She makes Helen Thomas seem like one of Charlie's Angels.

But there's no connection between America-hating arab, muslim terrorists and America-hating domestic terrorists (the left).

None what-so-ever.

Sorry. You can be the 'tosser', not the 'tossee'. We'll let a rabid ferret take your seat.

[sarah_f]

True.

Scenario: President Clinton will pardon her after promising CAIR to do so if she gets the terrorist vote and wins the 2008 election.

I just happened to be channel surfing my car radio when I heard this on NPR. Of course, they were wailing an moaning .

Will she ever be allowed to pratice law again?

Could this be a clue to what the long anticipated 72 virgins look like?

Ain't they a pretty pair....

[Grampa Dave]

That would be a true hell if she represents the 72 virgins.

Very good! Now put her flabby a$$ in the slammer and start investigating whether the information she passed was responsible for ONE death of ONE American citizen then prepare a case of accomplice to MURDER. That will keep her flabby, commie butt in there for the rest of her lousey life. This woman is wasting perfectly good oxygen.

"A Traitor being convicted is good news.
A Traitor receiving the death penalty would be better."

Well it ain't exactly the 10,001st lawyer at the bottom of the sea, but it's a start.

in this country that perpetuates sexism and racism

Now, let me see if I get this straight--she's so revolted by sexism and racism, she takes up the cause of a group that advocates the killing of Jews and Christians, and who have raised the oppression of women to a fine art?

How about the Coptic family in Jersey City? The family that was murdered.

Their cousin was the translator for the FBI in this court case.

She's been convicted of a felony (two, as a matter of fact). She's going to do some time in a federal pen (how many years is up to the judge, although her lawyers will push for probation). Her law license is going to be pulled.

It's a very good day.

[JonDavid]

She is what the Communist refers to as a useful idiot.

[Cicero]

Great news. A recent article posted here suggested that there might be jury problems, maybe a hung jury. This is super.

Whatever sentence she gets, she's cooked. Disbarment is certain after a conviction for a major crime, and not only that but a crime that involves dereliction of her duties as a lawyer.

WOO HOO!

Make an example of her. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR TERRORIST VERMIN AND THEIR SUPPORTERS
