It's a very unfortunate terrible thing.
Sixteen-year-old kid cancer.
It's just it's unfathomable.
Walter Williams will be filling in tomorrow.
And uh right after the program today, second day of Hank Haney, the Haney Project Golf Channel went out yesterday without Hank.
Uh yesterday just went out, tooled around on a course, played a couple three hauls, uh, kabitsed on the uh on the driving range, had a little sit-down interview.
One of the things they asked me, I said, Are you um why why are you doing this?
I said, Well, that's not really the question.
The question is why is Haney doing this?
And I can totally understand Hank Haney dropping Tiger Woods for the opportunity to spend six months with me.
Who wouldn't?
So I'm um I totally uh looking forward to it.
Today I get to meet Haney.
Um he was uh the what next week in Hawaii we're at a couple sessions too.
So looking forward uh to all of that.
Let's go right to the audio sound bites.
Let's just deal with it up front.
This mosque business is not going away, and there's a reason why it's not going away, and all over the the uh the the drive-by media yesterday is that the people just don't understand the the the media don't understand why people are saying what they're saying in these polls.
They don't understand why they think 20% think Obama's a Muslim.
Uh fewer and fewer think he's a Christian.
And it's it's it's really not hard to understand.
You know, we folks have not forgotten Jeremiah Wright.
What we when when Obama says he's a Christian, there are a lot of people that don't believe him.
And just because he got elected president doesn't mean they've forgotten it.
It's not it's not really anything big complicated out here.
Uh and so but yet they're just beside themselves.
And of course, who are they blaming for this?
Your host, the harmless lovable little fuzzball.
L. Rushbaugh, this is Juan Williams.
Yesterday morning on Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace.
Juan, why would it be growing?
I mean, he's been in office a year and a half.
Would you think people would have more of a sense of who he is by now?
I don't know if you noticed, but his approval ratings have been sinking.
And as his approval ratings have been sinking, I think more people feel, you know, absolutely unleashed in terms of their criticism, and I think the stuff that's coming from the right wing from Rush Limbaugh on the like, you know, Imam Obama.
Well, I'm I'm happy to be noted, uh, and I'm happy they've heard about this.
It's obviously irritating them, this Imam Obama business, but I've only been saying that since last week, and his numbers have been plunging for much longer than that.
And people have long doubted Obama when he says he's a Christian, long before we got in a game here with the media tweak of or tweak of Ob Imam Obama.
Uh Barack Obama was baptized Christian by a man who gave Calypso Lewis Ole gave him a lifetime achievement award.
That would be the Reverend Wright.
Uh uh well baptized Christian by a man who gave Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award, named after him the Jeremiah Wright Award.
Uh Jeremiah Wright, uh it's people heard the tapes.
Mainstream ruling class try to ignore them.
Ah, it doesn't matter.
That's a long time ago.
Obama's Renee, I didn't hear a word of Wright said in 20 years.
We don't believe that.
It's just that simple.
We don't believe that Obama didn't hear a word that Jeremia Wright said for 20 years.
We don't believe Obama when he says that he didn't hear any of that incendiary language when he was in the church.
We just don't believe it.
I mean it's no more complicated than that.
We're not that gullible.
Okay, so Juan Williams all upset, Imam Obama.
Last Friday, CNN John King's USA had this exchange with uh Amy Goodman, who's the host of something called Democracy Now.
If people are confused, if Americans are confused, Amy Goodman about their president's faith, whose fault is that?
Well, I think when you have someone like Rush Limbaugh talking about Imam Obama, you know, the problem with that is it's not true.
Why are you people asking this question in the first place?
Why if people are confused if Americans are confused, Amy Goodman about the president's faith, whose fault?
Might it be the president's problem?
Could it could it be it?
I tell you, there are a lot of media people who are just beside themselves that Obama didn't clear up the mosque controversy before hitting his vacation.
Why didn't he explain this?
He throws that time bomb in there about about supporting the mosque and then tries to walk it back and then says, no, I really meant it, and then leaves it hanging while he goes on vacation to media says I don't understand why he goes on vacation, leaves it could you maybe think he meant to say it.
Do you think maybe it was on the teleprompter for a reason?
He said it at a dinner, it was on the prompter.
You think maybe he meant to say it.
But why are none of these problems Obama's?
I mean, after all, I'm just an entertainer.
Half the time these people call me, I'm just an entertainer.
