Gingrich: Forget Ground Zero -- They Can Build A Mosque Near Central Park Or Columbia Instead

[zorocool1]

we soooo freedom so we let évil religion how whant to destroy come in our land....freedom or stupid....hum?

[hotstudguy]

THIS IS WRONG!! there should be no mosque built by ground zero, lets think about all those people who loss their lives to these crazy terrouist who flew planes into the world trade centres and the US government is thinking about letting the muslims do this? GOD how bad taste that is, NY city does not need a mosque or anywhere else. Not wanted in USA or Canada or even some other country, just in irag or some other eastern country a mosque belongs.

[giltedged1]

Islam is not a religion like Buddhism, Christianity or Hinduism. It is an Arabian desert doctrine imposed by force to supplant other countries' laws with its own despicable Shariah Law which does not tolerate democracy and individual freedom. We should guard against it being imposed on us by stealth because of massive foreign-funded immigration , political corruptees and appeasers

Legislation should be enacted removing its religious status and making it a crime to affirm that it is

[motorola99]

Gingrich sounds like the name of some disease. So are you going to donate the land your House stands on, in place of the Mosque land close to Ground Zero.

[computer241]

fuck that u know 3000 got killed by mosque cuse that what they teach in mosque is quran and quran is not relegion of peace is relegion of killin it dont mention any word that peace in quran is killin killin killin

[crispin1964]

I love it the way God brings people together......NOT!

[LefttoRightwingers]

is it ok to renovate the hotel where Martin Luther King Jr were shot?, to build General Lee Museum to "strengthen bridge&understanding" between black&white in America

[andyhwang2009]

Newt Gingrich is right.

[saper321]

All supposed YouTube atheists are now in favor of building a Ground Zero Mosque.

It makes you think doesn't it.

Fight Islam religion first because it is the most dangerous.

[BedWettingCons]

Funny how the fucking idiots on the right claim to know so much about our Constitution.

[1yonny]

You Terrorized Your Ex Wife You Phony Hypocritical Slim Ball Of A Human Being.....

[babablacksheep125]

do we need to ban churches anywhere near the thousands of places where people have been killed in the name of Christianity? or ban Japanese food anywhere near pearl harbor?

[MoonbatsAreDingbats]

STOP the bullshit. STOP sugarcoating it! STOP stuffing your feelings down. STOP being politically correct. The truth is THEY MAKE US SICK! They are HATED everywhere! The truth is THEY CAUSE TROUBLE everywhere around the world! We DON'T TRUST them. We DON'T LIKE them. We DON'T WANT them. It's as simple as that.

[DicktheBowler]

I say let them build it.

And when it's full to capacity drop a bomb on it.

[BeatManSpank]

@DicktheBowler lmao...that's a fucked up thing to say man. And even though I know you're just being facetious, the sentiment you express is exactly why I say it's a bad idea to build a new mosque anywhere near g-zero. Who the conspiracy minded believe to be the true party responsible for 9/11 is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that there would be an increased risk for more violence in an already volatile situation. If not solely to protect innocent lives, they needn't build it there.

[DicktheBowler]

@BeatManSpank I agree. But the arrogance of the group proposing the mosque should sound alarms. They say they want to promote healing, but in reality all they want is to become the one and only religion that rules the world with their backward beliefs and culture. Something as egregious as this mosque should be the lead story on every news network every day. But, the liberal media won’t touch it because we don’t want to hurt the poor wittle feeling of the muslims, so says our muslim president.

[BeatManSpank]

@DicktheBowler So you think Obama's a Muslim? Who gives a shit. It doesn't change the fact that a republican in office wouldn't be any better for our country. We already tried that remember? 8 yrs of Cheney and Bush's reign and look where it got us. Obama's no better, in my opinion, but at least he uses vaseline before he penetrates! All joking aside- Until we wake up and smell the coffee, Washington will continue to behave more like a corporation than a governmental body.

