re: #422 Decatur Deb

It this a hearing with sworn testimony?

Apparently so, and from some observers it appears to have become a farce. Lots of stuff coming out there.

And yes, it appears as if there is a Geller connection. From the comments on one of the Daily News Journal articles on this:

I have sat in court every single day of this thing while my camera guy gets footage. I even shot some footage myself. And I have lost track of how many times Joe Brandon has said that the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro are the same people who caused 9/11 and that they believe in having sex with children.

The amount of bigotry displayed and hate speech permitted in this courtroom has been shocking to say the least.

And it has also finally come to light that the person organizing and funding this entire anti-mosque movement (or hysteria as I tend to think of it) is lobbyist Laurie Cardoza-Moore. She is not even from Rutherford County folks.

So to everyone who has accused me of being some kind of “outside aggitator” you might want to rethink that. I am just a guy with a camera asking questions and occasionally writing blogs about what I see. Laurie Cardoza-Moore is the one who is pulling all the strings.

Mufreesboro survived 9/11 just fine living with Muslims. Thanks Laurie.

Cardoza-Moore was, I think, involved in Geller’s big anti Park51 rally.
