Democrat Calls Republicans``Jihadists``, Muslims Offended
WASHINGTON (AP) - During remarks about how Republicans may cause a government shutdown by sustaining President Bush's vetoes of Democrat-sponsored spending bills, John W. Olver, (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Transportation-HUD Appropriations Subcommittee, referred to Republicans as "Jihadists". Muslim groups responded with outrage at the comparison.
"Jihadists are noble warriors in a just cause, "said CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, "while Republicans are nothing but money-grubbing, Jew-loving kafirs! Well, maybe not Jew-loving, since no on ACTUALLY loves the Jews, but they're unquestionably Jew-likers, and that's bad enough." "When Allah's faithful seek to fund a war," Hooper continued, "they don't snivel over 'spending bills'. They just hit up their oil-rich neighbors for some greenbacks. If the Republicans were true Jihadists, they'd be getting money from Saudi Arabia or Halliburton." Republicans were also quick to take umbrage at the name-calling. "I can't believe," said Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner, "that jackass Olver had the gall to compare us to murderous thugs who kill people with explosive vests. We're Republicans, for crying out loud! We'd use guns." Responding to the controversy, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a rare public apology of behalf of the Democratic Party. "I regret that Congressman Olver's remarks may have been misinterpreted. The Democratic Party has nothing but admiration and respect for ALL races, creeds, and explosive preferences. We mean no insult to the loving and peaceful religion of Islam or its courageous and holy soldiers." "After all," she continued, "we're both on the same side in this war. We're both committed to the goal of removing American troops from Iraq as soon as possible. No sense in bickering over a little thing like whether 'dead' or 'alive' would be preferable." "Now that I've offered this humble apology on behalf of the Democratic Party," concluded Pelosi, "I hope the brave and honorable Muslim warriors of the world will seriously consider killing us last." 8 Responses To "Democrat Calls Republicans``Jihadists``, Muslims Offended"
Yes, when someone won't do whatever you want, they're the same as a jihadist. Makes it even more frustrating that we haven't won the war in Iraq yet. (Ya gotta laugh if you don't wanna cry.) #2 - Posted by: eric90230 on July 27, 2007 05:55 PMYes, when someone won't do whatever you want, they're the same as a jihadist.

History teaches that, though not unwinnable, two front wars against an enemy and an entrenched 5th column are rarely easy. If they want to actually see Jihad... man, that's just kicking a bull in the nads wishing for that. We have all the guns, after all. #4 - Posted by: DesertElephant on July 27, 2007 07:51 PM"I can't believe," said Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner, "that jackass Olver had the gall to compare us to murderous thugs who kill people with explosive vests. We're Republicans, for crying out loud! We'd use guns." I was thinking 'bunker busters', but still had to laugh at the 'We'd use guns' part. LMAO! #5 - Posted by: ChrisA on July 27, 2007 07:58 PMNihilists? Jihadists? ...what, was he just throwing out negative labels to see what stuck? Honestly, those two couldn't be farther away from each other on the philosophical spectrum!
I can't believe you didn't use an Islamic rage boy image for this.... #8 - Posted by: Chris on July 29, 2007 11:38 AMPost a comment
