The California congressman who called the Sept. 11 attacks "simply" a plane crash ran for cover Wednesday under a barrage of ridicule from fellow Republicans, first responders and victims' families.
San Diego GOP Rep. Darrell Issa was under siege for suggesting the federal government had already done enough to help New York cope with "a fire" that "simply was an aircraft" hitting the World Trade Center.
"That is a pretty distorted view of things," said Frank Fraone, a Menlo Park, Calif., fire chief who led a 67-man crew at Ground Zero. "Whether they're a couple of planes or a couple of missiles, they still did the same damage."
"New York was attacked by Al Qaeda. It doesn't have to be attacked by Congress," added Long Island Rep. Pete King, a Republican.

He is Arab. I didn’t say Islamic.
I guess “German-Arab” may be more precise.
Then so it is.

Ultimately, even many so called moderates end up blurting out where their sympathies lie..

And, no the planes did not kill 3k people. The buildings, yes, the planes no.You are a moron. That's the same thing as saying "people don't kill people, guns do."

We don’t need FEMA expanded. We need to make sure that at all levels of government, people wanting to help aren’t turned down because “we have enough help.” We had minor flooding in Stamford; the National Guard was across the street helping people to get out of their flooded homes. Firefighters told me not to go into the water, even though it was knee deep.

What is Issa's major malfunction? Is he stupid, borderline traitorous, or both? He is an Arab. He is a Hizbollah apologist.
To: LSUfan
With Katrina... I think officials at all levels of government through the affected area failed to act. That’s the mayor and governor. Somebody should have had the power to order an evacuation. Maybe Bush ordering it through the National Guard commander for the state?

But he didn't retract his wacked-out rhetoric claiming the feds "just threw" buckets of cash at New York for an attack "that had no dirty bomb in it, it had no chemical munitions in it." I am a New Yorker, and I agree. Far too much cash was sent to NYC. And far too many rich widows were made richer, which was a total outrage.

“Are the Lebanese not Arab?”
Yes they are but the German half of Darrell Issa is not.
Is a person who is half Irish and half Scot only a Scot?
