For those who think all the Anti-Muslim rhetoric surrounding the WTC Mosque doesn't have any repercussions....

Posted: 8/25/10 at 2:47pmGet out of my head, Reg . . . just about to post the same thing. Verbatim.

Posted: 8/25/10 at 2:52pmThere are folks with blood on their hands who will never be prosecuted. I'm talking about the talking heads, primarily on Fox 'News', as well as the politicians who are stoking these irrational fears as a means to an end. The recent protests have shown that this has virtually nothing to do with sensitivity to victims' families, and everything to do with outright bigotry.

"a 21-year-old filmmaker from upstate New York. Enright -- who shoots video for a New York-based peace group that counts Cordoba Initiative as one of its partners . . ."
What the what?!

"Mr. Enright is a volunteer with Intersections International, a nonprofit that works to promote cross-cultural understanding and has spoken out in favor of the proposed Islamic cultural center near ground zero."
What is going on?!

Very.
I saw him on TV last night and he looked like Casper Milquetoast. They did say he was drunk out of his mind, but it doesn't excuse such a horrific act.
I agree this is probably just the beginning. Conservative radio and Fox News just fan the flames.

Posted: 8/26/10 at 9:37amThis is proof, further proof, that bigotry is under the surface in the most unlikely of places. His mask came off while drunk...happens all the time.

I completely agree with that.
One of my best friend's best friend is rather prominent in certain circles and I was very excited to meet him when the opportunity arose. However, as the night wore on and more and more alcohol went in (him), his whole personality changed and his words and attitude got very ugly and mean-spirited.
Made me wonder which was the real person...the sober one or the drunk one. Much like this Enright person.

"In another brazen anti-Muslim incident, a man wandered into a mosque in Queens Wednesday night, shouting racial slurs and urinating all over prayer rugs."

Posted: 8/26/10 at 12:35pmMichael Enright will be a hero to the Republicans/Tea Party Terrorists. I bet his legal bills are paid for by rich conservatives and he gets his own show on Fox. He'll be headlining Glen Beck hate rallies along side Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman before long. He has become the right wing's overnight rock star!

Posted: 8/26/10 at 6:49pmI do wonder if the Enright thing might have to do with PTSD. It's very strange.