People don't take me seriously.
And I come along with his media tweak of the day, Imam Obama, now it's my fault.
That that that people um some people don't think Obama's a Christian.
What about his role in all this?
CNN's State of the Union, Howard Dean predicted the Democrats will hold Congress, the Candy Crowley, on CNN, the uh State of the Union show.
I bet money on the Senate for sure.
The House is much tougher.
I think at the end of the day we're gonna win in the House, and we're gonna have a majority.
It'll probably be reduced to many, perhaps as small as a five or ten seat majority.
We simply have better candidates.
There's a young guy named Tommy Sowers who's a Vietnam vet who's gonna knock off Joanne Emerson in Southeast Missouri, Rush Limbaugh's home district.
He's just running a tremendous campaign.
He's raised a lot of dough.
So we're gonna have some pickups.
They're focused on a district in which I don't live.
It's not my district.
I mean, I grew up there, my pictures on the flood wall murals, and I own the town, but I don't live this.
Not the Rush Limbaugh district.
Uh but nevertheless, Howard Dean.
Oh, yeah, we're gonna do fine.
We're gonna leave.
We're We're gonna take the Joanne Emerson seat.
We'll see.
We'll uh we'll see about that.
You know, Howard Dean ran his 2004 presidential campaign against me, if you recall.
We've been living rent-free in Howard Dean's head since he ran for president.
Here's a montage of Howard Dean on the stump in 2004.
We are taking our country back piece by piece from the Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country so that the flag no longer represents solely Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country.
So that the flag never again is the sole property of Rush Limbaugh.
We have the power to take back our country, so that the flag of the United States is no longer the sole property of Rush Limbo.
This country does not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
Move over.
I want my country back again because the flag of this country does not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back the flag, so it is no longer belongs solely to Rush Limbaugh.
That's a montage of Howard Dean 2004 running for president against me, still focused on uh congressional district, Cape Girarde, Missouri, where I was born, thinking a Democrats are going to take the uh take the seat.
Here in um again, the the Boston Herald, Obama teeing off nation, one Sunday at a time.
Another Sunday, another missed opportunity for Obama to prove to America he's not a Muslim.
That's how it begins.
And they don't quote me in this.
Attention, Juan Williams, the Boston Herald does not blame me.
They actually blame Obama.
He's going to play golf on Our Lady of the Fairways instead of going to church.
Despite every media person last week, and we played the audio sound bites.
Please, please just go to church.
Pick a church, grab a big Bible.
Get a 20-pound Bible, lug it in there in a wheelbarrow if you have to.
But go to church this Sunday.
Let people see you.
What is the only proof we have that Obama's a Christian?
Well, okay, his his his word.
His word, but Jeremiah Wright is the only proof that we have that he's a Christian.
Obama described Wright as his spiritual mentor.
Well, we sorry, Meteor, we've heard Jeremiah Wright.
We know what Jeremiah Wright said.
We know what he thinks of America.
By the way, did Howard Dean say anything about Scott Brown winning the Ted Kennedy seat?
I wonder what his prediction was on Martha Coakley.
Was that her name holding that seat?
Instead of attending church services at one of the dozens and dozens of quaint island Christian churches.
Yesterday morning on Martha's Vineyard, the commander-in-chief hit Our Lady of the Fairways, also known as the Vineyard Golf Club, yet again to play 18.
Obama teed off with Chicago buddy Eric Whitaker and aide Marvin Nicholson rounding out the foursome was Bill Lewis, a regular vineyard vacationer who played with Obama and Whitaker last year.
Once again, the press corpse kept far, far away from the presidential golf party.
The uh by the way, the Secret Service is riding along in golf carts now rather than SUVs.
The golf course owners got a little mad at SUVs in the fairways.
So the uh that which used to happen.
Uh and when you follow Obama around, you gotta go into the woods, which is where his T shot ends up a lot of times.
And you never know what's in the woods out there.
And they've got this course.
I've played this course a number of times.
This one, you know, we put anti-aircraft chaff, anti-aircraft missile chaff on EIB one.
We go in there.
Um it's Martha's Vineyard.
You never know when he surfaced air missiles are gonna be launched with a locals.
I mean, Skips Gates lives in there.
You never know.
So uh we played this golf course, and it's got I mean, it's a tough golf course.
It is a very long and very narrow in places, tough golf course with a lot of fescue, a lot of real hard rough.
