Greets and saluts from the newly greened Ground Zero (the Port Authority started planting trees for the 9/11 memorial over the weekend). The firestorm over the Cordoba House proposed community center continues, with further reporting on possible problems with the the imam and developer as alternatively, slumlord and tax cheat (failing to pay property taxes on properties in New Jersey).

re: #219 lawhawk
Do you really think posting tabloid stories about the community center is a good idea?

re: #223 Obdicut
The “tabloid stories” as you put it are shaping the public’s opinion on the community center. While you might disparage the Post, perhaps a similar report from the Bergen Record might carry greater weight? Or maybe the NYT, which in a report about Imam Rauf, noted that SoHo Properties did owe $200k, but that the matter was being resolved.
Even as the project’s developers collected $10,000 at a fund-raiser this weekend, they were working to settle an outstanding property tax bill of more than $200,000 on the site where the center is expected to be built.Representatives of the real estate concern run by Sharif el-Gamal, the developer on the project, said they had delayed the payments while negotiating with the city for a lower tax.
Mr. Gamal plans to buy the land from Con Edison, the current owner, which has said the transaction would proceed as long as Mr. Gamal agrees to a price set by an appraiser.
The fact is that the Post and Daily News do quite a bit of good local reporting, and if you can get past the tabloid nature, you’d find that some of their reporting is better than that of the NY Times (especially when related to Ground Zero construction – I routinely look at all four local papers for stories, and the Post and News report far more on Ground Zero than the others; for the Cordoba controversy, I look at all four, and average ‘em to get a good idea what’s going on).

re: #244 lawhawk
I do disparage the Post. And yes, I agree that they’re shaping opinion on it– and you’re assisting. That’s what I’m pointing out. Whether or not Rauf is a good landlord is completely immaterial to the building of the community center; to me, it’s a rather transparent smear campaign, and I’m disappointed to see you enabling it.
There are thousands of development deals going on in NYC right now. None of the rest of them are being scrutinized like this. The reasons for this are obvious: these are Muslims.
Say what you want about lawhawk’s remaining at LGF, he has more brains in his head then all the losers over there combined.
“I do disparage the Post. And yes, I agree that they’re shaping opinion on it– and you’re assisting. ”
Translation:
Shut up. Nobody reads the Post, but everybody reads LGF comments, and we don’t want this to get out.
Lolcat iz loling…
I found a new asshole over there – Jeff in Ohio.
If he’s so smart, why does he continue to hang out at that libtard hate-site? For the conversation with other moonbats? For Chunky’s razor-sharp opinionizing on current events? Just keeping an eye on the crazies?
Seriously, why would anyone choose to remain there? Nostalgia only goes so far as an explanation. At some point, you have to drink the Kool Aid.
I was only referring to his intellect compared to the other losers there.
He’s also wrong about the Post. The tabs do some serious reporting (and no, I’m not an employee, though I did interview there once) in New York and the Post is influencing public opinion no more than the Times.
And I agree that he can’t be that smart if he engages those fools.
With Mandy gone, lawhawk’s days are numbered. He might as well go out with a bang.
lawhawk will go out one day when they all start Israel bashing.
