WASHINGTON (AFP) — Two senior Republican US Senators pleaded Thursday for a Florida pastor to abandon plans to burn hundreds of Korans, warning the incendiary gesture could endanger US troops overseas.

"Pastor (Terry) Jones' threats to burn the Koran will put American service men/women in danger -- for their sake please don't do it!" the party's 2008 presidential candidate, John McCain, said on his Twitter feed.

And Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned that the "stunt" risked endangering US troops in the field, while urging the news media to show restraint amid global outrage at the pastor's plans.

Our “ FEARLESS LEADER” McConnell , who quietly workes with Trent Lott to finance RINOS against conservatives, has done it again.

The RINOS currently control the GOP. Stop them, or we are FINISHED as a viable party.

McCain-—what a hypocrite POS!

When was he “pleading” with his terrorist Islamic Albanian buddies when they were burning down and desecrating Churches and beheading Christians in the Balkans?

crickets chirping.

The message is clear.
“We will do anything to appease you”

That’s a pretty good translation. There are, however, a lot of people who feel otherwise about bowing down before Islam.

Why are they so careful not to piss off the muzzies? I thought the muzzies were “peaceful”.

No, but he was busy arming the KLA and other al-Qaeda terrorists that were attacking Christians and other non-Muslims.

"Even in 1998 when we had problems with Milosevic, McCain did everything that we asked of him to the benefit of the Albanian people, including arming the KLA..."

McCain is a Vichy RINO appeaser. Appeasing liberal Democrats, appeasing Mexicans, appeasing Islamists in Kosovo, and the list goes on!

It almost makes you wonder whether he was “appeasing” Vietnamese Communists as a POW!

I am stunned, shocked, saddened, and dumbfounded at the total way over the top reaction to this one preacher. The sec. of state, Pres., General Petraus, and the Sec. of Defense and now congress all pleading, crying, begging. What does that say about us?

Are we that weak in this upside down world? We have to be afraid of every preacher with a congregation of 50 people that insults islam?

Whatever you do..do not piss them off or they will act like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTzPquPn-D4

How could this lead the news cycle for so long? They have their victory in spades.

Arizona re elected this jerk. Wait till he gets back in the Senate and figuratively spits on his fellow Republicans.

I don't need to say anything about the defunct Koran burning except what the Libbies say about building that victory mosque at ground zero. It is the right of this fellow to burn the Koran. He is protected by free speech.

Right back at the Libbies for their preaching about building that terrorist victory mosque and ground zero!

When a pastor of a 50 member church can get this kind of attention from so-called national leaders, with the threat that pastors actions could endanger americans and the troops...

It says a lot about how little we have done in exterminating these radicals that want to do us harm.

Nazis have promised to retaliate for every copy of Mein Kampf burned. A group of skinheads burned an American flag today, and promised to commit random acts of terrorism against liberals, if the Mein Kamph burnings don’t stop immediately. Juan McCain pleaded with Americans to respect the Constitutional right to worship Hitler and promote national Socialism, saying it is un-American to burn holy books like Mein Kampf.

Nonsense. Going out of your way to offend people is never a good strategy whether you are Muslim or Christian or neither.

Yes but in this instance the groveling is much worse than the actual insult.

I would like to see a mass shredding of the Koran every time there is a barbaric act from this peace loving Stone Age clan. Then the material should be given to Pig Farmers for animal bedding!
