A videographer at the mosque rally sums up what he saw during this confrontation....
A man walks through the crowd at the Ground Zero protest and is mistaken as a Muslim. The crowd turns on him and confronts him. The man in the blue hard hat calls him a coward and tries to fight him. The tall man who I think was one of the organizers tried to get between the two men. Later I caught up with the man who’s name is Kenny. He is a Union carpenter who works at Ground Zero. We discussed what a scary moment that was for him.
Glenn Greenwald observes that the video “shows some extremely ugly stuff that’s been unleashed.”
Here's your people lisa! See these hateful bigots attacking a man just because of his looks? What the hell are these morons afraid of?? There are mosques all over this country and have been for decades upon decades. Islamophobia, Obamaphobia, it's all intertwined and it's the evangelicals call to bloody holy war. They are salivating over a war based on religious superiority. Go ahead people put these kinds of hate mongers and war mongers in our government, just as long as we have gotten rid of the Christian half black president you don't care who replaces him!
this second video I stumbled upon on YouTube, it's pretty cool...

I was just about to change a word in the post, religious rights to.. religious superiority
Sue what are you talking about? Tensions are high in this country and you can blame your party for it for force feeding the American people all their BS policies that people don't want and for changing the meaning of the word "opposition" to the word "racist"
This is just another thing and frankly I think the president wants this because it keeps the focus on this so nobody notices how they are destroying the country.
Yeah people are sick of being called names by your progressives .This is America we have a right to protest without being called names for it.
You did this so thank yourself.
This is just one more thing. And I didn't see any proof of anyone attacking that guy but I did hear him call them mother fuckers. though.
One guy approached him but he didn't do anything that I could see and I didn't see what happened before so as usual you take nothing and turn it into something.
So you use that guy and call him my people? He's not my people. You are a hypocrite because you do the exact same thing you always complain about.
You transparency is overwhelming.
Tensions are high in this country because of delusional wingnuts like yourself, NOT because of liberals!! All we're doing is minding our own business by trying to support the president and get this country moving forward. Your party is trying to put these moronic wedge issues in place so the people don't focus on GOP stupidity and NO PLANS for our future. They once again, as always, bring fear into the equation just to get votes that's the only way they know how to do it! The rally was full of Muslim hating bigots and sheeple, I even saw you in the video with your stupid Sharia sign!!
Good post, Sue. These people are unbelievable. So much hate and fear, of and for nothing!
think what you want Sue but the mnajortiy of Americans aren't really interested in going in the direction this admin wants to go. Frankly I don't think they are either. They don't care about what happens just as long as forfill their wet dream of socialism.
You have that same mindset that poor people are poor because rich people are rich.
Looks like the president is making friends wherever he goes:

OK, I give up.
What the hell does this have to do with the topic?

this isn't about you Hugh it's about me.
I was merely responding to Sue calling the potestors my people.
Anyway Hugh my brother's name is Hugh too and a big liberal only he's in it for the free goods.

You mean like the free toys that come with a Big Mac?
I've read a load of inane comments on the "internets." But that one is right up there with the nuttiest.
"...in it for the free goods."
You mean like cabbages and wax?
SHAW!!! ROFLMFAO!!!
I literally peed my pants...OMG...
I can't stop laughing, thehusband is gonna kick me out of the house...
exactly right lisa, and it's way past your bedtime!
Good post, Sue. Thugs come dressed in all manner of attire - hard hats, suits, you name it. And they all have one thing in common. Gross stupidity.
Wonderful comment, Shaw. Unfortunately the loon is too stupid to understand it.
I think I'm going to start a petition drive on Facebook. It will be directed at Blogger and it will demand that they incorporate a program where blog administrators can permanently block assholes from their blogs.
Leslie I sure wish blogger would consider that. This dipshit would be banned FOREVER from every leftie blog in blogland! What a friggin pain in my ass!!
Lisa does the babblety babblety
"This is America we have a right to protest without being called names for it.
Jess says, know what, yeah we can call you names all we want. Your right to protest is just that, your right to protest and speak freely. It does not mean that others have to agree with it, or stand for it when people surround you being all hateful. Then it becomes my right to smack the smug off your face in any way I see fit, without being violent. See how that silly little Constitutiony thing works for everyone. I know, it;s some crazy shit isn't it Lisa. You're asking yourself now, self how do I come back from this one after she has said the Constitution works for everyone, when my side of the aisle is all about yammering on about the Constitution. I'll wait, I have no classes today and have finished my homework for the week.
@tnlib, no let them roam free with their natterings. It makes it easier for the rest of us to expose the fact they are not held down with the intelligence thing, like most people are.
Lisa, if I've told you once, I've told you many times. Sometimes, when you dig a hole, it's really common sense, to stop after a while. You are so very welcome for this free advice.
Oooh, I was so uncouth earlier. @Shaw, I am so glad to see you up and about at a couple of places I stop by. I know how brutal those treatments can be, hope you are all the way feeling much better.
The Conservative Tearrorists view anything which is non-white, non-christian, non-heteronormative as wicked and unAmerican.
Fellow Liberals never forget these two years President Obama has been acing the full fury of White Christian Fascism.
I Stand with President Obama.
Jess. Even the Lisas of the world should not abuse their freedoms. It's also bad manners.
@tnlib..Well bad manners is one thing that can be ignored. When you have some idiots like those surrounding that construction worker, that could as easily be called terrorizing, because that is what they are trying to do. Luckily, he was not about to stand there and take it, as is his right to speak back. You heard the guy, summed up many conservatives in a few words. Y'all motherf*ckers don't know my opinion on shit. Forget what blog I saw it on, but there is already a bumpersticker with this saying on it. When I come across it again I am buying a boatload of them to hand out.
