How else are you supposed to read this?
Tim Pawlenty:
"I'm strongly opposed to the idea of putting a mosque anywhere near Ground Zero-I think it's inappropriate," he said. "I believe that 3,000 of our fellow innocent citizens were killed in that area, and some ways from a patriotic standpoint, it's hallowed ground, it's sacred ground, and we should respect that. We shouldn't have images or activities that degrade or disrespect that in any way."
Pam Geller (the original opposition to the Cordoba project), when asked why strip clubs at Ground Zero are ok, but not an Islamic community center:
"Strip clubs didn't bring down the towers. It's faulty logic," Geller told TPM.
To be true, Palin hasn't been as bad, but even this:
"Ground Zero Mosque supporters: doesn't it stab you in the heart, as it does ours throughout the heartland? Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate."
Basically draws a mutually exclusive distinction between those that support freedom to practice the Islamic faith near Ground Zero and "peaceful Muslims". |
