THIS IS DISGRACEFUL, ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE – AT 8:37 A.M. ET:  How low can the Democratic left go?  Well, maybe we're finding out.  Reader Brian Kuhn alerts us to this:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, called for an investigation of those who are protesting the building of the Ground Zero Mosque on Tuesday. She told San Francisco's KCBS radio: 

"There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded," she said. "How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we've been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City."

And these are the same people who constantly shout "McCarthyism."  They, including Pelosi, are the latter-day McCarthyites.

Calls to investigate the funding for those proposing the $100 million "Cordoba House" have fallen on deaf ears, though, as New York's Mayor Mike Bloomberg has described such an investigation as "un-American."

So let me get this straight:  It is wrong, even un-American, to investigate the funding of the mosque, even though that funding may come from questionable sources linked to terrorism, but the speaker of the House wants to investigate the funding of those who are simply asking for sensitivity to the victims of 9-11? 

What has become of the Democratic Party?