[BeatManSpank]

@DicktheBowler About the media: The problem is liberal AND conservative news outlets and how it has transformed our politics into sport while we the American people are the spectators- rooting for our favorite teams as the systematic brainwashing of America continues. As long as we're all being distracted by bullshit like this everyday, big insurance, big oil, and big banks will continue to push their dicks farther up our asses!

[TheCOOLbigGOV]

@BeatManSpank They are pushing it up yours only. For everyone else find another analogy, faggot.

[BeatManSpank]

@TheCOOLbigGOV we can discuss how gay I am face to face if you'd like. Please say you live in the bay area.

[BedWettingCons]

@BeatManSpank You should post you address in stead of hiding in the basement making threats.

[BeatManSpank]

@BedWettingCons Hiding in the basement? lol Nice metaphor Mr. Signifying Monkey. If he wants to meet me somewhere, within reason, no problem. But all you're doing is instigating. I would say mind your own damn business, but you're just another soft handed online shit talker. But you grow expect this sort of thing when you leave comments in a public forum. Thanks for the laughs.

[BedWettingCons]

@BeatManSpank  That's what I thought, typical

[BeatManSpank]

@BedWettingCons I know. It's so typical to find people uninterested in a mature debate on YouTube. Go figure. You'd think people would understand by now that it's not about defining party lines anymore, seeing as both political parties have proven to have their own price tags. Instead of people searching for common ground on tough issues, all you end up with is a cluster fuck of assholes all racing to humiliate each other. We're all guilty of it. Gets old after awhile. Don't you think?

[BedWettingCons]

@BeatManSpank Now that's funny, "mature debate on YouTube".

[BeatManSpank]

@BedWettingCons it is what you make of it

[TheCOOLbigGOV]

@BeatManSpank Mature debate? Yes, you are gay! Don't deny it. Just accept it. It's okay. Mother Nature creates freaks every once in a while. It's okay. =D

[TheCOOLbigGOV]

@BeatManSpank Mother Nature is a bitch and a bigot and she created LOTS AND LOTS of straight people like me who find homosexuality repulsive. I think it's might have to do with natural selection and evolution has deemed it fit that procreation is probably the wiser choice.

Maybe you need to look some place else.

[BeatManSpank]

@TheCOOLbigGOV Uh huh. And mother nature also created something called the flight, fright or fight response. There's a good chance I'd kick the shit outta you face to face John and you know it. Which explains why you hide behind your mouse and keyboard, venting your frustrations about everything in the world that scares you. Of course I'm not gay, but I think you actually might be. Time to come out of the closet Johnny Boy lmao!

[TheCOOLbigGOV]

@BeatManSpank Nice try, little Nancy Boy. In my experience kindergarten name calling always work. Faggots have been doing for some time. But I'm not saying you are one because you said you weren't one so of course I have to take your word for it even though I didn't ask and now your quick confession is a little fishy but hey, didn't you say are twelve and breast-fed by your sister on a daily basis? Was it you?

Btw, are they nice titties?

[pixID4]

even if these people are given the ok to build a mosque near ground zero, they won't last. because this story has gotten this mainstream it's unlikely they'd take the risk to build there anyway.

[julsHz]

This fear is not just about NY. In TN a mosque was approved (zoning) in Rutherford co. It has been vandalized and demonized. Candidates running for Gov. have called for outlawing Sharia law- says it exists in 22 co. already. Makes me wonder how often this happens all over the country. It also makes me wonder if this serves to further Bin Laden's predictions about tearing this country apart more than it serves the real interests of our people- Land of the Free?

[inmyforties]

muslims need their reverends sharpton and jackson. these fascist conservatives don't understand being voluntarily decent. they need to be cowed and forced into being descent and non-discriminatory

[bleunt]

Hey! Newt! American muslims were killed on 9/11. You fucking moron. 

[amazingyou1uber]

Building a mosque near Ground Zero will prove to every Muslim terrorist in this world that we are better than them. I guess we're not...since we have dicks like Gingrich.