Uh this is this is not a fun golf course for a rank amateur.
I guarantee you.
If you can't hit the ball, you're talking 25 or 30 mile or 30-yard-wide fairways.
I mean, that's the the the width of fairways at the U.S. open.
Uh and once you get in the rough, I mean, this it is you can lose your ball in the rough at the Vineyard Golf Club.
Uh it's a fun course to play.
It's a great clubhouse and uh and all that.
The president's handlers have said Obama does not attend services at church regularly because he doesn't want to be hugely disruptive to congregations.
Apparently that's not an issue on the golf course, especially now that Secret Service is following the boss in golf carts instead of these giant SUVs.
They drove down the fairway last year.
I this is a pretty tough piece, uh, Boston Herald.
Pretty tough.
I mean, Our Lady of the Fairways.
Obama not going to church in the golf course.
Let me tell you something.
Churches and golf courses both have people addressing the Lord frequently.
People on golf courses talk to God constantly.
I'm sure Obama's doing the same thing.
Back in uh a jiffy before you know it, much more on the EIB network today.
Again, 800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, don't go anywhere.
Hi, and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I have a lot of emails.
Uh I I didn't see Fox News Sunday, the the original uh uh uh broadcast.
I caught a little bit of it later on.
I had a lot of email.
Doesn't Juan Williams make you mad?
No.
Because folks, let me tell you something.
There's a you know, Gibbs used a term a couple weeks ago that made everybody on the left mad.
He referred to the professional left.
Now they exist, but you're not supposed to talk about them.
It's a it's a it's it's it's in a way a secret.
Now, I have described the professional left for you countless times over this uh program without actually using the terminology the professional left.
But who are the professional left?
They are people that form basic nonprofit groups, think tanks, with such sweet sounding names as the Center for American Progress, when they when their purpose is to tear it down.
And these people make a living off of disseminating propaganda, they turn money into ideology.
They ask for donations and they live off of it.
And these are people who tell you they do it from the goodness of their heart, they don't care about money, but they're all over the professional left and Juan Williams is a member.
And the professional left reads from a script.
They are ideologues, they read from a script.
Juan has a role to play, and when it comes to something like the mosque or uh questions of polling on remember, by the way, it wasn't us that brought up this whole notion of whether or not Obama's a Christian.
It was the Pew Center.
Part of the professional left, they're supposedly nonpartisan.
The Pew Center for people in the press, they went out and did a poll.
Now, why did they do the poll?
I mean, there had to be a reason for this.
Something had to make them ask the question.
So they come back, their poll shows anywhere from 20 to 25%.
The American people don't think he's a Muslim do think he's a Muslim, and the number of people who think he's a Christian is plummeting.
It can't be his fault, though.
He can't have any role in it.
No, it's got to be me, Imam Obama.
I mean, the fact that this Amy Goodman blames me too tells me that talking points have going out in the professional left.
Okay, this is what we're gonna assign here as the explanation for this.
And we're also gonna chalk it up to stupid people.
The American public is made up of stupid people.
The professional left holds you in contempt.
The professional left is acorn, the professional left is all these militant environmental groups, the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, they're all the professional left.
They're all 501c3s.
They're George So people ask, well, why don't the Republicans have things like this?
Two different modes of thought.
You know, I and I've talked about this in this in this uh analysis analysis of that great piece in the American Spectator on the ruling class.
We, you and I, members of the country class, we're we're oriented toward merit.
You know, we're we're we want to achieve things and receive whatever accolades and rewards on the basis of substance.
And so our my job here is not to fundraise, to advance an ideology.
You know, I'm in radio.
I have certain requirements, business requirements, to succeed here and stay on the air.
And I service those.
And I happen to also have freedom to be honest, and I combine my passions and desires.
You get what we get here.
But I'm I'm not, you know, I don't collaborate with anybody else to get a message out.
Few people on the right do, but the professional left is all about collaboration.
From the universities that train people to work in government, the bureaucrats and so forth, it's all a you know giant organization, and they have talking points, and they have the things that they're going to say, whether they believe them or not.
Uh, whatever it takes to advance an agenda to protect their leader.
So Juan Williams say, well, it's all Rush Limbaugh's fault.
I know Juan Williams.
I've he's interviewed me a couple of times at Fox.
