[StoneColdGOP]

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).

I'm tired of pussyfooting around the idea that Jewish Americans and/or Israelis simply couldn't be terrorists

Case in point; The ADL.

[Sabramerican]

You sure? She's on Jewish World Review and I have seen her on PI. She seems a Republican.

[wheezer]

By all means...let the Ashcroft raids begin!!!!

[veronica]

Case in point; The ADL.

The ADL are terrorists?

Are you kidding???
I've spoken with her on several occasions in person and she is NOTHING BUT a conservative. Why else would Worldnetdaily, townhall.com and jewishworldreview even bother with her??
You must have some other "Debbie Schlussel" in mind because the one I know and have spoken to couldn't be any further from a "left-winger"...

[veronica]

By all means...let the Ashcroft raids begin!!!!

They already have. Over 89 Muslim 'charities' in Michigan being investigated as we speak.

ONE JDL...MANY Muslim 'charities.'

I heard her interviewed by Lee Klein on KFI, and she blasted every GOP elected pol, including President Bush. She literally gushed over the likes of Tom Daschole and Charles Schumer --- the latter for his "courageous" stand against the NRA.

I only listened to the interview because I had been so impressed with her "one" column on the Levy parents wherein she (Debbie) slammed them for permitting their daughter to run around with her killer (Condit), and for "covering" for him for so long.

Is she is Republican? A RINO, perhaps, but I think she's to the Left of Hitlery.

BTW, what do you think of Irv? He's not a likeable man, but this (if true) paints him a terrorist.

BUMP

[Tunehead54]

If the JDL had bombing plans I'd bet it wasn't a mosque. All that would do is generate sympathy for "good" muslims. It'd make more sense if they planned to bomb a Jewish Temple or a church than a mosque. IMHO.

Read further. JDL is representing the tortured survivors of the Japanese death camps. Tokenism, perhaps, but true nonetheless.

One thing I know if any Israeli had had prior knowledge of 9-11 he would have reported it.

No, you don't know that. Scum of the earth comes from all countries, the US and Israel included. FWIW, though, the most realistic scenario I can think of is that they may have had knowledge that something was going to happen, though maybe they didn't know the wheres and whens.

But, on the other hand, you can't discount the possibility that they did know exactly where and when.

Why can't some people even concede the possibility of Israeli terrorists? I don't have any idea how probable it is, but it's certainly possible. There are people in every single country on this earth who would kill their own mothers if it would further their own agendas.

Schlussel blamed Bush and Ashcroft for the 9/11 attacks:

"But, under Bush's and Ashcroft's new rules against secret evidence and profiling – competing against Democrats like Bonior for the Arab Muslim vote – that information was deemed insufficient for a warrant. According to Newsweek and MSNBC, when agents finally cracked into Moussaoui's hard drive, after the attacks, they found information detailing plans for terrorist attacks. Moussaoui, trained in Afghani camps, has been linked to hijacking-leader Mohammad Atta's roommate, and is now believed to have been a would-be hijacker on Flight 93 that crashed near Pittsburgh.

Regarding Bush's and Bonior's prohibition of secret evidence, Al-Arian told the Brown Daily Herald, "When you get involved in politics, people start listening."

And thanks to them listening to Islamic Jihad's man in America, the last thing 6,000 victims listened to was the sound of crashing planes and collapsing buildings."

Onyx you are soooooo out to lunch on this it's amazing. You have someone else in mind. Debbie Schlussel has never "gushed" over Daschle. What in the world are you talking about?? I know her PERSONALLY and she is no RINO. You most definitely are mistaking her for someone else. She is one of the most conservative commentators around. Please get your facts straight before you smear a friend!

[wimpycat]

Case in point; The ADL.

While the ADL, I'm sure, serves some legitimate purposes, they're mostly a bunch of left-wing SOB's--but that doesn't make them terrorists.

[Sabramerican]

I can't believe Debbie Schlussel is a Liberal. I'm glad you say you heard it on radio. Not seeing her there is always the possibility to missed the introduction.

About Rubin: I have a very low tolerance for idiots of any race, creed, color and political persuasion. His actions are idiotic, even if I agree with many of his views. If this charge is true, he went beyond the pale.

[CaptBlack]

She did not "blame" Bush. What she was decrying was the fact that Al-Arian is a DEMONSTRABLE terrorist supporter but instead of being treated like one, he is pulling one over on the Bush administration as they have invited him to functions, hired his son, and some other stupid choices.

[Saundra Duffy]

Thanks for the bio on Issa. But my favorite thing about him is that he called Bill Clinton a "slut"! Beautiful! For victory & freedom!!!

Read post # 92.

[AppyPappy]

They are in my book. At the very least, they are a "hate group".

[onyx]

I have small childen to watch, so I must depart for 5 hours.

You are free to think what you will about Schussel and to follow her right into the drink of Democrat politics.

Her interview with Lee Klein so enraged me, I e-mailed my opinion to KFI's CEO, David Hall. I remember Debbie's words, just as though they were tatooed on my forehead.
