It's one thing for Obama to support the mosque at ground zero, it's another for the former Solicitor General under the Bush Adm. whose wife was killed on the plane that was hi-jacked and crashed into the Pentagon on September 11th to support it...Olsen says: "We don't want to turn an act of hate against us by extremists into an act of intolerance for people of religious faith"...(Video)

Barbara’s remains are not scattered in NYC, they are in the Pentagon soil.
The disturbing thing is that to argue that it even has anything to DO with property rights/religious freedom is to completely miss the point. It is a question of taste, sensitivity, morality, and even hypocrisy. You know damn well that if some religious group of white separatists wanted to build something next to the birthplace of MLK those same people would be screaming blue murder and any question of property rights/religious freedom would not be on the radar anywhere.
Yes they CAN legally build there, but the question is SHOULD THEY? no, they should not. Especially since their stated purpose in doing so [building bridges, outreach etc] flies in the face given the very obvious reaction by people with whom they presumably want to build bridges.
Ted must not know that homosexuals are exterminated in Muslim countries. Someone should tell him.
see that's the problem right there. NO ONE who is opposed to this is saying that they do not have the RIGHT to build it there. they are saying it is an ill-conceived idea and that they SHOULD not, that to do so is insensitive, provocative and pretty damn outrageous at rock bottom. it is not remotely UNconservative to oppose it being built there because we do NOT say they do not have the RIGHT. it's the PROPRIETY of the act, not the legality of the act that is at issue.
I said the same thing.
Ted Olson has had 4 wives...maybe that gives him a feeling of common ground with Muslims.
Well, she donated to the Zeros campaign so that tells me all I need to know about her! And, now him!
Ted olsen has been a tool for many years now. I wouldn’t be suprised to see him defend the terrorists who killed his wife.
Ted Olson is a professional, who can separate the facts and the law from his personal emotions.
True. It’s a tough row to hoe, but somebody has to do it.
Obama would NEVER....EVER pick Ted Olsen...EVER! He must have a Gay in his life somewhere also....he realy has gone off the deep end.
They also BUILD a Mosque where they have had a VICTORY...witness the Temple Mount!!
>>Ground zero is being hailed as some sacred piece of ground, but lets face it, this was no Pearl Harbor.<<
“Some piece” of sacred ground? How callous and flippant.
It is hallowed ground because of the people who suffered and died there. You have no sense of perspective or proportion, or respect.
‘Ted Olson is a professional, who can separate the facts and the law from his personal emotions.’
Hi Ted, signed up today to congratulate yourself I see. Not very modest IMHO.
I wonder what Olsen has to say about a Christmas tree in public. If they can build a Mosque, or as the left will call it the Cordoba House or Park51 project, they a Christmas tree is fine. Right?
Lady Booth is/was a tax lawyer who enhanced her job security by donating (At least, on the books) $1800 to the Obama campaign. Also Giuliani contributor in 2007.
Great memory!! I was ver sad when they announced she was on that plane!!
