It seems, according to Salon at any rate, that the whole "ground zero mosque" meme is the product of a single right-wing blogger and, natch, Rupert Murdoch. So, what he's saying is, the media, and the New York Post specifically, took a straightforward story and blew it all out of proportion, just to sell more ads? Say it ain't so!
Look, I appreciate the clarification, but trying to pretend this sort of thing is the exclusive purview of The Vast Right Wing Conspiracytm went out the door when Journolist walked in.
I am all for freedom of religion however a victory mosque built at the sight of the worst act of Islamic terrorism is just wrong. It is a symbol of their arrogance and the fact that people are buying the story of how they are a religion of peace and tolerance is amusing and sad.
