Unreal: NBC Names Ground Zero Mosque Developer “Person of the Year”… (Projectile vomiting alert)
Weasel Zippers ^ | November 23, 2010

The MSM continues to fawn over this outrage at Ground Zero to show us common folk how “progressive” they are…Via Pundit Press:

NBC and its affiliates have been trounced in ratings over the last several years. With stations like MSNBC under their belt and liberals such as Matt Lauer and Keith Olbermann hosting programs, NBC is clearly disconnected with the average American. Another clear sign of their mismanagement: naming Sharif El-Gamal, developer of the Ground Zero Mosque, one of their “People of the Year.”

In an interview set to air on Thanksgiving Day, Matt Lauer sat down with El-Gamal and discussed the “Park 51 Project.” El-Gamal, who was apparently pleased to be named one of NBC’s people of the year, seemed very comfortable answering questions. The excerpt released so far shows that Mr. Lauer gave El-Gamal a decidedly softball interview. Here is a partial transcript of El-Gamal’s opening statements:

“There’s going to be a facility here that’s going to provide aquatics, uh, uh, uh, a gym, just like a Jewish community center or, or a YMCA. It’s going to provide, uh, much needed facilities to the residents of Lower Manhattan.”

Lauer responds that there is “one major exception” to El-Gamal’s statement, describing the 9/11 terrorist attacks. However, El-Gamal’s quickly responded:

“Not once have I held my faith accountable for the horrific events of 9/11. I am an American. I am an American who has a specific belief system, and my belief system, in order to be a Muslim you have to be a good Jew and a good Christian.”...

I think Time magazine is going to choose the ‘Wikileaks’ guy as their man of the year. That is a good one also for them...

Outrageous - but not really a shock. This is NBC, the Today show and Matt Lauer, after all. They'll get a blip of publicity, the Manhattan leftist contingent will cheer - and the networks ratings will continue to tank. That conservatives go bonkers over the outrage is probably the hope of the NBC geniuses behind this interview but at this point, nothing the left does surprises us any more and NBC is well down the road to complete irrelevancy, anyway. Screw 'em.

Like an attention-craving toddler, painting the nursery walls with his own feces.

Gee, do you think there's a connection there?

This is more than just sickening...it is bizarre.

It's been like this since Obama came on the scene. What's up is down, what's sweet is bitter, what's hot is cold, etc., etc.

It's like the Left has been subjected to a kind of inversion hypnosis!

As was reported on FR this morning, Fidel Castro believes Obama is a snake charmer. I see his point.

The idea being to pi$$ off their few remaining viewers, or to cultivate the Muzlim demographic?

Don't feel so bad, It was him or Nidal Hasan from Fort Hood, and Mat Lauer broke the tie! Talk about a hero.

And,...Note the morphing mosque narrative. For months Imam Rauf and his gang have been whining that the building destroyed in the attacks of 911 was not close to Ground Zero, but now they want to be included in the ground zero area’s geography. Got that, dirty kuffar?

Could conservatives buy enough stock in GE to fire the CEO, turn NBC into Fox #2 — another conservative voice?

I’m sure millions would buy 500-1000$ in shares. Takeover the company. Fire the moonbat leftists.
