Does anyone other than me think this just might be a tad of a security risk?
Pfft. As if being a tax deadbeat did anything other than endear the tax cheat to liberals.
Ya think? Man, I just cannot fathom the liberals who are going full bore in favor of this.
Yes. Yes, it is!
That just begs for a photoshop.
Could it be that the real reason for turning it into a Mosque is to avoid paying the back property taxes (and obviously future taxes)? Could the back taxes be waived because of the Mosque?
Could this all simply be about money?

The muslim victory mosque developer also has a long criminal record, including a bust for patronizing a prostitute.
Typical Mohammed Atta-style muslim:
Years before his latest real-estate project ignited an uproar, Sharif El-Gamal racked up at least seven run-ins with the law, including a bust for patronizing a prostitute.
Glad the MSM is all over this. Great investigative job they’ve done
“How brilliant for Bloomberg and Obama to tie themselves to a falling boulder.”
Indeed. And clearly for such two geniuses to have swallowed the bait hook line and sinker on this issue, the only explanation is that this whole deal is a Republican dirty trick. That’s right, the Pubs set this whole deal up knowing in advance that Obummer would snatch it up in his teeth like a rabid dog grabs a flying stick. How else to account for a Nobel Prize winner as smart as Obummer involving them self in such an imbroglio?
I’m sure that with the tiniest bit of investigation sufficient to barely scratch the surface of this scandal, it will be found that Sharif El-Gamal and Feisal Abdul Rauf are paid operatives of the Dirty Tricks Division of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. That’s right. Paid operatives. Paid by the very same folks who planted Alvin Greene. Just remember you heard it here first! (Oh yeah, and man I wish we Vast Righters really did have a Dirty Tricks Division, don’t you?)
They never had the money. The only way they will be able to build it is with public money or Saudi money.
That figures.
I can’t believe this story is only just coming out. Bloomberg is a smart guy. We may not like him, but he’s smart. Did he really not know about this?
Not to worry. Taxpayers will undoubtedly pick up the tab, won’t they Mr. Bloomberg!!
Not in the eyes of mac daddy the liar.
He also has uncorrected violations on a couple of other buildings and has had trouble paying his employees.
Bloomberg: I had no idea this was going on. Shocking. Shocking.
