Why Do We Hate Muslims?

Well, we don't actually, but pollsters tell us we do, and in numbers greater now than during even the immediate aftermath of 9/11. So why is this so?

I'll tell you why. (This'll be a long sentence, so get ready.) After a month or more of the leftist media and leftist elites, both in and out of government, lecturing us with that unmistakable air of moral and intellectual superiority about how we're all bigots because we oppose the proposal to build a mosque too near Ground Zero, and how we're all bigots if we didn't both notice and publicly oppose some Florida pastor we've never heard of, from some church with a membership too small to count, who planned to burn a copy of the Koran in response to the innumerable atrocities committed against us in the name of the religion it instructs, then when some pollster asks us whether or not we have a problem with Muslims we first think, "How dare you pompous SOBs tell us what we can and can't think. This is America, ain't it?" and then we say, without embarrassment and just a touch of challenge, "Yea, I've got a problem with Muslims. What of it?"

Ah, Americans! I lov'em.
