Orrin Hatch comes out in favor of not-a-mosque that isn't at Ground Zero

Via Huff Post Hill:

In an interview with Salt Lake City's Fox 13 News, the Utah senator expressed his unequivocal support for the planned community center several blocks from Ground Zero. "And there's a huge, I think, lack of support throughout the country for Islam to build that mosque there," Hatch said, "but that should not make a difference if they decide to do it. I'd be the first to stand up for their rights." Do the 1,2,3, E and R trains, which pass near Ground Zero and contain ads for Dallas BBQ's Texas-sized margaritas (complete with a test tube shot of liquor) also desecrate that hallowed ground?
