WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) vigorously defended top State Department official Huma Abedin, who is Muslim-American, against allegations by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and other conservatives that she is part of a Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy to infiltrate the U.S. government.
"These allegations about Huma and the report from which they are drawn are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American and a loyal public servant," McCain said in a speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday morning.
The accusations stem from a report by the Center for Security Policy. The organization is run by Frank Gaffney, who has been crusading against the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia law for years.
Bachmann, along with Reps. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Thomas Rooney (R-Fla.) and Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.), recently sent letters to five federal agencies demanding investigations into infiltration by the Muslim Brotherhood, citing Gaffney's work. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 7:35:59 PM | | I think Michelle Bachmann put that out to get people to stop asking questions about romney's taxes. Same thing with Rushbo going on about the evil character Bane in the new Batman(some kind of conspiracy against Romney since he worked at Bain). I hope the whole Tea Party becomes unhinged soon. I can't wait for the debates, let the fun begin. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 8:22:49 PM | | ^^^ I hope anyone who ISN'T a nutjob sees what a nutjob she is. Aren't there laws about slander? She went even farther today in making unfounded accusations about Huma Abedin's family, but then pretended that she WASN'T "accusing"--just asking questions about the process by which Huma got a security clearance. The whole thing is obviously just another means of bringing Obama's patriotism, religion and ethnicity into question, while at the same time (as someone stated above) deflecting attention from the issue of Mitt the Git's taxes (happily, this is NOT working it seems). Sununu did the same thing yesterday by saying Obama doesn't know how to be American (you know, all that Indonesian Muslim-scary upbringing)--for which he. of all people, should be ashamed. But these people ARE shameless, and those who think these cretins (including Bachmann) aren't acting hand in glove with the Romney campaign are deluding themelves, perhaps so they can continue rationalizing voting for the clown to end clowns when November rolls around. | |

I at least work in her district and no one I know thinks she is anything less than a moonbat and works the system with the best of them. She needs to worry about her district having the highest foreclosure rates in the state before starting Muslim witchhunts. | |

Posted: 7/20/2012 10:37:43 PM | | Let's pause for a moment and recall just how 'aggressive' McLame was during the '08 campaign. Anybody remember his excoriation of Willie (Bill Cunningham) for using Obama's middle name, Hussein? Anybody remember the shameful treatment his 'staff' showed Sarah Palin after she agreed to be his VP choice? Anybody remember how he refused to play to win, choosing instead to play 'not to lose' and lost by so doing? Anybody remember how limp-wristed his 'campaign' was? He positively refused to attack or speak negatively about an opponent who had no such scruples and trashed him routinely with impunity because he knew McLame had no balls for a fight. We're still paying the price for McLame's ball-lessness, and now he has the nerve to attack Michelle Bachmann, who has more balls in her little finger than he has in his entire political 'philosophy' ... ? Time to hang it up, John ... you're over the hill and need to be turned out to pasture ... McLame and his fellow 'closet liberal / Progresssives' who attack Bachmann for speaking the truth needs to be publicly censured for his failure to recognize a 'Clear and Present Danger' as posed by the Muslim Brotherhood's infiltration of our agencies. With McLame's help (and Lindsey Grahamnesty's), the MB will find their ascent will go farther and faster than they ever believed possible. This is why it is NEVER a good idea to vote for ANY incumbent. Two terms and out should be the rule rather than the exception ... | |

Posted: 7/21/2012 10:51:06 AM | I'm glad Michele Bachmann and her four fellow Representatives have asked the State Dept.'s Inspector General to look into Mrs. Anthony "Flash" Weiner's connections with the Muslim Brotherhood and report back to Congress. Sen. McCain's claim that these connections are "unspecifed" and "unsubstantiated" is not true. They are both.
Egypt is the most populous Arab country. Its new president, Mohammed Morsi, is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood created HAMAS, the jihadist organization that rules Gaza. The current leader of Al Qaeda was prominent in the Muslim Brotherhood for years. So was Omar Abdel Rahman, aka the "Blind Sheikh," an Islamist cleric who was convicted of leading the conspiracy that resulted in the 1993 bombing that nearly brought down the World Trade Center, eight years before his pals finished the job on 9/11.
And yet, with all that and much more, it's unreasonable to ask an official to do exactly the kind of checking his office was created to do, when the person to be checked is a senior adviser on Middle East affairs to the U.S. Secretary of State, when that entire region is now as unstable as ever in recent history, when her father, mother and brother have significant, known, specific connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, and when this country's policy toward that jihadist, shariah-loving organization has become very much warmer and friendlier since Sen. McCain's adored Ms. Abedin has had Ms. Clinton's ear? Good God Almighty.
The response I see from so-called liberals is predictably lame and simple-minded--slander Rep. Bachmann personally, defend the Appeaser-in-Chief, and cite Sen. McCain as a lone voice of reason among all the "McCarthyites" and "teabaggers" who want to persecute innocent, peace-loving Muslims. But for people who are less dim, less dishonest, or both, I'm including a link to a very informative article.
First, a few words of warning. The article is from a magazine started by that notorious far-right mouthbreather William F. Buckley. Its author obviously hates all Muslims, having led the team of federal lawyers who prosecuted the Blind Sheikh (who Egypt's new jihad-and shariah-loving president is now pressing the U.S. to let out of prison) for the first Trade Center bombing. Finally, reading this article is not advisable for any "liberal"--and that probably includes most of them--who considers remarks by people like Janeane Garofalo and Al Sharpton intelligent commentary. It will expose them to facts, which they are very likely to find novel and troubling.

