TeaBagger Canned for Burning Koran at GZ Hamosque

Glorious News from New York Daily News!



The protester who burned pages from the Koran outside a planned mosque near Ground Zero has been fired from NJTransit, sources and authorities said Tuesday.
Derek Fenton's 11-year career at the agency came to an abrupt halt Monday after photographs of him ripping pages from the Muslim holy book and setting them ablaze appeared in newspapers. Fenton, 39, of Bloomingdale, N.J., burned the book during a protest on the ninth anniversary of Sept. 11 outside Park51, the controversial mosque slated to be built near Ground Zero.

He was apparently inspired by Pastor Terry Jones, the Florida clergyman who threatened to burn the Koran that day but later changed his mind.

NJ Transit said Fenton was fired but wouldn't give specifics.

"Mr. Fenton's public actions violated New Jersey Transit's code of ethics," an agency statement said.
"NJ Transit concluded that Mr. Fenton violated his trust as a state employee and therefore [he] was dismissed."
Fenton was ushered from the protests by police on Saturday and questioned, but he was released without charges.
"He said, 'This is America,' and he wanted to stand up for it, in a Tea Party kind of way," a police source said.
Another police source said Fenton described himself as a "loyal American" exercising his "right to protest."
But the source said Fenton looked like he was having second thoughts as he was released.
"He looked nervous, like he was starting to think it wasn't such a good idea," the police source said.
Described by neighbors as a likable family guy with two children, Fenton was an assistant train-consist coordinator, sources said - a job that entails ensuring there are enough train cars positioned to be put into service. He previously worked as an NJ Transit conductor.
Several neighbors in Fenton's town stood up for his right to express himself with flames.
"Good for him for burning the Koran," neighbor Jacqui Marquez, 40, said.
"Everybody's entitled to their opinion ... by firing him, they're sending a message that there's no freedom of speech. They're completely wrong for doing this."
"He's a family man," neighbor Randy McConnell, 43, said.
"He loves his kids and he loves trains. I don't agree with what he did, but he shouldn't lose his job over it. That's his right."
If Fenton was fired for burning the Koran while off-duty, his First Amendment rights probably were violated, Chris Dunn of the New York Civil Liberties Union said.
"The Supreme Court has recognized a constitutional right to burn the flag. As reprehensible as it may be, burning the Koran would be protected as well."

Let this be a lesson to him! There is only "free speech™" for progressives. All conservatives must pay with their jobs for any deviation from the Socialist Progressive Party agenda!



This may backfire BIG-TIME for NJ Transit, as if this person was off-duty, they have just violated his 1st Admendment rights, and repurcussions eventually can include all back pay, pain and suffering damages, and the exposure and termination of those responsible!
 

Perhaps they will ban him from ever leaving New York and entering the United States.
 

This is a delicate dilemma. I am sure he's is a Union member, and union thugsleaders do not take well to firings of their minions. On the other hand, it's not like he had the right, if not the obligation, to burn an Amerikan flag or Bible, but a glorious Kquran . . Korean . . Koran. This may need to go to the supreme Judiciary, or Eric Holder. Which ever comes first.
 

 

Kudos to our comrades on the left who are importing millions of Muslims to make sure that these unrepentant imperialists will not be able to abuse their alleged right to so-called "free speech" in the future. True freedom is agreement with the Party! It is a pity that our new Muslim comrades are not yet in a position to liquidate these retro-Kulaks and their disgusting concepts of nationhood. Take heart comrades! In a few more years we will know the full joys of Progressive Islam!
 

Mr. Fenton is now realizing that the destruction of only progressive objects of value will receive prosecution and gulag time. Bibles and American flags are not progressive objects of value and are free to be destroyed in any artistic and expressive manner one can employ.
 

A caller on Dennis Millers radio show had an interesting idea. Take a bunch of US flags, and print verses from the Koran around the perimeter of the flag. Then send them to the Mideast, and sit back and watch what happens.
 

Perhaps our dear comrade should have entitled his work "Overthrowing Traditonalist Worker Class Exploiting Value Systems" and thus his act would have been deemed performance art. Thusly a legally protected action. Perhaps even worthy of government funding through the NEA.

If you duct-tape a Bible to a Koran, piss on the Bible and set the pair of books on fire, is it "performance art" in the eyes of the NEA?
 

Perhaps the "burner" was inspired by this violent music video. Where was the thought police when it was uploaded? We urgently need fairness on the Internet to protect people from bad influences.

Fraulein, one shouldn't worry about his union membership. Such an egregious atrocity will of course necessitate his elimination as an unperson. He will never have existed, he will never have been a union member, and -- as an added bonus for the benefit of our Progrerssive Muslim شباب -- he shall never have burned the Koran!

And it is a good thing, too. Next thing you know, one might find him burning pages from Das Kapital! Obama knows if he is not already guilty of this crime as well...I am certain he will confess the truth will come out after he receives the water boarding he so richly deserves.

Oh, and cover youself sister. You must not cause our shabab to stumble!
 

Maybe one of our more astute members of the collective could enlighten me. Why are the "Powers that be" so ready, willing and able to bow down to the Islamists? I mean, whenever something happens or is about to happen that might offend them, it is all we hear about, "We have to let them build their Community Center", you can't practice your 1st Amendment Right to burn the Koran, you can't do anything to offend their more equal sensibilities.

Where were all these pseudo "Freedom of Religion" types when Mappelthorpe was putting a Crucifix in urine, or any of the other so-called artists disparaging Christianity or Judaism. What is it going to take to make these idiots realize that they are doing nothing more that showing weakness, and the people they are trying to placate see this, and are licking their chops, waiting for the chance to strike again.

Just my .02, I for one am getting fed up with this nonsense.

Elementary, my dear Scrutinizer...

We must strive for peace at any price. Which brings us to a more Progressive euphamism for our dictionaries:

"The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism and all in submission to Allah and His Prophet."

Unfortunately, R.E.G. I believe that you are correct, and this is what I find most discouraging.

And may I add, that includes babies!
