According to Schlesinger, we're all frightened of 'others' and too stupid to see the wonderful benefits of having a defiant symbol of Islam adjacent to Ground Zero. It's no big deal to Robert and of course, he tries to wrap the issue in a false 'freedom of worship' burqua, ignoring the fact that there are many Muslim mosques in Manhattan. No one is stopping Muslims from worshiping at any of them. We're just asking that another mosque not be built at this specific location. Of course, that would be too easy. Schlesinger has to seek and find 'hidden' motivations for opposition to the mosque, including, (what else?) religious bigotry. Yeah, Robert, that must be it. You moron.
The willful insensitivity and disconnect from reality of leftists is writ large in this piece by Robert Schlesinger, in a 'news' magazine that few bother to read anymore. In fact, this thread on FR may be the most exposure this article ever gets. Too bad the article is blatantly fallacious. Oh well, consider the source.
BTTT
What’s the point of this bizarre article? Lie down and die, so the muslims can take over without having to murderously annilate us? Don’t protest as they impose the torture of sharia upon us? I think this author needs to wake up and smell the coffee. I am woman hear me roar! It’s time to wake up and be intolerant of intolerant ideologies. As much as I fear their bad behavior, I fear surrender by tolerating their wicked ideologies even more.
Thanks for your service to our nation AFNamVet.

Follow the money.
At least us “know nothings” don’t have our heads up the @sses of the Kennedys like a Schlesinger! Except for his name he would be unknown.
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know especially in the world of politics and this idiot proves it!
Schlesinger came to U.S.News & World Report as a freelancer and blogger for a variety of publications, including Salon.com, Economist.com, the Huffington Post, and the New York Times Magazine
Thanks D1.
“, also talked about the danger of sharia gaining power in this country. It’s an admittedly imbecilic fear “
An imbecilic sentence written by an imbecile, Perhaps they don’t read what goes on in England and the rest of Europe to a lesser extent.
I didn't know they were still in business.
That guy is nut he would never go up against Great Britain the Most Powerful Navy in the World, so you all on the Right need to stop your war mongering, and your attacks on Il Duce too he is a great man.
I don't think I need a /Sarc tag
New Yorkers have given us people like Charles Schumer, Hitlery Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Geraldine Ferraro. The list is endless.
They've lied (laid? layed?) down with dogs for years and now they piss and moan when they wake up with fleas?
Screw 'em.
Liberals have a willing suspension of REALITY.
“which is neither a mosque nor at ground zero”
BULL SHIITE!
Where’s that pic of Kent Brockman saying “I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.”
Someone should change the caption to read: “I, for one, welcome our new muslim overlords.”
This dipsheet writer will make a useful tool for our future socialist, democrat, one-world-government, muslim masters.
Probably you meant they "have lain down with dogs", but your first try looks like a well-aimed pun to me.
Don’t be too worried about that mosque in GZ. It will be taken down by a cargo jet that “lost control” loaded with jp-4 and other chemicals when mixed together will provide a 3000 deg temp.
Obama’s State Dept. is helping to promote the building of the Ground Zero Mosque, by providing Saudi Imam Rauf a taxpayer funded trip around the Middle East, so he can rally the Islamic States to fund the 100 million dollar NYC “Ground Zero Cordoba Mosque:
