CNN: 2 Muslims travel 13,000 miles across America, find an embracing nation. “Ali and Tariq were embraced nearly everywhere they went, from a Confederate souvenir shop in Georgia to the streets of Las Vegas, Nevada, to the hills of North Dakota where the nation’s first mosque was built in 1929.”

Many media outlets (the usual suspects of the TV networks and NPR) have been working overtime to craft the narrative of America rejecting Muslims, and anti-Muslim sentiment rising, etc., etc. The MSM coverage of the President’s press conference should qualify as a campaign contribution. The MSM is trying to get the Dems back into the game. The MSM is almost wholly responsible for the Gainesville minister’s Koran burning becoming any kind of story. What a puny story this should be when anti-semitic crimes are never reported. This reverend in Florida is a complete nobody. The MSM whips up the liberal pundits into a frenzy, so they can execute their highly practiced indignation of how horrible America is. How pathetic and small they have become. The Democratic powerhouse machine from 2008 has been reduced to sending more cameras to cover the whack-job reverend than that church has members. All in the service to revive a comatose presidency.

Good luck with that.
