@SailRabbits I do like the ones where they complain about why the rich GOP trustees aren't doing enough to change things. 11:47 PM Sep 3rd via web in reply to SailRabbits

@Park51 Thanks for linking! You all should get your own old, busted bomb and circle Newt Gingrich's house, for laffs. 7:57 PM Sep 2nd via web in reply to Park51

@nycsouthpaw Right, that's stupid. "Support/Oppose" has always been misleading. It's "Couldn't begin to care/FREAK THE FUCK OUT about" 8:16 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw Good. Because earlier? "For public officials, the First Amendment is the relevant issue and the only issue." Can I go now? 8:12 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw Yep, those are defenses for the stance that Corboba isn't insensitive or unwise. You'd have to take that stance first, though. 7:44 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw All of NYC is terrible, of course. I just hope Obama has a good response to, Is there a *reason* to be offended by this? 7:25 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw Khammer I misread. His argument is irrelevant by weeks, though, since the zoning board attempt already failed. 7:05 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw PamG said it's not about religious freedoms; she thinks TERRORISM is why they want to build there instead of elsewhere. 6:59 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw One should be able to say, No, there is nothing offensive about one city location being blocks from another city location. 6:45 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw Yup! Check out palin, kristol, nat'l review, krauthammer, lieberman, ADL even PAM GELLER said this yesterday. 6:36 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw No. GOP critics *agree* (mostly) that they have equal rights. Their dangerous BS is, "muslims near WTC site?? offensive! Move!" 6:16 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
@nycsouthpaw anyway, he won't have much to defend himself with when GOP says, "since you brought it up, what about the relevant question?" 6:00 PM Aug 14th via web in reply to nycsouthpaw
