Dem Leaders Join in Condemnation of ‘Ground Zero Mosque’ -- News from Antiwar.com

Dem Leaders Join in Condemnation of ‘Ground Zero Mosque’ -- News from Antiwar.com: "With a number of Republicans hoping to make political hay out of President Obama’s brief expression of conditional support for the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, Democratic leaders are looking to jump on the bandwagon as well, publicly condemning the construction of the community center on “hallowed ground.”

Top Democrat Howard Dean condemned the mosque as a “real affront,” joining Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D – NV), who condemned it yesterday. Dean said he was open to the idea of the mosque being opened somewhere else.
