House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, called for an investigation of those who are protesting the building of the Ground Zero Mosque on Tuesday. She told San Francisco’s KCBS radio
“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,” she said. “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.”
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.”
Ms. Pelosi called the Ground Zero mosque an “urban development decision” for New Yorkers to work through.
What’s going on? Is the KoolAid being tampered with? Harry Reid better watch out. Let’s face it, Harry doesn’t know which way is up or down lately. The video with Harry opposing Birthright when it was the right thing to do.
Oops, H/T Legal Insurrection

How about “Where’s the money for the mosque development coming from?! “
So far, any requests to divulge funding sources have been denied. Add to that an outright refusal to denounce radical Islam is also sticking in my craw.
I smell a new voting bloc…….

Ya’ think Anthony?
August 18, 2010 at 3:06 pm
I concur with Anthony. If the government would spend any time investigating the funding for the mosque, regular Americans might think they have our interests in mind and there would not be as much outcry against the mosque.
I think the thing that bothers me the most is that, as I understand it, Mosque’s are built on sites of conquest, where as churches are built on sites of mourning.
Tell me, am I wrong about that?
August 18, 2010 at 3:25 pm
The developers behind the Islamic center planned for a site near Ground Zero won’t rule out accepting financing from the Mideast — including from Saudi Arabia and Iran — as they begin searching for $100 million needed to build the project.
August 18, 2010 at 4:10 pm
From my sources: They have exactly $18K available to complete a multi million dollar project and got permits, etc.
Meanwhile, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, destroyed during the 9/11 attacks, is still waiting for permits to rebuild.
I feel a post coming on…….
August 18, 2010 at 7:14 am
Watch out Anthony…now you’re one of the people asking where the money for the mosque is coming from…..Nancy Nixon will have you investigated…I see an IRS audit in your future.
August 18, 2010 at 7:28 am
I get them regularly whenever I post a story that pisses someone off. Been going on since Dubbya, and shows no signs of stopping.
Thanks for the tip, though… I’ll keep it in mind
August 18, 2010 at 9:24 am
I wonder if they will have bunk beds at Camp Redjukation?
August 18, 2010 at 4:11 pm
As far as I’m concerned, they can keep the bunk beds. I’ll sleep on the floor.
All I want is a Vanity Table with a 3-way mirror and decent lighting and I’ll be happy as a little girl
August 19, 2010 at 5:30 am
You know Meechelle will be designing the camp. She has such awesome taste.
August 18, 2010 at 7:49 am
Wow…talk about turning the tables. It is evident nasty nancy has had one botox treatment too many, as it appears to be seeping into her brain and clouding her thought process. Just who the hell does she think she is? It is amazing that she can even ask that question with a straight face!!
“Say What You Will…It Feels So Good”
August 18, 2010 at 8:19 am
Technically she has no choice but to always have a straight face…..technically, LOL!
Anthony I was going to tell imust you’re real familiar with audits, LOL!!
August 18, 2010 at 9:25 am
The Botox has set Psst. Yes, the audacity is amazing.
August 18, 2010 at 8:43 am
First off- what the hell is “Treasure Island?”
I am SOOOO confused. What is she talking about? Who is funding the protests? Huh? What?
Who is funding the allah be damned mosque?
August 18, 2010 at 9:25 am
We can wait til the second coming on that one PMM.
August 18, 2010 at 9:59 pm
she was speaking at an event where Treasure Island (a man made island near San Francisco used in movies) was handed over from the navy who owned it to San Francisco: she meant, why was she being asked about the mosque instead of what they were there to do, ie hand over the island.

Isn’t the way fascism works wonderful? I mean, just look at how the POTUS spews commie rhetoric, which of course is the perfect foil for fascists like Pelosi to ply their trade.
The way the world used to be was that the commies did their thing while the fascists did theirs. The way it works now is that a government requires commie propagandist spokespeople, who are in cahoots with fascists who are running the show.
This dog and pony show is something else, I tell ya. Slick, very slick stuff indeed. Frankly, it reminds me of The Three Stooges – it’s kind of funny, but in the end the joke is on us – for paying attention in the first place…
August 18, 2010 at 9:26 am
I’m paying attention. Breads and circuses. Divide, conquer and keep on working for those that will vote and collect.

Wow. Just plain wow…

You see Unc, we still must be vigilant and watch the assclowns.
August 19, 2010 at 12:12 am
Super find, McN. I wonder how many will actually show up on election day.
The NYT has degenerated to the level of political pamphleteering. Whoever concluded that increasing the number of have-not voters helps a society has no grasp of history the brains of a flea.
August 19, 2010 at 5:31 am
Election Day will have their checks on hold for pick up at the will call voting booth Mary.
August 18, 2010 at 9:45 am
Bizarre, totally. Here I’ve been opposing this mosque for free and now I find out there’s funding available.
Women can’t use the front door of most mosques in the US and they have to pray in segregation. Can you imagine the tolerance junkies supporting a church that makes black men use the back door and pray in segregation so as not to contaminate the rest of the congregation?
August 18, 2010 at 9:56 am
There would be hell to pay. Where is the ACLU? Oh wait, I know. The assholes are working on whether it is okay to say “God Bless You” to someone if you sneeze.
August 18, 2010 at 11:58 am
ROFL! Should we all send an e-mail asking her to let us know how to apply?
August 18, 2010 at 7:03 pm
true, but segregated prayer with the women behind a fucking screen also occurs in orthodox synagogues right here in the US and in Israel women now have to sit at the back of the bus, yet no one is protesting these are they?
all patriarchy sucks.

Nom, they may have to pray behind a screen, but the males are not given carte blanche to kill you for the desired excuse of the day.
August 18, 2010 at 9:48 pm
I didn’t say they did, but the complaint was gender segregation and back of bus-ism, and that they most certainly have
August 18, 2010 at 9:50 pm
Gotcha Nom.
August 19, 2010 at 12:18 am
That is correct. Accordingly, American Jews devloped alternatives: Conserative, Reform, and Reconstructionist synagogues, where women are equal, and to which congregations the majority of Americsn Jews belong.
August 19, 2010 at 5:30 am
the same occurs in islam. there are also mosques that have women imams, some with all women congregants and some with mixed congregants.
islam is also not a monolith.
I am stating this in the interest of accuracy and fairness. I don’t like either (or any), organized religion; this is not a defense of islam or judaism and their stone age mentalities that prevail regardless of any “reforms”.
August 19, 2010 at 12:22 am
“Here I’ve been opposing this mosque for free and now I find out there’s funding available.”
Guffawing out loud, yttik.
