Gingrich, Bolton, Breitbart Team Up With Far-Right Muslim-Basher Geert Wilders For 9/11 Rally
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/08/15/911-islamophobia-rally/

The right-wing group Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) has announced that it will be hosting a rally against the proposed Cordoba House Islamic community center on September 11.

The confirmed list of speakers includes former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, Andrew Breitbart, and, notably, the far-right Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders. “Islam is not a religion, it’s an ideology,” Wilders told the Guardian in 2009, “the ideology of a retarded culture.”

2. 'Stop Islamization of America'
This country is so full of hate these days that it's reached bizarre proportions. I am no longer proud to be an American.

5. Hate
People are not taking action in their lives to rid themselves of hate. People usually hate somebody out of fear or because they have been personally hurt by them. My question: Is why have people have been personally hurt by Islam?

Or they have been whipped into hate by listen to Fox News?

6. It was a matter of time before the date of 9-11 would be co-opted by political
extremists who are also opportunists. If you disagree with them, you also become labelled a "terrorist".

7. The republicans were not awful like they
are now years ago. Newt Gingrich started that with the contract for america. It was the meanest and most unproductive time. He is a hateful disgusting man and so are Bolton and Breitbart. They belong in jail. The republicans need a new mantra "yes to the people.'

9. The Republicans want to make this COMMUNITY CENTER a defining issue in this campaign?
Edited on Sun Aug-15-10 12:35 PM by Proud Liberal Dem
Well, we can play that game as well- starting with using all of the footage of this "event" to show a wider audience just what they're going to be getting if they choose to vote Republican (or stay home) in November. We as a party should be able and willing to embrace the contrast that they are apparently trying to promote.

13. Blomberg should deny their permit
for this....don't need hate speech on the anniversary...


Besides aren't there other ceremonies etc. planned already that will use the space? Usually there is a prayer meet and memorials done there in past years. Is it Newt's plan to sabotage or overshadow those?
