Poor Lieberman. A few months back, his aides contacted me about testifying in front of him and Congress regarding the Muslim Brotherhood. During our conference call, his aides seemed to have determined that my characterization of the Brotherhood was not very "nuanced" (evinced by the incessant question, "But some of the Brotherhood are ok, right?" to which I would always answer "No.") Anyway and as expected, that settled that, and I was never re-asked to testify. But even though they took all these "safeguards," here Lieberman is: accused by Muslims of being, in essence, an Islamophobe.
"Arab Americans want Lieberman to lose chair," from JTA, November 18:
WASHINGTON (JTA)—An Arab-American group called on Senate Democrats not to return Sen. Joe Lieberman to his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee.
The letter from the Arab American Institute to U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), the majority leader, cited in particular a report on Islamist extremism and the "Homegrown Terrorist Threat" completed in May under Lieberman’s watch.
"While this committee report appropriately observed the value of outreach and engagement with Arab Americans and American Muslims as vital to securing the freedom and safety of our nation, the overall findings of the report make the dangerous and unsubstantiated claim that the threat posed by violent extremists now comes ‘increasingly from within’ the United States and falsely characterizes Arabs and Muslims in America as ‘susceptible to radicalization,’ " said the letter from institute President James Zogby.

I guess they can just "pound sand."
The report sounds completely true. Muslims don’t like to hear the truth. Screw ‘em.
President James Zogby.....as in Pollster?...............
Reason to support Lieberman.
Leftists/collectivists are all about the end goals, and they don’t care what has to be compromised to get there.
Lieb is a politician, he loves power, so he flows to where the power is.
This was a stupid move on Zogby’s part.
Screw you. With us or against us. There have been a number of members of Al Qaeda and people who went to train with Al Qaeda SINCE 9-11 caught, prosecuted, and convicted in America in the past 2 years.
They should really stop being shills for AQ. They insist that AQ does not represent real Islam so they should partner WITH us in erradicating Al Qaeda rather than defending them by downplaying the threat they pose.
In spite of his stance on the WOT, he still votes with them on most other issues, including social policies.
“falsely characterizes Arabs and Muslims in America as ‘susceptible to radicalization”
Well, they are!! The Koran tells them to be. Sheesh.....
Muslims demand removal of Senator Lieberman from Homeland Security Committee
well that’s the best reason I’ve see so far to keep him ON the committee
They can take their demands and shove it.
So first they came for Emanuel, now they’re against LIEberman.
What next.
I believe it’s his brother.
I’m shocked I tell ya! Imagine, muslims don’t want a Jew serving on the committee.
I thought Lieberman ran as an Independent after losing in the Democrat primary. No?
When the bad guys are against you, that says everything.
Since when do criminals WANT strong laws-and lawmen-who will
stop them?
Can’t say I love Lieberman-BUT- if Muslims don’t want him
that says everything.
Islam is the enemy. Anything that thwarts it has my support.
Oh cut the BS, Muslim Brotherhood and say what you really want, you want us to help you round up the Jews. Well bleep you!
I would suggest that if that doesn’t suffice, they micturate on a length of hemp..
You win the word of the day award! Groucho Marx would give you the award himself, if he were still here.
Muslims demand......
F.U.!....
There thats Better great word by the way ...
He'll site this letter and backing of McCain as proof Leiberman no longer expresses "American values" and will yank the chairmanship from him.
Reid loses nothing, he still has Leibermans socially liberal votes on everything but, The War on Terror, which he never had nor hoped for anyway.
Many thanks!
They may be unable to rise for the occasion..
