Danny,
It's always a good idea NOT to admit that you ever have listened to anything that Keith Olbermann says. It's almost like admitting that you liked Pee Wee Herman. It's just wrong, man! LOL!

It would be better to listen to Charles Krauthammer - "What happened was the President made a strong statement, hailed as a courageous one at the Ramadan dinner. But it wasn't a matter of courage. Courage would have been, at that audience, a Muslim audience, he should have said, "Yes, I believe in the legal right. You have every legal right to do it. But I would appeal to you as Americans -- after all, I'm the President. I'm not a judge, I'm not the Supreme Court, I don't decide on legality, but as President I speak on behalf of the spirit of America -- that you ought to consider the decency and propriety of establishing a house of worship dedicated to Islam at a spot where people were murdered in the name of Islam." Obviously, there's a distinction between the murderers and the religion, there's no question about that. But this is a place where you might want a nondenominational place of worship as you have in hospitals, a place of meditation. But establishing a mosque in that area is a provocation. The President should have said that. He didn't. He missed an opportunity. And I think he alienated all sides here."

Now that is clarity!!

Why did we go into Iraq, again? I don't mean the real reasons or the naked vengeful blindness that enabled the forging of a non-existant connection between Iraq and 9/11. I mean, the official explanation. To free the world — and especially Iraq's citizens — of the tyranny of Saddam Hussein. That's its supporters' defense of the invasion, to this day. Well, who lives in Iraq? Muslims.

I hate to reveal this to anybody on the Right who didn't know this, but when they say Iraq is 65% Shia and 32% Suni you do know that Shia and Suni are both forms of the Muslim religion, right?

We sacrificed 4,415 of our military personnel in Iraq to save Muslims, and there are thousands still there tonight to protect Muslims, but we don't want Muslims to open a combination culinary school and prayer space in Manhattan?

Olbermann NAILS IT!!!!

Why did they choose that particular name for the Islamic Center?

What are we then, Mr. Gingrich? And by the way, a point Mr. Gingrich has not even whispered as he has shouted fire in a crowded theater—when the historical implications of Cordoba were made clear to the backers of this project, the property developer, Sharif Gamal, changed the name. They already compromised.

"We are calling it Park 51 because of the backlash to the name Cordoba House," he told the Financial Times. "It will be a place open to all New Yorkers and that is a very New York name." A very New York name. Like "Ground Zero." Except this place — Park 51 — is not even at Ground Zero, not even 'right across the street.' Even the description of it being "two blocks away" is generous.

It is two blocks away from the northeast corner of the World Trade Center site. From the planned location of the Setp. 11 memorial it is more like four or even five blocks

Geographically correct from someone who has walked these streets ....

Maybe 10 blocks away is too close ... for the fascists.

Maybe no more mosques for the zealots would be enough?

Interesting.

What name, Sam?

Let's hear the Gingrich explanation of the non-name of Park 51.

Politics of fear from those who would claim to love Liberty.
