Excerpt:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently warned darkly about the planned mega-mosque at Ground Zero: "There is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some." She added her voice to "those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded."
After being barraged with questions by those incredulous that she was calling for an investigation not of the shady funding of the mega-mosque itself, but of its opponents—thereby continuing on a path toward criminalizing political dissent that Obama and the people around him have a disturbing tendency to favor—Pelosi dug in her high heels. She did grant that "there is a need for transparency about who is funding the effort to build this Islamic center," although she called for no investigation. Instead, she reiterated her call to investigate those who dissented from her political line: "At the same time, we should also ask who is funding the attacks against the construction of the center."
Will Pelosi investigate Howard Dean and Harry Reid, now that they have come out against the mosque at Ground Zero?
