Sarah Palin Questions Whether Obama ‘Should’ Be Supporting Mosque First Amendment Right To Build

» 225 comments

Sarah Palin, who just last week explained to an angry Alaskan that the reason she had left her job as Governor of Alaska was so that she could be out there “fighting for Americans to be able to have the Constitution protected so that we can have free speech” apparently only meant appropriate free speech.

On Friday President Obama came out and publicly supported the building of the mosque in Lower Manhattan in so far as he believes “Muslims have the [same] right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country” as stated in the First Amendment to the Constitution. And then expanded on the remarks yesterday saying he wasn’t weighing in on the wisdom of the decision, merely their right to do so.

This was not enough for Sarah Palin, someone who has been a vocal refudiator of the plans to build the mosque, responded thusly on Facebook:

Mr. President, should they or should they not build a mosque steps away from where radical Islamists killed 3000 people? Please tell us your position. We all know that they have the right to do it, but should they? And, no, this is not above your pay grade. If those who wish to build this Ground Zero mosque are sincerely interested in encouraging positive “cross-cultural engagement” and dialogue to show a moderate and tolerant face of Islam, then why haven’t they recognized that the decision to build a mosque at this particular location is doing just the opposite? Mr. President, why aren’t you encouraging the mosque developers to accept Governor Paterson’s generous offer of assistance in finding a new location for the mosque on state land if they move it away from Ground Zero? Why haven’t they jumped at this offer? Why are they apparently so set on building a mosque steps from what you have described, in agreement with me, as “hallowed ground”? I believe these are legitimate questions to ask.

Emphasis mine. Palin is apparently discovering that protecting the Constitution is tricky business. Since the Constitution exists and subsequently mainly comes into play in instances when people’s rights are out of whack with current public sentiment, upholding it can often mean taking and unpopular position. Also, does anyone else get the sense Palin is running a bit out of steam on this issue?
Update: Probably not. Ben Smith at Politico has penned a smart piece today on how “Republican leaders have largely abandoned former President George W. Bush’s post-Sept. 11 rhetorical embrace of American Muslims and his insistence — always controversial inside the party — that Islam is a religion of peace.” Meanwhile, the builders of Park51 are apparently open to discussing Gov. Patersons’ alternate location suggestion.

Meanwhile, despite Robert Gibb‘s assertion a few weeks back that this was a local issue, Obama apparently fully intended to weigh in all along: ““We had no illusions about this. He didn’t take this on as a political strategy. He took it on because it was a matter of fundamental principle.”

    King Obama , as usual , is firmly on both sides of the issue . Sarah is absolutely correct .

    No, Glynnis. Palin is elucidating the obvious, which is that the things you have a right to do aren’t always the right thing to do. Which is funny, because she’s such a dumb dumb dummy, and yet it’s you who can’t seem to grasp that blindingly simple concept, even when you’re putting emphasis on it.

    Oh my God Glynnis, is this a joke? I read and reread your ignorant rant and I can’t find anywhere where Palin said………Should Obama be supporting The First Amendment? Can you read? Not even the dumbest person in the world could interpet Palin’s statement that way.
    He position is the same as 68% of the people in this country and YOU think SHE is wrong. LOL. In my words, in her words and in the words of those 68% we have said they have the RIGHT to build it but is it RIGHT to build it. The First Amendment protects the right of the people to oppose the mosque so it seems YOU are the one opposed to free speech.
    It is this knee-jerk “Palin is wrong” nonsense that makes you look like a fool.

    The mosque will not be built. Get over it. The people are right. Get over it. Bye Bye Barry, get over it.

    Tealiban leader Sarah Palin comes out against the First Amendment? Sarah Palin was for the Constituton before she was against it. How can so many contradictions exist in only one person’s single brain cell as they do in Sarah Palin’s momma grizzly mind? Just say no to the Tealiban.

  • Pablo

    “We had no illusions about this. He didn’t take this on as a political strategy. He took it on because it was a matter of fundamental principle.”

    How isthat when the mosque has been greenlighted, legally speaking? What on Earth does defense of the Constitution have to do with anything when there are no violations of Constitutional protections being alleged? (Excepting by stupid people who think the First Amendment is a one way street…)

    I can read, Pablow – and what Sarah says is what Sarah means and she can oppose the mosque as is her first amendment right but what she cannot do is rationalize away freedom of religion to include when/where/how someone worships. Republicans market fear because they have nothing else to market.

