Boehner: Koran Burning Unwise

[wesleyfpt]

The islamic community center isn't at ground zero..its 2 blocks away in an old Burlington Coat Factory. It's a non-issue.

Islam did not attack us, a fringe sect of fundamentalist nutjobs did. Many Muslim American's died on 9/11. Many Muslim American's fight in our military against these extremists.

Trying to stop people from excercising their religous freedoms and praying on private property is about as un-American and un-patriotic as it gets...and this guy could be our next speaker..ouch.

[TruthAndMoreTruth]

He just couldn't say it could he?

[sciabattoni]

Boner is such a pig.

And George a wimp.

How about asking Boner " are you equating the NYC mosque debate with this crazy Quran buring person?"

"Yes or no congressman?"

You are the leader of your party congressman. Yes or no?"

[creatorofutube]

wtf???? comparing building a mosque and burning the koran????

and then arguing that its about tolerance???? really???

[Chewy240284]

...pft....do it

its religious freedom

burning a sacred book is the same as building a community centre right?

[nicfillion]

I never thought I'd click "like" on a comment of his! Good job sir!

[lorena509]

Wow, I'm shocked & somewhat impressed that he's being reasonable unlike ALL of the other Conservatives.

[kaysandesses]

@lorena509 He was being reasonable until he had to throw in his b.s. about the Park51 community center.

[lorena509]

@kaysandesses, I have to agree w/u. I'm a Dem & Usually I loathe these people. LOL

[MozTS]

lol at boehner literally looking at his handler before answering the question.

[Gark50]

Sir, you're telling him not to do it? Hello, still there?

[towerdawg1976]

Who cares if they do it. Shutup already,stop talking about it. Your giving the tiliban recruitment tools.

[HomleandSecurity]

@mcguire162 You're employing Communist Party logic here, and I have trouble parsing it. I simply said that the Ground Zero mosque is a bad idea. Burning the Koran may be "unwise" but it is protected under the First Amendment.

[hellshade2]

this is the type of thing to expect from those who listen to a "higher" power.

someone should tell that preacher if he wants to listen to a true higher power then go smoke a fatty and mellow out and leave the koran unburnt. it will be better for all in the long run...

[HomleandSecurity]

@hellshade2 Smoking "a fatty" is in violation of Federal law and your IP address has been turned over to the relevant authorities.

[hellshade2]

@HomleandSecurity hey thnxs man, but if they want to burn a fatty they better bring there own.

btw interesting channel you have. either very satirical or your a nut but hey i'll go with satire and give ya the benefit of doubt....

[HomleandSecurity]

Boehner is a bit inconsistent here. Of course the Ground Zero mosque should not be built, but calling burning the Koran "unwise" goes against the First Amendment.

[hellshade2]

@HomleandSecurity actually calling it unwise is not against the constitution now if he says flat out they cannot do it that would be against the constitution

[KyoxXxlove]

@hellshade2 He can say whatever he wants to because of the first amendment. The act of actually stopping them by force would be unconstitutional.

[hellshade2]

@KyoxXxlove correct, i misspoke and i stand corrected. :)

[HomleandSecurity]

@hellshade2 @mcguire162 1st Amendment says that "Congress shall make no law." It says nothing about Boehner. He can tell them to do it or not do it.

[lorena509]

@HomleandSecurity, then you should have no problem with anybody burning the christian bible then...right? You're pathetic!  (forced interracial marriages..what kind of a whack job r U?...one your dad should have thrown away in a tissue)

[kaysandesses]

@lorena509 FYI HomleandSecurity is a troll. Seriously.

[rundatrack]

@Jfesmire - Thats funny how he did add that in.

[88donja]

Wow he had to ask him like 3 times???

[jfesmire]

But notice how he had to throw in the building of the mosque. Interesting.

[88donja]

@jfesmire Yep

[pakratmak]

I'm not a fan of the guy but his statement at the beginning there addressing both the Imam and this asshole pastor, was absolutely spot on.

[FoShizzle951]

what a douchebag. can't even tell somone not to burn books. why do people vote for the gop again?

