Here is where the so called "MODERATE IMAM" said USA is worse than al-qaeda

Here is where the "HOLY IMAM" said USA is responsible for 9-11

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The liberal media once again covers up the truth about this so called moderate imam. 

 

Glenn Beck has also called America an accessory to 9/11.  He has also called Imam Rauf a "good muslim".  Why is no one investigating Glenn Beck?

Because everyone already thinks Glenn Beck is insane?

A snake oil salesman, absolutely.  Insane, unfortunately not.

Oh are you talking about that drama queen Kieth Olbermann

Now he is insane with his "You sir are worse than the KKK"

Or, "You Sir are worse than the Nazi's"   Insane runs both ways  but I guess your tires are stuck in the liberal ditch.

I don't particularly want to get into the idiocy of either commentator.  I was merely trying to point out that many of these right-wing talking points used to denigrate this imam are identical to the positions taken by right-wing commentators.  While I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to find hypocrisy on the left, I don't think that is central to this debate.  I just find it hard to believe that an imam who was used by the Bush government to build bridges between the government and  the Muslim community is being called extremist by the fringe, especially given that the supposedly extremist sentiments he espouses have been echoed by Glenn Beck, whom I think we can all agree is passionate about promoting American values.  While I might disagree with his politics, I certainly appreciate the passion that he brings to issues.  This brings me back to my central concern: why is it that Glenn Beck can call America's foreign policies a causative agent behind 9/11, but an imam can not suggest the same thing without being demonized?  

Calling Keith Olbermann a drama queen, no matter how accurate, does nothing to answer my question.
