Sarah Palin, who waded into a New York political fight by endorsing Ann Marie Buerkle in NY-25, is drifting into a decidedly higher-charged battle: The fray over a planned mosque near Ground Zero. "Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing," she tweeted Sunday.

The building’s planners, the American Society for Muslim Advancement and the Cordoba Initiative, have said it’s modeled on religious and community centers such as the YMCA, and that the 13-story, $100 million building would also include an arts center, gym and a swimming pool, as well as a mosque. It would be two blocks away from Ground Zero.

While a recent poll showed a majority of New Yorkers oppose the plan to build the mosque built near Ground Zero, an aide in Mayor Michael Bloomberg's City Hall hit back at Palin, first tweeting “@SarahPalinUSA mind your business."

The aide, policy hand Andrea Batista Schlesinger, followed that up with:

"@SarahPalinUSA whose hearts? Racist hearts?"

Schlesinger deleted both tweets shortly after a call was placed to city hall asking for comment on them

I’ve seen the ad “Muslims For Peace” on a few buses in Brooklyn. Every time I see them, I scoff because I know it’s not true.

3. I have this to say

I do not understand how people can say they are a Christians. Then not want to allow some one who has a religion that is different from theirs practice that religion.

Why do they think that they should tell others what to do. I'll tell you why because they have an ego so big their head's about to burst. The republican owned media has built Palin up so much she really truly thinks she is some body instead of the busy body absolute POS she is.
