September 11 2010 at 3:44 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI'm not sure what to think of this. To help me decide, I need to see a list of Mr. Kavanagh's high school graduating class (preferable with background checks already done). I'm also curious as to how far this "guilt by association" meme extends. We know that Barack Obama identifying Rev. Wright as a "mentor" supposedly means nothing... is this significant just because Limbaugh is allegedly connected?

Both Rush & TJones are hateful people but they are probably not typical of the better behaving graduates of Cape Central. At least I hope they are not.

Amazing that I didn't see the similarity in opinions and call this ahead of time. But, if you have ever been to Cape Girardeau you would understand. This was and is part of the South, I think it is further south on a GPS than Lexington, KY.

Here in the 'present' each man is simply true to himself and personal beliefs. An entire class of students attended this same school, each adheres to his own belief, and beliefs grow with a person as they mature through life. Point is, should ANYone burn a copy of the Kuran? Burning really serves no purpose but to further the already volatile situation. There is no legal crime involved here, only an act that provides more purpose to those groups of Muslims who want to destroy us. In short, we are at war, and it IS a religous war. They intend to overwhelm and destroy us in the name of their Allah. If we aggravate, we better be prepared for the retaliation. Same should hold true other way around, but is it????? I am afraid NOT, and I leave it to each of you to decide why.
September 10 2010 at 10:27 AM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down ReplyI find this to be very amusing for one simple reason. Why do some people like Olbermann try to make a connection between Limbaugh and Jones but make a disconnect between Obama and Reverend Wright?
September 10 2010 at 10:14 AM Report abuse Permalink +12 rate up rate down ReplyMr. Jones doesn't realize how portraying himself as a Christian by lowering himself to burn the Koran makes him look no better than an extremist. I remember the Muslim/Islamic countries celebrating when the 9/11 tragedy happened.This is exactly why I am appauled by the idea of building a Mosque anywhere near Ground Zero. Yes, we have "freedom of religion" here in the U.S. but we do not have "freedom of retaliation" and I believe building the Mosque is exactly what may be happening.

Looks like Satan has gotten to them and twisted their thoughts and actions. Readers, please don't judge all Christians, by the actions of the extremist fringe.

If, when he made his first announcement, they'd have said, "this is 'silly,' and we're not gonna report it," that would have been the end of it. He could have burned his Koran "privately," and no one would have cared.
