THX,

You don't understand the double standard. When Progressives do it, it is good. When Conservatives do it, it is bad.

Of course, Dan Rather went a bit too far, didn't he ;)

:D

MSNBC anchor Norah O'Donnell fretted last Tuesday that Giles' and O'Keefe's methods "might be viewed as entrapment."

O'Donnell apparently has forgotten the inglorious history of news "entrapment" by her betters at NBC News.

This is the network that surreptitiously rigged GM pickup trucks in staged crash tests in 1993 to show that the vehicles were unsafe -- and failed to inform viewers that the simulations used incendiary devices to ignite the explosions.

This is the network that pioneered the "To Catch a Predator" series -- an investigative sting operation to nab Internet pedophiles. Until last year, the journalists worked with activist group Perverted Justice, whose members posed as children in Web chat rooms to lure alleged pedophiles to a residential home.

This is the network that tried to arrange Islamophobia stings at NASCAR events in 2006 to try to "expose" racism among Southerners..

Interesting points, really.

another adjective that comes to mind when describing these points is "valid"...

Yeah, those darned socialists should have never hijacked it.

Progress can be a wonderful thing. In fact, I'd like to see America progress away from big Federal government.

:D

The points are valid. But both sides are guilty. There aren't levels of right, they're both in the wrong.

I wouldn't have called planting Muslims at Nascar events entrapment though. If the people react to them, then they've proven the point.

I don't know. There is something to the motive in such a case, to me anyway. That person (the Muslim in question), isn't there to enjoy his or her self, to soak up the entertainment, to make friends or even have a passable day amongst strangers. Their sole reason for being their is in pursuit of a negative outcome and that throws everything into question.