  • Cecelia

    How is it “upholding the Constitution” when siding with the minority opinion, when the majority hasn’t argued against building the Mosque on the grounds that it’s illegal. They’ve argued that it is in terrible sensitivity and taste.

    I suppose Glynnis would argue that Obama was upholding the Constitution if he pronounced it “legal” to fart in public, although the majority think it inconsiderate and rude.

    From Politico–Yesterday, and Today:

    [re: Obama GZMo speech] “The main reaction is ‘Why? Why now?’” said one House Democratic leadership aide. “It’s just another day off message. There have been a lot of days off message.”
    The chief of staff to one politically vulnerable House Democrat said it “probably alienates a lot of independent voters” and “it’s not a good issue to be talking about right now.”

    Democrat Jeff Greene released a deeply critical statement. “President Obama has this all wrong, and I strongly oppose his support for building a mosque near Ground Zero, especially since Islamic terrorists have bragged and celebrated destroying the Twin Towers and killing nearly 3,000 Americans,” he said.

    I reached out to a number of members in the 24-member Democratic [NY] delegation who are facing tough elections, and got exactly no responses. Only Rep. Jerrold Nadler, one of the most liberal members of the delegation in New York and one who’s safe this fall, put out a statement praising the president’s speech.

    Principles are relative to culture. Therefore the same principles do not count for Islam as they count for us. That is why we are not allowed into Mecca let alone build churches at Islamic grounds, including the grounds bought here (with 100% of the Sheikh’s sponsoring money). And that is why Islam teaches taqiyya, which is purposely deceiving the enemy on its own soil and furthering the conquests and triumphs of Islam across the world. Please someone wake up Glynnis MacNicol!!

    No Bill. I read it all. Now where’s the part where she rationalizes away anyone’s freedom? See, they have the freedom to make the considerations she suggests. They also have the freedom not to. This has ZERO to do with denying anyone’s rights.

    You are not smarter than Sarah Palin, Bill. Hell, I’ll bet you’re not smarter than Pete Stark.

    Palin never said that they shouldn’t build the mosque…she is asking why the POS Obama doesn’t stand with the American people who ask the mosque builders not to build the Ground Zero mosque over the wishes of the majority of the 9/11 victim’s families.

    Even Patterson offered the mosque builders free land to build the mosque somewhere else…NOW WHY HAVEN’T THEY TAKEN THAT OFFER? is it because the mosque builders AND THE LEFT are siding against the 9/11 families?

    Most of us say, no, it’s not the smart thing to do, even if they do have the right to do it.

    ah yes the sage advice of dipishit Mcfacebook AKA Gal Sharpton the mightiest brain in the whole GOP braintrust! What is her sage advice;quit yer job and let your daughters get preganant? I wouldn’t do it Obama cause Only the GOP would embrace such a loser-can you imagine if the sides were reveresed? Of course not!!
    Frankly let the GOP follow her infantile majesty’s advice and lets see how far they get-last time they listened to her the lost the POTUS and had there asses soundly handed to them. Lucky for you Obama that Palin considers herself qualified to open her piehole and continue to expose her vast igonorance because everytime she opens that huge grating chasm and starts “refudiatin’” she shows just how afraid and the terrified she and the GOP are. Enjoy it all the way through your second term.

  • Mr B

    I think it was Bill Whittle that mentioned the rapid rise of Obama’s popularity would result in an equal fall. I never imagined it would be this soon and rapid. However, they only have themselves (Dems) to blame. It wasn’t based on anything real. Obama as a leader was manufactured.

    Watch the moderate dems continue to distance themselves from Obama. The frenzy has clearly begun.

    Also, Katie Couric called and asked: What kind of name is Glynnis?

    I just saw the other JOURNOLIST writers and they are writing the same thing that Glynnis just wrote. They are using the same talking points. No mention of the families of the 9/11 victims just the same talking points.

    Meaning that Glynnis is part of the Left wing bloggers who are in the tank for Obama and is biased and using the same narrative as the rest of the Left.

    Ah, yes, Sarah Palin opens her mouth, and Glynnis couldn’t get to her laptop fast enough to tap out a column. Seriously, this obsession with Palin is unhealthy.

