k: TWU people are thugs. They broke the law. Saying that aloud is fine. Racist hate-speech like jews are controlling the world or blacks are subhuman is a bit different story. sp: Isn't that pretty much what Micheal Moore, Cindy Sheegan and all those far-left wackos always say?

deng - my point was that if the imam if going to get suspended for ANY of what he said - whether it had to do with race or saying the bush admin is chock full of terrorists - than the mayor should be held to the same standards. And calling a bunch of city employees thugs when the mayor, unlike the imam, was definitely doing city business, is messed up.

TWU is not a race (thugs is surely a right word for people who break the law and carry out illegal actions). This chaplain talked about "jews controlling the media" and other typical Hamas/Al-Qaida/Far-left BS.

But it's okay for Bloomberg to call the TWU thugs during the strike? I'm pretty sure he was representing the city when he said that, yeah?
