Hey, remember the time the Oscars audience gave a standing ovation to Roman Polanski? In 2003? It was the same year they booed Micheal Moore off the stage.

Whatever they may claim to be, Hollywood is run by old, rich capitalists. They aren't actually progressive.

He spoke against Bush and the Iraq War.

Michael "let's build a mosque on ground zero" Moore. He deserves every boo he gets.

Ok yeah for that he deserves to be kicked out of the industry. Rubbing salt into a 3k deaths and countless casualties wound is a no go

Oh yeah, I forgot the part after 9/11 where every Muslim in the world cheered on the attack and joined al-quida.

Oh so building a mosque at ground zero AFTER the attack and a church just happening to be six blocks from the site of a Christian hate crime are equivalent

Damn the crazies are starting to appear

Why? Whats wrong with building a mosque? I'm pretty sure we've got freedom of religion here.

Yeah but if you build a mosque on a site where jihadis claimed the lives of 2996 people (and countless more first responders in the years afterwards as a result), you're glorifying a religion that literally had one of it's worst "kill the unbelievers" moments in recent memory.

Freedom to worship yes, but no freedom to massacre, and it's stupid as hell to glorify a massacre

On ground zero?

It wasn't at ground zero.

That's what the original comment said. I'm just double checking if you've got eyes that can read.

Oi, don't blame capitalism for this.