[JIYkp]

Let's just all get along. There's no reason to cause more harsh feelings on either side.

[Rawinho]

100% agree....

[jag10]

Ok Newt we believe you, Radical Islam had the thermate technology which enabled them to freefall the area to profit in the trillions. Sure Newt, a handful of cave dwellers had the ability to scramble the Pentagon's trillion dollar defense apparatus among other things...

[tradernorton05]

if this fucking mosque is built, I sincerely hope its vandalized every day of the week.

Hell, I hope the fucker burns to the ground.

[BeatManSpank]

I'm a liberal, but here's the thing--you just can't have a new mosque being built in the same place where the nut job faction of that religion made a statement by blowing up the world's foremost symbols of economic power, killing thousands of people in the process. You just can't. And here's why: aside from giving our enemies a sense of victory, but how safe would that mosque really be? I'd guess, not very safe at all. I may be wrong, but keep in mind our citizens are pretty damn crazy too.

[CherryIce1114]

@BeatManSpank Its not directly on ground zero, its 2 blocks away, and in this country we have a little thing called religious freedom

[BeatManSpank]

@CherryIce1114 you totally missed my point---2 blocks isn't a lot and utterly negligible when you're talking about an entire country overflowing with more lunatics than it can already handle. I just don't think it'd be a good idea because of this. Plainly put, I'll say it again...they just wouldn't be safe there.

[CherryIce1114]

@BeatManSpank so how far away would be acceptable

[BeatManSpank]

@CherryIce1114 @CherryIce1114 Good question. Sounds like a something that the underwriters would need to work out before considering them insurable. I would guess that it would need to be far enough away from g-zero not attract the attention of the media or the "instant-patriots" that were created on 09/11/01. The problem isn't the location really; it's the fact that "news" has made such a stink about it, attracting the attn. of angry Americans. Case and point: tradernorton05's comment

[47f0]

@BeatManSpank - hey, man, I totally agree with you. Just as soon as we start bulldozing Christian churches around the neighborhood of the Murrah building bomb site in Oklahoma City. Because Christianity had as much to do with the Murrah bombing as Islam did with 9/11 - precisely dick. 9/11 was not an Islam attack - it was a geo-political attack from a section of the world that's just as pissed at our meddling for half a century as McVeigh was over our handling of Ruby Ridge and Waco.

[BeatManSpank]

@47f0 I think I might also agree with you, if the point you were making is that simple. (Conspiracy theories notwithstanding) What people BELIEVE is what guides their actions. So if hypothetically, the public is lead to BELIEVE that Grover of Sesame Street was behind the 9/11 attacks, when in reality it was Elmo all along (for whatever reason), Grover's new ice cream shoppe probably wouldn't be very safe should he decide to build it anywhere near g- zero. Poor Grover. lol

[QuasiEvilScott]

"I favor religious freedom"

"Dont build a church here"

Newt I'm not sure you know what freedom means.

[Wendy62]

@QuasiEvilScott: Newt knows what kissing up to his base means. Beyond that, he does not care to go.

[huskerbird1]

Hey, isnt this the same damn hypocrite that was bitchin about a Lewinsky BJ, whilst stickin his thingy in someone else, while married, what a damn loser.

[Boomer1949]

@huskerbird1 Yes and it's worse than that. His wife was dieing.

[Francebrasil]

I support free speech, after some one shuts-off the Fox sewer line!!!! Like they support free religion, at the location of their choosing!!!!

[doug47130]

They want to build there for one reason only and we all know what it is. To say otherwise is just plain foolish.

[mrcartoonmusicvideo]

get the book "son of hammas" author former radical, he compares islam to Nazi

[greyflcn]

@mrcartoonmusicvideo

Heh, actually if you want to talk about Nazi concentration camps.

That's a pretty accurate description of what Israel is doing to Gaza.

