Why was the Huma Abedin story spiked?

Posted on 12/03/2007 6:37:34 AM PST by Astronaut

Drudge had a headline last week that the Times of London was running a story about Huma Abedin, Hillary's lesbian lover. As if having a muslim lesbian girlfriend wasn't explosive enough, there were rumors on the internet that Abedin was an agent of Saudi intelligence. The Clintons sold us out to the Chinese, so why not the Saudis too?

Who killed this story in the US? I expect the liberal media to cover up for Her Thighness, but what happened to our guys? Hannity always shoots his mouth off about being the "Stop Hillary Express"; why isn't he on this? I haven't heard Rush or Levin talk about it either. Why haven't our guys picked up this story and run with it?

“Why haven’t our guys picked up this story and run with it?”

Maybe it’s not true.

Maybe they have the good judgement not to leap and make scurrilous accusations.

Did you check to see if the story ran in Britain? If not, there’s nothing you can do except complain in a vanity post that will likely be deleted.

Maybe Hillary sent them this short 2 word email:

"Foster"
"Brown"

You need to add the keyword: “humaabedin”.

Our guys (Free Republic) ARE all over it.

Why

Because it’s too true.

And satanically “anointed” red BW*tch QUEEN

can’t bear the baggage.

The tyrannical globalists take care of their own sometimes.

These things are not important.
There are too many substantive criticisms of Hillary to adderss before finding time for thicrap.

More importantly- it is totally Hillary’s style to plant fake leads hoping that they get pounced on so that she can later claim to have been “swift boated.” I suspect that she plans to muddy the waters of her piles of scandal with as many fake self-planted scandals so that she can cast suspicion on all of them.

there were rumors on the internet that Abedin was an agent of Saudi intelligence.

Question: How much Saudi money has been invested in media companies in the UK and here in the US?

Bubba is on tape from a Gennifer Flowers phone call stating that Hillary gets more p*ssy than he does. That’s how we know it’s true.

I’d like to have Hillary tell everyone in the US about Huma Abedin’s position as an assistant editor for Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs...

KIDD’s report in a nut shell...

In 1977, Huma Abedin was 2 years old.

Her father was an un-tenured academic, at Western Michigan University, with a newly minted PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, and was desperately in need of funding to establish his career.

He turned to the Saudi Arabian money man, Abdullah Omar Naseef, who would remain his benefactor and his confidant for the remainder of his life.

Huma Abedin’s mother is BFF with the Saudi Arabian’s wife, Fatima Umar Naseef, the radical feminist Wahhabi scholar, to the point that Huma Abedin’s mother has translated & published her works in English.

Huma Abedin’s brother has also been the beneficiary of the Saudi Arabian’s largesse, in the form of a fellowship at the University of Oxford.

Finally, the Saudi Arabian in question, Abdullah Omar Naseef, is Defendant #97 in the World Trade Center lawsuit, and has figured prominently in testimony about terrorist financing before both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.

There was some concern about running it, for fear that it would make anyone who published it look like idiots. That fear was born out in the almost universal bashing of the Times piece, which in itself was only quoting “what we heard” during a dirty campaign season. If they were floating the story, it’s safe to say that it sunk.

We probably won’t be hearing anymore about it from anything close to a mainstream source. These sorts of things end up doing nothing but making Hillary more sympathetic.

The truth is that Hillary’s assistant is really a right wing spy who is part of the VRWC. Shhhhhhh. Don’t tell anybody.

...”Saudi Arabian in question, Abdullah Omar Naseef, is Defendant #97 in the World Trade Center lawsuit” Huma’s papa got money from a terrorist!
She was an editor for a Muslim paper...
Tell me this isn’t worth something on the front pages of all American newspapers.
