They’re actually pretty simple to understand.
All you have to do is take any issue, and don’t think any deeper about it than the point where you feel good about yourself as a good person.
It’s really that easy.
I’d like to point out that in America when we oppose something we speak our minds, write our Congressmen, peacefully march in protest. We do NOT fly planes into buildings and murder thousands of innocents.
If not, why not?
Maybe some Brits will come along and comment upon your verbal ridiculousness.
I concur.
The depth of the insult here, considering the subject, is unbelievable.
Keep it up, Norah. It only shows how dishonest and out of touch with reality you are.
The image of an egg cooking in a frying pan from the anti-drug commercial popped into my head - only, the ending should be that, “this is your brain on liberalism”! Moron doesn’t even come close to describing these people.
KOALA SNACK BARRRRRR!
Norah O’Donnell knows that this is a hip thing to say in her social circles and that this will go over well with the MSNBC bosses. Liberals are falling all over themselves to see who can demonstrate the most fealty to the latest liberal fad - i.e., support for the GZ mosque. It’s becoming like a cult now - the more illogical, the greater your faith, allegiance, loyalty to the liberal cause, whatever.
I'll take a crack at it.
Ms. O'Donnell:
I could defend the detractors of this mosque and make it very clear that the last thing that motivates them is Islamophobia, but if you were interested in anything about these people other than slandering them, you would know that. So, I will pretend for a moment that everyone opposed to this mosque, even the widows, parents and siblings of dead firefighters, cops and airline pilots, is motivated by hateful islamophobia, an islamophobia so strong it's as bad as any hate the Klan ever harbored for blacks. That is, after all, what you've accused these people of.
If that's true, then these evil haters have done the following:
Attended meetings.
Written op-eds and given interviews.
Talked about the issue on radio programs.
Carried signs.
Petitioned their government.
Requested that the mosque move, but still be in lower Manhattan.
Offered them alternate space donated by the State of New York. (That's what that "terrorist" Governor Patterson has been up to.)
Now, tell me...what on that list compares to slitting a flight attendant's throat? To bathing secretaries and stockbrokers in burning jet fuel in the name of God? Where is the 2 year old girl they have killed by driving her plane into a building? Where is the 11 year old science wiz on a National Geographic trip they have murdered?
Because I'm writing this on Free Republic, here are a couple of personal questions: Where is the battalion chief the mosque opponents have killed, like Al-Qaida killed our brother John Moran? Where are the authors the mosque opponents have killed, like Al-Qaida killed our sister, Barbara Olson? Show me the attack that Debbie Burlingame or Rush Limbaugh led that left sons without a father like John's boys, or left a man without his beautiful bride like Ted Olson.
Show me. Where are they? Where is the mayhem? Surely you, in your great wisdom, can't be wrong?
And one last question: This morning, when you accused people of being unspeakably evil because they disagreed with you on an issue, did you feel any sense of irony, or have you moved evolved past such silly things to a higher plane?
I said several, unprintable, things out-loud when I heard this... person’s... comments.
If you’d like my calmer, more polite, feelings on the matter you can check out the blog linnk in my signature line.
Al-Qaida wasn’t attacking NYC, they were attacking America. And though you weren’t here yet, you should be aware that at least two Freepers (that we know of!) died in action that day.
BCM aka Battalion Chief John Moran, FDNY
BKO aka Barbara Olson, Journalist and author

Class act, sir, and far more than she deserves.
That mosque was such a big deal that a science fiction writer warning about a future worldwide caliphate put it in the story as the calpihate’s world HQ, kind of like the Vatican for followers of the moon god.
You got that right...what a twirp and then some!
That loud snapping sound you may have heard right before she said that was her left neuron stretching so tight from the effort to form a thought that it snapped like a rubber band. Fortunately for Nora, her right neuron was still functioning, allowing the words to still come out of her mouth.
