Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

Also...this idea that 9/11 is an open wound needs to be laid to rest.  Most people weren't there.  Most people saw it on teevee. 

I was there.  Not THERE, but uptown a couple dozen blocks.  I was trapped in the city.  I must have inhaled some of the ashes.  I was scared and had bomb scares all the next week, etc.

News flash:  I'm not wounded and neither are 99.9% of Americans.

This breathless talk of a national hurt is bullshtein.

There are people out there who refuse to buy a Japanese car because of Pearl Harbor, Dio.

Idiots. Farging idiots.

For the last time, it's not a mosque.  I call you ignorant because you are. These are simple goddamned facts that it is not a mosque, that it is not at ground zero, that the people erecting it are not extremists or in any way associated with the people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11.    There is no good reason to object to the proposed use of that.

There are only bad reasons to protest it.  Racist, ignorant, un-American reasons.  The law allows even these kinds of people to protest, but I'll be damned if, when they do, I don't point out that their gathering is the equivalent of the KKK marching around town.  

Really? there's not a place to worship there? cause if it has a place of worship then what would you call it? Will they have jewish or catholic services too since it is a "community Center" It's within eye shot of the crater, you can see the fargin construction cranes in the back and LOL, did the towers just fall straight down? Ground zero is right there.

And how ignorant is it to say

that the people erecting it are not extremists or in any way associated with the people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11.

How do you know? they will not disclose where the money or support is coming from.

Really the KKK  did black people join the KKK against their own people.

Come down off the soap box my man, I never said they shouldn't build it.

[phillymic2000]

bloomberg supports it....as he should

So is this guy a racist too? I wonder if he has brown skin also.

wow.

Oh I get it, only a certin amount of people have rights to throw that word around. My bad.

[Diomedes]

I'm done with you.

[phillymic2000]

LOL, the tolerance level is amazing. Did I get something wrong on my response Dio?

[phattymatty]

Oh I get it, only a certin amount of people have rights to throw that word around. My bad.

actually you don't get it at all.  you actually think the mayor of the most powerful city in the world would say he is against building it?

[ice grillin you]

I'd vote for that guy if he ran for President.  Possibly over Obama.

yeah i like him a lot...dont always agree with him but he seems like a good cat as far as politicians go....id take him over obama simply because hes not a pussssie

No and for the 100 hundredth time I think they have every freakin right to build it there. I just objected to the blatant labeling of the protestors who oppose it as a bunch of KKK racists.

[ice grillin you]

that the people erecting it are not extremists or in any way associated with the people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11.

How do you know? 

our govt. spies on its citizens who arent muslims trying to build a mosque near ground zero....but now there are terrorists about to do just that and they havent been looked at?

also im confused cause one second youre waving a flag and saying the mosque shouldnt be built there because it would be a temple of victory for muslims or its insensitive....then you are saying these people might be terrorists even tho there is absolutely no evidence supporting that

so really what is the reason you want to circumvent the constitution in this case?

[phattymatty]

they're all terrorists until we find proof of how they got enough money to build an entire building.

I Never said I was against it igy, I was giving some examples of why people are protesting it. I've always stated they have every right to build it there. I also never called the developers or group terrorists. I was responding to Dio's claim that there are no extremists involved. Yes or gov. does spy on us and others, that doesn't mean everything is squeaky clean everywhere.

[phillymic2000]

Thats the spirit, just like all the protestors are racist! Yay

[ice grillin you]

I Never said I was against it igy,

good then we all agree
