Are you saying that you believe she’s not responsible for her actions because she has the mind of a child? Do you feel that way because she’s black, because she’s a woman, or both?

It would seem that you still don’t fully think through the implications of what you say.

I would rep you again, Glenfield, but C-D tells me to spread it around.

No, he is saying that as a resident of the SF Bay area, he is also lacking in intellectual capacity, just like Ilhan.

Again, I love how left coast liberals absolutely adore Islam. When Islam gets a small foothold in the USA, then Muslim goals will be more fully realized.

And I challenge any liberal, even the left coasters, to name a single Muslim majority country that holds to liberal ideals.

The issue is that the Muslims do not appear to be integrating too well into USA culture.

Somali police officer shoots ACROSS his partner's lap at woman dressed in pajamas simply because she rapped on the side of the squad car to get their attention. She was the one who called them to come check out a disturbance. He has rightly been charged with murder.

Now we get one of the two Muslims in Congress making stupid statements nearly daily. Roseanne Barr was fired from her sitcom for a comment on the level with Omar's. Ilhan Omar should resign since it is clear she doesn't "get it".

When I see a large group of Somali Americans converting away from Islam, to any other religion, then I will believe that they "get it".

The only one I saw who outright supported her today was David Duke, not exactly a great endorsement. She is a disgrace.

What's really a disgrace is that the Democratic Party didn't pull their support from her in the election campaign, as Ronald Reagan did from David Dukes when he ran for Louisiana Governor or Senator, I forget which.

Wow, straw man and casual fallacies, then follow up with an ad hominem trying to be clever, based on your casual straw man.

I said *I*, not she. If you can't tell the difference between us, peanut, you need to stop swimming in the deep end of the pool, or at least put your water wings on. At least you're somewhat clumsy in your dishonesty(had you been more able, you could have at least noted the anecdotal nature of my statement). Of course, seeing who buys into your Fox News level screed will help me identify some of the real gems here.

Keep shoveling your slander for your bigoted board buddies, though. I would hate to have my assessment of your character come up wrong.

Nice try but you wouldn’t have told that story if you didn’t think it related to Omar’s issues. As to being bigoted, you’re the one taking time to defend the anti-Semite. Or maybe you don’t think that’s bigotry because, you know, they’re Jews.

Did you know that most of the letters of his name are an anagram for "aryan bro"?

Makes sense now.

Wow, you're not even a *good* liar. You're just a liar. I would ask if it stresses you to make that **** up, but it's obvious to me at this point that you'll squat and produce just about anything to salve your ego and reinforce your own position, however stupid, untenable, and evidence-free it is.

Again, the irony of people like you feigning any empathy whatsoever with my people is laughable. I might suggest you stop using my people as a means of attack -- it's offensive as well as dishonest.

I always find it amusing that Republican/conservative posters get outraged at left-leaning incidents of alleged anti-semitism, innocent or genuine. I suspect it's more being angry that other people are intruding on one of their favorite sports than anything else.

I especially enjoy the overt hypocrisy with which the conservative religious posters decry legislators of non-christian nature, as if their own filthy party hasn't been LITERALLY forcing their own religion into law for decades.

I gotta side with Glenfield; there’s no straw-man, casual fallacies, or lies in his comments. You stated you were guilty of THE SAME. You obviously are comparing your SAME racism with Omar’s racism.

Can’t give you any rep, so I’ll give you a
