Terry Jones says he wants the Hyundai a New Jersey car dealer promised him for not burning the Islamic holy book, but says it's not for him.
Tensions flared Thursday on 'The View," when Bill O'Reilly's comments about Muslims prompted Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to briefly walk off the set.
Evangelical leaders who talked Jones out of his plan describe the behind-the-scenes efforts.
Conservative "values" voters got some red meat Saturday from Newt Gingrich who warned that a "secular socialist machine" led by President Obama is bent on fundamentally changing the country.
Martin Peretz is chastened, at least halfway, by criticism of his remarks from a New York Times columnist. "When I insist upon a sober recognition of the threats to our security, domestic threats included," Peretz wrote, "I do not mean to suggest that the Constitution and its order of rights should in any way be abrogated."
The former speaker says the president is channeling his late Kenyan father's socialism, and is "authentically dishonest" and "factually insane." He adds: "This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president."
Terry Jones says his threats succeeded in exposing "radical elements" in Islam, and he still hopes to get the so-called Ground Zero mosque moved.

On the Cape Central High School website, a classmate at the Cape Girardeau, Mo., school recalls: "I knew him the early 70s. He graduated from Central (I think) in 69. He was a funny, friendly guy back then, when he was dating my friend, Lisa. My how the years change some people. Every picture I've seen of him, he's wearing an intense scowl."
The Florida preacher flip-flopped Thursday, first calling off his plans to burn Korans on Saturday, then later saying he hadn't made up his mind.
