Jones' real issues are racism and ignorance. He's only recently tried to connect the not-a-mosque to his crap. Northern Florida is the south. It's as different geo-politically from Southern Florida (Walt Disney World, etc.) as South Korea is from North Korea. It may as well be Alabama.
The anti-not-a-mosque garbage is a completely engineered outrage. It's the GOP attempting to fan anti-Muslim sentiment and trying to connect it to Obama. They don't care that it's untrue. They merely see it as useful.
New Yorkers are strongly in favor of the Islamic cultural center being built. The ones carping on it amount to about twenty, but they're getting the coverage because of the Republicans.
It's also two frickin' blocks from Ground Zero. In NYC, in terms of proximity, that's one heckuva long distance.
