I have never seen such a bunch of tone deaf, out of touch, Politicians in my life.

AUDIO - Rep. Pelosi calls for investigation of WTC mosque opposition

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, called for an investigation of those who are protesting the building of the Ground Zero Mosque on Tuesday. She told San Francisco's KCBS radio:

AUDIO

"There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded," she said. "How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we've been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City." (h/t Kristinn)

Calls to investigate the funding for those proposing the $100 million "Cordoba House" have fallen on deaf ears, though, as New York's Mayor Mike Bloomberg has described such an investigation as "un-American."

What is a Rep from Calif doing commenting on this anyway?

That woman has no business in public office. She is disgusting.

An investigation into how the opposition is being funded? Is there REALLY a national security issue here?? Has there been a credible threat?? Has there been any reported or attempted violence?? A bigger issue one than looking into the funding of the mosque itself?? I'm not calling for that, but it makes more sense to me than worrying about "investigating" the opposition. Talk about Gestapo tactics.. Holy crap!! You protest something we support, expect a call from some stealth organization.

Seriously... I've stayed out of this debate other than to say they have the right to do it, but it is insensitive.... but I can't believe ANYONE on the left can support this as reported.

I don't think there should be an investigation but I do agree that this is being pushed by Republicans for political reasons.

This is coming from a woman who accused the CIA, the people that give Obama his daily security briefing, a bunch of liars and then failed to offer any proof. Where was that investigation?

This b1tch has got to go. I thought Janet Reno was the #1 b!tch of all time. Pelosi has taken over the #1 spot.

I know you(and SOAF) lack intelligence so I will tell you what I meant. Notice I put the questions in bold? Notice I was answering those questions? Still don't get it? THen there is nothing I can do to help you.

Did Pelosi call for it??

Surely you understand there is a difference between a reporter engaging in a background check and the Speaker of the House calling for an "Investigation" into something. Reporters doing so is what they do. A "Congressional Investigation" is a SERIOUS thing.

If it IS being pushed by Republicans, SO WHAT? A poll shows New Yorkers don't support it. Is it okay to "investigate" this because it is being backed by Republicans? I mean, FORGET the fact that it is unpopular with the people... We need to investigate these protests because the opposing party might be behind them. You want people to cut back on the Nazi comparisons, stop acting like them.

Your maybe and probably responses are without basis. None has been reported, so unless Pelosi is leaking classified information, the answer is officially "no".

C'mon Robert. Get real. When the speaker of the House "calls for an investigation", it's a big deal. The woman is power-mad

Well, if republicans can have useless investigations about nonsense, then we can too.

Wow. Even Dirty Harry managed to keep his foot out of his mouth.

How is, "That rightie writer did and didn't prove anything" a coherent answer to, "A bigger issue than one looking into the funding of the mosque itself??"

She knows what she's doing. That statement is the kind of thing that the people in San Fran love her for.

She knows she'll be out as Speaker in a few months, so she can show her true feelings.

Ok. There was a rightwing nutcase writer that wrote an article about the "links" to terrorists(this article was posted on this board). I then responded the article di nothing to prove what the writer set out to prove.

Oh it could be pushed because republicans oppose the mosque

Funny thing is when Michelle Bachman asked the press to look into anti American attitudes of elected officials calls of McCarthyism rang out. When Pelosi calls for an investigate off American Citizens who oppose a mosque being built near ground zero there are crickets from the MSM..

This is being pushed to create a haven for Democrats to show their opposition to Obama on the campaign trail while taking the spotlight off all their pro-Obama votes.
