'Nazi' Pelosi: Investigate Opposition to 9/11 Mosque
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 | Kristinn
Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 10:21:10 PM by kristinn
Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) today called for an investigation of those opposing the mosque being planned for construction a block away from the site of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on New York City that toppled the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center complex in lower Manhatten and killed nearly 3000 people.
Speaking to reporters in San Francisco, Pelosi at first deferred to New Yorkers on the mosque, calling it an "urban development question" for them to decide.
"I think everybody respects the right of people in our country to express their religious beliefs on their property. The decision though as to how to go forward in New York is up to New York," Pelosi said.
Pelosi reiterated that New Yorkers should decide in response to a follow-up question about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) differing with President Barack Obama on the construction of the mosque, but then launched into a brief tirade against being questioned on the mosque and demanded an investigation be made into the opposition to the mosque.
"There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded. How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we've been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City," hissed Pelosi.
Audio of Pelosi's comments was posted by KCBS-AM-FM which ignored Pelosi's call to investigate the opposition to the mosque in its summary of her remarks--likewise for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Oh good, I feel much better about this now. I have been concerned about this mosque but with Pelosi on the ball I think e can all sit back, take a deep breathe and relax. ::)
-
She ran out of things to screw up in CA, so now she's coming to your town, 3.
-
Ah yes. The standard liberal response to opposition: silence them.
-
What a self-serving, egotistical and despicable c*nt. Investigate the opposition? How about we investigate the fucking Islamist leading this project. You know, the guy who is against interfaith dialogue, who won't denounce terrorism and who has said that he wants Sharia Law in this country.
This woman disgusts me.
-
And the far left tries to paint itself as the paragons of debate, dialogue, tolerance, etc. ::) ::)

There are voices on both sides of the aisle who emply this worthless technique:
New McCarthyism: Bachmann calls for investigation of ‘anti-American’ Congress members
Rep. Michele Bachmann called on the media to investigate anti-American sentiment in Congress, after slamming Barack Obama as “anti-American.” The accusations by Bachmann spurred massive fundraising for her opponent and the creation of a movement to urge Congress to censure Bachmann.
On MSNBC, she said, “What I would say is that the news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would. I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America? I think the American people would love to see an expose like that.”

There is a big difference between a formal congressional investigation and one initiated by the media.

Could it be, they're both screwed up nutjobs?
Survey says YES!

Ha,ha,ha leave it to 240 to try to compare.Hey we had Nepolitano wanting to investigate conservatives and returning troops,we had Maxine Waters who wanted to investigate tea party people.Please,this is a tactic of the left.
-
Pelosi and the rest of her unattractive shrivled up ilk attempted the same hatchet job on the Tea Party folks when it became apparent that they were not going away. Rachel "Charlie Chaplin" Maddow used her show as a forum to try and discredit the Tea Parties as funded by "Right Wing Corporations", along with Dick Cheney and anyone else she could manufacture. That tactic clearly bombed.
Here we have Slimer Pelosi trying the same tired and frustrated tactic yet again. Now she really feels like a jack ass because Reid broke party ranks, and Obama/ the Democratic Party brand is falling like a brick. So now what? Let's call for another unsanctioned media witch hunt into the racist GOP boogeymen who are trying to prevent good, hardworking, terrorist supporting, fundamentalist Muslims from building a Mosque next to ground zero! That will show them!

Maybe she will investigate Reid for being against it and find out who is funding his opposition?

If the Dems keep this up, november is going to make 1994 look like nothing by comparison.
Billy check this out.

Calls to investigate the funding for those proposing the $100 million “Cordoba House” have fallen on deaf ears, though, as New York’s Mayor Mike Bloomberg has described such an investigation as “un-American.”
I wonder if Bloomberg will be denouncing Pelosi as un-American any time soon? Doubt it.

I wouldn't call her a failure. I mean, there is a group of ppl, maybe 15% of the population, who agree with her. You can't discount their wishes.

Wait a minute, you mean the wishes of people matter? Since a small portion agrees with her, their wishes matter? If that's the case then why don't the wishes of those who oppose the NY mosque matter? "Wishes" only matter if you're in a minority?

