NBC Names Ground Zero Mosque Developer a “Person of the Year”

Hat tip: Aurelius

So much for NBC being “unbiased.” Out of all the Americans who could have been a “person of the year,” they chose to go with the developer behind the Ground Zero mosque, Sharif El-Gamal.

In an interview set to air on Thanksgiving Day, Matt Lauer sat down with El-Gamal and discussed the “Park 51 Project.” El-Gamal, who was apparently pleased to be named one of NBC’s people of the year, seemed very comfortable answering questions. The excerpt released so far shows that Mr. Lauer gave El-Gamal a decidedly softball interview. Here is a partial transcript of El-Gamal’s opening statements:

“There’s going to be a facility here that’s going to provide aquatics, uh, uh, uh, a gym, just like a Jewish community center or, or a YMCA. It’s going to provide, uh, much needed facilities to the residents of Lower Manhattan.”

Lauer responds that there is “one major exception” to El-Gamal’s statement, describing the 9/11 terrorist attacks. However, El-Gamal’s quickly responded:

“Not once have I held my faith accountable for the horrific events of 9/11. I am an American. I am an American who has a specific belief system, and my belief system, in order to be a Muslim you have to be a good Jew and a good Christian.”

Looks like we need to go after NBC’s advertisers.

    NBC is garbage. Are they dhimmis or do they have an agenda? Does Meredith Viera want to wear a burkah? How about Lauer’s wife? He is the most disgusting of all: He, a Jewish man, had the opportunity to make history by ripping El Gamal and the weasel Feasel imam to shreds, to expose their love of Hamas and their foaming at the mouth to bring in sharia law, but instead he kisses the ugly butt of Gamal.

    Boycott NBC and all advertisers. I am disgusted by NBC and more by Lauer, a Jew, who bows to a Jew-hater.

    Toliveonthewind, I completely agree with you. I like how you write weasel Feasel imam. Your blog looks great too! I’m adding you to my blogroll.

    Actually, I’m somewhat surprised and disappointed. I would have bet on the dingledummy who screwed up the simplest of car bombs in Times Square!

    Or “Momma Chubs” in the WH.
