    spare us the feigned outrage.

    this is all political and you know it.

    you guys are just desperately searching her statements to find something, anything, to keep the attention on her.

    next fake insult: "Congresswoman Omar rejects pork sandwhich, chooses chicken instead!!!"


    this fake outrage is sooo transparent. And pathetic.

    It's your choice not to be offended. But it's a choice that I find incredibly hard to fathom. Terrorist jihadists killed American citizens. It wasn't "some people did something.". It has turned out that the far-right was right. This diverse Congress can never represent our views. Precisely because they are minorities. They'd have to betray their own to serve the majority.

    I think we should invoke Omar's words whenever anyone brings up the tragedy of Heather Heyer or the recent New Zealand episode. Some people did something. If we accept this speech, it's fitting for every such act.

    I'm not surprised.

    However, a lot of New Yorkers are offended or disgusted by Omar's negation of the jihadist atrocity committed on 9/11. So are many of us here in Virginia where the jihadists who attacked the Pentagon in Arlington sent 184 of our family members, friends, neighbors and fellow Americans to their graves.

    Nothing to see here. Some people did something. It doesn't matter who they were and what they did - move along...

    So it was the Pentagon. I was only 9 years old(living in Pennsylvania) at the time of the attack, so I didn't want to gawk off and be wrong(and yes, I could've used google or something but better to be safe than sorry.) But yeah, even if you weren't in NYC or Washington DC, that day will forever live in infamy. We didn't know if there'd be another attack, or what. It kind of brought back the Cold war days for those who lived through that.

    A comment I would expect from the faux-humanitarians on the Left who are rushing to the defense of the jihadist apologist trash in the Democratic party.

    Yup, that's the Pentagon.

    I grew up in Northern Virginia and I still have family and friends who live in the area. My father is also buried at Arlington National Cemetery, which is located immediately adjacent to the Pentagon. Had I been visiting his grave on 9/11 the flight path of American Airlines Flight 77 would have taken the plane within a few hundred yards of where I would have been standing.

    It certainly is a day that will live in infamy. That was our generation's Pearl Harbor and I can remember it like it was yesterday.

    Her comments are part of a wider pattern, Ron. Some of her harshest critics are Muslims who don't share her Islamist sympathies.

    That's ridiculous. I made no mention of white people. And I never said all of them.
    It's odd that "white people" can be so sensitive and play the victim.

    The irony of this is hilarious.

    Anyone remember when Trump bragged on 9/11 that he now owned the tallest building in Manhantan? He was happy we were attacked.

    **** Trump.

    Trump loved 9/11, it made him the owner of the tallest building in NY!

    "I mean, 40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually before the World Trade Center the tallest, and then when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second-tallest, and now it's the tallest," he said

    Is that your proposal? Would you vote for her over a Republican?

    Nice try, but we all know your code words. And now it's your believe that 'white people' shouldn't be sensitive or be victims. You're on a roll.

    The same people who are outraged by Omar are the same people giving Trump a pass for taking a **** on a dead war hero POW. It's hard to take their outrage very seriously.

    I thought of your post when I saw this story:

    NY Dems block bill expanding college tuition for Gold Star families after approving $27M in tuition aid for illegal immigrants

    New York Assembly Democrats on Tuesday blocked a bill that proposed expanding college tuition aid for children of deceased and disabled military veterans after-- having a week earlier-- approved a state budget that set aside $27 million in college tuition aid for illegal immigrants.

    Ever wonder why Muslim countries never welcome refugees from other Muslim countries? Why do the people fleeing the war torn regions of the middle east make the treacherous journey all the way to Europe, when they could easily emigrate to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and other filthy rich Arab countries. (There are close to 100,000 Syrians in Jordan, but they’re not *in* Jordan, they’re living in tents in a refugee camp.)

    I wonder what the pos would say, but of course we’ll never know, because the media will never ask it. The answer is called cahoots, but the Arabs call it Hijra. These slime balls are all in cahoots with each other to help muslims emigrate to non-muslim countries. And if you won’t take them in, they’ll park their stinky asses on your doorstep until you do (think of all the sympathy camps on Israel’s perimeter, they’ve been there for over 50 years!) But no Arab’s will take them in, and nobody asks why……. cause they’re all in cahoots!.

    Hijra is actually part of their world domination game plan, it destroys a country from within, it’s even spelled out in the Koran. Leave your home country or region to settle permanently in non-muslim lands, breed like hell, cause all kinds of hell, and of course, never ever, ever, ever, assimilate. Make the host assimilate to you. With a little money in the politicians pockets and plenty of patience, you can start changing their laws. How they govern. How they live. And one day they wake up to the fact that you own them, but it’s too late, because you *own* them.

    The treacherous United Nations aid and abet this Hijra with their refugee resettlement programs. How much under the table oil $$$ have they received over the years? The Islamization of Europe is well on its way, how far behind can America be? WAKE UP!!!!!

    My dad worked in DC at the time. Saw the smoke from the pentagon attack.

    Some of us have never forgotten.

    Trump is going nuclear on Omar, he just tweeted this out...

    There is a Conservative commentator called Bill Whittle.

    His dad is also buried at Arlington.

    Soon after the attack, he visited his fathers grave and being a pilot, noticed small pieces of aluminum across the cemetery.

    It was wreckage from Flight 77.

    As a kid I watched from NJ the World Trade center being built. On 911 the wife of a friend of mine died and my friends in NJ and NYC had to live through the horror. My family told me there were tanks protecting the George Washington Bridge, and my ex wife who is from Puerto Rico and not familiar with American politics said she saw Muslims dancing on roof tops in Jersey City after the towers were hit but before they collapsed.

    Liberals didn't give a crap about Muslims until after they killed 3000 Americans, then they became BFFs.

    Isn't it funny how the left can bring up slavery which ended 150 years ago which no person alive participated in but yet every living white American is guilty of, all while completely overlooking and defending people who are alive today and who continue to slaughter people worldwide all while chanting death to America.

    Libs, why do you love Muslims so much when they despise the very principles and values you hold so dear?

    It was a surreal time. American liberals don't have context with the islamic world. Its a very different place.
