Mega Mosque Masquarade

The Mega Mosque at Ground Zero is becoming quite the media darling. The exponential increase in coverage of this controversy has me looking at what the other hand is doing.

Not surprisingly, the mainstream media has taken their marching orders and is firing pro mosque propaganda on all cylinders. Over at CNN, on Anderson Cooper 180, guest host John Roberts interviewed Pamela Geller and essentially fingered her as the architect of stirring up the controversy, not bothering to consider over 60% of Americans and over 70% on New Yorkers are against the mosque being constructed in the proposed location.

Now, the Associated Press has issued a directive to continue to avoid the phrase "ground zero mosque" or "mosque at ground zero" on all platforms. Maybe if the media instructs us uninformed rednecks that the site is not in view of Ground Zero, we will believe it. Let me be clear. As I have said in the past, the Ground Zero Mosque is quite appropriate a name for the Cordoba Project. Although, I do have a fondness for Hamosque, courtesy of Rush Limbaugh.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D:CA), called for an investigation of those against the mosque at Ground Zero. Awash in her own arrogance, Pelosi is nothing short of appalling. Debra Burlingame, of the 9/11 Families for a Strong America, discussed Pelosi on Fox & Friends this morning.



It would be hard to believe that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a progressive who cannot contain his excitement regarding the prospective mosque, has any meaningful support remaining given the job he has been doing.

Count America's Mayor, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, among those against Bloomberg and against the construction of the Ground Zero mosque.



I am beginning to think the whole mosque episode is an example of the Overton Window theory. Yep, the same theory Glenn Beck's best selling book, The Overton Window, is centered around. Instigate some discussion outside the main boundaries and then walk the discourse back, resting at a place and "moving the window" closer to the desired area of discussion.

I continue to applaud the efforts and leadership of the mainstream media's villain, Pamela Geller, and others including Debra Burlingame, in leading the opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque.

The terrorists are still trying to kill us. Make a decision. You are with us, or against us.