U.S. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, denounced by Sen. John McCain, has doubled down on her crusade to investigate American Muslims with an attack on a House colleague from Minnesota who is the first Muslim elected to Congress.
The Republican congresswoman, who ran for the GOP presidential nomination, charged without producing evidence that Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., “has a long record of being associated with (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) and the Muslim Brotherhood.”

"Bat-shit crazy" just doesn't cover it anymore... It's going to take a whole new metaphor to describe just how "round the bend" these delusional, self-proclaimed "counter-jihadi" psychopaths have become...
I'm wondering how much longer it will be before this skanky attention-whore and her few simpering, spineless allies and supporters are demanding a House committee to investigate "un-American activities"... | |

Whatever you say. But I notice you didn't address any of the relevant facts. Maybe that's because it's so easier to make waspish, off-topic ad hominem attacks than to make a reasoned argument.
<div class="quote">Yeah, and this is why everyone knows you're full of shit.
I doubt you have any idea what "everyone knows," about that or anything else. Since you brought it up, it's clear to me that you are full of it--but I don't feel the need to address other posters that way. You rely on dumb personal insults--as usual--rather than trying to rebut either the facts I presented, or the many more detailed facts in the article. Why? You can't, because you know nothing about those facts.
<div class="quote">You wanna go ahead and loosen your birther belt while you're at it? You're jsut dying to go all Trump, aren't you?
I don't know what you're talking about, and it's painfully obvious you don't either.
<div class="quote">Because it's entirely within the bounds of reason to believe that someone THAT close to the SecState is a double secret member of the Muslim brotherhood.
Neither Rep. Bachmann nor the other representatives, nor anyone else I've heard, has said they believe that. All they are asking the Inspector General of the State Dept. to do is exactly the kind of thing Congress created his office to do. Under that office's own rules, Ms. Abedin is a prime candidate for vetting for several reasons. The article I linked to lists a number of specific indications of a sea change in the State Dept.'s attitude toward the Muslim Brotherhood during the time she has been a close adviser to Mrs. Clinton on that subject.
There is no question about the connections between this woman's father, mother, and brother and the Muslim Brotherhood. If you want to press the point, I can detail those connections here, and let you try to refute them. I'd like to see you try.
<div class="quote">When you find yourself agreeing with Batshit Bachmann, you're a joke.
You're welcome to your idea of who and what is a joke. I have my own. | |

What facts...? All you've done is play the same delusional "counter-jihadi" whackjob version of "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" that the delusional "counter jihadi" whackjob author and that bat-shit crazy (still haven't found a sufficent metaphor) attention-whoring skank are playing... Making dubious, stretch-to-the-point-of-incredulity linkages is not presenting facts, it's acting like a delusional "counter-jihadi" whackjob... There are no "facts" to rebut in this whacked out version of "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" any more than there are "facts" to rebut in "creation theory"...
The article I linked to lists a number of specific indications of a sea change in the State Dept.'s attitude toward the Muslim Brotherhood during the time she has been a close adviser to Mrs. Clinton on that subject.
Delusional "counter jihadi" whackjob imaginings about "jihadi infiltration" and "fifth columnist liberal enablers" is not a "sea change"... It's evidence of self-reinforcing delusion and nothing more... | |

Posted: 7/22/2012 4:09:08 AM | As Americans learned in the 50s, it is a waste of time trying to reason with Islamophobic McCarthyites.
Meanwhile, a bit of good news in a victory against the Murfreesboro, Tn. McCarthyites. A federal judge has ruled in favor of the Muslim community there under seige from the hate mongers and local political structure.
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/19/us/judge-allows-muslims-to-use-murfreesboro-mosque.html
I admire the Muslim community there including the 400 kids who attend MTSU, in standing their ground as a small minority against a hoard of hostile ignoranuses. They put up with bomb threats and arson but stood their ground for their faith and the Constitution. | |

The Murfreesboro bigots would naturally mirror their islamophobic counterparts across the pond. This area was taken over from the natives by scots/irish/english descendents.
At the same time the Murfreesboro anti-constitutionalist islamophobes were doing their best to stop the mosque, including firebombing construction equipment, in Cordova, Tn, a church opened it's doors for it's Islamic neighbors to use their church while the mosque was under construction.

