Gingrich to Obama: Come Out Against Building of Mosque

Coming from Gingrich this is no suprise. He’s a known bigot. He’s known for having the morals of a prostitute. Obama has said all he needs to say on this situation that is local to New York City. If 2.5 blocks isn’t far enough way for some people, 100 miles won’t be far enough. The radicals and bigots need to be bypasses so that a wider and mroe reasoned understanding can take over.

George, do your job. There is no new masque planned for New York! Its a community center. This is just a fact! Second, Gingrich is a waste of skin! You might as well have a skin head as a contributer. But a skin head would most likely say the same things as good old Newt. I’m sure both feel the God is on thier side.

Mr Gingrich you need to restore your values to this country (forget about your personal life.) Your declaring the Muslem religion as our enemy is an example of a narrow minded person who is looking to be elected to something. Forget it… Your own president said that it was not the Muslems who bombed us and now you are contradicting him. My surprise is that he is not coming out and restating his original views. Many Muslems have lived in the U.S. for years with no problems but the climate of today is filled with hate and fear of anything different or anything that does not fit the mold of some people. What happened to we are all welcome and are most of us are good people. I consider you no better than a spy to come out with your statement.You are hurting not helping this country as there are enough crazies out there which you are firing up with your negative rhetoric of hate. You,Palin,Limbaugh,Hannity have done a number on this country with your spewing of hate and lies. You pretend to love this country and yet all we hear out of you and Fox is hate and lies. Mr. Rupert needs to also watch who he is friends with. Check out who he is investing with.. What happened to the republicans party? It is being filled with people who have limited ideas and bad ones and the good people of years ago are afraid to stand up to them because they want to get back in power. Remember, the republican candidates are not the ones winning..it is the tea party nuts and they will eventually take over a party that I once belonged to and I feel badly about this. It will be hard for you to get them out once they get in so you better think on your values. They want to take us back 20 years in regard to religious freedom, freedom to choose, racial freedom,do away with our education dept. which is finally achieving good things under Obama. I am not interested in privitizing our soc. sec. dept. keep your hands off it and I believe the health care bill will in the end be good for all. We do need the sanctions on the banks, insurance companies and oil companies but these people will remove them and we will be back where we started. It is a shame the once respectable republican party is the party of no help the the people who really need it..unemployment..they say no…small business loans..they say no. This is not the party I once belonged to..it has changed and not for the better. As to the tax cut for the upper 2%..they have had it for 10 years and look where we are ..in a recession. They have not helped this country only their pocketbooks.They are sending out their products to be made in other countries cheaper but we do not see a lower price, in fact prices are rising so I ask where is the sense in allowing them to keep it? This recession did not start in 2009 but in the last eight years when they had this tax break and it did not result in good things for this country.

If the community center in New York has a fundraiser I will send them money. Any one who adds “BUT” after saying “they have the right” is just wrong! It’s either equal rights for all or we loose part of what it means to be an American. Hitler had the Jews and some good christians now have the Muslims. Both were proved wrong by history.

It takes SSSooo much energy to decipher the reality of ANY political situation…I marvel at your perseverance, George! My focus is on the personal subconscious side. I thank you for trying to “simplify” THE WORLD STAGE with your “Must Reads.” Without following you…I’d be TOTALLY ignorant…Or, perhaps THE WORLD truly HASN’T PROGRESSED IN 5000 YEARS! Check out Larry Couchmanos’ new book.

The Pastor in Florida has a right to burn the Koran but it is wrong. The mosque is no different and the president should say so. It is not a local issue, the attack was on America not just NY.

thank you George! I appreciate your willingness to stand up for this nation since apparently our president can”t do it.

Newt is so stupid! Where was he when Obama said…”although they have a right to build it there, I question their decision.” – which clearly means “I don’t agree with it” in a Presidential way – a way Newt wouldn’t understand.

I commend Mr. Gingrich for coming on your show and speaking out against the burning of the Koran. However, I think it’s morally bad to burn ANY church in ANY location, not just the Koran church. I don’t think it matters where a church (despite it’s denomination) is located – no one has the right to tell someone, “I’m going to burn down your church because I don’t like what you believe. Pastor Terry Jones needs to have his head examined and thrown out of the church. He should not be allowed to remain a pastor because his beliefs are out of character for a Christian. He should be ashamed of himself for his unforgivable actions he is entitling himself to.

Newt is just one of the reason I will vote Dem. The GOP has been taken over by morons.

Newt Gingrich’s United States Constitution reads…”Freedom Of Religion,…except for Muslims”…is this truly the face of the “New” Republican Party, or some backwater John Birch Society revival?

Obama has no intestinal fortitude.

