Why No Outcry About The Pussycat Lounge near Ground Zero?

[Yavin4]

Isn't this supposed to be a sacred place?

1. Because god loves strippers

and all other people.

[WillParkinson]

2. Republicans need somewhere to go after hours...

So they can get on the 6 pm news with the latest sex scandal.

more Fear and Loathing from the repukes

5. The NY Daily News

actually seems rational on this issue. One of the 9/11 families does not, however

<snip> Critics have been reluctant to draw a line in the sand around the sacred area, but some say that's not the point.

"I don't have an interest in policing every square inch of lower Manhattan to purify it," said Debra Burlingame, spokeswoman for some Sept. 11 victims' families and the sister of one of the pilots killed in the attacks. "We're trying to prevent an imam from appropriating 9/11 to push in America, an ideology at the heart of why our loved ones were ripped to pieces." <snip>

6. deleted dupe

8. Perhaps it is because 'bar radicals', 'salon radicals', liquor store radicals',

and 'porn radicals' did not kill all those folks in the September 11 killing spree.

It was pretty much Islamic radicals who did it, IIRC.

[The_Commonist]

10. Fail!

Mohamed Atta and his pals famously went to strip clubs and boozed it up while they were "training" for their "mission." Stuff that is, you know, against their religion.

[jberryhill]

13. They went to strip joints in Florida shortly before the attacks

So, I'm pretty sure that titty bars played a major role in 9/11.

[walldude]

15. Yes it was Islamic Radicals.

So in turn for what the radicals did you want to punish all Muslims? Did we tear down all the churches near the Federal Building in Oklahoma City? After all that was a radical Christian bomber.

[Obamanaut]

18. I've not read anything about anyone wanting to tear down any existing

structures. Just don't build the community center w/ mosgue included.

Have you read any suggestions re tearing stuff down?

[walldude]

21. Wow right over the old head huh...

Uh.. I was making a point that we don't stop Christians from building churches even though their radicals have bombed the Oklahoma City Federal Building and walked into a church and shot a doctor during Sunday mass. We also as John Oliver said, don't stop Catholic Churches from building near playgrounds. But that's ok please allow your xenophobia to dictate what Muslims can and cannot do, live in fear, allow the terrorists to win, it's a great plan.

[Obamanaut]

22. self delete nt

[Raejeanowl]

7. Because...

None of the 9/11 terrorists were any kind of sex workers, or promulgating violent philosophies about the industry, as far as we know.

[realisticphish]

9. ah

but those things are anti-christian. And muslims are, by definition, anti-christian.

They're the same. QED

[Vinnie From Indy]

11. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pussycat Lounge changed its name to the "Ground Zero Naughty Beaver"

This is America after all and if a buck can be made in NYC it will be. I would also not be surprised if one of the strippers had a nickname like "Twin Towers" or something.


Why isn't the right-wing in a furious rage over Muslim pilots flying aircraft in and out of NYC for Royal Saudi Airlines or Turkish Airlines etc.

[steve2470]

12. comedy gold that new name !!! LOL ty nt

[mstinamotorcity]

14. Because it doesn't

pray on peoples fears. Only things that scare individuals who don't know or understand any better are what makes news. And I wish people would call the community center what it is. Ground Zero Mosque is just insulting and degrading to the intelligence of the American People.They only put the words together to draw some type of connection to the old "terrorist are coming to get you" rhetoric.And you know repugs, if you say it they will capitulate.

16. New York Dolls is closer

One block away from the "Mosque"

[liberal N proud]

17. Because the Right Wingers who started this fiasco might be found there on occasion

These media freaks who generated this whole story don't believe an ounce of the bullshit they propagate, but it makes for good ratings and snags a few liberals along the way and wraps them up in an anti-muslim frenzy.

All fabricated for the benefit to the right wing machine.

[bluethruandthru]

19. I have it on good authority that none of the strippers are Muslim..so it's okay.

right?

[L0oniX]

20. They should build a Church of the Sacred Capitalist Heart on the site...

...one big ass huge fucking bank!
