Congress fails to adopt lawsuit guards
WASHINGTON, July 20 (UPI) -- Protection from lawsuits for wrongly reporting suspicious behavior has failed to pass the U.S. Congress.
The legislation was inspired by a suit brought by a group of Muslim imams who were removed from a U.S. Airways flight to Phoenix before it left Minneapolis last November, The Washington Times reported. Some passengers on the plane said they had seen the imams, behaving suspiciously by praying together before boarding.
The imams, who were allowed to leave after several hours of FBI questioning, sued the airline, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission and unnamed passengers.
Democratic leaders said that the lawsuit protection could lead to racial profiling. The provision was kept out of a homeland security bill during a House-Senate conference.
"This is a slap in the face of good citizens who do their patriotic duty and come forward, and it caves in to radical Islamists," said Rep. Peter King, R-NY, who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee.

Time to take names again and publish how each of them voted. Their votes will make get ads during election season. The American people need to be reminded how each and every one of these elitists voted. Those that voted against the American people need to be sent home in disgrace.
That statement is ridiculous. You can't "wrongly" report suspicious behavior. Suspicious is suspicious.
The Democrats would prefer that we are mute, sitting ducks, not even able to use our own good sense. Our safety is but a pawn in their game for power.

Like 9/11 and all the other sh$t was pure fantasy.
Liberalism is a fatal disease.
Why don’t the Dems just come out and pass the Terrorist Protection Act of 2007, making it a crime to report anybody Acting Suspiciously While Muslim? Just so we know where we stand.
Gosh, the poor dears, they were just praying, not marching up and down shouting "Allah Akbar", eyeballing everybody on the plane, demanding seat belt extenders they didn't need, etc.
Right, praying.
To All Democrat Freepers reading this: If and when there is another attack, YOU will have blood on your hands because YOU have ELECTED these TRAITORS!!! YOU want AMERICA to be DEFEATED by these Jihadis because you despise Bush more than you care about your FAMILY....you can't RUN AWAY from this.....you COULD call your Rep. and Senators and tell them you want America to WIN!!! Otherwise, don't be shocked at decent people SHUNNING and DESPISING YOU!!!
Enough is ENOUGH!! Help us BEAT this Hideous ENEMY of ALL of us!! YOU may be on Their side, but they want YOU KILLED also! Stand Up for your Family and your Country!
Whatever happened to the advice for citizens to stay vigilant and to report anything out of the ordinary?
This is all part of the national slow motion suicide process.
The next time I see a sign on the Metro asking me to report any abandoned packages, I’ll think twice about doing so.
All this crap the rats are doing makes me have flashes when the ‘toons’ were in office. The Horror of it All.
Not so slow I'm afraid!

Democrats Who Want You Sued For Reporting Terrorism
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/188762.php
These morons voted against lawsuit protection from Islamic grievance rackets like CAIR for reporting such things as noticing jihad videos being developed by jihadis at Circuit City.
They’re strong on national security - just not on letting the average person tip them off to suspicious behavior. They’ll handle it, thank you. They can’t even seem to pinpoint where 7 billion of their pathetic pork projects is going, but they have a lock on knowing what Johnny Jihad is up to at any one moment.

These photos need to be sent to each member of Congress to remind them that we are at war for our survival. Remind them what took place on 9/11. It is apparent by their actions and by the vile words that come out of their traitorous mouths that they have, indeed, forgotten. They are reprehensible and I question the oath they took when they went into office. They, obviously, lied when they said they would protect and defend this country. Our founding fathers are turning in their graves.
