The top Republican in the Congress on Thursday criticized Representative Michele Bachmann and four other fellow House Republicans for making "pretty dangerous" accusations when they questioned the security clearance of a Muslim aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The comments of House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner came after Senator John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, blasted the five lawmakers for seeking an investigation into whether Huma Abedin, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, had connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist political organization.
Boehner, speaking at a regular news briefing, said "accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous." He said he did not know Abedin, but "from everything I know of her, she has a sterling character."
McCain took to the Senate floor on Wednesday to accuse the lawmakers of making a "sinister" attack on Abedin. Following the custom in Congress, he did not name them but left no doubt he was talking about Bachmann, as well as Representatives Louie Gohmert, Trent Franks, Thomas Rooney and Lynn Westmoreland.
Oh well, can't say I agree with them attacking this person without probable cause, but well, I will still vote for Louie Gohmert come november because there is absolutely no way I will vote for a socialist entitlement monger who will stay with party lines and not help fix America and get rid of Comrade Obama. He may not be perfect and it may be time for him to go, but not this cycle, no way. I might would go for the Libertarian that is also running, but can't find a whole lot about his stance or even who he really is, not to mention that as far as I can tell, his name is in but he is not really doing any campaigning, so he really stands no chance and I simply cannot risk sending an Obama loving Liberal to Congress at this time.

This is why congress is full of terrible people.
I would normally agree. However, this election is not about that, it is about Obama. Due to Obama's unconstitutional actions and Congress not being able (Reps) or willing (Dems) to hold him accountable for those actions, other factors no longer matter. (lets face it, short of him committing murder in public or declaring himself a dictator, you will not get a Democrat in either house to vote for impeachment ( and 99 out of 100 wouldn't do it even then), no matter how unconstitutional he becomes) Because this election is a vote on whether the Constitution is Dead and gone or whether it should still remain in effect, I have to go with anyone, and I mean almost anyone who will work to impeach the unconstitutional bastard if he wins the general election. Saving the Constitution is the only issue I give a damn about this election, everything else can be worked on later if we actually manage to save it. And I have absolutely no faith that any liberals or others on the left are going to give a damn about constitutionality of his actions, all they care about is whether they get what the want, no matter the method.
Top Republicans denounce attack on Clinton aide - Yahoo! News
While I'm glad that mainstream Republicans are denouncing this ridiculous attack on American Muslims, I have to wonder why rabid right wing partisans have such an axe to grind with Muslims. They constantly point out that Obama's father is a Muslim. They try to stop Muslims from building mosques in New York. They even attack Muslims serving in our own congress. Xenophobic attitudes like this need to be exposed as being wrong.

Which unconstitutional actions do you perceive him as taking? Be sure to specify which article of the constitution has been violated.
Here's the issue as I've heard it. Has nothing to do with Huma's religion, it has everything to do with involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood's female wing, the Muslim Sisterhood, both wings of that movement have been condemned by multiple federal agencies. Now, if it were about anti-(insert religion) sentiment I'd be 100% on board for condemnation. I will say I haven't read much on the issue and going off of what I've initially seen due to the nature of larger problems facing our country at this time.

Every time I hear this kind of vicious bigotry spewed from people who are supposed to represent the American people, my skin crawls and I cringe inside. This kind of crap should be censure material. Our congresscritters should not be free to slander at will in the first place, but to do so based upon religion in a land that was built upon the tenant of freedom of religion for all is absolutely outrageous.
From what I understand there is a paper trail, but I don't know how solid the case against her actually is.Is their suspicion based on anything more than the fact that she's a muslim (is she even practicing in any meaningful way?)? If not, it's rather like assuming that all white Christians belong to the klan
How much Liberal ignorance can you possibly have in one thread, apparently alot.
So then if someone questions someones background which includes family members that belong to the Muslim Brotherhood & Sisterhood they are a biggot?
Do you realize that Hamas is an offshoot of the brotherhood? Do you realize Ayman Zawahari (the current head of Al Qaida and 9-11 mastermind) was a member of the brotherhood in Egypt and was part of the Anwar Sadat assasination?
With Huma's mother being an advocate of Sharia law its not out of the realm of possibility that she has the same beliefs.
In alot of ways Sharia law is worse than Naziism but it appears that many Liberals are just fine with this type of person being influencial in our goverment. Maybe they are fine with Sharia as well.
Personally I'm glad we have people with the guts to speak out against the current regime and applaud them for doing so.
God knows how many more Americans will die because of Liberal policies like the one where the FBI was afraid to investigate Major Hassan because of political correctness & the fear of being labeled a biggot even though there was plenty of evidence that he was a radical. Alot of good Americans died because of these damn fools in the Obama administration and to be fair useful repewbican idiots like John Mcain as well.
There blood is on your hands IMO.
That's racial profiling.
Ok...
Translation: "I don't like her beliefs, therefore they are wrong!"
Godwinning already? On page 2? Wow. Anyway, how is SL worse than Naziism?
Ok - there's blood on my hands. Now what?
It's no more racial profiling than zinging a white person for having connections to a white supremacist group
Are you comparing white supremacists to Muslims?