    Look what you’ve written. In the first paragraph, you frame this as some sort of anti-free speech nonsense coming from Palin. You then quote her acknowledging that the muslims have every right to build it. What she was doing was asking Obama to weigh in, and he should. Does he think it’s the right thing to do, or the wrong thing to do? I’d like to know this as well. I guess it’s just another “present” vote from him though. Lack of cojones, I think.

    Anyway, Glynnis, I don’t know if you were intentionally being dishonest, or if your hatred runs so deep that you can’t think rationally when Palin talks, but in either case, your column is just dumb.

    Hey–all you teabagging douches…where was your concern for what the American people “wanted” during the illegal Iraq war? You inbred hillbillies wouldn’t know what sensitivity was if it kicked you in the ass. American soldiers have been dying needlessly for 10 years despite the protests of million of Americans, but you were fine with that, weren’t you? And now you’ve got your panties in a wad over the location of a mosque? And you do realize that there’s already a mosque within four blocks of Ground Zero, right? Where’s your manufactured outrage over that? By the way, if you allow this to become a serious part of your political platform, then you’re dumber than I even thought (and that’s damn dumb).

    I can’t believe you’re actually listening to what Sarah Palin says…on FACEBOOK? Are you kidding me? This is your leader? She quit her job. She gave up on making real change to be another biased talking head of Fox–and why? Because she wanted more money. How do all you trailer park folks feel about that? Do you still think she speaks for you? But please, please, please, keep following her, okay? And Sharron Angle. Nothing would make me happier.

    Glad to see California is finally getting tough on illegal border crossings:

    A proposed law set to go before California’s Legislature this month would make one of Hollywood’s cherished utterances — “You’re not on the list” — carry grave new consequences. It’s a measure aimed at making the act of party crashing a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine or both.

    The author of the legislation, Assemblyman Anthony Portantino (D)…

    “At some awards shows, folks were there without a ticket or credentials; they were asked to leave, and they didn’t,” Portantino said. “The question was raised whether current trespassing laws were written in a way that covers that sort of situation. We’re trying to bring clarity to the whole issue so law enforcement knows how to and has the discretion to handle it.”

    So what happened to all the ant-war protests in the streets?

    Might have something to do with the fact that Obama campaigned on drawing down in Iraq and re-engaging the Taliban and Al Qaeda… The original war against evil men in Afghanistan was never protested like the war against Iraq as many good people questioned the justification for that second engagement… The fact that Obama is doing what he said he would do leaves little to protest about…

    “I’ve always thought the left in the U.S. was less biased than the left in Europe!” allat

    The American Left is aping its European cousins by making disagreeing with them a matter of class, i.e., if you disagree with us you are:

    “then you’re dumber than I even thought (and that’s damn dumb)”
    “You’re too stupid for words”
    “How do all you trailer park folks feel about that?”

    Personally I think its a dangerous course to pursue, since in the event of a real class war, they will find themselves in the minority, and ripe for elimination. Just sayin’…

    The World Trade towers were primarily, when you strip away most of the sentiment, Temples of Mammon. Goodness knows it hurts me to be so disrespectful, but under the circumstances it seems appropriate to mention that the Trade Center was devoted to tracking money, profits, investments, and oh so many things having to do with richness and empowerment. I don’t think this is sacred. . .after all we separated Church and State mostly so the state wouldn’t get encumbered by religious dogma as states did when Usury was against church doctrine and this put most of the old European states in a pickle. So, noooooooo, come to think of it. I don’t think the ground is sacred.

    I’ve noticed that the people who are so riled up about a mosque two blocks away from where the WTC was are also the people who think that all real Americans are blond, white, Christians from England, Ireland and Germany. They think that it didn’t matter that we stole America from the Indians and the Mexicans. And doesn’t. They think that Christmas and Easter are the only real religious holidays. I don’t have an answer for them, because people that confused won’t understand any answer anyway. So, I don’t have an answer and I feel really, really strongly that they don’t either. Well, I think the folks should go ahead and build their mosque. The brou-ha-ha will blow over in time. This is not like Pearl Harbor where we were attacked by a sovereign nation, a couple of large buildings and their tenants were blown up by a smallish group of terrorists who basically hid behind their religion in an attempt to widen their appeal. The real damage was done by George W Bush when he started attacking countries that had little to do with the 9/11 attack. Then there was a lasting problem. An our country, subsequently, went broke.

