Uh huh. He's workin' it.
This is all about him being in the spotlight, Arella Mae. Or I should say, staying in the spotlight.
When a poster with extraordinary knowledge, calls other posters names, all that impressive knowledge is demeaned and his or her credibility is, rightly, questioned, even when the poster's knowledge is valid.
This holds true even when that poster is loved, very deeply, by another poster.
@Arella Mae,
On another thread, a poster criticized Obama for saying the pastor should call off the burning. The poster said it was none of Obama's business. Wait! A general came out against the book burning, warning that it would endanger American fighting forces and then the Commander-in-Chief followed up and it was none of his business? Furthermore, the last time I checked, FL was still a state. The pastor in question is a citizen.

None of his business?
He (& others in his administration) had to take precious time out from important business (like the state of the US economy & dealing with deeply offended nations) to deal with the dangerous rantings of some deranged crank in Florida.
will Jones actually go to NYC? I'm thinking not, I'm thinking he is/has already lost his media coverage and going to NYC will not bring it back (just another nut-job in NYC) He needs to re-activate an audience/media to bring in the $ he needs. He needs, really needs, something dramatic to keep the attention on himself. I'm thinking of speaker's corner in London Hyde Park, entertaining for 15 minutes and then it's off to Harrods for shopping.
@Arella Mae,
But what about those hundreds of people from all over the world who have made travel arrangements to come to the bonfire?
@JPB,
Airfares are usually non - refundable these days. Same economic stimulas as if they came, and less air pollution and fuel consumption. Shouldn't be any problem.
i haven't had time to go out and get a Quran, i do have a copy of Alan Dean Foster's Sci-Fi romp Quozl soaking in some gasoline, just in case this thing still goes ahead

he's asking for donations "to buy more Korans to burn" and selling his book.
The Kansas City Star reported that Topeka's infamous Westboro Baptist Church announced yesterday that it plans to burn both the Quran and an American flag on Sept. 11, though the exact time and location haven't been determined, a church spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper said. Phelps-Roper said they don't think that Pastor Terry Jones will carry out the burning so they will do so in his place.
@djjd62,
