Gotcha! What was Kaine thinking? Bad day for the governor, and an object lesson in lousy staff work.

Also, there are some videos of this Islamic POS spouting hate to be seen at Little Green Footballs.

“I intend to name another representative of the Muslim community to the Commission in the near future.”

I'd settle for someone who's qualified and isn't a racist who wants to bring down this country. Work on the basics, Timmy, then start thinking about social engineering.

It creeps me out that this guy is practicing medicine and operating on infidels a couple of miles from where I live. Geez.

More really horrifying details on this at the Gates of Vienna, including a link to an audio interview (mp3 format) Laura Ingraham did with Dr. Omeish, in which he admits to wanting Shari’a as the law for the U.S.A., if it can be voted in, and that he will work towards that end.

This is another example of:

"Not all Muslims are terrorists. Some of them are doctors and lawyers and family men."

But of course, this guy is a doctor, and he's also a jihadist. The problem is that even the "moderate" Muslims are frequently terrorists.

Did he expect things to turn out any different. Lack of judgment on the part of the governor no doubt.

If people hadn’t called and faxed, this would not have happened. We the people must speak out now, because the damn politicians don’t have a clue. It’s scary.

Maybe the good Governor isn’t as dumb as he looks.

Why would a state need a commission on immigration? Immigration from where? Maryland?

Is Virginia planning on establishing a separate immigration policy from that of the U.S? Or just different from Massachusetts?

(repost from prior thread)

More lowdown on The Muslim American Society, thanks to David Horowitz
and Front Page Mag:

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6263

A look at the headquarters of the society which dare not label it’s
own building...
but is a happy part of The Wahhabi Corridor.
With dial-up, this takes a while to load...but scroll down a bit
and you can see Muslim American Society (MAS) headquarters (at least it
was a couple of years back).

Hopefully the Commonwealth will weather the next 8 or so years with democrats coming out of the woodwork nationally and statewide.

Kaine is a major screwup fiscally and otherwise.

I thought Kaine was one of these new moderate Democrats the party needs to win nationally. What a joke.
