Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

While a Washington-based Muslim organization the government classifies as an unindicted terror co-conspirator – and which has, in fact, seen several of its leaders imprisoned on terrorism convictions – scoffed last week at congressional charges it was attempting to plant interns and staffers in key Capitol Hill offices to influence policy, a hot-selling new book documents the controversial group is successfully doing precisely that.
Last Tuesday, four lawmakers held a Capitol Hill press conference demanding three separate federal investigations of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., founder of the Congressional Anti-terrorism Caucus which has over 100 members both Democrat and Republican, was joined by Reps. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., John Shadegg R-Ariz., and Paul Broun R-Ga., in calling on the Justice Department to share with Congress findings that caused the FBI to officially sever ties with CAIR. The four also requested that the Capitol's sergeant at arms determine whether CAIR had infiltrated congressional offices, and that IRS investigate the legality of CAIR's non-profit status.
Prompting the congressional demands was the release last week of "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America" by P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry. The book is based in part on a daring six-month undercover investigation that resulted in many alarming revelations about the supposedly "moderate" group, backed by 12,000 pages of internal documents.
One document obtained during the investigation, cited by Myrick during the press conference, outlined a CAIR plan to launch an influence operation against members of key congressional committees, while planting CAIR staffers and interns inside congressional offices. Myrick and the others were particularly concerned that the CAIR memo focused especially on judiciary, intelligence, and homeland security committees.

Why do you need spies when you’ve got the Obama administration in your pocket?
Yeah they need planted all right.
you can bet that POS Grover Norquist, who is a fund raiser, agenda setter and lobbist for that front group for muslim terrorists, (C.A.I.R.), is up to his gills in any anti American dealings.

This should not be news to anyone...the communists did it in the 40’s till they got a president in....Obama...
great! thanks Cindy, just a valuable list for those of us who keep, or try to, a close eye on C.A.I.R. I will bet you are up on Grover Norquist efforts for this terrorist front group huh?
For the same reason that FDR,Carter and Klintoon filled the government agencies with their fellow-traveller spies/employees. To be able to cause havoc and undermine the U.S. even in the event (rapidly becoming remote) that the serfs would see fit to elect a nonbeliever....
The only way to rid an area of deadly mosquitoes is to cover the the surface of the breeding pools with a killing film....Allow no more breeding.....Swatting the ones flying around does no good at all!
The obama administration already has the muslim fifth columnist Dalia Mogahed as an “advisor”:
This is all out in the open—no spies needed!!!!
obama himself is an open muslim collaborator, as shown by his Cairo and Ankara speeches, and by his cutting off support to the Iranian democratic opposition, among other things. He even got the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing “peace” by his collaboration with islam. And he may well be a muslim himself, along with being a communist. What a combination!!!!
