'Nazi' Pelosi: Investigate Opposition to 9/11 Mosque

Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) today called for an investigation of those opposing the mosque being planned for construction a block away from the site of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on New York City that toppled the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center complex in lower Manhatten and killed nearly 3000 people.
Speaking to reporters in San Francisco, Pelosi at first deferred to New Yorkers on the mosque, calling it an "urban development question" for them to decide.
"I think everybody respects the right of people in our country to express their religious beliefs on their property. The decision though as to how to go forward in New York is up to New York," Pelosi said.
Pelosi reiterated that New Yorkers should decide in response to a follow-up question about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) differing with President Barack Obama on the construction of the mosque, but then launched into a brief tirade against being questioned on the mosque and demanded an investigation be made into the opposition to the mosque.
"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. 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," hissed Pelosi.
Audio of Pelosi's comments was posted by KCBS-AM-FM which ignored Pelosi's call to investigate the opposition to the mosque in its summary of her remarks--likewise for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Building a mosque on Ground Zero is like a dog mark his territory.
Excellent point, it is just like that, that is an outstanding analogy.

"...the mosque being planned for construction a block away from the site of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks..." This is spin. the 9/11 attack did not have neatly defined borders. In fact, part of one of the airplanes crashed thru the roof of the building where the mosque is targeted. That puts the mosque location within Ground Zero.

"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. Are you going to 'look into' how the mosque itself is being funded? Oops, sorry, silly me. Of course not.

People praying the Rosary halted the attack of the Moslems on Europe at Lepanto, so continue to pray the Rosary to halt the building of this mosque.

I wrote the article myself based on my transcription of Pelosi’s remarks, as noone had reported them as yet.
