Where are the Teabaggers when we need them?

COLONIE -- After more than six years in the making, the Muslim Community Center opened Saturday amid a show of interfaith harmony and an outpouring of support.
Bishop Howard Hubbard of the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese, Rep. Paul D. Tonko, D-N.Y., and several local politicians mixed with members of the Islamic Center of the Capital District to celebrate the new center.
Calling it "a day for great rejoicing," Hubbard told some 400 Muslims and guests that he was "greatly concerned and disturbed by the anti-Muslim frenzy" in the country, especially the desecration of a mosque in Hudson.
He said he's among 30 religious leaders in the region who support the building of the controversial mosque and community center in lower Manhattan and condemn all acts of racism and religious bigotry.
Where's the outrage?
After all, the "Islamic Center" is only a few miles from the Hudson River, that stream used by the terrorists to guide their hijacked airliners some 200 miles south to their targets in Manhattan on that infamous day of September 11, 2001. How DARE they profane the memory of the victims of that treacherous attack by building their house of evil in such close proximity to the scene of the attack?>
How was this allowed to happen? Where were the protesters with their signs calling for the deportation of Muslims and their posters of Obama in a turban? Where were the PATRIOTS?
Disgusting.
Somebody needs to call the Vatican and tell His Holiness they got a COMMIE running the Albany Diocese!
