Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Committee, accused Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of trying to intimidate 9/11 families from expressing their criticism of the location of the Cordoba House mosque planned for construction in a building near the World Trade Center site that was severely damaged in the September 11, 2001, terror attack that killed nearly 3,000 people.
King made his remarks on the Fox News Channel this morning (video courtesy Mediate):
"I...see it as a threat by the Speaker to try to intimdate people who are speaking out against the location of the mosque. Listen, I can take care of myself, but I'm thinking of the families, the family members like Rosemary Cain, Jimmy Boyle, Debra Burlingame. I mean these are people whose hearts have been broken by September 11th. That wound has now been torn open. Are they going to have to face investigation by Nancy Pelosi somehow implying that they're part of a consiracy?"
Yesterday, Pelosi called for an investigation of the opposition to the Cordoba House 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.
Not giving up yet...this is a very HOT button issue...and Americans won’t stand for it.
No, his handlers are not that smart either. Do you think and ‘ant parasitic fungus’ in the science news the past few days was smart? Ob’a handlers and the fungus are equivalent. Serendipitous, but deadly, parasites.
Pelosi needs to be brought up on charges of government intimidation and coercion of a citizen and violation of the citizens’ First Amendment rights.
I’d throw in corruption for good measure.
It’s time to stop playing with this stupid b*t*h.
I like to win by kicking the board over when I appear to be losing. Are your still prepared to play?
I bet there are a few very upset Dims in congress over these statements. I further bet if we do not see a change in parties in November running the House that we will see a coup attempt by Dim members tired of getting slammed by these nutty comments. They must answer to this tripe each time they are at home. Certainly they are scared and ready for a change.
The problem with parasites is that they usually destroy their host.
It is frightening to imagine but she couldn't possibly be more anti American than the muzzie in chief we have.
I don't think he planned it. Obama made his first comments at a Ramadan meal attended by many hard core Islamists. As he has done many times in the past he wanted to show he was on their side - thus the comments supporting the victory mosque. He figured the media would protect him by not reporting it, like they usually do. He didn't anticipate the firestorm he would create and now he's dancing like crazy trying to deal with the fallout.
Pelosi is a bomb, but not a smart one.
LOL!
You must be ONE with the chess board...concentrate Freeper-san.
We'll call it the Victory Mosque
Perfect!
Stolen from Rush.
Agree 100%. He was probably stunned to see that part of his speech broadcast by the MSM the next day.
Alright! Like that response.
A technique of winnning — always fight to win, or don’t fight at all, unless it’s to build experience and strength — is to increase the effect, strength and speed of your opponents parasites.
Obama-wise we are doing that. Look at Reid and Pelosi. Pelosi’s just got stuck in a tarpit called the Treasure Island land grab. Reid’s gone against the Ob. Rahm is getting cauliflower ear from the damage control. Ob’s muslimisicity parasite hocked himself all up. The Blago quasi-verdict actually amps up the Chi-town parasitic. Now they are all going to grab for dis and dat like hornets at a soccer game.
My weakness! My weakness! I am undone ....