[MintV2]

The burning of any book is the height of ignorance... this isn't Wasilla, Alaska.

[MAGNETGRUNT]

Tactically this is VERY unwise. Morally I would say GO FOR IT! based on the prime objectives of Islam. Obviously this BONER moron does not live in Baltimore and knows nothing of Islam .... but the price to be paid is too high. However, any fool should know that this is the one thing the Military Industrial complex needs in order to spice of the war, create the backdrop for another 911, the implementation of martial law, war on our own land and a massive troop boost approved for Afghanistan..

[Reqrezentin]

@MAGNETGRUNT

?

[kaysandesses]

@MAGNETGRUNT How about prime objectives of the Bible such as stoning your ill-behaved children, and forcing rape victims to marry their attackers?

[micahgee]

Way to compare the burning of thousands of holy books to the planned construction of a community center, Boner!



[DrFrankLives]

someone tell this human Cheetoh there is no equivalency between building a religious center and burning the damn Koran.

Someone also tell him he is not worthy of the Speaker's chair.

[hellshade2]

@DrFrankLives i have to agree with you and i totally lol'd at the "human cheeto" comment.

[kaysandesses]

@joshpnw An interesting side effect of this pastor's foolish actions is that it has resulted in a huge outpouring of sensible rhetoric from Christians and Jews in the U.S. and abroad. This expression of outrage against Pastor Caterpillar Lip's threat may have the unintended result of an increase in dialogue and goodwill between Muslims, Christians, and Jews.

The only bad thing about the 1st amendment is sometimes we have to see or hear things we disagree with. Props.

[MintV2]

@kaysandesses

"a huge outpouring of sensible rhetoric from Christians and Jews"

----------

This may be the greatest oxymoron of all time, definitely a podium finish.

[kaysandesses]

@MintV2 I don't think you understand my point. The "sensible rhetoric" I refer to is their message that all the religions should get along instead of waging pitched battles at every opportunity.

BTW, the greatest oxymoron of all time is the "Religious Fiction" aisle at barnes and noble.

[MintV2]

@kaysandesses Point taken. Palestine should be expecting the return of it's stolen land any day now.

[kaysandesses]

@MintV2 Who knows, maybe something like this is the first step?

[Francebrasil]

Unwise??? How polite!!!!!!!

[newbreed1]

I like how Boehner needed to be prodded into saying that burning Korans is foolish.

[EmperorAtahualpa]

@newbreed1: Probably you're a Democrat (I also would be if I were American), but don't do overdo it. Boehner just said the right thing here, plain and simple. I don't think he was beating around the bush on this one.

[tradernorton05]

I'll be burning BOTH the quran and the bible on saturday, and those who oppose can kiss my hairy ass.

Fuck you and your cancer of political correctness.

[izaccy]

@tradernorton05

agreed lol

even though you might just waste your time burning papers

without the ink, it could have been any paper.

is kinda religious nuts who think they are making something

meaningful by burning a stupid paper

[rumpole33]

@tradernorton05: some ppl use the term 'political correctness' in such a way as to protest their wants to display no common decency.

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

Does this fool stand for anything other than the very rich?

[cstrosser]

@MISSBEBEBLUE I typically don't say things like this, but Boehner's an idiot, and needs to be fired. Boehner only has a backbone when it comes to protecting the interests of the rich. He stands up when tax cuts to the RICHEST Americans are threatened - tax cuts that were never asked for nor were they needed. These tax cuts are not paid for and cannot be paid for, except by borrowing money from China, or dipping into my grandparents' social security checks. Ridiculous.

[kaysandesses]

@MISSBEBEBLUE Yes, he stands for the rights of tanning bed salon owners everywhere.

[inmyforties]

that's how obama would hedge it too... except he'd do it over the course of two days after being berated by fox news over the first part he utters

[milkmantx]

wanna really get a plane crashed into your house???? this is how you do it.....burn the koran. f-n retards!!!

[OhioDemocrat]

Talk about indecisive, Boehner

it!
