rushmc 23 #76 September 1, 2010 Quote>I am sure billvon and others would support the KKK building >something on the site where MLK was killed too The KKK's not a religion. But if a Baptist parish wanted to renovate its church two and a half blocks from where MLK was killed, and there were a lot of KKK members in the church, then yes, the situation would be similar - and they should have the same right to renovate their church as this group has to renovate the building on Park Street. You are correct The KKK is not a religion, it is a belief. that is what we are dealing with here"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

rushmc 23 #77 September 1, 2010 Quote Quote Given all I have read about this here, I am sure billvon and others would support the KKK building something on the site where MLK was killed too So you think it is ok to lump the KKK and Muslims into the same category? A better analogy would be to say that we would have a problem with Al Queda building a building at ground zero. It was Al Queda not all Muslims that flew the planes into the WTC was it not? If you wanted a fair comparison you could say that we would have a problem with a church being built where MLK was shot but that wouldn't fit into your lie because you know nobody would have a problem with it. There is about as much connection between Al Queda and the general Muslim population as there is between the KKK and Christians. So you think that is what I think?

billvon 3,114 #78 September 1, 2010 >The KKK is not a religion, it is a belief. Well, no, the KKK is a right wing political and religious organization. They have every right to believe whatever they choose about blacks, muslims, nationalism and white supremacy. They can belong to any religion they choose, although they currently define themselves as Protestant Christian. However, as part of a Protestant church, they can build their churches anywhere anyone else can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, I am sure you could claim they got major support from black Baptist churches at some point, if you dig long and hard enough and do the Rush-twist on the results. But the Republicans had a KKK member running for President of the United States, and every single KKK platform is echoed in the current GOP platform.

billvon 3,114 #100 September 1, 2010 You've been burned pretty badly on this one. I suspect you saw the segment on FOX where Pamela Geller, a right-wing blogger, proposed what you did (i.e. comparing a KKK shrine to a mosque) then reposted it without thinking about it too much.
