A conservative Florida organization's opposition to the reality show "All-American Muslim" has stirred up a storm of controversy that's got Lowe's, a Muslim rights group, travel website Kayak, actor Kal Penn, and the hacktivist group Anonymous all choosing sides.

Tuesday, the Tampa-based [organization] told the St. Petersburg Times that its website was hacked by a member of Anonymous. [Its] executive director David Caton said the attack shut down [their] site, leaving a message saying that the site destroys free speech. (The site is back online.)

"In a country that supposedly embraces free speech, those that oppose our position have no qualms about destroying our free speech," Caton said. "This is the worst I've seen any group respond."

"In a country that supposedly embraces free speech, those that oppose our position have no qualms about destroying our free speech," Caton said. "This is the worst I've seen any group respond."

irony, self-delusion, hypocrisy, thy name is Christian fundamentalism.

also, if this is the worst you've seen, good, but pray it doesn't get worse. you know, like radical Islamists coming to blow your asses up, since you think that they don't believe in freedom of speech, and that that's what you think they all do.

and yes, i edited the organization's name and anagram from the seeded excerpt because i refuse to provide them any additional publicity and recognition -- which like Qur'an-burning Terry Jones from the same area, is probably their actual interest.

Why do conservatives always want to hurt or restrict something?