And there have been many times over the course of um recent years where I have received email from people praising Juan Williams because he has said things that let me know that when he is thinking independently, he's not one of these knee jerk left-wing reactionaries reading from the talking points facts that's gone out.
But when he I mean, any anybody with um with a modicum of intelligence can know that Obama's approval numbers have been plummeting.
And the main reason is that people have waken up.
He's not who he said he was.
People simply don't believe him anymore.
They bought it during the campaign, but they don't believe it.
They're questioning it a lot of things that he says.
Because of things he's already, he doesn't believe in American exceptionalism.
I mean, but people they don't want that in a leader.
And they don't like having the doubt that he's a Christian.
Juan Williams knows it ain't because of me.
He knows that I'm not the reason this has happened.
He just has to say it.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Big smile on my face.
Here we are, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for advanced conservative studies.
Remember, Juan Williams defended me major big time back uh October of 2009, and he was told by another back black journalist to go back on the porch.
He was accused of being an Uncle Tom when he defended me against something.
I understand the uh game.
That was during the phony soldier scandal, uh, and also the I mean the St. Louis Ram scandal.
The uh that that whole trumped up, I never said it, bunch of quotes they attributed to me.
Uh Juan Williams had the audacity to point out the fact that I had not coined the magic Negro phrase for Obama that LA Times columnist had.
And when a Juan Williams pointed that out, he was going against the grain, the professional left and the ruling class, and he was called out on it.
He was uh go back on a porch, Juan, go back on the porch.
I mean, the the die had been cast, the marching orders said Limbaugh made up quotes.
Limbaugh said this, we know he didn't say it, we're gonna say he did.
And every liberal sports journalist in the country went with it, um uh guy in St. Louis, and they all went with it.
And uh Juan Williams, you know, he never said these things, and then he didn't coin the term magic negro.
Juan goes sit on the porch.
But speaking of all this snerdly, um you have extra time.
You have some extra time.
Well, this is from the smoking gun.
The Justice Department is seeking ebonics experts, Department of Justice seeking to hire linguists fluent in ebonics to help monitor translate and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations according to federal records.
A maximum of nine Ebonics experts will work with the DEA and their Atlanta field division, where the linguists, after obtaining a DEA sensitive uh security clearance, will help investigators decipher the results of telephonic monitoring of court ordered non consensual intercepts, consensual listening devices, and other media.
The DEA's need for full time linguists specialized specializing in ebonics is detailed in bid documents related to the agency's mid-May issuance of a request for proposal covering the provision of as many as 2100 linguists.
Now we know from your stint here, as the official Obama criticized it.
You've got you've got a bonic.
You be down for it?
You be down for it, yo.
Yo, well, uh, we here at the EIB Network are always eager to cooperate and help our government.
Uh and uh come to the aid of the good people in our government who are trying to keep us safe and protect us from uh drug lords, cartels and so forth, and Snerdley, we know speaks Ivonics.
So we're gonna look into the time required, because it cannot impact your job here at EIB if you could do it in uh what little spare time you have.
And of course, depending on what they're gonna pay, that's crucial, too.
I mean, the big money's in government, as you know.
So here, audio soundbite number 12, referenced this in the last half hour.
This is the the the media terribly, terribly upset uh that Obama flew off on vacation and didn't close the loop on the mosque at Ground Zero concert.
By the way, how many mosques under Martha's Vineyard?
I don't know.
Are there any?
Ma it in Martha's Vineyard.
We discussed last year, Martha's Vineyard is actually the home of a long-established quote unquote black enclave.
It's called Oak Bluffs, that's where Skip Gates lives.
And uh Oak Bluffs, the long-established black enclave, Martha's Vineyard, started out as a Christian prayer meeting camp.
It was the uh the center of the 19th century Methodist movement, and in the area known now as the Martha's Vineyard Campground Meeting Association, or the campground, members of the Methodist Church would come every summer to pitch tents and have open air meetings.
And as the as the meetings became uh more and more popular, returning visitors began replacing the tents with small wooden buildings, generally known as gingerbread cottages.
And and and the black enclave Oak Bluffs, thus developed on Martha's Vineyard.
So I I'm just wondering how many mosques there are on Martha's Vineyard.
You can't find any.
Researchers, even now, attempting to uncover the number of mosques.
Uh check Hyannisport.
Check Nantucket and check check Cape Cod while you're at it.
