re: #34 WindUpBird

The fact that it’s all evasive slimy emotional generalities, concern-mongering about the eevil scheeming brown people who don’t worship the Real Authentic Bible Republican God™ oh god our precious Ground Zero, that’s a feature, not a bug

To answer my own question, the opponents probably realize at this point that the project will go ahead. They are still screeching and screaming mostly to define the “Ground Zero Mosque” as a centerpiece and prop for future hate campaigns, possibly for decades to come.