[mrcartoonmusicvideo]

@greyflcn true,agreed.israel was given a plot of land. and that should be it, they should build up not out. by seizing land that was not part of the agreed upon plot

is wrong. the embargo is wrong, the I kill you because you don't think like I do is wrong.

[whoo689]

It's 2 blocks away! Not "at the edge" of Ground Zero. It's still a good distance.

[Francebrasil]

Can Fox really help me sorting out where Mosques can be built??? Idiotic network!!!

[junkforkaryn]

there is no need for another mosque in new york if they've already more than 100. i'm a liberal progressive, and i don't wish to see new york end up like london--overrun by islamists, a sky line of minarets, and streets full of veiled women. religious freedom also means freedom FROM religion. if any other "religion" were spreading across the globe like wild fire we'd be questioning the motive behind it, so why not question the motives of islam? wake up people, this is not a matter of tolerance.

[greyflcn]

@junkforkaryn

Hah, you do realize that everything you just mentioned is also featured in the Christian Bible, right?

Although oddly, the head scarf thing for women isn't even in the Koran.

It is however discussed in some detail in New Testament of the Christian Bible, in Corinthians 11:4-16

And as I mentioned earlier, 1 in 4 people on the planet are Islamic.

greyfalcon (dot) net/islam

That all said, oddly I am an Atheist. And yes this is a matter of tolerance.

[junkforkaryn]

@greyflcn i don't get your point. there are entire islamic countries, that doesn't mean i want america to be one of them. the mormons and the talibangelicals would love to rule us all, so we must be diligent to keep them within their boundaries--same goes for islam. take a good look at yourself, you are using tolerance with the exact same knee-jerk reaction usually reserved for the conservatives.

[Reqrezentin]

WHO THE FUCK WOULD BUILD IT IN GROUND ZERO!

What a fucking moron, no one is going to build it at Ground Zero.

[PostSurgeOperative]

Gingrinch: " . . . let's be clear . . . "

Yes Newt, lets. He begins by telling us that he favors "religious freedom," but then goes on to discuss "mosques" while referencing the proposed community center, all while telling us that he opposes the siting of the community center anywhere near the center of the community. What could be more clear than that?

[GrandArchitect3D]

build one on the campus of columbia so the terrorists can be with their intellectual bed partners.

[RobertSeattle]

Typical wing nut - I believe in Local control - except when I want to want to butt in.

Let the NYC'ers decide and STFU.

[slimydick23]

I wish that he'd quit considering "Americans" and "Muslims" to be mutually exclusive. There were MANY Muslims killed in those towers, American, and otherwise.

As for the building of mosques, you're either for the constitutional right to religious freedoms, or you're against it. Newt seems like he's against it.

[xTheOxx]

"thousands of Americans"

Including Muslim Americans.

[entropyfu]

No comment. This topic is a typical bullshit republican wedge issue.

[CollapsingClouds]

It's 2 blocks away, people. Who cares?

[stama9]

Newt, fox and most of their supporters are all for sensitivity in denying others of their rights, but loaded weapons in the crowd where the president will be speaking considering the history of assassination in the U.S., no problem.

I wonder there if there is a single utterance by this man during his waking hours that isn't a lie.

[poop121]

LET THEM BUILD THE FUCKING THING AND STOP USING THIS AS A DISTRACTION FROM REAL, LARGER ISSUES

[greenguy249]

@poop121 fuck u bitch, let them build it somewhere else, there not going to spit in our faces by putting in a mosque at the place THEY blew up, so fuck u and the horse u rode in on, or camel in this topic.

[poop121]

@greenguy249

"THEY" blew up this place? Who is they? The people going to this mosque/community center? They played a direct role in attacking the WTC? I'd be happy to hear your evidence for this. Otherwise, sit the fuck down and stop making an issue over NOTHING!

[greenguy249]

@poop121 so what? u dont care about 9/11? u dont care that 3,000+ people died in this attack by people who believe this gay ass religeon? Go die in a hole u stupid obama following mosque loving homo.

