Could the circus over the Muslim community center all be a planned real estate grab?

[arbusto_baboso]

Think about it. Property in that area of Manhattan is pretty pricey. If it gets too hot for the Sufis they may have to sell it and will probably have to take a huge loss. Does anyone doubt that some of the major funders of the campaign against the Muslim center are NYC area developers who want to buy the property for cheap and make a financial killing on it???

2. Everything Republicans do is ultimately motivated by money.

Knowing that, still think my OP is tinfoil-hat?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. I just set the clock back.

Same thing.

:tinfoilhat::sarcasm: Does this help?

[arbusto_baboso]

5. Ah. I, too, am a bit humor impaired today.

truce?

6. Look up Larry.

It'll make sense.

Truce? We were never at war! :hug:

10. Okay, Silverstein looks like a real "operator".

Are you suggesting he would be behind any real estate scam here?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. Sure, I'll "suggest" "it ."

No big whoop.

7. Yes, it could..........

among other things. Stirring up controversy before the election, keeping people bored and quiescent........and a weapon of mass distraction.

8. For some reason ,

I was under the impression that all actual land in that area was owned by the city ,leased out,and governed by the Port Authority. Probably got some misinformation.

9. After the Arizona Immigration law turned out to be a total financial scam

I wouldn't doubt it...

11. Someone just called into Shannyn Moore's show with that theory.

12. Sinc eit wasn't me, it's good to know I'm not the only one thinking that way.

There is literally NO low act to which righties won't stoop in order to turn a buck.

13. It could be there is a hidden agenda there.

All the hyperbole really isn't making much sense on the surface of the debacle.

14. No, it's a planned electoral grab.

Making it so "hot" is likely to bring more people to the community center than would otherwise come.
