Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Oliver Willis: AP fact check debunks conservative media distortions on Islamic community center<\/a> – Yes, well … it’s not like “facts” will have any impact on this debate.<\/li>\n
  2. Eric Boehlert: Brent Bozell’s embarrassingly predictable “censorship” flip-flop<\/a> – 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.<\/li>\n
  3. Eric Schroeck: News Corp. double standard: Saudi funding OK for them but not for Park51<\/a> – “We report, you deride.”<\/li>\n
  4. Media: Maybe Obama Should Go To Church More Publicly So People Know He\u2019s Christian<\/a> – 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.)<\/li>\n
  5. Blackwater\u2019s Erik Prince Moves to Abu Dhabi – NYTimes.com<\/a> – A true American patriot. I’m sure all those government contract dollars he earned will ease his passage.<\/li>\n
  6. Defeat the Right in Three Minutes | Conceptual Guerilla<\/a> – “Cheap-labor Conservative.” I like it.<\/li>\n
  7. Lennard Davis: If You Are Against the Mosque, You Are Anti-American<\/a> – “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.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
