Couric: Mosque Opponents 'Tear Down Towers' Of American Values
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/24/2010 4:26:20 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

"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.

Surrendering to the enemy has never been an American value.....except to leftists.

Fixed it.

I know it’s hard for leftists to understand, but real Americans resent being sodomized by our enemies. Perhaps because being bent over a table is not unusual for those in the MSM.

Couric taking another crap I see?

I wonder how well that sort of behavior would stand if Ms. Couric were to be persecuted under sharia law.

The Secret to the Suicidal Liberal Mind

...
It is possible to perceive the passions of the Left as frenzies of masochism. What could be more idiotic and masochistic than to oppose missile defense? This opposition cannot be understood unless one dispenses with its rhetoric and rationales and realizes that these folks at their emotional core do not want their country defended...

You missed the best part of the story:

Marxist puppetmaster to slave: THIS IS THE BEST YOU COULD DO?

Slave: My lord, I am truly sorry, but Megan Fox wasn't interested and neither Lindsay Lohan nor Paris Hilton were available.

Marxist puppetmaster: OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

Sorry, but as of January 20, 2009 dissent officially became unpatriotic, nay, downright treasonous ;-)

It’s big-hearted of Katie to forgive islamism when it kills people, other than hers. /sarc

Here they go again with the liberal BS that tries to silence the opposition.

If I remember correctly there is a vast difference between freedom of religion and where it can be practiced. To my knowledge no one is saying they can’t build ANOTHER mosque, we’re just saying NOT THERE.

But, the liberal BS machines are trying to make it sound like those opposed are “unAmerican.”

Hey Katie and the rest of you BS machines....we are not stupid! We KNOW why they want to build a mosque on the twin tower sites. And, none of your flying BS will change our minds! Get over it!

I think the reason the left so strongly supports building the mosque, is because they (as they always have) believe that 9/11 was America’s fault.

Its been interesting to watch the change in opinion of my liberal friends at the office. They started off totally supportive of the O’s statements and lecturing about the 1st amendment. Now the narrative is, “It was stupid of him to say that” and they criticize the MSM for its attacks on the opponents and I think the one that got to my Jewish friend was the rabbi who compared the opponents to the mosque to Nazis.

Wow! Good point.

The liberals WANT everyone who goes to respect and mourn the dead at the base of the twin towers to see the spires of the Mosque a few blocks away.

Pretty cruel.

Hey katie colic, I guess it’s time for you to have another on the air colonoscopy to see if they can find you head stuck somewhere in the nether regions of your digestive tract.

If 70% are against and had voted for the (R) last election, we sould not have zero occupying the WH. This is the first time I agree with dingy hairy and howard dean.

No, Kouric didn't say nor write that comment herself. It came to her from the hierarchy at CBS, which in turn created it at the prompting of a desperate Obama White House. Notice how all the usual MSM outlets are singing the same “intolerance” tune regarding mosque opponents?

Katie’s next special should be on the wonders of sharia.