[poop121]

@greenguy249

i have friends and family that worked in the world trade center at the time, actually. there is just no connection between this mosque and the attack.

[huskerbird1]

@poop121 Hey, good for you, then research the facts, you know, those other than the nist report, purdue university, or mechanics illustrated. all co-opted by the folks who brought you this mess. research metals in high temps. anything, you dumbass. Like Sgt. Schultz,,, you know nothing!!!! nothing!!!

[huskerbird1]

@poop121 sorry, misdirected, should have been in response to dumbass greenguy

[Iconoclastocles]

@greenguy249 - stupid + homo + mosque-loving, yeah, I see what you did there.

I get it, you fear and hate what you don't understand. Also, you're probably not capable of complex thought, the kind necessary to see that the strength of our country lies in honoring our core principles like freedom of religious expression, and how supporting the mosque being built isn't supporting terrorists, because only ignorant fucks equate entire groups with the actions of an extreme few.

[greyflcn]

@greenguy249

Something to keep in mind.

Islam has quite a few variations to it.

From the extreme sects in Saudi Arabia, to the very moderate in Indonesia.

Another thing to consider of course, 1 in 4 people people on this planet consider themselves to be Islamic.

greyfalcon (dot) net/islam

So "they" is an extremely prejudiced.

[greenguy249]

They BETTER NOT put this stupid ass mosque in, but then again dumbass osama (obama) will probobly let them.

[Iconoclastocles]

@greenguy249 - you're a dumbass.

The President has nothing to do with the local ordinances of the City of New York, the state laws of New York, this group that wants to build the mosque, or any decisions involving this mosque.

If you're offended then you don't truly value our country's traditions of religious freedom.

[greenguy249]

@Iconoclastocles ya but hes going to get his head in the wrong ass and hes going to want to get into peoples business again like when that cop arrested that professor and called it a "racial" act, the cop should of told obama and the professory to go fuck each other.

[Iconoclastocles]

@greenguy249 - weak. Face it, you've got nothing but endless angst. 

[grenavitar]

I favor religious freedom. In special religious freedom zones. After my approval.

[SailorCire]

@grenavitar Why can't I pray where ever I want?

[poop121]

can we establish the official cut-off zone for this supposedly big scary mosque? will these people feel better if it's 3 blocks away? 6 blocks? 12 blocks? can we just have a 12 block zone that is not subject to the ideas of freedom of religion and freedom of association? or how about we just seal off the entire island? no new construction on hallowed ground (all of manhattan?)!!

[tradernorton05]

I'm neither repub or demo, therefore I'm unbiased, and I absolutely agree with Gingrich.

[snipzor]

@tradernorton05 An independent who always votes republican?! What are the odds?

[ApollosPythia]

@snipzor dont cry you have lieberman

[tradernorton05]

@snipzor

I dont vote.

Perhaps you should'nt be so quick to assume......

[greyflcn]

@tradernorton05

I really doubt anyone is truly unbiased.

Although in this specific instance, it would be less of a conflict on interest if you said you were an atheist.

[poop121]

@tradernorton05

you oversimplify the situation, therefore you are an idiot

[tradernorton05]

@poop121

Please explain in detail how I "oversimplified" the situation.

Your rebuttal should be good for a laugh or two.

[poop121]

@tradernorton05

sure. one can be neither a democrat or republican and still have a bias. you seem to represent democrat and republican as the only political affiliations anyone has, and you seem to represent democrat and republican as the two extremes on the political spectrum (they are in fact pretty close to each other in most cases).

[tradernorton05]

@poop121

Sure others can be biased.

However, I'm certainly not--I refuse to be corrupted by the political hacks of BOTH parties who spend their waking moments telling others what to think.

I'm a very rare breed these days.

[poop121]

@tradernorton05

you are just, like such hot shit man.

[Iconoclastocles]

@tradernorton05 - we're all really impressed.
