Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – Monday’s Multiple Mendacious Marching Morons edition

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.

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.
