"There is a debate to be had about the sensitivity of building this center so close to Ground Zero. But we can not let fear and rage tear down the towers of our core American values." -- Katie Couric's Notebook, 8-23-10 [emphasis added]

Hey Norah: Katie's stealin' yer lines!

As I noted here, last week Norah O'Donnell accused mosque opponents of acting "like the people who attacked America and killed 3,000 people."

In her "Notebook" of yesterday, Katie Couric sounded the same theme. Couric employed WTC imagery to claim that "fear and rage" [translation: animated mosque opponents] were threatening "to tear down the towers" of our core American values.

Oppose the mosque? You might as well be Mohammed Atta in Katie Couric’s book. Ping to Today show list.

Thanks governsleastgovernsbest. Have a great day, all!

“But we can not let fear and rage tear down the towers of our core American values.”

Perky Katie shaking the rocks around her little noggin again. When is her contract up?

[Rummyfan]

Eff this bee - otch. She doesn't even write these 'notes', simply reads them off the teleprompter. She wouldn't know a core American value if one fell out of the sky and hit her in the face.

Katie who? Oh yeah, Katie Courie, I remember her - didn’t know she’s still on the air...

[freebilly]

The usual suspects spouting the usual nonsense which is opposed by 70% of the American people. You think they’d get a clue....

[Allegra]

I'm not in the least surprised that Commie Katie would say something like that.

But I also don't think Katie knows what "core American values" really are.

[freekitty]

People like Couric and O’Donnell are not worth talking about, repeating or even acknowledging.

They only lie or speak from prepared scripts.

[BelegStrongbow]

This woman has no clue what waits for her under dhimmitude, assuming she doesn’t simply ‘convert’, assume the veil and disappear. Wonder if she’ll cope with that at all well..?

[Wyatt's Torch]

She should be arrested for robbery. To be that f**king stupid and get paid millions of dollars to read teleprompter lines surely is criminal.

That idiot Couric can go straight to hell with her mind numbing stupidity and simplistic, celebrity-brand ideology.

She could not connect the dots of reason and cause and effect if her life depended on it.

Empty headed talking faces like she have done real harm to this country.

Surrendering to the enemy has never been an American value.

[Lazamataz]

The left seems to be madly in love with radical Islam. It makes utterly no sense. The first to be killed or repressed in Islamic regimes are druggies, minorities, women, gays, adulterers and thieves, which is the Left’s core constituency.

[ilovesarah2012]

It’s a progressive value, though.

Dan Rather: "Oh, Mr. President, if only you knew how
much I and your other servants at CBS support, worship, bow, grovel and kneel to you.
We have faithfully covered up all your atrocities, Mr. President.
In their place for all future Husseins, we will attack our own Bush."

Shame, shame, shame on you Katie!

Using the twin towers reference as you have to try and project your point of view. You have a twisted, evil, insensitive little mind. First because you refuse to see that there is no abuse of the First Amendment at play by the opponents of this mosque being built in NYC. They (we, the majority of true patriotic Americans) just do not want it at the selected location. Secondly, because you tried to be...what, oh so clever, in trying to make a comparison of values being destroyed and employing the words "tear down towers" in your statement. Do you not see how repulsive that is?

I am so sick of supposed "journalists" like you who are not reporting the news or issues objectively, but inserting your opinions to try and influence people. If you want a job like that, become a talk radio commentator. But, I guess that salary would not satisfy your little, greedy, liberal heart.

[The Cajun]

I pray that our core American values will be unleashed soon, and Katie, you slut, along with your MSM accomplices will not like it, not like it one bit.