Bachmann's former campaign chief -- shame on you, Michele
By Edward Rollins
Published July 18, 2012
FoxNews.com
I have been a practitioner of tough politics for many decades. There is little that amazes me and even less that shocks me. I have to say that Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s outrageous and false charges against a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin reaches that threshold.
Her unsubstantiated charge against Abedin, a widely respected top aide to Secretary Hillary Clinton, accusing her of some sort of far-fetched connection to the Muslim brotherhood, is extreme and dishonest.
Having worked for Congressman Bachman’s campaign for president, I am fully aware that she sometimes has difficulty with her facts, but this is downright vicious and reaches the late Senator Joe McCarthy level. (Joe McCarthy falsely made claims that there were large numbers of Communists and Soviet spies inside the State Department in the early 1950’s. On December 2, 1954, the Senate voted to "condemn" McCarthy on two counts.)
Senator John McCain, an American hero, stood on the floor of the Senate Wednesday and condemned Mrs. Bachmann, if not by name then by her actions:
“These allegations about Huma and the report from which they are drawn are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American and a loyal public servant."
The Republican Party, which John McCain led as our nominee in 2008, is going to become irrelevant if we become the party of intolerance and hate. The party founded by Abraham Lincoln was a party that fought slavery and intolerance at every level.
I can assure Mrs. Bachmann, that Ms. Abedin has been thru every top clearance available and would never have been given her position with any questions of her loyalty to this country.
As a member of Congress, with a seat on the House Intelligence Committee, Mrs. Bachmann you know better. Shame on you, Michele! You should stand on the floor of the House and apologize to Huma Abedin and to Secretary Clinton and to the millions of hard working,loyal, Muslim Americans for your wild and unsubstantiated charges. As a devoted Christian, you need to ask forgiveness for this grievous lack of judgment and reckless behavior.

As Americans learned in the 50s, it is a waste of time trying to reason with Islamophobic McCarthyites.
You are no better informed about the facts in this matter than you are about the facts that have vindicated Sen. McCarthy. As for Rollins, it's not hard to see why Rep. Bachmann doesn't want his services these days. His statement about Sen. McCarthy is false--whether out of ignorance or because Rollins is a damned liar, I don't know. There is now an enormous body of evidence, some of it from government intercepts of Soviet diplomatic cables declassified in the 1990's, that proves beyond any doubt that quite a few senior officials in the U.S. government (we know both their code names and their real identities) were Soviet agents.
#17:
There are no "facts" to rebut
That's what John McCain said. It is false. I didn't want to take the space here, so I linked to an article that documents the facts of this matter. I will try to go into those facts in another post.
the delusional "counter jihadi" whackjob author and that bat-shit crazy (still haven't found a sufficent metaphor) attention-whoring skank are playing
Still more evidence that leftists never tire of defending jihadists. Your silly ad hominem screeching is a poor substitute for reasoned debate, no matter what metaphors you use.
#20
What a pathetic excuse for a human being.
I'll take your opinion for all it's worth.
Facts? Where are YOUR facts? Where are HER facts? Apropos of NOTHING, without a single bit of evidence, Batshit Bachmann in proposing a witchhunt based on what? Being related ISN'T a crime.
It is not a "witchhunt" for five members of Congress to ask the Inspector General's office to do the very kind of vetting of State Dept. officials it was created to do. It's routine for that office to investigate the associations of officials in sensitive positions--and the associations of members of their family.
Before intelligence agencies place an official in a job that gives him access to the most secret information and influence over the most sensitive foreign policy decisions, they look into every sort of association that might possibly compromise him. This woman is advising the second most powerful official in the federal government on extremely important foreign policy issues involving this country's policy toward an Islamic supremacist organization that is dedicated to shariah, that created HAMAS, and that has been deeply involved in jihadist violence. Especially when U.S. policy toward the Muslim Brotherhood has steadily been getting friendlier, even the least possibility that the most important adviser on that policy is sympathetic to that organization should get everyone's attention. | |