    United States is at its strongest when Americans have the courage to stand up for the values that make this country great. President Obama is upholding the best traditions of our Constitution in supporting the right of Muslim Americans to build a mosque and community center on private property near Ground Zero.
    September 11th has left deep scars on Manhattan and the United States. The family and friends of the 3,000 who perished have suffered the most, yet all Americans share in the pain of that fateful day. Ground Zero is hallowed ground and will forever live in our hearts. But it is wrong to believe that we honor the victims by rejecting the values they cherished while succumbing to the very fear and hatred their murderers were trying to provoke.

    Osama bin Laden wants Muslims to believe that America and the West are at war with Islam. That distorted view is the best and virtually only way he has to recruit young Muslims into his murderous cause. That cause targets America and our allies, but his primary mission is to destroy contemporary Islam and the majority of his victims are Muslims.

    The biggest threat to bin Laden is precisely the kind of Islam that is embodied in the Cordoba Initiative mosque and community center. Muslim Americans practicing their religion in freedom, rejecting the perversion of the faith that drives al Qaeda, and preaching against radicalism and violence is exactly what bin Laden fears. Building this facility will strengthen America’s fight against al Qaeda.

    We understand the raw emotions triggered by memories of September 11, but we are not at our strongest when we are fearful. The American experiment with freedom and religious liberty would not have been unique if it was easy and would not have survived without brave decisions to sustain it. I support building this mosque.

    As I recall, after Obama decided to weigh in with his non-assessment, i.e., there is nothing legally stopping them…it would offend a lot of people (being sure to mention all sides of the issue), etc; he then topped it off with the most profound conclusion that “It ‘s a local issue to be decided by locals.”

    I think New Yorkers have a pretty good jump on the whole tolerance thing. But you should go down there and tell ‘em they’re a bunch of bigots anyway. And send us some video.

    Nasar, now we can see why you “moderate” Muslims are making so many friends. How do you come up with I’m a fan of the Ku Klux Klan from my post? Only a very stupid person would make up stuff like this when everyone here can read my post and see that you are lying. Very dumb.
    Muslims kill gay people and you complain about conservatives deny gays rights. Are you stupid? In Muslim countries gays have no rights. Do you enjoy being a fool? You need to read the stupid stuff you write before claiming that you are kicking anyones ass.

    It is an interesting name that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf has chosen for his community center: “Cordoba House.”

    The city Cordoba, Spain became the Caliphate of Cordoba which ruled the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa after the Muslim conquest of Spain. Non-Muslims were given the second-class status of “Dhimmis” with restrictions on many civil rights.

    All those who danced in the Streets of the Gaza Strip when the Twin Towers were attacked will now have a new cause to celebrate. The “Cordoba House” is a great propaganda victory.

    The U.S. State Department is paying for Imam Rauf to take a tour of the Middle East that will only encourage more Middle Easterners to come to the U.S. as “Political Asylum” refugees, Ckick Link:

    Wasilly Sarah’s house is on fire (dysfunctional family) and she spends her efforts on telling the President what to do!!! Instead of being bitter, she should work on becoming better if she has any hopes to be elected in 2012. Just because she lost the election to President Obama, she has no right to try to turn him into her whipping boy or tomcat (like her husband). She couldn’t understand what her duties would be if elected to the position of Vice President–why should anyone listen to her when she starts telling all elected officials what their “pay grade” entails. Sure, she is driven and in love with the Almighty Dollar, but she quit her job mid-term as Alaska’s Governor and she lost the election, so she joined the likes of the former Governor of Illinois. She is not a resident of New York and did not lose a relative in 9-11 so why does she demand that everyone listen to her rants and raves. Sarah, it is time for you to let the nannies go and tend to your special needs child or your daughters who are so out of control.

    Sarah Palin is the only person in recorded history to have a rebellious teenage daughter. Such a thing has never happened to anyone else in the annals of time, and proves that Palin is a horrible parent who should be endlessly excoriated at every turn.

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    Most of the people commenting about Palin and her rebellious daughter, were the out of control children in their home. They had no respect for their parents so they don’t like Palin. People like Ted, RRK, BFD never got the spanking they deserved. I would be glad to give them one but they are hiding behind phony names so you won’t know who they are.
    They were brats and bullies as children and now they are bullies and liars as adults.

    Obama made clear that we are a nation of laws. Therefore, if it is not against the law, they can build it—legally

    On that basis, we can eliminate all federal and state legislatures, since the laws have already been written (like Shirea). In fact most things are not written and in many cases we do things because it is the right thing to do and I believe most Americans feel this way. We don’t like cheaters.

