Schumer calls Conservatives "UnAmerican"
New York Sun ^ | April 18, 2005 | LUIZA Ch. SAVAGE

WASHINGTON - Senator Schumer yesterday labeled the head of the conservative Christian Family Research Council "un-American" for accusing Democrats of using the filibuster to block religious judicial nominees.

The accusation came as the Senate majority leader, William Frist of Tennessee, plans to make a speech to a conference organized by the group Sunday. The nationally televised event will argue for an end to the Democrats' ability to use filibusters to delay judicial nominations in the Senate.

Like Joe McCarthy, Schumer is calling anyone who disagrees with him "UnAmerican".

Of course, it made sense to call Communist Spies "UnAmerican".

Schumer wants us all of Christians and people of faith to stay out of politics and leave it to the progressives and the NYT.

Citing Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Kennedy is expected, because they are "bugaboos of the right," she said. "Then they throw in Chuck Schumer, you start to think they were looking for a Jewish name, and I think that is a real problem," Ms. Roberts said.

"Schumer" is a Jewish name? I wouldn't recognize it as such. It reminds me of Howard Cosell's complaints that his bad public image was due to anti-Semitism. Until I read that comment, I hadn't even known that Cosell (nee Cohen as it turns out) was Jewish.

[Hagel]: "I do not like this approach. It's a dangerous approach and it's an irresponsible approach, and it further erodes the constitutional minority rights in the Senate,"

"Constitutional minority rights"? Uh, where in the Constitution is the right to filibuster? And if there was such a right in the Constitution, it would take a lot more than 51 votes to overturn it via an amendment.

Liberals are amazing. No doubt if accused Mr. Cookie Roberts of being anti-Christian they would say you hate Jews.

Didn't know Steve Roberts (Mr. Kooky Roberts) was Jewish?

Well now you do, and if criticize him, you're an anti-semite.

Liberals like Schumer hate the Constitution (as written), hate the military, hate anything to do with God (unless it's Allah), hate democracy, hate states' rights, hate our history, hate our flag and hate free enterprise. But conservatives are un-American.

While I'd never advocate that someone bring harm to Charles Schumer I do hereby pledge $1,000 to the defense fund of anyone who does.

I would love to hear Schumer's description of an American...

As a matter of fact, forget it.......I already KNOW Schumer's ideal America --- and it is a very ugly American..

Someone needs to slap the silly shit out of these lunatic leftists who are trying to snatch victory from defeat at the polls..

Semper Fi

I was going to rant and rave but I don't think my word choices would have been appropriate. I really don't know quite how to respond to this. Schumer calling conservatives unAmerican really pi$$es me off. Conservative Senators had better show some backbone and get this moron to eat those words!
