Jackson Lee at Radical Islam Hearing: Let's ‘Have a Hearing on Right-Wing Extremists’
At a hearing of the House Committee on Homeland Security today about the radicalization of young Somali American Muslims by the al-Shabaab terrorist group, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said the committee should hold a hearing on “right-wing extremists” in the United States.
Jackson Lee used much of her allotted five minutes to question panelists with expertise on radicalization about the alleged hacking into telephones of 9-11 victims by the now-closed News of the World tabloid in England.
“I would add to that, that I would like to have a hearing on right-wing extremists, ideologues who advocate violence and advocate, in essence, the terrorizing of certain groups,” Jackson Lee said.
Before Jackson Lee was recognized by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the committee chairman, the panel of witnesses gave details about how al-Shabaab, an affiliate of al-Qaeda, is recruiting young Somali men who live in the United States to travel to that African nation to participate in terrorist training camps.

More racism from a brainwashed 'African-American'.
She wouldn't have a congressional seat......

The only reason she has one is because the southern states are still being punnished for the civil war, and their stand on the civil rights movement. There is a law that mandates Majority Minority Congressional Districts, to ensure Minority rights. How about we end them and set the districts up in blocks with no regard to race or national orgin.... mmmmmmm

Those weren't Fundamentalist Christians, Sheila!
Why do we allow Muslims in the military, now?

I'd much rather them have hearings on the racist mental patients who somehow make it to congress.
Yet another reason for hearings on right-wing extremism . .

Yet another reason for hearing on right-wing extremism . . here at home:
Let's see, we can find out about that:
Here -- Well, maybe not. Only mentions "religious beliefs - nothing about that Muslim thing. Rep. Jackson-Lee may very well read this one, and decide that he's a white right wing Evangelical Christian.
Here -- Well, once again. Whoa, wait here it is:
Well, that was catchy. Of course it doesn't say "his" Islamic standards.

Right Wing Terrorism

Bush officials were the ones that put the DHS report out that warned about the rise in right wing terrorism.
Yet you conservatives insist on equating yourselves with the violent groups in the report.
They're NOT targeting you!!!
I agree

I recommend we hold those hearings right after we finish hearings on how the government covered up a secret 1969 space mission to plant the American flag on Mars.
Fair enough?

....no facts from sheila, just the race card. How pathetic. And by the way ... have you really paid all your income taxes? And why haven't you done anything to reduce black unemployment and increase black graduation rates in your state? You are the reason for their dire straights.
The debt limit on your Race Card is maxed out...

I would add to that, that I would like to have a hearing on left-wing extremists, ideologues who advocate violence and advocate, in essence, the terrorizing of certain groups. I'm speaking of course of Jackson Lee.
Would someone please stop sending this foul mouthed racist to the Congress, please?! Is this the best you can do? Really?!
