Rachel Maddow deconstructs "Ground Zero Mosque" hate festival Pt 1

Rachel Maddow sums up the hate & fear mongering over the Mosque--that's not a Mosque--being built at Ground Zero--that's not being built at Ground Zero. Maddow highlights the hypocrisy of Right Wing professional assheads like Glenn Beck who have supported the Cordoba Initiative's Imam Raof in the past only to turn on him now that their hate/fear mongering has found an audience. And Maddow points the finger at the forces behind this controversy--Anti-Muslim Bigots like Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and Frank Gaffney--and speaks to Bush Era Conservative Muslim Suhail Kahn about how Geller and her ilk operate with McCarthy-esque smear campaigns meant to purge Muslims from government positions.

No wonder no one watches this butch bull dyke. She spins more than Liberace in ballet shoes. "Scare white people" What the hell is she talking about?

[FistThingsFirst]

@faroutadventures it's self explanatory--people who once celebrated inter-faith understanding with this particular Imam are now fanning the flames of fear to scare people about the very same man.

Rachel is the male version of keith olbermann. They are basically paid to tell me what fox news said with their version of it. What is wrong with the media. I want news not just backandforth bashing all the time. As far as the moque, get over yourselves, forget the rights,etc,etc,etc, Its not perceived well, just like a business if ppl were bitching about it, prob not a good idea to start it. Why force this. I dont care about ur mosque, but ppl do, ALOT do, so deal with it.

@upinya25 i hear you what you are saying but just because a lot of people don't want it there doesn't mean they should get their way.  it's not an adult bookstore that wants to move into the neighborhood it's something that our constitution is supposed to protect--not only when it's popular but especially when it's not.

Fear rots the mind, its how they keep the people ignorant and paralyzed...A history professor of mine predicted this 10 years ago, he said the communists were the red scare and the Muslims are next, he called it the 'green' scare.

@3434arc1 sounds like you're another one of those "the muslims are coming, the muslims are coming" types. sorry dude, it's not happening. al qeada is a very small concentrated group of hate-filled people distorting one of the world's major religions. It's a cult-of-destruction, not a mass-movement bent on world domination. they have dreams of world domination, of course, but it is our imperialist overreaction to them that's fueled their fevered dreams and swelled their ranks.

And here is DEMOCRAT TV! the peoples channel of propaganda against the people.

[weseyedwalk]

This video is stupid, so basically concerned people try to make peace with muslims and you are making fun of their hypocracy? So basically they shouldn't try to make peace? Oh the contradiction of Rachel Maddow.

[weseyedwalk]

@FistThingsFirst You sound like another one of those 'muslims are a peaceful religion, pay no attention to the babies and elderly they hacked up in Nigeria with swords for being christian, nothing to see here. Your ignorance will get people killed.

[weseyedwalk]

@Ghazzawi9 You seem to have fear confused with awareness, do not mix those two up, Americans are not afraid, we are aware. Many people do not want this awareness to exist because of THEIR fear which is ironic. They fear us, we will not give into fear and that is something to be afraid of.

Just let them build their mosque. The first order of business will be their stoning of Racheal Maddow for being a lesbian. I promise, we'll look the other way!
