Mayor Bloomberg said he doesn't know where the planners of the proposed mosque and Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero will get the money to build -- and he doesn't care.
"People say, well, you know, 'Do they have the money? Can they raise the money? Where does it come from?' " the mayor said Friday on his WOR-AM radio show with John Gambling.
"I don't know, and government shouldn't -- do you really want every time they pass the basket in your church and you throw a buck in, they run over and say, 'Okay, now, you know, where do you come from? Who are your parents? Where'd you get this money?'
"No! This is just not -- and I can't for the life of me -- a handful of people ought to be ashamed of themselves."
Bloomberg gave an impassioned defense of the rights of the Park51 Islamic center this week after the Landmarks Preservation Commission gave the founders permission to tear down the existing structure on Park Place.

The Saudi State should be just as prohibited from funding the expansion of religion in the United States as our own government is. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic theocratic government with ZERO tolerance for other faiths.
I wonder what would go down if the Amish wanted to farm there?
“A handfull of people”? How about the bulk of the American people that don’t want the mosque? Right or wrong, it is the American people that own this country and will decide for themselves what is right or wrong and will act accordingly.
I have a profound contempt for NYC New Yorkers in general.
The combination of crassness, arrogance and ignorant provincialism is appalling. But even with that population, WHY did they elect this incomparable fool?
Amazing,how all that stupid can walk erect and take in oxygen.
What an immoral imbecile....he thinks it doesn’t matter if Hamas is creating another base in our country to brainwash hundreds of jihadists? What a suicidal money whore.
Bloomberg is the personification of a Kapo. Anyone have his direct contact numbers?
Because the Dems nominated even bigger fools, silly...
LLS
This guy wants to restrict our intake of trans fats, salts, and who knows what else, while trampling on our right to keep and bear arms, but when it comes to funding for the Ground Zero mosque, he says, “What, me worry???”
That would be fine with him as long as their lunch pails didn’t contain any salty or high-trans-fat meals.
Because, after all, it’s not his job as mayor to vet clergy, it’s his job to control diets.
Yeah, right. This guy is one of the biggest B.S. artists I've ever seen.
Look, if everybody started following the money trail, where would that leave politicians like Bloomberg?
USEFUL IDIOT: useful idiot was used to describe Soviet sympathizers in Western countries and the attitude of the Soviet government towards them. The implication was that though the person in question naïvely thought themselves an ally of the Soviets or other Communists, they were actually held in contempt by them, and were being cynically used.
That seems to be the entire democRAT party’s view also.
If RG was such a die-hard social liberal, then why has he been campaigning for tons of social conservatives since the early 90’s (in my state).
Bloomy sides with libs on everything, he campaigns against Rs constantly.
He is not a Republican.
Seriously - WHAT did this suicidal buffoon offer?
Giuliani and Koch for example, are both unacceptably liberal for most polities, but neither is an abject fool and both demonstrated real competence when and where they elected to focus their attention.
Bloomberg on the other hand is a hapless, doomed and dooming ignoramus. This is so clearly a second, more subtle, and potentially more demoralizing and deadly attack on NYC.
I will never understand some cultures. Aztecs make more sense to me than the people of NYC.

What would be cool, in theory, just pretending, is that they build this big mosque then someone takes a plane.....
