Pelosi Walks Back Mosque Comments ... Sort Of

You just knew after her absurd comments from yesterday were disseminated this abominable woman would rush to release a statement clarifying her remarks. Her stenographers at USA Today dutifully help her try and extract her foot from her mouth.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wants to know who is funding the mosque at the site of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks -- and who is funding the opposition to it.

In a just-released statement, the top House Democrat walks a political tightrope on the proposed mosque, and is cryptic about whether she thinks it should be built.

"The freedom of religion is a Constitutional right," Pelosi says. "Where a place of worship is located is a local decision."

Pelosi agreed with some religious leaders who want more information on the money behind the proposed mosque -- but added that she'd also like to know more about who is underwriting the campaign to stop it.

For three months Pelosi and the Democrats have shown zero interest in who's funding the mosque and her initial foray into the controversy is to demand to know who, if anyone, if funding opposition.

While Pelosi is at it, maybe she could find out who's behind every group that has been attacking Republicans all these years. Maybe a look at the funding of MoveOn and Media Matters is in order.
