Huh?

This is the congressman who complained that he was "profiled" and kept off a plane on October 4. Here are two threads that discuss it:

Rep. Issa Says Airline Kept Him off Flight Because of His Lebanese Heritage

Rep. Issa: I Was Profiling Victim

What's with this guy? Any FReeper constituents?

[bond7]

Issa ain't-ah make-ah much-ah sense.

[financeprof]

Darrell Issa moron--ever heard of the Marine Barracks bombing, son?.

What's with this guy? Any FReeper constituents?

I'm near enough to join a FReep, but I'm not physically in his district.

[JD86]

In my opinion, Rep Darrell Issa is either not playing with a full deck, on the take for a lot of money, or has been smoking some funny weed.....or all of the above.

ISSA'S WEB PAGE

This is his district.

[xm177e2]

It says he was quoted by IRNA, the "The official Iranian news agency," so we'll have to see if he denies even having said this.

[Shermy]

Good point. He may not have said it. Then Maybe he did. Then maybe he'll deny it, meaning the actual words, but he said the same thing with words a little different--a typical politician trick.

The map indicates that Issa's lo0cal papers would be in San Diego and Orange Counties, California.

He'sfullabull-ah

I'm also near enough to join a FReep, but like you, I'll await confirmation that Issa actually stated the vile that the article attributes to him. Issa did state a lot of self-pitying, inane, blather about his "unfair" treatment, so who knows where he keeps his head? I have my suspicions.

What's he doing flying to the middle east anyway? Probably reporting to his Islam leadership. This guy should be recalled and deported.

Rep. Darrell Issa Says Hezbollah is Legitimate and Never Been Involved with Terrorist Activities

And the Red Brigade was a sewing circle.

Hey, Darrell! Let me talk to your other brother Darrell.

[monkeyshine]

What a liar. They are considered terrorist even by their Muslim brethren. This, taken from an anti-terror Muslim run website:

They bombed “Rafideyn Bank” on 19 July 1984, that belonged to Iran and that was located in Hamra Main Street, Sedat Street in Beirut.

They hijacked MEA plane, which was on the way to Abu Dabi- Beirut, on July 21 1984. Then they had surrendered to security forces.

They kidnapped Canterbury (UK) archbishop private representative Terry WALTE on January 20, 1987.

On January 27, 1987, they kidnapped German Ralph SCHREA in Beirut and this person was released on March 3, 1988.

On July 31, 1987, by the command of Humeyni, they caused the occurrence of bloody actions in the Holy Land, Saudi Arabia by affecting the Iranian Pilgrims and pilgrims from other countries who went to Saudi Arabia for implementing their pilgrimage obligation. Hizbullah Organization is supposed to carry out these activities as the administration types of these Muslim countries do not comply with Islamic administration.

Nixon country. How far we have fallen.

I think Issa might have what is known as a "loyalty" problem. I feel a FReep in the air.

[JonH]

Unbelievable...probably soliciting campaign donations.

[RightField]

I live in his district and voted for him. I'll post any comments from tomorrow's local papers.

Even if he denies it, he still might have said it =) there are so many possibilities.

If he doesn't deny it or immediately apologize, we will have to FReep him, even harder than we FReeped Condit, the confirmed murder of several hundred US Marines is of far higher importance than the alleged murder of one Washington intern.

I expect him to denounce Hizbullah as an anti-American terrorist group, anything less warrants a FReep.

(And how can any Arab Christian support Arab Muslims??? Just look at what the Muslims did to Lebanon)
