The Associated Press: GOP calls Obama insensitive over stand on mosque

Every day my disrespect for the Republicans as a pack increases, deepening my sense of despair.

Partisan opportunists exploiting religious nuttery. Fuck you all!


The Associated Press: GOP calls Obama insensitive over stand on mosque:
From statehouses to state fairs on Tuesday, Republican incumbents and challengers unleashed an almost unified line of criticism against the president days after he forcefully defended the construction of a $100 million Islamic center two blocks from the site of the 2001 terror attacks.'
...
'He is thinking like a lawyer and not like an American, making declarations without America's best interest in mind,' said Andrew Harris, a Republican running for Congress in Maryland against first-term Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil.
...
'Well I think it's another example of him playing the role of law professor. ... We can have a great debate about the legal arguments. But it's not about that,' Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty said in an interview Monday on Fox News.
...
With a steady drumbeat, Republicans tried to force Democrats into difficult positions of either standing with the president or bucking him.
