ABCNews.com Misrepresents Coulter's Views on Jews NewsBusters.org:
There is the point, that while her language was lacking, it falls short of being hate speech. She was not wishing people to die, or to go to hell, it could be argued that she believed she was wishing for them to live and go to heaven. I am not a Christian, so it is hard to defend her on this issue. I don't think what she said was right, but it clearly isn't hate speech to me.
"Yet in context, it's quite logical to conclude Coulter means that, as a
Christian, she would like everyone to embrace Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior,
hence securing them eternal life in Heaven. Grounded in historical Christian
teaching, her desire for all to believe in Jesus (and hence be Christians) is
not a racist or genocidal point-of-view, but a loving, religious one, however
awkwardly stated it may have been in her recent interview. "

The Leftroots' Frightening Vision for America NewsBusters.org:
I don't believe that multiple small new sources are any more responsive, diverse in the way that they want, or progressive. Look at the blogs on the internet, there is a wide range of ideas out there, but that isn't the diversity that they are talking about. They are talking about a diversity that means less diverse ideas.
"Reversing Corporate Media Consolidation. Using improved ownership
regulation of American media to help destabilize the impact of the Republican
Noise Machine, and create a more diverse, responsive national media, is another
key progressive feedback loop."

News Hounds: Charles Krauthammer: We Will Take Action Against Iran This Spring:
I really hope this isn't the case.
"During the All-Star Panel discussion on the October 8, 2007 edition of
Special Report with Brit Hume, neocon Charles Krauthammer indicated that he
believes we will take military action against Iran next spring. Wasn't it just
last week that Brit Hume was feigning incredulity during a segment about the
'far left bloggers' who 'seemed to think' that the Bush administration wanted a
war with Iran? My, my. What a difference a week makes. "
I really hope this isn't the case.

This is a follow up on what I posted earlier, with this more information it does change the situation a little. I am still inclined to allow it, but that is my nature to allow more than I forbid. Not all Muslims are terrorists, not all Muslims attacked us on 9/11.
"New York’s iconic Empire State Building is to be lit up green from Friday
in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid, the biggest festival in the Muslim
calendar marking the end of Ramadan, officials said. “This is the first time
that the Empire State Building will be illuminated for Eid, and the lighting
will become an annual event in the same tradition of the yearly lightings for
Christmas and Hannukah,” according to a statement."
