Limbaugh sarcastically suggests that we build a Hindu Temple next to Pearl Harbor and a Mosque next to the Pentagon... without realizing that Shinto, not Hinduism, is the most common religion in Japan, and there is already a Mosque inside the Pentagon and a Shinto temple next to Pearl Harbor.

Jon Stewart puts Glenn Beck in his place for decrying statements by Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf (proponent of the "Ground Zero Mosque") about 9/11 by playing a video of Beck making the same statements just a few months ago

A much-needed voice. Thanks to everyone to helped put Al Franken in the US Senate.

Fuck you, Harry Reid. What a cowardly, embarrassing thing to cave to Republicans on.

"Because 42,196 Americans were killed in traffic accidents in 2001,I cannot support the building of roads or driving of cars near Ground Zero"
