…then odds are your first story is bullocks.
But don’t worry CBS, although you will be laughed at by the people who showed up, and distrusted by people in general you will get linked by Johnson and Sullivan.

If you want to know why people are suspicious of Mosques…

It’s stuff like this:
An alarming, must-see video at Big Peace shows prominent leaders of the Islamic community in the United States openly raising money for terrorism at a Saudi-funded mosque in central Florida.
Organized by the Islamic Society of Central Florida’s Imam Muhammad Musri, the compelling video features leftist former UK MP George Galloway and three-time felon Mahdi Bray of the Muslim American Society’s Freedom Foundation raising at least $55,000 for Hamas.
The sad thing is, if the MSM was willing to report on this stuff when it was happening it might have been nipped in the bud and wouldn’t have emboldened these guys to continue along these lines.
Well at least groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center investigate stuff like this: Oh Wait:
With regard to monitoring radical jihadists, we have made a pragmatic decision to leave that mainly to the major Jewish NGOs, which do a good job and have some real expertise that would likely take us years to develop.
When there is no disincentive for bad behavior you get more of it.

This was just said on Reliable Sources. He is serious.
Jane Hall is going on about how Beck is not a reverend and hitting him for it.
They are crying Fox news, Fox news… as if that is all one needs to say.
You just can’t make this stuff up.

Al Sharpton is one smart operator

After a year or more of the left trying to first dismiss the tea parties as AstroTurf, then as irreverent, then not as big as they claim, then finally as violent racist and all of them failing miserably, Sharpton came up with a brilliant idea.
By holding a competing rally who’s primary mission was to declare the other rally evil and divisive, Sharpton was able to give the left something else to cover. To create an equivalence.
You can not find coverage of the Restoring Honor Rally without seeing coverage of Sharpton, (this post for example). The blogs on the left, some of who might not normally want to give him the time of day are forced to do so, because the alternative is to deal with Beck and the numbers he produced.
Sharpton saw this opportunity and jumped at it and the liberals with no alternatives must elevate him for his aggrandizement and profit.
Ironic isn’t it, Sharpton’s actions are the ultimate expression of capitalism, abetted by those who reject it.