US spending $16,000 for imam's Mideast tour

WASHINGTON — American taxpayers will pay the imam behind plans for a mosque near the Manhattan site of the Sept. 11 attacks $3,000 in fees for a three-nation outreach trip to the Middle East that will cost roughly $16,000, the State Department said Wednesday.
The department said Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf will get a daily $200 honorarium for the 15-day tour to Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, which is intended to promote religious tolerance.
Airfare is included, as well as the standard federal government per diem for expenses and lodging in each of the cities he will visit, spokesman P.J. Crowley said. Those per diem rates range from nearly $400 to nearly $500, according to official documents.
The imam's organization, The Cordoba Initiative, referred questions on the matter to the State Department.
Rauf starts his tour Thursday in Bahrain and ends it in the United Arab Emirates Sept. 2. At each stop he is expected to discuss Muslim life in America and promote religious tolerance. He will not be allowed to raise funds for the mosque on the trip, Crowley said.
"We have had conversations with the imam to make sure he understands that during these kinds of trips, he's not to engage in any personal business," Crowley told reporters. "He understands that completely."
"We value his participation as a religious figure here in the United States who can help people overseas understand the role that religion plays in our society," he said.
Story continues below
Rauf's tour has drawn attention because of his plans to build an Islamic center in lower Manhattan near ground zero. Foes of the project say it is insensitive and disrespectful to the victims of 9/11 and their families. The debate has become politicized ahead of November's midterm congressional elections.
Crowley said this will be Rauf's fourth U.S.-government sponsored trip under a program run by the State Department's Bureau of International Information Programs. Earlier, the State Department had said it was his third trip.
Crowley said Rauf had traveled twice to the Middle East in 2007 during the Bush administration and once earlier this year.
On his upcoming trip, Rauf will be in Manama, Bahrain, from Thursday until Monday; Doha, Qatar, from Aug. 24 to Aug. 27 and in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates from Aug. 28 to Sept. 2.
The published maximum per diem rate for U.S. government employees in Manama is $396, in Doha it is $341, and in Abu Dhabi it is $496.

Yeah I know, we live in a world now where insanity is deemed what makes sense, a world where 1+1 is somehow 3 and more importantly, we live in a world where tolerance is for some reason deemed more important than common sense.
I'm still waiting for the day when the president says "the rest of the world is upset with us, we should all be ashamed, everyone grab your gun and shoot yourself in the head." Followed by an uproarious applause from the "Tolerant Nation."

Well . . . part of that scenario has already played out with the president running around the world kissing everyone's rear end.

True but he didn't just kiss it, he licked every inch, took a fart in the face and said "Thank you sir, may I have another?"

BB - Bob is a NY'er like me, and I'm telling you, if obama and pelosi keep it up, they are fomenting a rebellion. People are utterly pissed off and Bob captures the mood of the public.

Yeah. She needs to go. Obama needs to go. At a minimum, they need to be reigned in.

Still his best one ever.

Honestly, I don't think so.
You see the passion side of things because you're suddenly the party being wronged by the govt.
But think back to the left causes of the last 8 years during Bush. Marches of thousands of people... marching against the war in iraq, etc. Hell, I've seen 911 truth rallies with more people than are attending the tea party events. Didn't the tea party just cancel their huge planned convention in las vegas, then they gave the palin-style list of 10 reasons why they were cancelling 2 weeks before the event? how many attendees already had their plane tickets?
as much as I admire your passion 33, I think if ppl didn't "uprise" during the iraq war, a shit economy, $4 gallon gas, and all of Bush's other bullshit, I highly doubt they're gonna get all rowdy over something like a mosque in NYC.
-

Yeah, good one. I know a lot of people who are upset, but they express it in different ways. But there should be a pretty loud message in a few months.
-

240 meant to say:
"I have attended 9/11 Truth rallies with more protesters than the tea partres"

Probably. And this is the same guy whining about "distractions"?

hahaha nope. never seen one round here. but they have loose change screenings in lots of cities, and a lot of people show up. And haven't you seen the packs of them at other rallies, holding their signs, etc.
of course, with their FOX sponsored nature, the tea party numbers have been way higher than any 911 rally. But at times, there are more ppl at NYC theaters to listen to Stephen jones speak, than there are at some TP rallies.

No comment on this, 33?
Why do you think people would rally and uprise today, when they're not even marching over obama's shit?

The KSM Trials, the mosque, the economyin the toilet, the patronizing garbage, the obamacare taxes, etc.
This is different since it feels more like an assault on the city, not a foreign war people want ended.
240 - I live here, im telling you, i have rarely seen people so pissed off, even people who voted for obama and are dems.

Exactly!
This is different, very different. Things like protesting the war, be the war good or bad, just or unjust, we will always have detractors to war, even the most necessary ones. Same goes for the basic day in and day out policies of Washington, be they Democrats or Republicans, there will always be people who disagree, who protest, who are upset and that's good, that's one of the many things that sets America apart, our freedom to voice and disagree, but again, this is very different.
The Obama White House has gone beyond simple policy, they have held to their word of "Transformation" and they intend to transform this country into something that never again resembles what it was...is it not obvious?
The mosque, yes we are hero's of tolerance, we grant freedom and tolerance like no place on earth but we do not grant this to our enemies.
Like it or not the truth remains the same, it is set in stone...Islam is our enemy. It is that simple.
Look at is this way, we go to war with England in the year 2050. Some Americans do not support the war, some Brits do not support the war on their side but we are still at war, the Brits are still our enemy and we are theirs. Sorry, that's how grown up life works, real life is not a peaceful pot smoking party, real life is hard, there are enemies, people who hate you even if you don't hate them.
Again, Islam is our enemy!!! And Social Justice Washington is a bullet in their arsenal.

Bob's latest clip on Pelosi is really making the rounds. His facebook page is exploding with comments as is the youtube message board.

actually I see thru much of obama's BS.
I just challenge the belief that ppl are an inch from rioting. if they didn't riot over $4 gas, 911 fishiness, WMD lies, or the iraq war, or the tillman mess, etc... I don't see them rioting over the mosque issue.
it's just another issue of the week. last week was sherrod and naacp. it'll be something else next week. we know how it works by now.
