IOWA'S STEVE KING, AS ONLY HE CAN

STEVE KING. IOWA'S POSTER BOY FOR IGNORANCE

Muslim Americans are fighting back against Rep. Steve King’s suggestion on Thursday that the U.S. government should spy on mosques to stop the recruitment of fighters into the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

“The radical Islamists have 1.3 or more billion Muslims to work with,” the Iowa congressman said on The Steve Deace Show. “Now they aren’t all supporters… but that is a huge population to draw from,” he continued, suggesting that recruiters are “certainly in the United States,” particularly in mosques in Virginia and Minneapolis. “So they have a network that they flow in. And it isn’t that all Muslims are a supporter of ISIS but the network that flows through the mosques is certainly the communications centers. We ought to be looking at this dot to dot. And we ought to have people sitting in those mosques watching to see what’s going on,” he explained.

The United States government estimates that more than 100 Americans are already fighting in Syria’s civil war and dozen of whom are part of ISIS.

But American Muslims view ISIS as an abomination to Islam and the group itself has little regard for the fundamental tenets of Islam, blowing up copies of the Qur’an, killing fellow Muslims, and slaughtering innocent youth and using rape and sexual slavery as a weapon.

Virtually every single American Muslim organization has publicly disavowed both the ideology and the practices of ISIS and just a day before King’s remarks dozens of Muslim American clerics and community leaders distanced their religion from the beliefs of the terrorist extremists. “ISIS and al Qaeda represent a warped religious ideology,” Faizal Khan, imam of the Islamic Society of America mosque in Silver Spring, said during a press conference with Muslim-American leaders from Indonesia, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Sudan and Trinidad. “Either we reject this violence in the clearest possible terms, or we allow them to become the face of Islam and the world’s perception of us for years to come.”

On Thursday, Muslims in Virginia responded directly to King’s comments. “It’s really reprehensible, red meat rhetoric being thrown out there,” Mahdi Bray of the American Muslim Alliance told the local NBC affiliate in Washington D.C. “No. we don’t need spies in mosques. I think we went through that with Hoover, with Dr. Martin Luther King and that didn’t work either, he saw a communist behind every sheet. So I don’t think there’s a need for that and actually — and, again, this goes back to my original characterization of this being un-American.”

Following the terrorist attacks of Sep. 11, 2001, the FBI routinely spied on Muslims in mosques. The New York Police Department recently disbanded a unit responsible for infiltrating and eavesdropping on New York’s Muslim communities and in San Francisco, the the FBI in San Francisco used a public relations program “to collect information on the religious views and practices of Muslims in Northern California and then shared the intelligence with other government agencies.”

CREDIT WHERE IT'S NOT DUE

The house version of the American Taliban who voted against the final passage of the Violence Against Women Act [VAWA] are taking credit for helping renew the domestic abuse legislation.

I have said numerous times, that there is nothing beyond the pale of the GOP, they are truly a special kind of stupid.

The lawmakers’ desire to have it both ways reflects the irreconcilable tension between wanting to appear on the right side of an extremely popular issue and wanting to preserve their credibility with American Taliban groups who vowed to punish those who voted for VAWA.

DECEPTION GOP STYLE: ED SCHULTZ

The GOP's war on women is well documented on this blog, but the fact that these spineless people fought tooth and nail against this version of the bill and now take credit for it, these are the very humans whom will stab their own birth mother in the back for glamour and glitz and accolades of the Koch whores.

The facts:

House Republicans voted 87-138 against final passage of VAWA. They voted for the failed GOP alternative. The final VAWA, which passed 78-22 in the Senate, cleared the House 286-138, with mostly Democratic votes.

The fact that these GOPers are willing to do this type [while its a just another bowl movement from the party hate and discontent] of politicking, the politics of telling their people in town hall meetings one thing and then voting in Washington differently, is a reminder to vote these asshats out office when the time comes.

The sad business of this is, the unlettered GOP voter is not able to comprehend the hypocrisy of it all, or if they are cognizant enough they turn a blind eye. Which is worse?

Gee what a surprise it is to see these very same hypocrites who posed for pictures holding big stimulus checks at home after they voted against the stimulus in Congress.

The list of lying deceptive GOPers are: Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), Rep. Keith Rothfus (R-Pa.), Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), Reps. Tim Griffin (R-AR), Bill Johnson (R-OH).and Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.)

The douche bag's of all douche bag's, the hicks from the sticks, these GOPers who are so low they can walk under a snake's belly and never muss a hair. Certainly consistency in deceiving our country would be considered some sort of virtue by someone, somewhere.
