OUTRAGE OVER PLANS TO BUILD LIBRARY NEXT TO SARAH PALIN

Al Franken calls opposition to mosque near Ground Zero ‘one of the most disgraceful things that I’ve heard.’

I'm sick of the made up corporate media controversies (mosques at ground zero, Obama's-a-Muslim, yada, yada). Please get back to the FACT that Americans are violently occupying Middle Eastern countries, murdering and torturing their people. Oh and by the way the Gulf of Mexico is DEAD.
