NY town orders stop to Gaddafi tent on Trump land Tue Sep 22, 2009 7:03pm EDT

By Ellen Wulfhorst

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was having a tent pitched on property owned by Donald Trump in suburban New York on Tuesday until local officials stopped the work because it violated regulations, a town attorney said.

Workers were erecting a tent and satellites on property in Bedford, New York, that belongs to the famed real estate developer Trump, said Bedford town attorney Joel Sachs.

A famously eccentric figure, Gaddafi is known for pitching a large Bedouin tent on his trips abroad. He was scheduled to attend the U.N. General Assembly this week.

Gaddafi last month had plans to erect a tent in suburban New Jersey, where the Libyan embassy owns property, but the U.S. government said he could not use the land for that purpose. A request to set up his tent in New York's Central Park also was turned down.

A building inspector for Bedford tried to deliver a "stop work" order to workers at the scene but they did not speak English, so he gave the order to a property caretaker, Sachs said. It was unclear whether the work had stopped, Sachs said.

The roof of a tent and ropes were visible from behind a stone wall in a photograph published on Tuesday by the website of the local newspaper Journal News.

Just for old time’s sake, give the tent a FB-111 fly-by.

And wheresoever the Muslim foot had trod, shall be known as Muslim land forevermore.

It is written, I’m just not sure where.

Gaddafi should bring his down sleeping bag. Sleeping in a tent in New York is not the same as sleeping in a tent in Tripoli.

Gaddafi should have no trouble in getting a temporary permit to build his tent in this NYC location.

What, they couldn't locate an INS (USCIS) interpreter to help out?

“The Donald” has always been an idiot and a shyster. Just one more display of the “Room For Rent” sign that’s under his hairpiece or combover or whatever the fool has on top of his empty head.

Well gezz! Gad-Daffy Duck has to put his Harem of "security" guard women somewhere! Besides, you can't come to America without putting up a huge display advertising to Muzzies all over the world how easy it is to mock and disrespect American Christian culture, and showing how eager PC Democrats/liberals bend over and grab their ankles, asking if there is anything else they can do to make laughing stocks of themselves.

On the otherhand,

Imagine the outcry from international media, AFP, AP, along with condemnation from Key Moon Bat at the UN, if Bill Clinton set up a whore house in Saudi Arabi right next to the rock god temple in Mecca.

That would be the day you'd see American politicians insisting their cultural and religious rights be respected and accommodated. Instead, they toss on burka's and make fools of themselves, not knowing that Burka's are degrading symbols of how women are nothing but property of Muslim males who are not to speak unless spoken to, and satify every wim of their owners without question.

What country we've become.

It was written on the men's room wall at the “Goats are Us” right off the NJ Turnpike.

I’m curious how it was plumbed. I believe crapping on the grass is strictly prohibited in most places.