There is nothing to answer... Ignorant horsesh!t does not deserve an answer beyond holding one's nose and "bagging" it (do you like my "poop 'n' scoop" analogy?)...
This is no different than asserting that I am a hard-core, right-wing anti-communist because my father was a marine in the Korean War and that any left-wing things I say MUST be misdirection and cover for my "true" beliefs...
Still more evidence that leftists never tire of defending jihadists.
So now criticizing delusional "counter jihadi" whackjobs and that bat-shit crazy (still haven't found a sufficent metaphor) attention-whoring skank is "defending jihadists"... If you are wondering why no-one buys into your ignorant conspiracy rantings, just give that line a bit of thought... you just might figure it out (hope springs eternal, eh?)...
It is not a "witchhunt" for five members of Congress to ask the Inspector General's office to do the very kind of vetting of State Dept. officials it was created to do.
It is if you are basing it on the pychopathic imaginings of delusional "counter-jihadi" whackjobs... | |

Posted: 7/22/2012 11:42:38 AM | Interesting exchanges...but we have to go to the video tape on this one. Mental Michele has more than enough evidence against her, to question ANYTHING she says, and truly discount it's truth or sincerity! She is a head case and since many snippets of her statements are WRONG or outright lies 60% of the time, who in their right mind would listen? The truth of the matter is unlike taxes, or spending cuts, ONLY 4 members have chosen to stand with her...So let's go to the video tape:
"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama I just think it's an interesting coincidence"
So there you go, see guys, Obama was responsible for swine flu when he was what...3?
"And what a bizarre time we're in, when a judge will say to little children that you can't say the pledge of alligence but you must learn that homosexuality is normal and you should try it"
I'm sure the judge told everyone they should try homosexuality...
"Not all cultures are equal"
I guess only the ones she agrees with are...
"Gay marriage is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last 30 years"
Ya think? Not the recession, not unemployment, not the debt, not the banks, not the 2 wars, not the do nothing congress with an 10% approval rate....the woman is a wack job
"Carbon Dioxide is portrayed as harmful but there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas"
Perhaps she either was stuck in a room with a lot of it, or should be...take your choice! Now one of my favs!
"If we took away the minimum wage if conceivably it was gone we could potentially, virtually wipe out unemployment completely"
Yes YES!!! People could then take jobs for 60 cents an hour, and improve profits, but NOT afford to live!
"I just take the bible for what it is, I guess, and recognize that I am not a scientist, not trained to be a scientist. I'm not a deep thinker"
Well no shit, batshit michele...we couldn't have figured that out on our own!
When you take these, along with her statements on Terri Schiavo and her health issues. Or her stance that Iran will first use nuclear weapon on Israel then turn them on the USA, when NO ONE in Iran has said this or even alluded to it, only shows her state of mind.
These statements all came with the last 2 year...never mind the shit she said on the house floor for the years before...I have no idea what is wrong with the people of Minnesota that they would elect a bottom feeder like this, but it shows her complete disregard of facts...
So based on the accumulated evidence, why would anyone think she had it right this time? | |

Posted: 7/22/2012 2:01:58 PM | So based on the accumulated evidence, why would anyone think she had it right this time?
It doesn't appear as though evidence (actual evidence) is of any importance to her or those like her (like the self-styled "counter jihadis")...
For them, "evidence" is whatever supports their delusional, fascist fantasies and imaginings... That may be why REAL evidence (like such as noted in the post above) and criticism of their delusions and imaginings is dismissed as the misdirection and deceit of "jihadi infiltrators" and their "fifth column liberal enablers"... This is also why McCain and other conservatives who criticize them are classed as "not true conservatives" (because they all know that true conservatives would support their delusions, fantasies and imaginings)... | |

Anybody remember the shameful treatment his 'staff' showed Sarah Palin after she agreed to be his VP choice?

We're still paying the price for McLame's ball-lessness, and now he has the nerve to attack Michelle Bachmann, who has more balls in her little finger than he has in his entire political 'philosophy' ... ?
McLame? Wow.
Of all the people in politics in the US to criticize, the last person I would have expected would be somebody respected and admired by both sides. This is a bloke who showed unbelievable strength of character by refusing to leave his imprisoned comrades in Vietnam when given the opportunity to do so, despite being permanently disabled as a result of his own torture.
In a rush of blood to the head he chose Palin as running mate and his staff had to spend their time putting out bushfires all the way up to the election as as result.
He chose not to take the low road because he is a man of honour and it's beneath contempt to attack him for appearing weak.
Palin and Bachmann, it appears, have no problem at all in taking the low road.
Like it or not the US does not exist inside a bubble and it does matter to the rest of the world who your president is.
If Mc Cain had won he would have been seen as a great president but the chance that he might fall ill and have Palin take over the reins was just too horrific to contemplate. | |
