If the Tea Party folks are so goddamned concerned about honoring the Constitution, and protecting the Constitution, and rocking the Constitution to sleep at night while planting gentle kisses on its forehead, why aren't they arranging noisy counter-protests against the shrieking hordes of right wingers protesting the proposed Park51 community center* in Manhattan??
It couldn't be that they only give a shit about the Constitution when it's protecting their interests, and are perfectly happy to ignore it when they're attacking what they don't like, could it?
It couldn't be that they're so completely or willfully uninformed that they don't realize there's already a mosque near this "hallowed ground," could it?
It couldn't be that they recognize a convenient political football when they see one, could it?
It couldn't be that they really are simply lying, racist bigots, could it?
It couldn't be that the tea party and the mosque protesters are one and the same, could it?
Naaaaaaaaaah.
*(Earlier, in my haste to post, I mistakenly referred to Park51 as a mosque. It is not a mosque, it is a community center. There are future plans for a mosque in the building, but this just adds to show how this "mosque protest" is bullshit. Thanks to Misty for the link.)