Sorry, but you liberals are as naive as you are vitriolic. The ground zero mosque will be a global victory monument to help recruit for future jihad. Why else does it have to be at ground zero? There are over a hundred mosques in New York, but they’re not enough? And please stop lying about the mosque being “blocks from ground zero”. The mosque site was damaged by pieces from one of the planes that destroyed the towers. That’s why the mosque developers were able to buy it so cheap. The mosque site is part of ground zero, not blocks from it.

Whatever Obama does he will be criticized by one side or the other. He has to stand up for the constitution especially as a lawyer and president. He has personally said he thinks it is wrong and that is as far as he can go because if he takes steps to stop it, he will be accused of ignoring the consitition and the republicans will bring him up on some charge of abuse of power. He is in a bad spot and cannot do more than what he has done.

People in this country need to wake up! Muslim people want to take over our country because they do not want a democratic society, in any country. They hate the US and we just let them all in here. This will be our demise! Starting with our leader who has never committed to a church and prays in a chapel in the White House. Ask Israel if Obama is a plant for the Arab world and they will tell you, “yes”!! Wake up before your country is taken over by Arabs!!

Joyce Fisher | Sep 10, 2010 1:22:58 PM — There is no more evidence that Muslims want to take over the country than the Christians want to take over the country. The 9/11 attack was committed by terrorists, not Muslims. The KKK back in the 40s and 50s were terrorists and not Christians. The KKK used religion to justify their hatred and killing of others. The few Muslims in our country preaching hatred to Christians is no different than the few Christians in our country that preach hatred against the Muslims. NYC has one of the largest concentrations of Muslims in America and they don’t have a violence problem with them. It is foreign terrorist that want to be dictators of the world that we are having problems with. And just like the KKK, they use their faith as the excuse for their actions. Over 90% of the innocent people they kill are Muslims.

Newt haven’t said a “mubbling” word to his fellow Terrorist in Florida to stop this “Unchrist” like ACT. Now should we all Condemn all German Immigrants because of what this “terrorist German Immigrant” has done to Undermine Our Soldiers, our safety, our country?

Mr. Gingrich didnt say anything in this interview to inspire such hateful blogs. The man was extremely level headed and never once stated that he was against the Muslim religion. He simply said that a measure of evenhandedness for both sides of this argument was called for. Resorting to name calling doesnt help any of you state your points. The argument that if you disagree with the Muslim idea you must be a bigot is simply absurd.

the last thing the country needs is Gringrich again. Hypocrite and political opportunist. Of course, Obama should come against the victory mosque but since he is already on record as supportive if he came out now against than Gringrich would say Obama flip-flopped! His fellow Moslems should encourage this crazy Imam to move the victory mosque. Just out of kindness, common sense, and decorum. Just like Christian tell the crazy pastors not to burn the koran. Sure it is legal but that doesn’t mean it is a good idea.

burn all religous books from all religons
practiced by these pagans
countless murders committed in the name of their gods

gingrich is a false witness-besides being a racist and an islamophobe.
The infamous small time “Christian pastor” was inflamed by the rhetoric of gingrich and politics of fear an dhate.
gingrich would not dare to open his big mouth if it were a syngouge to be built near G0. jews are tearing down mosques in occupied Palestine and just buldozed an ancient Muslim cemetry in occupied Jerusalem:where is gingrich???

The President made himself clear about a month ago…except to those that doesn’t Want to know the Constitution. Made we now say…A church cannot be built near Gainesville Florida? Afterall, this Terrorist supporter by political terrorists is Blaming 9/11 on All Muslims. Sad for America.
Newt Gingrich, Palin and Boehner is attempting to create an Attack on our Country with their ignorance and “hate-baiting”…..Wake up America!!!

The republicans and the likes of Newt, Palin, Boehner and Beck would like nothing more than to have our country attacked again by a few muslims radicals. The current President is clearly keeping our country safe, with more terrorists being taken out…it is killing them to know that we aren’t running in fear of “them” anymore. Aw, but some are still running in fear because of their “fear-mongering”. Shame on them.

Disgusting how you Americans turn every event, even sad ones into a business/political circus for profit…
I would love to find out who sold the land/premises to the moslems (and of course for how much)…, so that they can build their cultural center cum praying rooms near the 9/11 center!(NOT that I mind)
Personally I am indifferent to all this topic, as it is being blown out of proportion for personal/political gain…Shame on you …

Honestly, this entire debate about the proposed “Islamic Cultural Community Center” is baseless! If ALL the news networks were interested in reporting the information responsibly they would let Americans know that there are several existing Mosques in the immediate vicinity of Ground Zero that are much closer than this proposed project. Additionally, the debate only deepens the growing divide between religious and racial groups in this country and abroad. How is that productive for anyone? America cannot progress until we all learn that our similarities as human beings far outweigh our individual differences. Every human being in the world shares 99.9% of the EXACT same DNA and only .1% makes up our individual differences, so would it be so easy to hate if this knowledge was universally known?
George and the entire ABC News team, do your job and stop fanning the flames of hatred in the name of spirited debate. Trust that news can be just as interesting when it is informative and honest.
Our President deserves our support on this as he has done exactly what he was supposed to do, uphold the principles America was built on… Freedom of expression in all forms.
Tell the truth and end this hate baiting because lives are at stake and people are not mere casualties, they are people!
Perhaps if the doors of communication were opened we may learn to settle conflicts peacefully, even when we agree to disagree.

