Michael Moore is absolutely correct on all counts, especially a peace park for appropriate use of that land. Gingrich is doing what comes naturally for Right Wing Extremists.
The Republicans Party's base includes bigots. Gingrich found a 'conspiracy theorist' at Forbes that 'recontextualized' President Obama's book. The moron that wrote the article Gingrich accepted as if sacred took the President's book, "Dream's from My Father" out of context to attempt to make legitimate character assassination wrapped in bigotry and presented in defamation. Am I surprised the conspriacy theorist lives at Forbes 'Rag'azine? No. Forbes is about money. Wall Street wants President Obama destroyed. You don't see the equation?
Don't expect Gingrich to retract any statements. The Republican base are bigots and that whom he is trying to motivate to vote in November. They are extremists and without the tabloid extremists the Republicans would loose elections. Gingrich is just speaking to his base. It is why Republcians lie so much because they have to drive out the American Wacko from any distraction or slumber to vote. Besides, he recently made a speech that really PO"d the Tea Party. He and Trent Lott stated the elected Tea Party candidates would have to 'blend' into the crowd with the existing leadership indoctrinating them to the "Republican Washington Power Machine." So, Gingrich has to lie and make a fool of himself in order to win them back again. Gingrich doesn't care that the President of the USA has just been defamed, he cares about power brokering and elections. After all he was the fool that extended the suffering of Americans for over a decade when Secretary Clinton, then First Lady was seeking to bring 'health care' under regulation to prevent deaths. Gingrich never cared about citizens, only money and power. He cares when it comes time to place a ballot, but, truely care about them? Gingrich? Never. He treats citizens as if puppets on a string.
The Mosque near Ground Zero is a perfect place of it. There needs to be a Muslim 'Prayer Room' within any commercial building that is planned for that site. Why? I think an article from "The New York Times" will provide proof to the 'history' of Muslim worship in regard to the 'daily functioning' of the Former Twin Towers.

Muslims and Islam Were Part of Twin Towers’ Life (click title to entry - thank you)

...Over the next few days, noticing some fellow Muslims on the job, Mr. Abdus-Salaam voiced an equally essential question: “So where do you pray at?” And so he learned about the Muslim prayer room on the 17th floor of the south tower....
There is not only a legal right and a moral right to build a Mosque near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, there is a historical significance to building a Mosque AT Ground Zero.

Elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, Obama was offered a book contract, but the intellectual journey he planned to recount became instead this poignant, probing memoir of an unusual life. Born in 1961 to a white American woman and a black Kenyan student, Obama was reared in Hawaii by his mother and her parents, his father having left for further study and a return home to Africa. So Obama's not-unhappy youth is nevertheless a lonely voyage to racial identity, tensions in school, struggling with black literature?with one month-long visit when he was 10 from his commanding father. After college, Obama became a community organizer in Chicago. He slowly found place and purpose among folks of similar hue but different memory, winning enough small victories to commit himself to the work?he's now a civil rights lawyer there. Before going to law school, he finally visited Kenya; with his father dead, he still confronted obligation and loss, and found wellsprings of love and attachment. Obama leaves some lingering questions?his mother is virtually absent?but still has written a resonant book. Photos not seen by PW. Author tour.
