Pelosi calls for investigation of WTC mosque opposition

Just when you thought the Obama / Pelosi / Reid troika couldn't do a worse job of handling this issue:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, called for an investigation of those who are protesting the building of the Ground Zero Mosque on Tuesday. She told San Francisco's KCBS radio:

"There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded," she said. "How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we've been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City."

Calls to investigate the funding for those proposing the $100 million "Cordoba House" have fallen on deaf ears, though, as New York's Mayor Mike Bloomberg has described such an investigation as "un-American."

Does Pelosi really mean to suggest that the 70% of Americans opposed to the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero are somehow all taking bribes from some nefarious conspiracy?
