Politics: What does the “Ground Zero Mosque” neighborhood look like?

  • Our AOL News article yesterday about the “Ground Zero Mosque” hit a definite chord, based on the comments we saw here and the comments the piece got there. (Over a thousand!) It was only a matter of time before someone scoped out the neighborhood for some of the items we pointed out, and more. (Nice work, Daryl Lang!) And let’s just say that “New York Dolls” and “Off-Track Betting” are just as beautiful as we imagined. source

U.S.: Obama totally in the camp of the “Ground Zero Mosque” builders

  • This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are.
  • Barack Obama • Making a spirited defense of the whole Ground Zero Mosque thing. Which we should note a couple of things about. One, it’s two blocks away. And two, it’s in FREAKING MANHATTAN, pretty much the busiest place in the world. Seriously, there’s so much crap there that there’s a strip club and a horse-betting kiosk within a block of the mosque’s planned site. We actually have an AOL News article coming out about this over the weekend. We’ll keep you posted. source
