Thus, my issue comes down to the hypocrisy. Really, my post is no difference than that entire "news" story - basically, complaining for the sake of complaining.

This flyover thing is about the weakest thing you've brought to the table here ever. You can't compare the NYC flyover to a request for a church group event to have one as a "patriotic gesture for our military personnel". Do you realize that a military flyover isn't the same thing as a single jet doing an unannounced flyover in a major city? Besides, this event has been approved for a flyover for the last 42 years. Is that not news? It certainly makes you think that someone might be sticking it to a conservative group.

Good. Criticize me then ask me for a favor?

I don't deny that the subject is ridiculous, but I see this stuff every single day on Fox. At some of the most ludicrous things, I can picture people shaking their heads going "yeah, they're right." The other day one of their guests brought up the Obama-Muslim connection (read: fabrication) again and the host (I forget which one it was now) started agreeing with them.
