Bloomberg: ‘100 Percent’ of 9/11 Families Support Ground Zero Mosque
NewsBusters ^ | August 28, 2010 | Nathan Burchfiel

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg might consider checking out the polls. He's under the impression 100 percent of 9/11 families support building the Ground Zero Mosque at the current planned location.

"The family members, they do care," Bloomberg told "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart Aug. 26. "And the family members that I've talked to - and I'm chairman of the board of the World Trade Center Memorial - 100 percent in favor of saying, ‘These people, if they want to build a mosque, can build a mosque. The lives of our loved ones were taken because the right to build a mosque or say what you want to say was so threatening to people.'"

Even Stewart, who takes Bloomberg's side in supporting the mosque and has mocked opponents in several episodes of the hit comedy news program, couldn't let Bloomberg's exaggeration go unchecked.

"I think the difficulty always is, unfortunately, I'm sure there are veterans who fought over there who feel we shouldn't," Stewart said. "I'm sure there are family members, maybe you haven't heard of them, who feel we shouldn't."

Bloomberg is a lying liberal who wouldn’t know the truth if you knocked his teeth out with it. The only people playing politics are libs who see this as an opportunity smear conservatives. Bloomberg probably stands to make a stash of cash out of this monument to 9-11 terrorists.

My guess is that he keeps yakking about this because he’s getting so much opposition. He’s using his bully pulpit to try to stem the tide.

I do it this way: Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge holds 92K. That looks about like 2.75-3 Tiger stadiums, or about 270K folks.

Awesome turnout.

He’s not “under the impression,” he’s just lying.

Harry Truman was purported to be the last presidential candidate that did the railroad campaign. Speaking from the back of the train, the same speech was given to every stop on the way. Local papers did not care to take the time to see the same thing was said at each stop. Earlier in our history these railroad campaigns had the same promised factory , road or bridge. Again the media did not know nor did complain. Today liberals especially Obama have it the same way only they use the MSM to cover for them. Same promises same lies. Not contradicted by the MSM. Along comes the Internet, talk radio and cable news (Fox especially)
mayor Blumberg thought he was protected by being on a show that wanted to hear not the truth but what they wanted to hear. He was wrong, they are wrong. The Pandora’s box of mass information can never be closed. Misleading or incomplete at times, raw and unpolished, it must be confronted. They (they being everyone in charge) do not get it. Each of them thinks they can control what people are to know. Google, yahoo, Blumberg Republicans and Democrats all think they have or will have the power. No its anarchy out here and the waters fine.

Those who think he is getting paid for his position are off base. He is a multibillionaire. It is his sick little ego that caused him to buy New York in the first place and is prompting him now to be holier-than-thou. Money cannot buy character, wisdom, or holiness, but he doesn’t know that.

And the family members that I've talked to ... [are] 100 percent in favor of [the Mosque] ...

I guess the found one or two that were safe to talk to. That's right up there with "How could McGovern lose? Everyone I know voted for him."

They're trying to wear down the opposition, hoping they will get tired of fighting.

It often works, but I don't think it will this time.

They have no shame. “If you’re going to lie, lie BIG.”
The simple solution is to consider the feelings of those affected by 9/11. But I guess those that lost loved ones on 9/11 aren’t a santioned ‘victims’ class by the left.

Since Bloomberg is a multimillionaire, does that mean that he can use stronger, purer drugs?

What is he drinking?

What is he taking?

How large is the bubble he is living inside of?

Maybe there should be a re-vote for Mayor.

Let them build a mosque, I say, so long as it has a central chapel, a couple of dressing rooms, and nothing else. In other words, a prayer place, not a Jihad center with fifteen secret floors of unknown function.

On second thought, forget it entirely.
