New MOAB?

While it is hard to say if acts of vandalism against followers of Islam that can easily be perceived as hate speech are on the increase, they are getting more attention.
From bacon spelling "Pig" outside a Mosque, to a pig's head thrown amidst worshipers; stories of actions against Moslems are getting more attention.
I won't condone acts that are just outright offensive and hateful, but I can see why people need to vent their frustrations and one way is to imagine methods of outraging those that support outrageous acts.
In one case, a proposal for a "prank" was to build a MOAB (Mother Of All Bacon) bomb that would "harmlessly" spray pork fat all over the ground zero mosque location in order to defile it into uselessness.
I would laugh at the proposition but not at any intention to actually carry out the act, which would be way beyond "Prank".

One more actor to not watch

I liked John Cusack.
His characters were entertaining and witty.
I never knew what his politics were.
Now I know.
He is calling for the death of Fox News and Conservative figures in a way that may provoke mentally unstable fans to commit violent acts.
He is doing exactly the type of thing the left accuses the right of doing.
What a useless tool!

Helen Thomas to be honored for hatespeech?

The Arab American National museum is trying to find funding to create a statue to honor Helen Thomas.
Thomas famously lost her job as the most desiccated White House correspondent over a video showing her making unacceptable statements about Israel.
She has long been known as anti Israel but her recent rant has made it very difficult for the statue backers to achieve the $30K goal they have set.
In a Twilight Zone twist, a Jewish group has given the project support.
The Jewish Community Relations Council of Metropolitan Detroit has voiced support with the caveat of 'hoping' that the effort is despite her recent statements instead of because of them.

Seriously, Helen Thomas is a walking talking gargoyle and they just need to bronze her when she assumes room temperature.