Just Stop it. Not only will they build but the U.S. Goverment will in someway help fund it. Also get a clue we are at war with them.

Any one complaining about the way the lame stream media has handled Obama as somehow unfair needs their head examined. Obama has had a love affair for two years with the lame stream media. They have never asked him even a semi tough question. Actually Correspondent
George Stephanopoulos came the closest but it too was soft ball.

Nobody seems to question why the targets were chosen. If this was a religious thing, then why was the National Cathedral destroyed ? How come no=one is bombing Rome? There needs to be a deeper discussion than quotes from the Koran versus quotes from the Old Testament, the Book of Mormon, Christian Science & a guide to the Scriptures, the Gospels, the Epistles of St Paul or the U.S.Constitution.Send the children home and have a proper debate about the place of Capitalism in the 21st Century

Gingrich is an idiot. Why on earth would the President of the US refuse American citizens the right to purchase and build a community center, which happens to have a Mosque for worship? Whether it be two blocks, ten blocks or right smack on top of ground zero.That goes against the constitution and the responsibilities to the people of the US.He’s the President for all, not just a select few. What about the Muslims that died at ground zero? What about the Muslims serving in our military to protect our freedoms? Where’s the outrage about the gaping hole at ground zero? What about the 1100 plus uncovered bodies that are still there? There’s a Mosque in the Pentagon why isn’t Newt protesting that? What about the Mosque 4 blocks from ground zero that’s been there for over 40 years? The whole argument is ridiculous and Newt is nothing more than a politicizing idiot. Using the ignorance of people to gain political ground is disgusting.Well, what should we expect from a man that dumped his wife via a phone call while she lay suffering with breast cancer in her hospital bed. Now there’s a guy with morals.

There is a lot of difference between Rev. Terry Jones & Imam Faisal as between Extremist and Moderates.
American Muslims & Imam should exercise the right to build the mosque where planned to demonstrate that acts of extremist shall not affect moderate and peaceful American people.

Mr. Gingrich..you are doing more to fuel the fire of hate with your distorted statements. President Obama is doing what the Constitution demands, freedom to choose what religion you want. Many of these Muslems are fighting in this war which your party started….what can we tell them…fight for us but we don’t like your religion? You are causing more unrest and uproar with your negative statements and many have come out to say this. If you think you are scoring points..think again.

Newt Gingrich is another blow-hard republican with no common sense, no morals, and with no concern for our nation. All he cares about is Newt Gingrich.

“How do you give that speech and do what you’re doing?”

Newts response;
“It doesn’t matter what I do,” he answered. “People need to hear what I have to say. There’s no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn’t matter what I live.“

Oh, Newty…
How does it feel to be such a liar, pants constantly on fire…

I agree with Gingrich. Obama was eager and rude to barge into public discourse with his snarling advocacy FOR building a mosque at Ground Zero — as he has been eager to lobby for Islam in general throughout his use of the White House — but note he is utterly silent if not appearing fearfully embarrassed when asked about any other faith, including having a lunch with Netanyahu in the White House (Obama excused himself from that and left the visiting Netanyahu to dine alone).
Obama IS NOT behaving in keeping with any separation from religion. He’s eager to speak in favor of Islam, lobby for Islam, court and spark with Muslims, use the White House to “celebrate” Muslim “holidays,” but, in the contrary, as President, refuses to acknowledge the National Day of Prayer as it’s been previously associated with Christianity (Christians created the holiday, have traditionally upheld and celebrated it — suddenly Obama refuses to even acknowledge the national holiday, appearing quite ashamed of it , yet he uses the White House and the Presidency to eagerly ridicule the nation about Islam, on Islam’s behalf).
To be “fair” as President, Obama got himself involved in the mosque issues which he never should have, regardless of what may be his nefarious, prejudicial beliefs in support of Islam to the demeanment of other religions. Now that he IS involved (by is own choice), he should be showing some reasonableness in the Presidency and speaking out so vociferously on all religions. None or all. So far, he’s only behaving quite so emotionally when the issue is Islam when Islam is in need of defending.

Mr. Gingrich, you need to not say too much, it might get you in trouble.
