservative reading excerpts printed in the New York Times?

For instance, Gingrich said the following on “Fox & Friends” this Monday morning providing a little more context to these twelve words:

GINGRICH: This happens all the time in America. Nazis don’t have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum in Washington. We would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor. There’s no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center.

Much less offensive in that context, correct?

Joe Scarborough and any number of federal judges are having trouble with the concept that it is BEYOND the bounds for folks to be out there urinating on graves ~ and that's what this is.

Joe'd best prepare his widow and his kids for his own funeral because it's gonna' be a wet one fur shur.

The judges should do the same ~ those rulings in favor of Westboro Baptist Church are like a siren call for equal treatment eh.
