    I'm pissed that she even voiced any kind of apology.

    Is it really an apology if you are forced to do it? It means absolutely nothing.

    The Jewish Babylonian Talmud says that Jews can lie to the Gentiles whenever they want to, about anything.

    Maimonides, Commentary to the Mishnah, Keilim 12:7

    And similiarly, lies, tricks, subterfuges, cheatings, and circumventions of gentiles are forbidden. They said [as quoted above] 'It is forbidden to deceive anyone, even an idolatrous gentile' and even more so when it can lead to the desecration of God's name. For that is a great sin and imbues in a person bad traits. And all these wicked actions G-d explained that He will be disgusted with them and with those who perform them, as it says: (Deuteronomy 18:12) "For anyone who does these is an abomination of God."

    That is just sound business practice. Nothing personal.

    I will give you a hint.

    It's clearly spelled out how to remove someone from congress in the Constitution of the United States.

    You should try reading it once.

    I think she needs to wear her bigotry like a badge so the public can see her true colors. It seems that the Democrats have a problem containing some of their resident bigot Muslims.

    Democrats demanded she apologize, and she did.

    Now where is Trump's apology for disparaging Native Americans and Mexicans?

    She isn't the only bigot on the Democrat plantation. It's seems like they are trying to herd cats trying to clean up the bigotry expressed by Muslim hate mongers. Farrakhan has a wad of followers in the Democratic party. Her apology was a poor excuse for an apology. She didn't say what action she was apologetic about. She didn't say why what she said was wrong. She as well as said the NRA and AIPAC made her a bigot.

    How did Trump disparage Native Americans? If you are talking about the Pocahontas issue, it was Warren that disparaged the tribes, not Trump. Trump merely pointed it out, just as the tribes have been doing for years when it refers to Warren's phony claims to being a Native American.

    What supports bigotry? Kind of a cryptic answer. Expound a little. Let's discuss it. I am a Native American. I find it totally appropriate to mock Warren in the way that he has been mocking the phony Cherokee princess.

    In the history of Congress a member has never been impeached. So you suggest that bringing up AIPAC is now a basis for impeachment? Seriously you sound like a lib whining about racism. Given the Billions of welfare given to Israel what is wrong with a little discussion of the subject?

    We have too many somali’s here already who serve no useful purpose in outpr society

    Immigration should be limited to persons with valueable skills and their wife and children only

    I didn't realize that 'refugees' only qualified if they had valuable skills.

    I didn't attack you but you deign to tell me what to do as a criticism of what you know nothing about.

    You tell me to "Google better then" and proceed to show you are no better at it. You failed to produce what was requested. LOL!!!!!!

    It seems you also need to "Google better then". Or maybe it's a problem with reading comprehension.

    Well, unlike the guy with his log in a dog, at least you have a clue. But the only quote about Israel that I found in your link was "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."

    If that is what Congress is all in a twist about, I find two problems with objections to that. First of all it is an objection to Israeli deeds, -not to Jews. So it's not anti-Semitic. But to pretend it is anti-Semitic is essentially an attempt to intimidate and scare people into refraining from ANY criticism of Israel for fear of being called an "anti-Semite". And that is a trick of a tyrannical despot. So in this case the bad behavior rests with the accusers rather than with Omar. And this tyrannical act seems to have worked with Omar since she backed down.

    Are we now supposed to only say good things about Zionism and Zionists for fear of being called an anti-Semite"? I find this troubling!