Uh I mean, there's scores of mosques in New York City, not that far from ground zero, but I'm I'm just asking here, is uh is Martha's Vineyard zoned for any mosques or Hyanisport near the uh Kennedy compound.
By the way, Snerdley Justice Department is also seeking witch doctors.
Serious folks, they're seeking witch doctors uh to help uh some you you don't you you don't be down with a witch doctor thing, yo.
Uh you're not down for Santa Ria.
You're not down.
Okay.
All right, then.
You don't play there.
All right.
Homie don't play Santa Ria, homie don't play witch doctor.
Yo.
One mosque in all of Cape Cod.
One mosque in all of Cape Cod.
The Islamic Center of Cape Cod in Osterville, Massachusetts.
Yeah, they don't actually have a building.
They're they're trying to get it kind of loose right now.
The uh, and that's in the middle of the uh of the Cape.
Here's Mark Halpern this morning on uh on Scarborough Show, morning show on MSNBC during a discussion about Obama and the ground zero mosque.
Maybe he'll look in on this.
He's made this a national issue.
He's it's unresolved.
He and Michael Bloomberg have to resolve it.
You're shocked that the president went on vacation without clarifying this, aren't you?
I am, and I'm sh and I'm shocked that he doesn't see the day day-to-day damage.
And if he does see the day-to-day damage, I'm shocked that he's not addressing it.
Now, see, this is this is where those of us In the real world, listen to the ruling class media.
We scratch our heads and say, Do you really think this guy doesn't know what he's doing?
Do you really think how can you tell us, Mark Halperon, all during the campaign, smartest wizard ever, the most unifying man to ever trod American political soil?
A man who is going to uh bridge all the divides.
Post-racial, post-American, post-partisan, uh post-political, post post uh achievement.
He's smartest guy.
In fact, Margaret Carlson and others last week said on the mosque business, it's our fault.
We just can't keep up with him.
He's too smart.
He needs to slow it down for our benefit.
Now, how can you say that and be part of that line of thinking and then express shock that the most brilliant president we've ever had doesn't close the loop on the mosque controversy that he started?
Could it be Mr. Halpern got exactly what he wanted out of this?
I mean, if you look at the country, Mark and the rest of you in the media, you see a pretty divided place.
And you see a president who can see that it's divided, and he doesn't seem to care.
In fact, he seems to be feeding off of the division.
There's so much division in the country that your own polling units are the ones asking the question.
Do you think Obama's a Christian?
Do you think Obama's a Muslim?
Your own polling unit are asking this about the president of the United States.
You want to turn around and blame the people of the country here for bigotry, racism, or what have you, or stupidity.
In fact, all you have to do is answer your own question.
I'm shocked that he doesn't see the day-to-day damage that his public pronouncement caused.
Of course he sees it.
He's it.
He sees it.
He knows what you guys should do.
He's going to blame me and others in the media.
Well, he's out playing golf.
He'll be back in a week.
He can feed off of it.
It's not.
It's not really complicated at all.
I just I marvel here at these people in the press who, on the one hand, this is the smartest guy we've ever had, and he does dumb things every day that they just don't understand.
You got to stick with the meme.
I mean, the meme is he's brilliant.
So you got to put everything under that umbrella.
You gotta ask yourself, what are you missing?
Like the rest of us.
We're too s we're too stupid to keep up with the fast brilliance uh of Obama.
So what are we missing here?
That needs to be the question.
Not why is he being stupid.
Zero mosques on Martha's Vineyard, zero mosques in Nantucket.
Speak of the devil.
Pamela Geller, Atlas Shrugs uh blog.
Gonna see how this uh floats, if it floats up this week.
Newly discovered tapes of Imam Raouf reveal a radical who supports Wahhabism and the destruction of Israel.
Pamela Geller and Atlas Shrugs reports that Steve Emerson has unearthed 13 hours of audio tape of Imam Raouf.
Emerson and his team of investigators, Emerson is a is a terrorism expert.
Emerson and his team of investigators have spent the past four weeks going through the newly found material.
Raulf is a radical extremist cleric who cloaks himself in sheep's clothing.
Among the shocking revelations that Emerson's team will reveal this week, they found that Raulf defends Wahhabism, which is a puritanical version of Islam that governs Saudi Arabia.
They found Raouf calling for the elimination of Israel by claiming a one-nation state meaning no more Jewish state.
