But King Obama the Most Merciful is for it and against it . So , Ted agrees with that ?

See that you old right wing hatemongers Ted Olson is an example of how to age. He isn’t scared of muslims , babies or the gays, he beat the crap out of Chris Wallace on fox the muslim owned geezer channel with his intelligence. If you old right wing farts possibly understand that your waning days here would be so much better

I respect Ted’s opinion, just as I respect the opinion of everyone on this issue.

I do have a question for you, Glynnis. I’ve heard and read several statements from Muslims, who think building the mosque so close to ground zero is highly insensitive. Why haven’t you highlighted ANY of those people, you know in the spirit of at least pretending to be balanced?

has anyone said why the muslims have the burning in their peepees to build it there? are they getting the place for free? no one says they cant build it there, they are just fucking stupid for doing it.

Well ain’t that just a beautiful thing !

The Left is now wanting Bush and his officials support on this issue . ( See Maureen Dowd )

Don’t worry next week they’ ll be blaming Bush for everything again !

iris get off the internet and get back on your corner

Ted Olsen is such a John McCain!!!

Of course he backs Obama, if he didn’t he wouldn’t be on MSNBC.

Now if Obama, Bloomberg & Schummer would say something about St. Nicholas THAT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO WTC.

A church that was DESTROYED ON 9-11 and has yet to be rebuilt after almost 9 years.

If they showed a little support for St. Nicholas then yeah maybe I would’nt come to the conclusion that they were a bunch of hypocrites with an alternative motive.

And maybe someone can tell me, why do they have to build a Mosque 2 blocks away from WTC when there is a Mosque 4 blocks away. Are there that many Muslims in the Neighborhood these days one Mosque can’t support everybody?

I smell politics BIG TIME!

Things that make you go whom???

Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean comes out against proposed mosque at Ground Zero

Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, in a surprise move Wednesday, became the second high profile Democrat to come out against the building of a cultural center and mosque two blocks away from Ground Zero.

“This is something that we ought to be able to work out with people of good faith,” Dean said in an interview with WABC radio.

“We have to understand that it is a real affront to people who’ve lost their lives, including Muslims.

“That site doesn’t belong to any particular religion … So I think a good reasonable compromise could be worked out without violating the principle that people ought to be able to worship as they see fit.”

Dean, one of the more liberal members of the party who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004 before serving as head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), suggested the mosque should be moved.

“Well I think another site would be a better idea, again — but I would look to do that with the cooperation of the people who are trying to build the mosque,” Dean said.

I admire and respect Mr. Olson quite a bit – especially with his advocacy for marriage equality. But I am a bit confused by his comments.

Is anyone saying they don’t have a right to build the mosque?

The argument is that it’s just not in particularly good taste. I understand what the proponents are saying that it wasn’t Islam that attacked and people shouldn’t be bothered or offended. This seems tilting at windmills to me.

People are bothered and offended. Trying to righteously explain to them that they shouldn’t be kind of misses the point – especially if outreach is the genuine goal as the builders say.

Sometimes you just have to deal with reality. Being “correct” when it comes to people’s emotions and whether they should have them or not is kind of irrelevant.

Tom,

“Reality” is what Pope John Paul II dealt with when he ordered nuns to move their convent out of the Auswitz camp. There was lots of resistance from Polish Catholics on moving the convent, and tensions were so high that a Jewish rabbi attacked the convent. The Pope cut through all this strife with a single letter.

Now, if the Cordoba House people would sit back and meditate a bit on why the Pope acted as he did, as well as upon the meaning of “fitna”, maybe they’d understand and not be so hell-bent on shaving our beards off.

I wonder how many times he’ll be asked back on Fox News if he keeps this up.
Plus, since Republicans are not allowed to agree with anyone who agrees with a Democrats, it’ll be interesting to see how they discredit Olson. They’ll have to be careful, or it’ll be too obvious.

Is he backing Obama up on the part he refuses to comment on? That’s the only open question.

Come on people read that statement again and again. That is a lawyers answer. He did not say he agrees the should build the Mosque there. He went all around the issue. He left the door wide open for the Muslims to back down to pressure He is just wishey washey like Obama.

The last combat troops left Iraq today. Hail to those who served and did such a fantastic job.

…and the over 4 thousand that offered their lives to the preservaton of freedom.

The opinions of 9/11 survivors matter only if they’re the correct opinions. These people don’t count:

Ted Olson has lost his mind. He’s no longer a conservative.
