CAIR Slams Bachmann for Muslim Brotherhood Letter: ‘Giving Us a Six Degrees of Separation Drinking Game’

Michele Bachmann CAIR

AP

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has slammed Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and others for calling for an investigation into whether the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the United States.

(Related: Bachmann Hits Back at McCain, Critics Regarding Her Letter About Muslim Brotherhood and Its U.S. Tentacles)

CAIR spokesman Corey Saylor told ABC News questioning the loyalty of “patriotic American Muslims” is “beyond the pale.”

Bachmann, along with four other GOP House members, sent letters to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Departments of State, Homeland Security, Justice and Defense demanding an investigation into whether longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s family and other American officials have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and are trying to promote the group within the government.

“America wants a serious national security conversation,” Saylor told ABC. “Michele Bachmann is giving us a six degrees of separation drinking game.”

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) strongly condemned the letter in remarks on the Senate floor Wednesday, calling the accusations “not substantiated by evidence,” and the allegations about Abedin — who is married to ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner — “sinister” and “ugly.”

    Just the fact that John McCain deplores it means it warrants more investigation. Most of us here already know this man is lying the second his mouth opens. Sorry you have an affection for terror groups CAIR. Lie all you want and we’ll keep exposing you till you stay in the dark.

      No- actually McCain lost to Obama because he chose a mental midget as a running mate to try and win over idiots like those who listen to Glenn. Oh, and because he was the next R in line after GWB- the biggest mental midget ever produced by the GOP.

      McCain is actually a reasonable person which is why you all hate him.

    CAIR is the US propaganda arm of the Muslim Hoods. They were CLEARLY exposed a few years ago by Los Angeles radio talk-show hosts John & Ken (KFI-AM 640, M-F 3 to 7PM PST). They had a rep of the Hoodies live on radio (via phonecall) to answer questions about their organization and their opinions on the Ft. Hood murders, etc.

    They first claimed condemnation of all terrorist attacks on US soil, but when asked to condemn the individuals responsible, they hemmed and hawed until they were left but to cower away from the call. Attempts to get CAIR back on the air over the next several months were futile. They are supporters of the Muslim Hoods.

      It happenend on the same day when Obama came out and said he dis-avowed Socialism, and is now wanting to fully embrace Capitalism since he was now PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. The same day when Nancy Polosi admitted to being a man… Harry Reid admitted he was the voice of “Piglet” on Winnie the Pooh, and Michelle Obama started dieting….

    Senator McCain,

    As a concerned American citizen, I am very disappointed in your response to Michele Bachmann and her fellow Congressmen regarding a request made by her to verify that adequate security concerns are being addressed. There are individuals in our government that have associations with the Muslim Brotherhood. It is your job to protect the American citizen from enemies, foreign and domestic. You sir, have made a grave error in your condemnation. I will say now, that I am very angry with your response and I am sure that I am not alone. I will vote for individuals that do their job and I will support campaigns against those that do not. I supported Scott Walker though he was not in my State. I am one citizen with a small voice and little financial resource, but I vote. I know there are many that feel as I do. I will encourage them to give attention to this matter through the Tea Party, As a Mom, Freedom Works and anyone else that will listen. I would encourage a more thoughtful and responsible response to this inquiry.

    If you are a Muslim then you can not be a true American. Your beliefs state that you are loyal only to the Koran and it is ok to lie and cheatnon Muslims to acheive what the Koran asks of you and that is to convert all people or kill them if they don’t convert. Sounds like a threat to America and all Muslims should be jailed or deported but our Muslim president and government sissies are afraid of hurting Muslims feeelings at the cost of America. Maybe we should have a Jihad our selves and clean out this nest of vipers we have let into our house, military and most of all our government.

    The condemnation of CAIR is proof that Michele Bachmann is on the right track. Do not back down. I have already written a letter to John McCain strongly comdemning his response to Michele Bachmann and I encourage other voting Americans to do the same. It is time to stand again with all the fury of an involved citizenry.

    Those gays who have outted are in danger of what is going on in America. They have been duped into outting themselves for those muslims who want to kill homosexuals. Way to go, now go suck up to someone else who is using you. Sooner or later these fringe groups who have supported “the cause” and sucked up to Muslims are going to be the first ones killed for their Islamist laws says homosexuals are to be killed. All these people thinking they are doing something for this muslim president in the WH should know he is betraying them.

    They are all probably out of the same cut of cloth if the truth is known. There are no real men, to speak of left in this country, or this situation would never have happened with Obama being in office and America being run by fringe groups. The whole thing is on the way down the sink hole, but the great thing about it is they will never reap the benefits of this mess for those who figure it all out sooner or later will turn on them.

      I agree with everything Except that there are no real men left in the U.S.

      At face value this is true… But I am sure that many others (like myself) who would like to do something have realized just how powerful the Federal Government is, and how quick they would “make you disappear” if you angered them. My Boss and I had a friend that had a part in Outing the CIA in the drug dealing scam back in the 80′s… Shortly after he blew the whistle on them, he “disappeared” for a short time before they found him dead in his home from a “self-inflicted” shotgun wound.. (This guy DID NOT kill himself.. He always loved life, and looked forward to everyday.. he was not suicidal… But he was dead with a gunshot wound that he could not have caused himself.. and it was called suicide…)

      He told us a few days before his disappeared that someone had been following him lately, and he keeps getting phone calls at home that would hang-up as soon as he answered. He came home one day to find his house trashed (nothing stolen, but EVERYTHING had been rifled through) and shortly there after, he went missing…

      And that was around 20 years ago BEFORE the information age where you can track people via dozens of means…

      If you try a revolution now.. You will disappear before you get anything started… Our government is SCARY, and they will do ANYTHING to keep their people in check… Don’t believe me, try it yourself.. FYI: Write a will first, and tell your family

    It is unclear why McCain is treasonously siding with terrorists, against America, but what is clear, is that Bachmann is 100% correct.

    I’m going to pull out one of the Progressives/liberals quotes…..”If CAIR and the Brotherhood have nothing to hide then they shouldn’t be offended by the investigation”, afterall, isn’t that what they say when the government investigates conservative…”if they don‘t have nothing to hide then they shouldn’t worry about it”.

    I just hope Bachmann and the others don’t back down and more join them in their call of an investigation because we all know there is infiltration going on. If you don’t see it then you are either blind as h@ll or you want the infiltration.
