CBS 2 - Los Angeles | 12-12-01

FBI alleging that members of the JDL had planned to bomb a mosque in Culver City (L.A.) and the office of Congressman Darrell Issa (who is of Lebanese ancestry).

[StoneColdGOP]

I do believe that would be the one...

[Constitution Day]

Did anyone see the coverage on Fox News last night re: Israeli spying by "art students" within the US?

The JDL is an exception. A very rare thing for Jews to do something like this. BUT Muslim orgs. all over the nation - in Michigan over 89 - are being investigated for terrorist ties. Hardly the same thing. If this is true they are idiots. But Irv Rubin is not stupid so I'll wait to see the evidence.

[Sabramerican]

Ploting to blow up a mosque or kill a congressman just isn't kosher.

Right you are.

But if this idiot wanted to strap a bomb to himself and give the Arabs terrorizing Israel (there) a taste of their own medicine...I would have to think long and hard.

[Cool Guy]

I did. Very interesting turn in the events.

[veronica]

Issa is one of the good guys.

Issa had defended Hizbollah.

[College Repub]

Right. But by that you mean the terrorists..Hamas leader types, not palestinian women and children (even the ones that hate Israel), right?

[Constitution Day]

Hello CG.

How about the part where they were running the "Zoom Copter" kiosks at the malls?
Odd choice, I thought.

[wideawake]

Uh-huh. Tell that to the people the JDL gassed at Lincoln Center in 1985.

These guys are bad news.

[StoneColdGOP]

Damn it, I STILL do not get Fox News. But they keep throwing MTV at me. My cable system sucks.

[Sabramerican]

Right.

[StoneColdGOP]

Huh? Details, please...

[College Repub]

I know there's a million stories breaking now, but FOX hasn't touched tihs. Wonder why...

Do you believe 'Jihad Darrell'?

Every six months, a snake crawls out of its old skin, but it is still a snake. Congressman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., – "Jihad Darrell" – should know this.

But while he tries to wriggle out of his recent pro-terrorist comments and actions abroad, he thinks he can fool us into believing he's a new creature.

Jihad Darrell made laudatory comments about Arab terrorist group, Hezbollah, while he was in Lebanon, his third trip in only a few months. It was reported by a number of Arab sources and newspapers, including the Tehran Times. He claimed that the activities of Hezbollah were "legitimate resistance," that the group does a lot of "humanitarian" things, that he has "tremendous sympathy" for its "work," and a number of other accolades usually not bestowed by U.S. congressmen on a group that killed over 261 American Marines and officials, is part of bin Laden's al-Qaida network, and helped bin Laden blow up the Khobar Towers (full of U.S. servicemen) by supplying the explosives."

gassed

A stink bomb.

[wideawake]

Tear gas. Which gave some present permanent respiratory conditions.

Nothing proven there. Denied by Israel as well.

[College Repub]

It's time for Darrel has got to go...Perhaps the ADL or AIPAC can get a grass roots recall petition going in his district.

[ambrose]

Hardly... Issa has reportedly defended the terrorist hijackers and said airport security is racist against A-rabs.
