The Southern Poverty Law Center has them on their hate watch. Evidently they are rather notorious around Gainesville but haven't gotten much national attention until this.

Laga, I heard it on Daily Show. Freaked. Me. Out! What are we, Nazi's now with the book burning? It freaks me out. We are supposed to be about freedom. Knowledge. Religion. Etc. And to have these folks not only succumbing to the fear mongers, but burning books. Holy book or not, it's burning a book! It will not help us in the international view. We need to build bridges, not burn them!

this made me laugh

So? Is that Ray Bradbury *enjoying* the video? Flabbergasted by the video? Can't tell from one picture.

Witnesses saying enjoying the video. He wrote to her saying he liked it. I'm suspicious about hand placement but pretty sure he would not enjoy himself that much in public.
