If you need any more evidence why Chas Freeman was not fit to hold the office of Director of the National Intelligence Council, have a look at his paranoid, antisemitic statement about his withdrawal: Exiting, Chas Freeman Attacks ‘Israel Lobby’.
"Freeman says, “The libels on me and their easily traceable email trails show conclusively that there is a powerful lobby determined to prevent any view other than its own from being aired, still less to factor in American understanding of trends and events in the Middle East. The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth. The aim of this Lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a veto over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its views, the substitution of political correctness for analysis, and the exclusion of any and all options for decision by Americans and our government other than those that it favors.”
Wow. This is the man Barack Obama picked for a sensitive job related to foreign policy.
Of course, I'm sure the next pick for the post by the 0 team will be just as qualified.
I’m wondering if somebody could get Freeman to re-issue that statement in the original German?
Yep, there's no shortage of Saudi Stooges out there.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Where does Obama find this endless supply of losers, psychos, tax cheats, sociopaths and vermin for his administration?
Cripes, I could do better tossing darts at rhe phone book.
It's rather easy for them...as they say, "Birds of a feather flock together..."
So, e-mails have been traced? Coming from a would-be Director of the National Security Council, I'd say we dodged a bullet in more ways than one.
Cut Freeman some slack, he lost an uncle in the Holocaust.

He fell out of a guard tower.
The next one will just have a “small” problem with the IRS.
(1) Happy trails to you, Chas.
(2) That's the words of a man who abuses his office to bear grudges against the public. Good Riddance!
(3) Happy trails to you, Chas. Enjoy!
Maybe Obambi could get Hazel O’Leary back to give away more of our nuclear and intelligence secrets.
It’s a miracle that millions of Americans haven’t died from her treason and perfidy.
The “liberals”, socialists, so called “Democrats” and their head amateur traitor, Hussein Obambi are actively working to destroy America and freedom in the entire world.
They’re all fascists.
Good ones!
I'll pass it on to Rush!
---- but feel free to use it anywhere in WaPo or NYT or MSNBC or CNN, ect. comment section!
does the sun rise in the east?
You sure nailed him.
Since Jews voted OVERWHELMINGLY for Obama. I almost wish that Freeman had made it thru, just to teach them a lesson.
I’m sure AIPAC wasn’t too thrilled with Chas Freeman.
However, I don’t think they needed to resort to “willful distortions” to raise serious questions about Freeman’s nomination.
The facts are so appalling that they speak for themselves.
But then Freeman really seals the deal by alleging a secret cabal of nefarious Jews were out to silence him.
However, the only secret cabal in this entire episode was the MSM who ever so delicately avoided discussing the nominee or his views until he withdrew.
How about Freeman saying this in his statement? What a nutjob. Man, talk about dodging a bullet with this guy!
When Admiral Blair asked me to chair the NIC I responded that I understood he was "asking me to give my freedom of speech, my leisure, the greater part of my income, subject myself to the mental colonoscopy of a polygraph, and resume a daily commute to a job with long working hours and a daily ration of political abuse." I added that I wondered "whether there wasn't some sort of downside to this offer." I was mindful that no one is indispensable; I am not an exception. It took weeks of reflection for me to conclude that, given the unprecedentedly challenging circumstances in which our country now finds itself abroad and at home, I had no choice but accept the call to return to public service. I thereupon resigned from all positions that I had held and all activities in which I was engaged. I now look forward to returning to private life, freed of all previous obligations.
(looks like he can't wait to crawl back into bed with the Saudis and Chi-Coms)
LOL.
Obama threw darts at a phonebook of Dem and Socialist Party members.
Absolutely!
