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.
I thought this was satire!

We’ve got to tie this issue around the neck of every single demoRAT running for election in november. Every single one.
Including worm-weasel-Reid, who is a pillar of the demoRAT establishment and hasn’t said a single solitary word about the State Department funding of the mosque-builder’s fund-raising trip to the Middle East.
Every single RAT in America. They are all 100% GUILTY on this issue. Every single one of them.
Don’t LET them squirm out of it by PRETENDING they are against this mosque.
Nancy Pelosi: "Are you serious?!" "What is this Constitution you are talking about?"
Do it! The american people have nothing to hide Nancy!! nibsh!T !!!
Nancy:
I personally am against this ‘mosque’ ( war training center) in particular.
I am against Muslims in general.
Wanna investigate me? Try !!!

“Islam is exactly the same, and I think we would be fully justified in attacking it and driving it out.”
Bravo. Islam has been pushing the limits of its influence for well over a thousand years. It brought conflict north of the Mediterranean lasting hundreds of years and is again reemerging through ‘peaceful’ immigration. The fledgling USA got a taste of this aggression in piracy from north African shores. It has been challenging us ever since, under the guise of a religion of peace, and of late billions in petro-dollars have infused Wahhabist international expansion. If Pelosi wants to be other than a useful tool to this aggression she would be well advised to invite debate about the reality of Islam/Sharia in the august chamber over which she tenuously presides, instead of defying 70% of the electorate.
They have the White House, why not ground zero?
Imam Soebarkah, POTUS, needs a place to pray for Mohammed Attah when he vists ground zero.
Did Islami Pelosi have her Muslim head scarf on when she said this???
I love it. Keep it up Commies and Socalists, Moderates and
Moderate Liberals are being Radiclized into Right Wingers.
Sorry, meant to write= Keep it up Communists and Socalists.
Moderates and Moderate Liberals are being radicalized into
Right Wingers.
Of course you do, Nancy, you snot-nosed, elitist, Communist b*tch.
and a BIG Thankee to Dr. Bogus Pachysandra for this link that tells us the story I couldn’t remember in my post #71 of this thread:

It’s truly Pelosi that deserves the thorough investigation from top to bottom, and all points in between. She’s a typical Leftist opportunistic crooked Poltician.
You’re welcome! I despise her! Hope she slips up, and gets caught crossin’ the line from unethical to illegal.
“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.
Why are all the pundits saying its a “local” issue? I thought the 9/11 attacks were and act of war, that many Americans from many states were unmercifully murdered, and if not an act of war, WHY ARE ARE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE MILITARY STILL IN THE MIDDLE EAST... FOR THEIR HEALTH???
This is a National issue, make no mistake. I have repeatedly contacted FOX, and the other sites will no answer. They are all caving and catering to the “moderate Muslims” and oxymoron, as there are no moderates. Now its, lets add Sharia law to the laws of the United States. Please, we can’t let this go.
Pelosi wants to spend taxpayer dollars to “investigate” the opposition to the mosque.
I guess I should just stop paying my taxes then.
To compel a man to subsidize with
his taxes the propagation of ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Lets see who is and isn’t on the side of the USA.”<<<<
” Your either with us or your against us” W
We now know who the enemy is and they need to be delt with!!
“And now they are on the verge of losing it.”
From your lips, to God’s ear. I pray that they lose BIG TIME this November.
