Hour 1 : Who Is The Biggot?

So National Prayer day is a-coming, and Franklin Graham, son of the famous minister Billy Graham, was scheduled to speak at the pentagon and lead a prayer.  However, he has now been un-invited, since there was some outcry due to things he said about islam just after 9/11, wherein he called the religion Evil.  He has since said he loves the people of islam, but finds their religion violent and their treatment of women horrid.  So now he's not allowed to come pray at the Pentagon.  Who is the biggot here?  Is it Graham for saying what he did, or is it the people at the Pentagon and the Religious Freedom group that spoke against Franklin?

Hour 2: South Park Update

We spoke Wednesday about the episode of South Park featuring Mohammed that has earned the show's creative team death threats, despite Muhammed being censored.  Well this week part 2 of the episode aired, and the network took it one step farther, deciding to Bleep the name Mohammed every time it was said.  Comedy Central also bleeped a 30 second moral at the end, just a 30 second bleep.  So was this a victory for the terrorists?  Was this intimidation and evil winning the day?  Or is this just a network worried about its people and its image, covering its own butt?

Hour 3: Families or Banks?

Nancy Pelosi yesterday said the choice for people is this - Are you on the side of the American Families, or are you on the side of the big banks?  Because, she says, Democrats are for families and Republicans are for banks.  So is that the choice?  Does this financial debate come down once again to not only an us-or-them mentallity, but a Democrat = GOOD, Republican = EVIL one.  So is that how it is?  Democrats are for families, Republicans are for evil money-grubbing banks, and which side are you on?

What do you think about all this?  Let us know by calling 1-888-630-WMAL (that's 888-630-9625 for you Blackberry users.  How do you function with no letters on your buttons?)
