Even a narcissistic blind squirrel like Schumer will occasionally find a big fat acorn.

[Grand Old Partisan]

I actually agree with Chuck Schumer on this one.

[Redbob]

Dang, you beat me to it...

"Even a blind pig..."

[MEG33]

I was thinking it while you were typing it.I agree with him on this one.

[Cacophonous]

Actually the problem is the Armed Forces have had the whole idea of diversity jammed down their throats that they couldn't get rid of these creeps anyway, else they would have been accused of discrimination (as if that's a bad thing).

Maybe some good will come of this. I wonder what NY's junior senator thinks on this issue.

[Imagine]

Islam is NOT a religion
– it is a CULT OF HATE

ACTION PLAN:

1) Assemble fleet of troop transport vessels in port cities; 2) move, via bus and/or train all US dwelling Muslims (immigrant or American Born Muslims ABM) to said ports; 3) Load all muslims onto ships, send forthwith to any middle east muslim country; 4) Bulldoze all mosques and islamic schools in US; 5) Concurrently, close borders with military; 6) Pop any American brewed beer, gloat over job well accomplished and relax.

Militant Muslim imams are preaching a distorted, hateful form of Islam to U.S. soldiers and federal prisoners, creating a "dangerous situation," Sen. Charles Schumer charged yesterday. Schumer said the problem is that the Pentagon and the federal Bureau of Prisons select Muslim imams on the advice of Islamic groups in the grip of the fanatical Wahhabism strain of the religion.

Wow! The anti-gun liberal got one right.

Well, as a Joo, I'd expect him to want to ferret out radical Islamics.

[angkor]

You left out the last paragraph of the story:

American Muslim Foundation President Abdurahman Alamoudi said his organization had no role advising the Pentagon. Alamoudi said he formerly gave the Pentagon advice on selecting imams, but "they pushed me out."

Alamoudi, of course, is the fellow who proclaimed his allegiance to the Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations Hamas and Hezbolla at a demonstration in front of the White House.

Schumer is right but can we imagine if a Republican had recommended this? It would be racial profiling at its worst.

[aristeides]

Does anybody know who was giving spiritual counseling to Sgt. Hasan Akbar? (His grenade attack on his officers took place on the Saturday night after a Friday when a fatwa was issued against the U.S. invasion of Iraq.)

[b4its2late]

Schumer must've got this idea from a conservative and because he's up for re-election, he's jumping on it.

He could never formulated this idea on his own. It's a foreign concept to him and his kind.

[Henchman]

Great acorn comment for the nut. He is Conservative ONLY when it is his acorn that is being stolen. Where Oh where were these liberals when there was a need to keep intelligencer agents in the field instead of mandating more computers that Congress didn't fund?

[mabelkitty]

Wow.

Seems like Hillary better get back to the bus real quick.

He's going to force her to stand on principle or shut up.

[Gritty]

As far as I know, no GOP Senator has had the b@lls to bring this subject up.

I hate agreeing with Schmuckie, but for once, I do.

[finnman69]

The lefties wont like this one bit..quick, someone post this at DUmmyland.

[MinuteGal]

Without getting into a discussion on the opportunistic reasons for DemoRAT Schumer's rant, he has brought forward an issue that resonates with the public, including me.

Freepers have been pounding on this from the gitgo. Why hasn't a Republican publicly come up with this a long time ago? Why do we cede the forefront on critical issues like this to the liberals?

(BTW, I know the answer to my own question. Republican legislators are afraid to speak out because the word from high command is that "Islam is a religion of peace" and this fiction must be maintained at all costs.)

[Lancey Howard]

Here we go. Sounds like "Schumer-arthyism" to me.
Go for it.

[rocky88]

I'm actually embarrassed to be a Republican, knowing that it took a DemoRat to bring this issue to the forefront.

HOW CAN WE RID THE MIDDLE EAST OF THESE EXTREMISTS WHEN WE CAN'T EVEN DO IT IN OUR OWN BACKYARD? And we have to rely on Chuckie Schumer for answers to this? Something is very wrong within the administration, I think.

[Khepera]

I saw on Coulter threads that liberals were railing on about McCarthy being responsible for the concept of "Thought Crimes" by going after communists in government positions. I would like to know where these liberals are now and where were they when "Hate crime" legislation was being pushed through as law.

[TheDon]

Liberals don't like anyone else elbowing in on their territory.

[TLBSHOW]

Get them all out NOW!