    Building a mosque on Ground Zero is wrong because it is wrong.

    What concerns me is that the president is “so much out of touch with American values,” almost to everything he touches. Why is this so hard for him?

    The Muslim community is almost in the situation of a family finding where a family member is found to be a serial killer. And they must go on living in the same community. It is best done in a low profile.

  • Morgan

    Many objections to building a mosque on the site are based on the Imam’s “Lack of sensitivity.”

    While I agree that this is true, this is trying to appeal a Muslim sense of political correctness! (?)

    Duh

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    The end is near. That Mosque will NEVER be built. The dems are throwing Obama and libtards on this site under the bus.

    Gay marriage has been STOPPED again. Why hasn’t Glynnis posted a story on that?

  • Morgan

    Glynnis writes > “We had no illusions about this. He didn’t take this on as a political strategy. He took it on because it was a matter of fundamental principle.”

    B.S. He took it on exactly because it became a political issue. Unfortunately for him, the correct political play was to leave it alone and get away from it.

    Pablo said:
    “Emphasis mine. Palin is apparently discovering that protecting the Constitution is tricky business.”

    No, Glynnis. Palin is elucidating the obvious, which is that the things you have a right to do aren’t always the right thing to do. Which is funny, because she’s such a dumb dumb dummy, and yet it’s you who can’t seem to grasp that blindingly simple concept, even when you’re putting emphasis on it.

    Glynnis – I know it’s the 21st century with a 24/7 news cycle and all that crap, but please do your readers a favor and *carefully* read the utterances of politicians you’re supposed to analyze before you bang out a column and hit the “post” button. Dan and Rachel must be dying of embarrassment.

    There is more involved here than the “Construction of a religious Community Center” The World Trade Center Twin Towers were attacked (twice! the first time by a truck bomb in the parking garage in 1993) by groups acting in the name of their religion.

    The U.S. State Department continues to bring Middle Easterners to be “resettled” as “Political Asylum” refugees. Many of them have problems adjusting to the American way-of-life and have the desire to inflict mass casualities on Americans like the “Times Square Terrorist”:

    I just read a bunch of posts in this thread of members of the left suggesting that Palin had come out against the first amendment… when she said that it was a right in her statement.

    The left is taking a frightening new stand… that they have to actively ignore what Palin is saying in order to demonize her. It was bad enough when they were reading words into hers, or deeming that cross hairs on states targeted for upcoming elections was a sub-textual hint to gun owners to shoot the candidates.

    Now Sarah makes the point that they have the RIGHT to build the mosque, and the left says that she’s come out against the first amendment.
    Freakish.

    FOX is trying to have more control over Sarah Palin’s interviews they are paying her one million dollars a year for–so they have sent Gretta to Alaska to prepare her in advance for the questions she will ask Sarah over the next three days. I listened to the Monday night interview — the next word to be added to Webster’s should be Sarah’s “deliberative” and a new way to pronounce Divisive (Sarah likes da-viss-iv — and she certainly should know.
    It certainly makes you wonder why FOX sends someone to ALASKA to ask $arah Palin questions about whether or not the Mosque should be built two blocks from the 9/11 site. Is Wasilla the proposed alternative site for the mosque? Most of the media think it is more appropriate to discuss this matter with the officials who are directly involved in negotiations for the Mosque site or the actual residents of New York. Sarah has three full days to prepare in advance for the questions she will be asked by FOX. She will try her best to prove her claim that Obama is a Muslim and that she is most qualified to decide where this mosque should be located. Afterall, Palin was the one who went ballistic when McGinniss moved next door to her–she can recognize a worldwide threat before it raises its ugly head and sound the warning!!!

    Palin is a coward that hides behind the internet. If she were ever to run for President she would actually have to speak to the public and not be able to hide behind a screen. She would have to answer to the people not just the crazies that will listen. She is a complete idiot and coward. The one thing I will give her is she is smart enough to make fools of the people who actually believe she is out for them, when really the only thing she is out for is the dollars she can stuff in her own pockets. She does know how to sell herself and make a buck but so do alot of other women and men on the streets. Only they are called prostitutes. You can run the US on the internet. Come on people get real. LOL

    I would like to see SOMEBODY build SOMETHING on the “hollow” ground. Get off it NYC and do something. Geez
