Refudiate

Little Green Footballs reports on the reality of the “Ground Zero mosque”:

It should be pointed out (again) that the “Ground Zero mosque” these idiots are ranting about is actually a proposed community center with an auditorium, swimming pool, and restaurants, in addition to a mosque. It would be housed in an existing 13-story building that’s two blocks away from Ground Zero and has no view of the area; there are two very big buildings in between the proposed community center and Ground Zero. Here is an embedded Google Map in which you can clearly see that the idea of this being a “Ground Zero mosque” is a ridiculous paranoid fantasy.

I wonder what wingnuts like Sarah Palin would say if anyone suggested dismantling fundamentalist churches near the site of an abortion clinic bombing. Considering how they lost their shpadoinkle when DHS released a “Right-Wing Extremism” report, I would imagine their heads would explode.

Or what if security officials began to profile white, conservative, Christian males who wanted to visit the Holocaust Museum? Or any government facilities in Oklahoma City.

    “Ground Zero Mosque” sounds malicious and sensational though! Even if its 2 blocks away and not even in plain view.More news at 11! Tune in to see this non-story! Our advertisers thank you.

    Driving home, I heard a talk radio caller say that he received an email today saying that Muslims do not have to buy insurance in this country because of their religious beliefs.Of course, he believed it and so did the host.

    I actually visited the OKC memorial earlier this summer, and there are in fact over a dozen churches within a 4 block radius. the Christian community has done a great deal for the survivors and their families and in fact, have a beautiful memorial of their own just across the street from the official site. (http://bit.ly/a85Umd) As Tim McVeigh was a catholic, I can only assume that these churches are a direct jihadi assault on the people of Oklahoma from McVeigh’s fellow religious extremists. Right?

    someone on MSNBC this evening (I think it was Karen Hanratty, but can’t be sure) referred to the area as “a shrine”.sigh

    Sigh is right. Adding fuel to the proverbial fire. Let’s hope none of her followers watch MSNBC. Somehow I doubt it.Her intelligence is questionable but her instincts are scary. She knows exactly what buttons to push and when.Her callousness is in using Ground Zero to further her hate and bigotry and forgetting many peaceful Muslims were also victims in the 9/11 tragedy.

    It’s actually a boon to Palin that they’re focusing on “refudiate” rather than her ideology. It’s inspired me to mint a new word, though mine is a little blue.http://klogtheblog.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/sarah-palin-and-the-new-k-word/
