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.
Of course.
Dissent is unpatriotic.
Until they’re out of power.
I guess Nancy Pelosi is going to “investigate” Harry Reid. Now, I’d pay to see that.
When the Muslims took over Palestine they built a mosque on the very site where the Jewish temple had been torn down. Building a mosque on Ground Zero is like a dog mark his territory. Islam thinks it was victorious on 9/11 and to the victor go the spoils.
Good. Investigate all 70% of the American people who oppose this. In fact, conduct show trials. I’d love to see it.
Hissed??? The San Francisco Chronical reporter said she hissed??? Really?
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Keep pushing the people Pelosi!
Typical lib, believing that all political points of view must be ginned up and funded. Hey, Nancy--anyone with half a brain (that eliminates all democrats) realizes how insensitive this would be towards the friends and families of the 3000 innocents who perished there on that horrific day.
All dissenters on the Right must be investigated! Sounds like a witch hunt in the making!
“Islam thinks it was victorious on 9/11 and to the victor go the spoils.”
I guess they haven’t seen what we did to al queda in Iraq and Afghanistan...
Since I pay taxes, I pay for the schools and public buildings. That would make those schools and public buildings my property. Tell the ***holes at the aCLU to knock of the bull**** before I bring a lawsuit against them for violating my freedom of religion.
America has become a bad movie with some sick twisted minds running the projector.
What’s to investigate?
If the dems think there is something to investigate about Americans just saying they need to build the mosque elsewhere in another location and not near ground zero then they have truly become the Nazi fascists they call others.
Nancy Pelosi is reprehensible if she thinks good but opinionated Americans should be investigated for their values, beliefs and principles.
Pelosi is a totalitarian despotic liberal fascist bully and she needs to be replaced and voted out of office...the sooner the better.
Islam is Anti-Representative-Republic and therefore should be eradicated from the the United States of America.
Investigate Nazi for having an automatic, large bore gavel.
LoL. Not how is the mosque being funded, but how is the opposition to it being funded.
Unbelievable
No, I did.
She wants to know where the the funds are coming from to pay for the opposition to the mosque. Is she out of her mind. Well, you know what I mean.
How about - we want to know where the funds are coming from - regarding building the mosque and we don’t want our money being used to help raise money to build the mosque.
In fact, we want to know where all of our money is going these days? Geez, what a racket. What nerve.
I wonder if Pilosi is trying to get Henry Reid investigated. Possibly he was asleep when Satan brought the contract around.
For a minute I thought this was fiction... Thanks for enlightening me.
Bring it on nancy.
If this is her allegation an investigation would be a violation of the first amendment.
Fixed it for her. She is certifiable.
They have no plans on being “out of power.”
Thats why they are acting this way.

Her signing off on BO’s eligibility for POTUS candidate needs to be investigated.
I was wondering the same thing.....
Well, in that case, dissent is doubleplus ungood.
This is Scrappleface satire, right?
If not, Nancything is stuck on terminally stupid.
Worthless fascist Botoxed pig!
Any note the irony of her calling for stomping on the free speech rights of those who disagree with her and her fellow thugs, while saying it is we who are stomping on the freedom of religion of the thugs who want to build their hate-center? Someone should remind Frau Pelosi that speech AND religion are both mentioned in the 1st Amendment.
If anyone should be investigated, IT SHOULD BE NANCY PELOSI.
Maybe she will be if the republicans retake the House in November.
We can always hope.
If Nasty had her way, she’d do a reverse McCarthy: Hold hearings to root out all adherents to the constitution or believers in free markets from any position in government.
P!ss on Pelosi.
P!ss on Islam, P!ss on the MSM and so on....
Exactly.
I take it Nanzi thinks Americans will submit.
Or that people will enjoy the public beheadings and stonings.
Or the hands cut off.
Or, that Americans will be bought off as a conversion.
Well, America?
DO YOU THINK THIS WILL STOP WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO DENY CHRIST OR DIE?
Christ WAS crucified. Muslims CRUCIFY.
Literally.
Bring it on....where do I sign up?
Too bad the sound is so bad on that video. You really have to strain to hear what she is saying. Maybe someone can get her to say it again so this can be passed around.
Another dem sponsored swamp draining, fishing expedition that’s nothing but hot air.
There was a lot more to it than that. Mormonism was, in its origins, very similar to Islam and was meant to be a theocratic system (where the civic society was ruled by religious law and the clergy). The Mormons were very aggressive and sowed fear everywhere they went, attacking wagon trains passing through “their” territory and essentially trying to set up a separate society. One feature of this was polygamy, but the real reason that Mormonism had to be defeated by the US is that it was an unconstitutional rival political system and it was attempting to spread itself through aggression.
Islam is exactly the same, and I think we would be fully justified in attacking it and driving it out. Mormonism was a new “religion” in the 19th century US and didn’t have a large number of followers, so it was fairly easy to get those who wished to remain part of the US to abandon violence, conquest and any of the features that conflicted with US law (such as polygamy). I don’t think Islam, which has been around a lot longer and has a lot more money and power behind it, will be willing to adapt, which therefore means that the only solution is that it must be forced out of this country and never allowed to get a toehold here again.
_itch. With a B or W. Both work.
Now I know I am living in an alternative universe..... =.=
Click the KCBS link in the article. That audio is perfect.
How dare the serfs question their masters.
The WTC Victory Mosque is New York’s version of the Al Aqsa Mosque on the ruins of the Temple Mount.
They even call it “the Cordoba House”.
Cordoba was the seat of the Islamic Caliphate in Europe when Muslim hordes conquered the Iberian peninsula.
She and her flying monkeys can come and investigate me all they want.

What a [omitted]ing a[omitted]e this Pelosi bitch is. Thanks kristinn.
“Typical lib, believing that all political points of view must be ginned up and funded.”
It’s called “projection”. They do it, therefore, they think EVERYONE does.
Liberalism IS a mental disease.
Ooh...investigate me, Nancy! Let me know when, I’ll get new highlights done.
