Free Speech: The speaker of the House wants to know how opponents of the Ground Zero mosque are being funded. When Americans can be investigated for their opinions, our republic has arrived at a dangerous place.
In an interview Tuesday with KCBS in her home district of San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi said she's among "those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded,"and wondered how the issue is being "ginned up."
This is how tyrants act, not U.S. lawmakers — especially those two heartbeats from the presidency. Elected and appointed officials in this country have a duty to tolerate dissent, and in some cases even promote it. Our constitutional safeguard of free speech is one of the principles that sets us apart from repressive nations.
Caught in a corner she stumbled into by herself, Pelosi tried to "walk back" her remarks. But she failed to disown her previous statement. She merely added to it, saying she also supports transparency about who is funding the mosque itself. So her contention that the opposition needs to be investigated stands.
Should the speaker get her way, that will be some drawn-out probe. The number of Americans she would charge with being the "opposition" is considerable.
A Siena Research Institute poll found that 63% of New York state voters are against the Cordoba House. When polling all Americans, CNN found that 68% oppose the mosque, and Time discovered that 61% don't like the idea. Only 29% told CNN they favor the plan, while 26% in the Time poll said they support it.

And we still have no details about Obama’s Czars or how they’re being paid.

Interesting, too, that she thinks opinions can be bought. She wants to know who bought us.
Nancy, I hate to tell you this, but some people are able to think for themselves.
I don’t believe these poll numbers. No way that the opposition to the hamosque is less than 70%. No freaking way.
Nancy the NAZI needs to shut up and quit acting Like an Eichmann.
she’s going downnnnnnnnn
Old Nan would know about being “ginned up”, she practically is 24/7. Want some tonic?
This is who she is after, for one: Geller (Atlas Shrugs-(tea party link) blog) MOXNEWS video on Bill Warner Blog.Pelosi wants the Tea Party discredited in the eyes of the American People done NOW.PAMELA GELLER BLOGGER, BIRTHER, OBAMA BASHER, BAN THE MOSQUE AND ALL AROUND LOOSE CANNON
PELOSI cannot take down the whole Tea Party, so will go after its parts.
She has no problem with the mosque developer seen dating the niece of bin Laden who left America before 9/11 and returned in 2005 to be a rock star. The developer Sharif El-Gamal once a waiter, then a rental agent with his brother and wha laaa millionaires personified.
No instead Pelosi focuses on the bloggersphere, Tea Party connections..she'd probably like a talk show host thrown into the mix would make her day.
“Nancy the NAZI needs to shut up and quit acting Like an Eichmann.
she’s going downnnnnnnnn”
She could be found eating a corpse and she would still be elected in gayville.
I didn’t know we were being funded?
I want my share.
I want my share. <<
YESSS!...Nancy needs to hold hearings and make sure we get a Government refund for our time and effort!!!
I'm sick and tired of working on this for nothing!
LOL
