Why doesn't the righties just buy the "Ground Zero" mosque building?

[krispos42]

Has this occurred to any of the right-wingers that are oh-so-upset about it?


It cost a shade less than $5 million for the Muslim organization to buy it. Okay, then... Beck, Boehner, Hannity, Graham, Limbaugh, Gingrinch, O'Reilly, McCain, Savage Weiner, Palin, Reagan... everybody chip in to buy it. Hell, most any of these guys can pay cash for the building! How much does Limbaugh make a year? $20 million? $40 million?


Come on. Sure the Most Sacred of Sacred Places in Manhattan, Ground Zero, it worth a sliver of your large annual salaries. What's more important my right-wing media personalities, buying another vacation home or Honoring and Respecting Ground Zero By Keeping The In-Your-Face Terrorists Muslims From Denigrating It?

C'mon, badasses, put your money where your mouth is.


If you don't, I have to wonder... maybe you guys discretely funded the mosque simply to have an issue for the midterms. A very Rovian plan, turning Republican's stated support of religious freedom against Democrats who are supporting religious freedom.

1. Ding, Ding, Ding

That's right it's a controversy for the mid-term elections.

2. I agree. Then they would have their own place that can be a shrine

to their hatred and bloodlust.

5. never mind

it's not worth my time arguing with idiots

3. Exactly (re: the last paragraph). THEN what would they cry about for the next 4 months? NT

4. They're too busy giving that money to lobbyists fighting for tax cuts

The other righties are broke just like the rest of us and busy pushing for what their rich idols tell them will help them.

6. Call it the "Burlington Coat mosque"...

:shrug:

7. Is it for sale?

Money isn't everything to some people.

[krispos42]

10. It was because they bought it. And even if it's not on the market...

...if you offer them, say $6 million for a property they bought for $4.85 million, they might just take it and open up a Muslim community center in, say, Brooklyn, instead.

8. I thought that a "free market" could solve ALL problems

It doesn't seem to be working here.

In fact, RWers are appealing to BIG GOVERNMENT to solve their "problem" for them.

[krispos42]

9. Obviously, somebody thinks there's a market for Muslim religious services in that area

Okay, then, let a private entrepreneur try to tap that marker. The market will decide, right?

[Canuckistanian]

12. Yup, exactly

These RWers should be prosecuted for interfering in "interstate commerce" if ONE Muslim comes to the community center from out of state.

13. Because they would rather have a little temper trantrum
