In discussing the 'ground zero' mosque, he said it's wrong to limit other people's free speech rights, freedom of religion, etc, etc. He took that opportunity to apologize for the stance he took several years ago when he said it was in poor taste for the NRA to hold their rally in Colorado shortly after the Columbine incident.
A lot of other TV personalities never seem to admit their mistakes in logic like this.... 'We've always been at war with Eastasia'

I have wondered if anybody on the left had remembered the treatment the NRA recieved for holding their convention there shortly after the murders.
The difference between the NRA and the builders of this mosque is that the NRA was stuck. They had everything booked and simple couldn't have changed location that late without it costing a fortune. The logistics would have been impossible. Just canceling wasn't an option either due to the organization's constitution.
