Highlights, lowlights, links, and leftover summer business, from the Mere Rhetoric Twitter stream:
Another year, another summer where conservative objections to policy are written off as “hate.” Original!
Do you think Khalidi forwarded his pro-terrorist petition to Obama via email, you know, like friends do? http://is.gd/dCLvy
You know what’s an overblown snoozefest? This. | RT @jtanews: Netanyahu brokers six-month freeze on conversion bill http://bit.ly/aWwY3g
Srsly. What do they know? | RT @DailyCaller: Geithner bored by complaints from biz re Obama policies http://ow.ly/2fBN9
The new TSA Secure Flight website is riddled with grammar mistakes and typos. Confidence-inspiring!
Savages | RT @BreakingNews: Sarkozy confirms that al-Qaida has killed a 78-year-old French hostage kidnapped in Niger http://bit.ly/9TaVaC
RT @sshivell: Taliban analyzing Wikileaks and hunting down informants: http://bit.ly/9X9iS
The horror | RT @itsdgc: British woman charged with indecency for walking through Dubai Mall in a bikini http://bit.ly/bNL5Rq
Surreal dishonesty | RT @RJCHQ: Laura Bush Went On African Safari? Dems pushing this should stop digging. http://is.gd/eat3u
Cf. Ground Zero | RT @yidwithlid: RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE? Zanzibar Muslims Tear Down Church, Build Mosque http://tinyurl.com/3yt5wem
Pro-GZM args getting obnoxiously vapid: socialists hail property rights, ppl with 0 interest in debate emphasize dialogue, etc groundzero
Since Ground Zero Mosque is about 2-way dialogue can left decide what objections are legit for argument and not “omfg so bigoted!!!”
To: Muslims upset re Obama pullback on groundzero mosque: you get used to it – yrs truly, Jews who cheered Obama’s AIPAC J’lem speech
RT @NoahPollak: ECI weighs in on Ground Zero mosque sponsor: Rauf’s Double Standard on Terror. http://bit.ly/9u41aK
If GZM has nothing to do with groundzero how can it be a symbolic bridge between 9/11, Islam, and America? Choose one pretext please
Say what you will, the left is entertaining. Supporting a Muslim groundzero victory dance is patriotic, mocking GM is unpatriotic.
Can I get a verdict on whether groundzero is hallowed ground? Libs say I’m a treacly moron for thinking so, but Obama said it is.
Israel should build huge synagogues across the West Bank, esp in densely packed Palestinian areas. In the name of dialogue
Suggested pro-dialogue West Bank synagogue names: Beth Nakba 1, Beth Nakba 2, Beth Nakba 3…
Pelosi calling for investigation of groundzero opposition – that’ll go a far toward alleviating wingnut hysteria over thuggish left
Weird that @park51 interns didn’t pick up on org’s unambiguous commitment to tolerance, and ended up being snide antisemites instead
If GZM defenders are right that it isn’t a mosque, what exactly is the basis for the “religious freedom” argument?
Who says @Park51 is intolerant? I checked this morning and there wasn’t a single new sneering anti-Jewish tweet from them!
