Welcome to MY world

Land of the Free

Not a lot of inventiveness in the slogans!

At an all-white anti-mosque rally this week, a New York City resident passing by who happened to be black, and not a Muslim, wore the wrong hat — and was harassed and quite nearly assaulted by an assortment of "dumb motherf***ers." This is America, folks. In America you have the right to be a dumbmotherf***er. And I support that, no matter how dumb you are or you strive to be.

Seems there are still a load of Village People stereotypes on the streets of New York.

Comments:
It appeared that the rally was a mix of pro-mosque and anti-mosque (at the WTC site, at least) people, yet it is billed as an anti-Muslim rally. Typical of the press.

One who opposes free, unfettered immigration is quickly painted as an anti-Hispanic bigot. One who opposes this particular mosque is immediately an anti-Muslim bigot.

It reminds me of a quote from a wise old Greek: "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser."

That being said, that area of the crowd surely was not a good advertisement for the U.S. We do have a fair share of Neanderthals wandering around.
