On September 2, eleven members of Congress, led by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), submitted an official 'Dear Colleague' letter to President Bush calling on the dismissal and firing of Lt. Gen. William Boykin as Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence for his anti-Muslim remarks made while in official military uniform.

The letter reads, in part: "One such step…is for you to dismiss Lt. Gen. William Boykin as the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. We were appalled when we learned of the comments General Boykin had made invoking religion in an inflammatory and inappropriate way while in uniform. Many of us hoped at the time that your administration would act promptly to remove him, but you instead decided to give him the benefit of a thorough investigation. Now that investigation has demonstrated what has been clear to many of us all along – namely that General Boykin should not serve as a high intelligence officer of the U.S. government. We find his judgment to be severely lacking on many counts. The offense he has given to hundreds of millions of Muslims in the world clearly can only exacerbate many of the problems we face…"

The other honorable signatories included Rep. James McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Martin Meehan (D-MA), Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY), Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Rep. Fortney Pete Stark (D-CA).

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamofascist’s propaganda organ (think of them as the IRA’s Sinn Fein), wants to discipline LT Gen Mattis, the highly decorated veteran who has devoted his life to protecting his country, because he said it’s fun to shoot vicious animals. For those from the Left, he is what red staters call a patriot . Anyway, CAIR also had a problem with LT Gen Boykin, another patriot whose biography reads like a 4th of July speech. LT Gen Boykin had the nerve to speak to his church in uniform and say that God was on our side( translated for the Left, God is on the side of the people who aren’t beheading civilians and strapping bombs to the mentally ill children). CAIR has some powerful allies against heroes of the United States. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Just in case anybody was wondering who is the enemy of America

On top of everything else, he was Delta Force. He is one of America's finest, hence frightening to terrorists and despised by liberal Democrats.

"With enemies like that, this general must be a good guy!"

My feelings exactly ... the signatories are a rogue's gallery of America's most leftwing anti-GWOT "enemies within" ...

"The other honorable signatories included Rep. James McDermott (D-WA), Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Martin Meehan (D-MA), Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY), Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Rep. Fortney Pete Stark (D-CA)."

etc.

Your description, while accurate, is too long. Let's just cut it down. Let's see...scum...hate America...garbage...I got it! We'll just put a "(D) in front of their name. How's that sound?

You should post this in News/Activism now, while FR's are aware of this CAIR situation. These guys are the Islamofascist/terrorist's ACLU

My thoughts exactly. This reads as a who's who of moonbat leftie fruitcakes. Theres a couple names missing but all the ones present fit the category nicely. I don;t even know what this General said, but if it's anti-Mooslime, and he has these moonbats for adversarys then he has to be ok.

Like Ann says, if you're talking to a liberal and their not a blubbering and spitting idiot then you're not doing it right.

"Wait until they raise hell about the officer that was shown on Fox today, saying it is "fun" to kill the bad guys--- "

That's why I posted this old article. CAIR calling for us to discipline our officers during the war on terrorism is akin to Tojo asking America to fire GEN Doolittle for bombing Tokyo or Hitler demanding that that bastard Patton be reprimanded for using his Nazi's as axle grease on his tanks...

The President should say he doesn't equate slapping women around with being Muslim. Do you, Congressmen?

It's scary that the state of affairs is so bad that these moonbats and enemies of America even have a forum to attack patriots during time of war...

Aren't nearly all of them members of the Progressive Caucus?
