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.
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.
