From Politico: Sarah Palin, who waded into a New York political fight by endorsing Ann Marie Buerkle in NY-25, is drifting into a decidedly higher-charged battle: The fray over a planned mosque near Ground Zero. 'Peace-seeking Muslims, pls understand, Ground Zero mosque is UNNECESSARY provocation; it stabs hearts. Pls reject it in interest of healing,' she tweeted Sunday.

Update via AP: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg had some strong words for Sarah Palin after the former VP candidate sounded off on the proposed mosque at ground zero. "Sarah Palin has a right to her opinions, but I could not disagree more," Bloomberg said. "Everything the United States stands for and New York stands for is tolerance and openness."