They found Raulf defending bin Laden's violence and demonstrating that there is a lot more to this man than merely being a cleric.
So we will see if this uh if this floats up.
In the meantime, a brief timeout, get to your phone calls when we get back here on the EIB network.
Sit tight.
Here's that soundbite.
Uh it was from Thursday, October 15th, last year, 2009, on the O'Reilly Factor.
Uh, the host Ted Baxter talking to Julians and the radio host Warren Ballantyne about me.
Ted Baxter said the reason that Limbaugh's not going to be able to buy into the NFL is because a bunch of made up stuff became legend and he got hammered.
Okay, we won't look at the made up stuff.
Let's look at him playing Barack the Magic Negro on his show.
That's not racial either.
It is racial too.
Real day.
Hey, Warren, you were saying that I was my argument was a red herring.
Maybe you should do some research.
Go back and find out that it was an article written by a black person headline about Barack the Magic.
He made it out of a song and played.
He made it out of a song and played it on his show.
So what?
He's making fun of it.
It's okay.
You can go back to the porch.
Juan, you can go to the back porch.
So that there was Juan Williams defending me.
I like Juan Williams.
I I uh when he starts spouting this uh, yeah, Obama's numbers are tanking because of uh Rush Limbaugh and Imam Obama, I mean, he knows.
He knows.
I mean, it's just um that's just part of the game out there that they, the professional left have to play.
Tony in Miami as we start on the phones today, great to have you with us, sir.
Hello.
Hello, uh, pleasure to speak to you, Mr. Lombard.
Thank you very much, sir.
It's an honor.
Uh, just a couple of comments regarding Imam Ralph.
Uh apparently made some comments today uh that uh reiterate some things he said before concerning the purpose of this mosque is to uh to build bridges uh this whole notion of interfaith tolerance and yada yada yada.
Uh what just drives me absolutely bonkers about this is that if anybody reads a text of uh of Islam, that is the Quran, the Hadith Sassures, they uh do not espouse notions of of tolerance, of uh uh inner faith and and all the stuff that these uh folks on the left as well as uh the the willfully ignorant are spouting.
And it is uh uh it's it's it's heartbreaking really uh because of the fact that it's undermining our very our constitution, our nation, our republic.
If you know anything about about Islam, it is not tolerant of other faiths.
It certainly is not compatible with the Constitution, and yet you get this constant repeat uh this repeated message is mantra from the left.
And it's just sorry, that's a lot of people.
Well, what does that tell you?
What does that tell you?
I'm sorry?
What does that tell you?
Uh what does that mean?
What does it tell you that a mosque, a religious mosque, has become a left versus right issue?
What does it tell you about the left?
The left that doesn't care about religious freedom 364 days of the year.
The left that's really bugged and bothered by the Christian right practicing their faith.
They don't like the Christian right.
So here's one day a year, one issue they happen to care about property rights, they don't care about those either, unless they're in favor of the kangaroo right, a kangaroo rat owning the property, or the snug rat, whatever the hell else that they defend, what does it tell you?
And here and here comes the right, which happens to fall on the side of American tradition.
What does it tell you?
It should tell you who the American left is.
Something else that I think ought to be picked up, ought to be noted about this.
When all this kind of controversy comes up, like when they when the when uh they hijack our jets and fly two of them in the World Trade Center, what's the first thing our ruling class does?
They convene seminars and say, why don't they like us?
Does Islam ever ask itself again this mosque controversy?
In the mosque controversy, are the Islamists ever saying, uh, what is their problem with us?
Meaning, what's what's what are the what if our opponents what's their problem?
No, they're not asking that question.
They are accusing us of Islamophobia.
So whereas, you know, we always always say, well, why why why do they hate us?
They never ask that.
They never ask me, what what are we doing wrong?
They never say, what could we do to appease these people?
They don't ask that question.
We the ones do that.
I think it's relevant.
Means something.
All right, we just have done the uh research here, seven mosques total in all of Massachusetts.
There are over 30 mosques in Manhattan alone, and a hundred throughout the five boroughs.
Now, uh it regards to the previous caller.
If the builders of the mosque at ground zero, if they were really into bridge building, outreach, this is the perfect situation.
Agree to move it.
If that was really their purpose here, really into outreach, really, really want to build a bridge to us, move it.
But that'd be a magnificent gesture, but that's not doing that, are they?
