Susan Estrich: Oops! I Commented on the Wrong Mosque

The dog ate my homework.

That's not much of an excuse but at least it is better than the one Susan Estrich came up with as to one of the reasons why she changed her mind on the Ground Zero Mosque controversy. Estrich claims she thought they were talking about another mosque when Fox News asked her to comment on the mosque controversy. What other mosque? Anybody even slightly knowledgeable about current events will now instantly think "Ground Zero Mosque" when they hear about a mosque controversy. Not Susan Estrich. Here she is delivering her laughable excuse:

Recently, I found myself on Fox News defending the "Ground Zero mosque" before I'd fully thought it through. Truth be told, when someone called to set up the "hit," I thought they were talking about another mosque project I'd heard about on the radio. So there I was, invoking the First Amendment, arguing that our enemy is terrorism, and that the only way we would ever win that fight is by gaining the support of the overwhelming majority of Muslims who are not our enemies and who we need to respect as friends. All true.

Susan Estrich...badly in need of a cup of wake up coffee.

[broken_arrow1]

All Mosques look alike!

[samtheman]

Badly in need of a permanent retirement from public life after spewing this obvious lie.

[Howie66]

I hate to say it, but a cup of coffee isn’t even a baby step on the way to what she needs.

Susan Estrich...badly in need of a cup of wake up coffee.

Susan Estrich...badly in need of a cup of STFU.

[Izzy Dunne]

We can't make Islam our enemy, or we will find ourselves in a war that, frankly, terrifies me.

You know what, Susan?

It terrifies me, too, but the fact is WE ARE ALREADY IN A WAR!

[Izzy Dunne]

Oohhh bad news. Looks like NewsBusters has become a TYNT JERK.

That's where they mess with what you copy and paste, and send tracking data to follow you.

WHY DO YOU ACT LIKE JERKS, NewsBusters ????

This is what current day Mosques will evolve into, temples with sirens that call for the Eloi to come for slaughter.

Susan Estrich needs to be drug-tested.

This is great! Democrats keep tying themselves up in a knot over an issue that is a no brainer for us. The more they talk about the mosque the more they dig their hole. As I said: This is great!

All the plastic surgery went to her brain.

[Brilliant]

There are two of them?

[esquirette]

Could H.G. Wells have “Molech” in mind when he created this monster?

[sueuprising]

But for those who survived the Holocaust, and for those of us who are committed to preserving the memory of the millions who were lost, building a convent on the site was just not appropriate Why was a convent not appropriate? Did Roman Catholic nuns exterminate the Jews? Does this woman realize the number of Christians who sacrificed their lives in concentration camps helping the Jews? Perhaps she ought to read about Dietrich Bonhoeffer or Carrie Ten Boom. I am sure there were Roman Catholics who also gave ,if not their lives, then their safety to assist the Jews during that time. There is no comparison to the mosque proposal in NYC.

[Eye of Unk]

Perhaps the Morlock monument in a parallel universe is derived from Michelle Obama.

I am a fan of HG Wells and his original The Time Machine, and the images of the Morlock temples, the sirens, the conditioned Eloi being called into the temples and then being consumed seems to be conceived from what possible current ideology that we have now?

The Islamic Mosque, it has its loudspeakers calling for its followers who are conditioned to come forth as cattle.

[Tribune7]

Better late than never. I’ll take converts, even stupid ones.

[Caipirabob]

Someone needs to slap her on the back, I think her face has been stuck like that since 2008.

[elcid1970]

That siren scene in “The Time Machine” gives me shivers to this day. The parallel between the suddenly robotic Eloi, and Muslims who are lobotomized five times daily is equally chilling. And the latter are all too real.

Heh, heh, I had first thought the stone face image was there to evoke the aforementioned Susan Estrogen.

[Don Corleone]

Can you imagine what these people talk about, and how they talk, in the confines of their own Brie and Chablis fests in the Hamptons? God save the Republic.
