Bloomberg defends aide, Sarah Palin, and his support of ground zero mosque
New York City’s Nanny in Chief, Michael Bloomberg, defended aide, Andrea Batista-Schlesinger for telling (tweeting) Sarah Palin to “mind your business” and inferring that she and opponents of the Ground-Zero Mega mosque were racists. (“Whose hearts? – Racist hearts?”)
In yesterday’s post, I opined that Bloomberg should fire Ms. Batista-Schlesinger because she basically called everyone who is opposed to the evil Mega mosque plan racist. There is no way around that! If Sarah Palin is a racist because she dare speak out against this vile proposal, then it only stands to reason that this applies to all people who are against it! In fact, her tweet said “Whose hearts” and “Racist Hearts”, not Whose heart and Racist Heart. To me, this proves that the despicable Batista-Schlesinger meant that all who hold that view are racist.
Remember Mr. Bloomberg; the (s) at the end of Heart means plural. In other words, she wasn’t just referring to Sarah Palin, but to all who disagree with her! That includes me and millions of other New Yorkers who believe that the Ground-Zero mosque is a hateful and provocative project!
Bloomberg went on to say that he didn’t agree with Batista-Schlesinger in regards to Palin (and the rest of us – I guess) being racists. However, he did it in his usual underhanded way by taking the opportunity to defend the mosque plan as a matter of “religious freedom.”
Here’s what I mean.
Bloomberg: “In terms of her comments on Sarah Palin, I don’t agree at all. But I certainly agree that freedom of speech is just as important as freedom of religion.”
This pompous elitist attempts to supposedly defend Palin while justifying his gung-ho support for the mosque project.
Bloomberg also comes out and admits that Ms. Batista-Schlesinger is a far left-winger.
He said: “You know, anybody that’s read Andrea Batista Schlesinger’s book ‘The Death Of Why?’ should know what her views are. I’ve always tried to have an administration with people from all the ends of the political spectrum and everything in the middle.”
Really Mr. Bloomberg? Would you please let all of us know the name of the Conservative who is part of your administration? Conservative, Mr. Bloomberg – not Republican! Is there anyone in your administration who is an open supporter of the Tea Party movement, or of Sarah Palin? The answer is a resounding big fat NO!
The bottom line is that Bloomberg is a thin skinned statist who doesn’t take well to anyone questioning his all-encompassing wisdom. Bloomberg has set himself firmly with the Islamists who want to pour rock salt on the wounds of all the families and friends of the 9/11 victims. To hide from his cowardice, (God forbid he go against anything Islam wants!) Bloomberg has tried to use the concept of religious freedom as a smokescreen; the very same concept that simply doesn’t exist in Islamic nations.
Mayor Bloomberg, if you want to keep Ms. Batista-Schlesinger in your administration, at least order her to apologize to the people you both supposedly serve for calling them racists. Once again, I won’t hold my breath.

Bloomberg’s a swine. Can you imagine Rudy doing this?
Absolutely right!
Giuliani actually took many moral stands in spite of his reputation (a bit unfair) for being a “liberal” Republican. He returned the donation of the Saudi Sheik after 911. He threw the murderous terrorist, Yasser Arafat, out of Lincoln Center, and he stood up against Brooklyn Museum (publicly funded) featuring “artwork” that was offensive to many Catholics. Just imagine the Brooklyn Museum featuring artwork that depicted (or just showed) Muhammad in a negative light.
Right or wrong, Rudy wasn’t scared to take a stand. Bloomberg is a jelly-spined, self-serving, progressive elitist.
