Morton Grove mosque |
Citing zoning and parking issues, a determined group of neighbors has been opposed to the mosque since around 2000, when it became clear that religious services were being held in what was then just a school--and the MEC announced its intentions to build a formal house of worship on the site. Of these opponents, yes it is fair to say that some of them simply don't want a mosque near their home.
But three left-wing news sources, Think Progress, Huffington Post, and Rich Miller's Capitol Fax (no link from me), are tying this incident--no one was hurt, by the way--to recent comments made by Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) about radical Islam.

Morton Grove is not in Walsh's district.
Think Progress and Huffington Post are practicing yellow journalism, but I will give them credit for honesty. Yes, honesty. They're lefty-loons and they don't try to hide it. I respect that--even though in my opinion they are wrong on almost every issue. Miller, on the other hand, is a stealth leftist who attempts to appear non-partisan on Capitol Fax. Like most people, I loathe sneaks. Earlier this year I made the mistake of commenting on what I suspect was a shill post for one of Miller's beloved public-sector unions. I raised a point he didn't care for. His response was, "Bite me." Miller is 50 years old. He regularly threatens to ban commenters who don't play along with him.
Grow up.
