crazy personn does crazy thing in public is something that goes in a medical record or a police report or a poem. about existential angst. it's not news. what's different now? the reason nobody paid attention to crazy fred phelps koran burning antics and almost everyone is paying attention to the koran burning antics of this equally crazy florida guy is because today the sentiment behind i'm a crazy guy who is going to burn me some korans on 9/11 is being carried into the mainstream by a current of extreme anti-muslim we're at war with islam rhetoric. you really want to know why we're all suddenly paying attention to one lunatic in florida who is threatening to burn copies of the koran? this is why. >> many of our elites are afraid to evrn identify our adversaries by name. >> what we used to call the war on terror we are clearly losing. >> the war on terror and the ideology behind it have only just begun.
