re: #305 oklahoma

Interesting is Nancy Nee’s take, which spouts the talking points quite well - but which is factually wrong:

Nancy Nee of Long Island, N.Y., wants Muslims to be able to build a community center — just not so close to ground zero, where her brother, 35-year-old firefighter George Cain, died 10 years ago.

“We’re upset,” Nee, 48, told AOL News today in a phone interview. “Not at the fact that Muslims have a right to practice their religion here … we’re not like that. But I feel that it’s a slap in the face to put it close to ground zero.”

Nee said the building’s size, as well as its location, was a problem. “It’s a 13-story building that will tower over the other buildings,” she said. “It’s almost like a trophy. The whole thing just reeks of arrogance at this point.”

She’s upset about the size, which isn’t going to tower over any buildings between it and Ground Zero. It’s size is comparable to the rest of the north side of Park Place. 100 Church is across the street, and it ranges in height from 15-20 stories tall. 90 Church is even more massive than that. Last time I checked, 15-20 is taller than 13. Also, the attacks were 9/11/2001, so her brother died 9 years ago this September (fact check with the report in issue?)
