Video: Pamela Geller v.s. Islamic Spokesman On CNN (Update- 911 Mega Mosque Protest Draws over 8,000 5,000!)

Guess which one gets the softball questions:

Pamela’s on the wrong side of history? She’s “fringe”? Really? Why do a majority of Americans object to the Ground Zero mosque? Are they all on the wrong side of history? Was this guy just spouting off a bunch of cheap talking points, or what? Those who don’t buy the bull are “ignorant”…that’s the koolaid the oh-so-tolerant  left needs to feel smugly superior to the rest of us.

It’s clear to me what’s going on, and it has nothing to do with tolerance for different religions, but supremacy over them: A Mosque at Ground Zero Equals Victory.

See Jihad Watch for more commentary.

UPDATE:

Pamela’s report on the Mega-Mosque protest:

Excelsior! Upwards of Eight Thousand Protest 911 Mega Mosque on D Day!

Wrong side of history!

El Marco was there as well. His photo-essay isn’t up yet, but he did a pre-report last night:

Prayer Time at the Ground Zero Mosque

Correction:

I think the 8,000 in Pamela’s post may be a typo, as everywhere else I’m seeing the number at 5000.

Pat Cadell wonders if America is losing its mind:

He’s right, it’s one insult too far, and that spokesman dweeb who debated Geller on CNN in the first video – who feigned offense at our offense, was profoundly unconvincing. Let’s just say, his taqiyya was weak.

UPDATE:

El Marco has some pictures up, here.

UPDATE II:

Another crack CNN crowd counting job, here:

CNN iReporter Julio Ortiz-Teissonniere, who attended the rally and sent photos to CNN, said the number was closer to 200-300 while he was there for the first 45 minutes of the event. All three said the protest was peaceful.

Dude…


More great coverage of the protest  Urban Infidel

Another blogger, Conservative Monster reports:


I am estimating that about 8,000-10,000 people showed up to this protest since there were so many people that were passing by and showed their support as well. I did not see any news trucks from CNN, MSNB Sleaze, NY1 or Fox News. The press prior to the protest most likely helped get the crowd out, so at least that is good news.

Maybe that’s where the 8,000 number came from?

Phoenix Rising Pro-AZ Immigration Law Rally

(AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)

AZCentral reported:

Hundreds of people supporting Arizona’s new law cracking down on illegal immigration rallied near the state Capitol on Saturday afternoon in soaring temperatures.

Hundreds of motorcycle riders kicked off the downtown Phoenix rally by riding in a procession around the Capitol. Supporters waved American flags and some carried signs that read “What part of illegal don’t they understand?”

When temps soar to 105°, I tend to be near a pool if I’m going to spend any amount of time outside. So kudos to those folks for coming out.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, perhaps best known for his efforts targeting illegal immigrants, drew loud chants of “Joe, Joe, Joe!” when he spoke to the audience at the rally.

One man yelled to him: “We’ve got your back, Joe!”

Arpaio praised lawmakers for passing the law and reiterated that he’ll lock up as many illegal immigrants as his deputies can arrest.

“We’ll put tents from here to Mexico,” he told the crowd, referring to his famed Tent City, a section of the county jail where all inmates are housed in surplus military tents.

Ted Hayes, a black homeless advocate, activist and Republican, also spoke at the rally:
