Good morning, gentle people!
Monday’s upon us again, so let’s go into the secure area and pry the lids off a few assorted drums of Free Republic “opinion”, shall we?
And whose idea was it to let Scout(the brown pelican, not the blogger) in here? Maple Street – can you shoo him toward the entrance? We didn’t get him rescued and all cleaned up just to get Freeper toxic sludge all over him.
Ok – here we go!
First up – No Mosque Rat Love!

The New York City Landmarks Commission unanimously voted Tuesday to
deny landmark designation to the site of the proposed mosque near Ground
Zero, paving the way for the controversial community center and worship
space to rise two blocks from the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks.The commission’s chairman, Robert B. Tierney, said the
building at 45-47 Park Place “does not rise to the level of an
individual landmark.” The 11-member panel is appointed by Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, who has vehemently defended the mosque as an example of
religious freedom.The proposed community center has become the
center of an intense national controversy, prompting opponents to call
on the commission to grant landmark status in hopes of blocking the
plan.(snip)
One opponent sat quietly in the audience holding a sign that read “Don’t glorify murders of 3,000 – no 9/11 victory mosque.”
As
the commissioners left the room, an opponent in the audience asked if
any of them had lost a loved one during the terrorist attacks. The
opponent urged the commissioners to look into the cameras and “apologize
for this disgrace.”“I hope Mayor Bloomberg is satisfied,” he said.

To: markomalleySomeone ought to put a BBQ joint next door. This person will make a lot of money.
/div>
Which side of the nearby strip joint would you like to put iton? Or for that matter, which side of the “Mosque” that’s already there? And would that be the “Mosque” on 172 Allen Street, or the “Mosque” on 20 Warren Street?
To: markomalley
For that matter, what happened to the home schooling revolution?
To: markomalleyI wonder how much these morons were paid to make this decision..probably millions each..Check their bank records..
I also wonder how long this Mosque will stand..
As long as the Burlington coat factory?
Someone should bring
some hogs into the city and let them go after these terrorist(sic) blow the
building up for their new Mosque let these hogs run all over the ground
before the concrete is poured..
Yes, folks – they really are this stupid. Their deep knowledge of Muslim culture comes from boozy 2:00AM screenings of “Kings of the Khyber Rifles”.

Ah – I’ll have mine with mustard and onions.
To: markomalleyHopefully, it will meet the same fate as the Twin Towers did.

You God-damned moron.
Walt Kelly penned that phrase in his attack on McCarthyism. You know what McCarthyism was, dontcha, chump?
It’s fear-mongering and demonization of American Citizens by painting them as agents of hostile outsiders.Are you completely oblivious to irony, you ambulatory turd?
The rest of the cartoon which you conveniently removed shows what Pogo’s talking about – looking over the trash and debris dumped into his home by idiots like you who insist on fouling our collective nest.
To: TomGuy
In fairness to the commissioners the Landmark case was very weak.
They had no authority to rule on use or design or anything like that.
They were strictly voting on the Landmark status. I’ve covered hearings
like this many times in Boston: plenty of times opponents use a landmark
petition to try to stop a building plan they don’t like, but it is
usually a longshot unless the building to be demolished has true unique
historic significance, which is not the case here.Blame earlier votes on use/licensing, etc. It was already a lost cause by this point.

Looks like someone took an “unmaned” plane and flew it into your Grammar School.

More stellar stupidity after the jump…
Somehow, I don’t think you completely drew back the curtain over the utter nastiness and filth that has got to be pouring out of this site right now.
Thanks for that.
Seriously.
Thanks for that.
What’s always struck me about the place is that they’re exceptionally good at picking at the scabs of one another–much better at it than most mutually-reinforcing groups, right or left. They manage this by reserving skepticism on purely ideological grounds that are as much rooted in the religious as the political, in a way that renders even the marginally intelligent there as utter morons.
That’s a fairly rare trick, so it warrants watching for signs of metastisizing.
Still, I for one am glad that Tommy T’s doing it, rather than me.
more like the enshrining of stupid instead of looking down on it.
Interesting point, Montaq. I hadn’t thought of it like that.
And I am shocked by the Cowart photo. Don’t we decry them Muslims from making a photo or video while preparing for a suicide bombing?
And these strict constitutionalists – how come they are trying to take a hearing on whether a building fits the criteria for landmark status and decide it on matters that have absolutely NOTHING, I REPEAT NOTHING, to do with the building – such as did you know anyone that died in 9/11?
Because they aren’t Constitutionalists. The far right wing exhibits a single quality and lacks another. They show selfishness and lack self-awareness. Everything else is simply a cover story; a poorly reasoned and non-evidenced position that supports whatever narrative they are after at that very moment.
Pointing out inconsistencies in the narrative is fruitless because they don’t give a shit about the narrative to begin with: it is simply a convenient story. The whole Freeper mentality boils down to, “Fuck you, I got mine!”
Someone should bring some hogs into the city and let them go after these terrorist(sic) blow the building up for their new Mosque let these hogs run all over the ground before the concrete is poured.
That’s right, no mosque can ever be built on land that was ever touched by a pig, ever, no matter how fleetingly or how long ago, because ZOMG PIGS!!!
The powers that these people attribute to the other white meat are astonishing. On any wingnut site they’re brimming with ideas to stop those Mooslims dead in their tracks. Build a BAR-B-Q next door, bury dead pigs at each corner of the lot (make sure you lawyer up first), throw pig blood/feces/urine on the doorstep (ditto on that lawyer thing), walk your pet pig Fluffy by once a day. Because ZOMG PIGS!!!
