It was a bit unclear what she was referring to, and now her office sends over a statement from her clarifying what she meant and sort of standing by what she said:
"The freedom of religion is a Constitutional right. Where a place of worship is located is a local decision.
"I support the statement made by the Interfaith Alliance that 'We agree with the ADL that there is a need for transparency about who is funding the effort to build this Islamic center. At the same time, we should also ask who is funding the attacks against the construction of the center.'
"For all of those expressing concern about the 9/11 families, we call upon them to join us in support of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act when Congress returns in September."

I don't want an evil masque built near 9/11.
Is pelosi the new sheriff in town? I though Holder was the AG; maybe they are one in the same person, after all, I’ve never seen them in public together.
And, another idiot is heard from.
Pres. Obama has to be a Moslim, at heart, and in reality and Pelosi and her fool followers are literally marching down the road to perdition, so to speak, by parroting the Obama’s mantra here!?

She’s a Nazi.
And an idiot.
Yeah, well....
I'm STILL against it, tempting though that thought might be.
Is there any doubt who’s side Pelosi and Her Band of Losers are on? What a disgraceful woman.
Even Pelosi will regret making this statement.
She will not live this one down.
in pelosi’s case I think a burqa makes perfect sense.
I think that the politicians should all flock to New York on September 11th when the rally for and against the mosque will occur.
They can then stand with those who represent the side they are on - that should make a very clear visual. The pics can then be used in the campaign for the mid-terms.

He offers a wide-ranging critique of the president’s (BUSH) faith-based initiative, focusing in particular on how it “undercuts the authority, the uniqueness, the power of religion.” He also talks about the “disturbing politics” he finds in the faith-based initiative and he addresses the question of whether politicians should put forth their political views based on religion.
I think in Nancy’s world, nothing happens on its own. Everything has to have an angle. Maybe it goes back to having to pay Union members to protest for things they are personally against.
