Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Oliver Willis: AP fact check debunks conservative media distortions on Islamic community center – Yes, well … it’s not like “facts” will have any impact on this debate.
- Eric Boehlert: Brent Bozell’s embarrassingly predictable “censorship” flip-flop – Y’know, it’s not so much the positions they take that are so irksome, but that they are so freaking hypocritical about them when it’s to their advantage.
- Eric Schroeck: News Corp. double standard: Saudi funding OK for them but not for Park51 – “We report, you deride.”
- Media: Maybe Obama Should Go To Church More Publicly So People Know He’s Christian – And, of course, Jesus taught explicitly about making a big public spectacle about your churchgoing and prayer. But, of course, He wasn’t talking about that MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE. (Yeesh.)
- Blackwater’s Erik Prince Moves to Abu Dhabi – NYTimes.com – A true American patriot. I’m sure all those government contract dollars he earned will ease his passage.
- Defeat the Right in Three Minutes | Conceptual Guerilla – “Cheap-labor Conservative.” I like it.
- Lennard Davis: If You Are Against the Mosque, You Are Anti-American – “If Ground Zero is a hallowed site, then we must allow all religions to pay their respects there. Can the Republicans and the Tea Party members really be saying that Ground Zero is a hallowed Christian site? If so, they are forgetting the many religions were practiced by those who died on 9/11. Muslims, along with Jews, Hindus and others were among the dead in the building and among the rescuers who gave their lives.”
