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.
Yeah, lets investigate the hell out of it. Lets see who is and isn’t on the side of the USA.

Pelosi is like a rabid dog. Rabid dogs must be treated only one way.
Nancy Pee-louose-e need investigated as to how she manages to exist without a single functioning brain cell. Enquiring minds want to know.
It doesn’t take much
To get the despots to show
Their ugly colors.
“...Until they’re out of power....”
Which WILL happen November 2nd.
We’ll make a Spa Day out of it! ;)
‘Nazi’ Pelosi: Investigate Opposition to 9/11 Mosque”
She wants to investigate 66% of the citizens of this nation?
If God EVER needed to ZOT a despicable human being—I’m just sayin’!!! >:-(
What a HORRIBLE representative of women, this first female speaker of the house—she’s set this country back I don’t know how many years with this kind of money wasting foolishness.
Keep telling myself, “God is in control, God is in control...”
Grrrrrrrrrrr. >:-(
It’s now the lead story on Drudge with a banner headline and photo of Pelosi.
Just another brainless, incoherent, egomaniacal, hate speech, dictatorial remark by Nazi Pelosi.
Let’s see, it was okay for Teddy Kennedy to oppose unsightly windmills, but . . . .
She should start with Harry Reid!
Pelosi is pimping for money from islamists.

was that Elihu Harris?
When conservatives and those who truly oppose the “in-your-face” act of building a mosque near the former location of the Twin Towers, the left loses all composure.
When the radical left disagrees with an issue, burning buildings, looting, attacking the police and physical violence are considered appropriate expressions of dissent.
I pray that voter fraud won’t thwart the effort in November to elect conservative legislators and oust the liberals who are drunk with power and out of touch with reality.
God bless our country and our military.
