Probably, but I’ll add that Lazio appeared with Mitch McConnell, Dick Armey, Jennifer Graholm, Katty Kay, Paul Gigot and Jeffrey Goldberg.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.
But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.
“woke” is the new caravan.
She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.
Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!
“Alexa, change the president.”
The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.
Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.
There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.
People are weird.
Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.
Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.
The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.
There is no right way to do the wrong thing.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.
This chaos was totally avoidable.
“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”
I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.
Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.
Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.
People are complicated. Love is not.
This fight is for everything.
It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.
You are here: Home / Amanpour Isn’t Serious And Must Go

Rick Lazio may be against it, but at least they can count on Chuck Schumer and Anthony Weiner speaking up for religious freedom.
Oh…oops.

What a surprise. See my surprise face on?

I found an interesting article on the simultaneous demonstrations being held in Manhattan today in The Guardian. Rather informative.
On the other hand, the NYT seems to be assiduously ignoring both events. Hmmm.
The Guardian article said that the leaders of the project to build the community center, while on Amanpour’s show, said that they might be willing to think about building it somewhere else.
The Guardian article did not mention David Gregory’s show.

That lineup on MTP is the reason I haven’t watched that program in years, and affirms my hatred of David Gregory.
Bostondreams
I know that Jeff Goldberg has major failings, but I would just say that he has consistently defended the community center in strong terms, and really attacked those who have painted it with a terrorist brush. I DID NOT see him on Gregory’s show today, however, so I am not sure if that is still true.

The Bobblespeak translation should be the only mention of the dumbfucked-up-edness that is Fluffy.

Every time I watch David Gregory I think about Muttley laughing.

@Cacti: The _Weiner_ is hating it up on this? Jesus. I already had to turn on Dean. Now Weiner, too?
Least I’ve still got Franken.

I can’t blame those behind the project for now being willing to consider the possibility of moving it. After all, with the level of hatred being whipped up by the right-wing noise machine’s campaign of misinformation, it’s likely there’ll be some sort of violence against people at Cordoba House before long.
That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for *other* people to advise them that they should move. And it certainly doesn’t make the appeals to “sensitivity” any less anti-Muslim.
And of course if they do end up moving, then there’s no way to spin it as anything other than caving in to bigots, and the fact that it was necessary would say something very bad about the state of our country.

What kind of mind sees Lazio as any kind of paragon?
KCinDC
@Guster, last I heard Weiner issued a statement that said nothing one way or the other.
arguingwithsignposts
Why Dick Armey has any credibility with anyone is beyond me (c.f., Newt Gingrich). They were discredited, they remain discredited, and they are horrible, horrible human beings. Next up, on Meet The Press, Tom DeLay to talk about tax cuts!

@debbie:
Consider his competition for the GOP nomination for NY governor, and he’s a paragon by default.

@arguingwithsignposts: That’s why the TradMed is on the slow road to irrelevance.

@Calvin Jones and the 13th Apostle:
Is there some magical alternative media somewhere out there that is better? More objective?
Yeah, MTP sucks, but political kabuki abounds everywhere. Worse, wingnuts yearn to be comforted by the soft murmur of lies and scapegoating. And they get whiney and cranky if they miss their regular feedings, which is why Beck, Limbaugh and their gang continue to appeal to them.

@KCinDC:
Weiner is usually pretty nutty when it comes to anything to do with Pal/Israel but I think here he didn’t want to cross Bloomberg. So he just shut up.
Josh
Linda, the NYT’s had some version of this up since at least two this afternoon. The “Sharia Sharia Sharia” (say it soft and it’s almost like praying) photo was the first thing I saw on their website for several hours.
drkrick
Was this what it was like when McCarthy was ramping up?
Cacti
@Guster:
Weiner hasn’t quite done a Howard Dean and joined hands with the bigots.
He just can’t seem to find it in himself to speak up in favor of religious freedom.
Breezeblock
Granholm stood up to Penis Armey.
But she’s a damn Canuck.
tkogrumpy
@drkrick: Yes.

@Linda Featheringill:
But do they really think that would silence the “controversy”? People in TN, KY and CA are protesting mosques that are being built in those respective states. So, let’s assume they build it elsewhere; is there any doubt that people will start protesting their new location?
And, oh by the way, there already is a mosque four blocks from Ground Zero. It has been there at least since 911. Why has that one been OK?
jazzgurl
It is the MEDIA stupid. Just the choice of guests affirms their racist tendencies!
