I wish to be clear up front. This is NOT a CMR parody piece. This is real. Nancy Pelosi wants to investigate those opposed to building a mosque at ground zero.
Speaking on San Francisco’s KCBS radio, Pelosi said:
“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.”
Apparently the 70% of the American people who oppose the mosque are guilty of forcing Nancy off message. For that crime, they must be investigated.
May I also suggest, Madame Speaker, that one of the primary reasons that two of the first three questions in your interview were about “a zoning issue in New York City” is becuase the President of the United States and the leader of your party decided to comment on “a zoning issue in New York City.” And by making these comments in opposition to a large majority of Americans, people care about it.
So if you wish to investigate anyone, Madame Speaker, why not start at the top?
This particular issue has turned out to be one of those giant blue bug lights. Democrats just can’t stay away and are burning themselves in the process.

Gosh, maybe it's just "astro-turf" like Nancy said that pesky bunch of RNC financed Tea Party people were—just community organizers on the right like Obambi was on the left. Same with the anti-mosque crew, gotta be some sort of conspiracy and 99% of the conspirators live outside San Fran Nan's Tenderloin constinency….

The people who don't want the Moquse truly understand that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Those that want the Moquse don't understand. They need to repent and learn to start excepting Jesus or leave this country. Madame Speak just don't get it! Does she? She needs to repent and get with the program, or else….

Congresswoman Pelosi has a chronic speech disorder that should disqualify her from holding her present office as she is well-known to make the most bizarre, inappropriate, prejudiced and stupid remarks. It's very hard to take anything that she says seriously.

Congresswoman Pelosi has a chronic speech disorder…
Yes – it's called "opening her mouth".

Okay, I either I am getting dumber every day (which is a distinct possibility) or "Madame Damnfoolidiot" is getting more idiotic!
Firstly, EVERYONE knows that foreign investment of islamic "institutes" (hey, I lived in Dearborn for 34 years!) means installation of muslim clerics with radical agendas that even most middle easterns themselves won't follow (remember, there is no central authority of islam, each imam has his own following). By the way, does anyone know a reliable source that has published the funding of the Cordoba institute? If there is any connection to the saudi wahabists…look out!
But, secondly, what is she talking about with the whole "Treasure Island" bit and who are the "we" in the "something we've been working on for decades" and the "our" in the next bit? These kind of remarks confuse the heck out of me. Should I know what she is talking about?
As an aside, this controversy may actually be the tinny death knoll of the overly left leftist because any defense of the "rights" of property ownership or "religious freedom" always ring hollow coming from their lipsticked leader. Egads.

Ohhhhh, Treasure Island is another name for Manhattan. How cute.
August 18, 2010 at 1:29 pm
My country, tis of thee, sweet land of liberty… I can't sing this anymore without tears coming to my eyes. How did we fall so far so fast? We're laughing at ole Nancy but nutty as she is, the old girl is serous.

Isn't that investigation a form of harassment? I think the administration is getting nervous about these calls to find the funders of the mosque. Is it possible that stimulus dollars were earmarked for this project? I've read that our taxes were already being used to build mosques abroad to prevent terrorist attacks or some asinine reason like that. So, using the same here is not a stretch.

Rick,
Do you mean that a religious preference is being given to our tax dollars? Where did you read that?
KM

@KM: Let me find it and get back to you. But I am positive to have seen it somewhere. I know it is controversial because, that is so unconstitutional. But, if I don't respond sooner or in this thread, I will definitely post about it later. This must not stand.
August 18, 2010 at 2:27 pm
Gov Patterson is considering giving the Muslims state land to move the mosque elsewhere. The state giving land to promote an individual religion? Has anyone else seen this?
August 18, 2010 at 2:28 pm
@KM: Just search on "tax dollars mosques" and you will find 10 pages of links. Here are some of them.

John Hetman said "It's very hard to take anything that she [Pelosi] says seriously."
Unless you are of course unfortunate enough to come from the state she supposedly represents. In which case it is indeed very serious. Desperately so.

Perhaps into her investigations into Americans she'll discover that we like life, liberty, and property? Or maybe she'll discover exactly who is funding this mosque project? Or maybe she'll discover the secret to perfecting shrill injustice?

Treasure Island is in San Francicso Bay. It once housed a naval base. It is now being developed for residential use. The details of this are apparently controversial – I don't know the details, but that's probably what Pelosi is talking about.

That is what she wanted to talk about, she was upset that people wanted to talk about the mosque.
August 18, 2010 at 4:21 pm
Thank so much, Rick. I am once again ASTOUNDED.
We all certainly need to increase our committed prayer for this nation.
