Scott Stringer: tea party people are going after Jewish elected officials
Big Bureaucracy ^ | August 26th, 2010 | Ellie Velinska

One of the most outrageous lies said during the Ground Zero Mosque controversy was told yesterday by Scott Stringer, Manhattan Borough President, on the O’Reilly Factor:

A few very well orchestrated agitators have created a situation where we now see tea party people going after Jewish American elected officials. Mayor Bloomberg, myself, the speaker of our assembly Sheldon Silver.

Shame on you Mr. Stringer!

America knows that those who disagree with Mayor Bloomberg on the MosqueGate are doing so not because of he is Jewish, but because he is misleading the public on the issue from day one.

Mayor Bloomberg and other NYC officials are refusing to take responsibility for the scandal by pretending it is a Freedom of Religion issue. It is not.

Mosques like churches, synagogues are buildings and are subject of property and zoning regulations. The constitution is not making the NYC zoning plans. Mayor Bloomberg and his administration do. NYC officials are trying to shift the blame on the Founding Fathers instead of taking responsibility for the mess... America disagrees equally with President Obama (not Jewish as far as we know) for the same reason. The Constitution gives freedom of religion to people not buildings. Churches and mosques and all other houses of worships are subject to zoning regulations, like all other buildings.

The Chicago zoning committee has rejected building a mosque (a tax-exempt institution) in the commercial district that is supposed to produce revenue for the city. The community in Chicago has the right to do it.

The only reason why today Imam Rauf and his greedy friends have right to build a mosque on Ground Zero is not because of freedom of religion, but because Mayor Bloomberg and his administration allowed it.

Blaming it on the Constitution is ridiculous and misleading.

It’s because most Jewish elected officials are hard-left Dems. It has nothing to do with their being Jewish.

Stringer specifically called out Ingraham’s “Tea Party friends” as well as Fox News (“I didn’t stick to the talking points…”).

How is that defamatory to Jews? It means that every other Jew in the world is smarter than a billionaire mayor.

Scott Stringer is an elitist, Upper West Side, Un-Patriotic (yes, I’m not afraid to call something as loathsome as that Un-Patriotic, Christophobic, Dhimmi, schmuck and always has been. He’s another Dem machine politician whose turn it was to get his current job. It would serve this idiot right to get caught by some Muslim extremist who would do to him what they do to all Jews. Laura Ingraham decimated him and showed him to all of America as the effete, Upper West Side scum that he is.

“Stringer specifically called out Ingraham’s “Tea Party friends” as well as Fox News (“I didn’t stick to the talking points…”).”

He was babbling so fast I barely caught all of the Lib talking points HE was spewing.

I heard “tea party, fox news, palin, right wing, spreading hate, religious freedom, well orchestrated agitators, wedge issue, lower the tone, newt gingrich” did I miss any?

Why is Stringer including Silver? Silver is part of the “Save the Democrats at the Cost of This Stupid Issue” team!

Having been raised as a Jew, trust me when I say that most of AMerica’s Jews are left to far left.

I am amazed that America has not turned against them for their propensities for socialism, which is to say propensities for the arguably treasonous..

Silly wabbit! Didn't you know that being antimuslim is the same thing as being antisemitic?
They're both, after all, semitic people.

When New York issues a permit to rebuild the Greek Church destroyed by the falling towers, then I’ll listen to Mayor “We’re All Muslim” Bloomberg.

Rhetorical sleight-of-hand. “Bloomberg is Jewish and you’re going after him.”. It’s what’s known as a fallacious (or specious) causal link. While both statements are true (Bloomberg IS Jewish and we ARE going after him), we are not going after him BECAUSE he is Jewish.

But don’t let journalistic integrity stand in the way of your trickery ...

Bloomberg is Jewish? Who knew! He doesn’t act like it.
