Anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour on Wednesday ordered people associated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to physically block former Wall Street Journal journalist and Muslim Reform Movement leader Asra Nomani from entering U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-Mich) office.

Nomani, a longtime CAIR critic, posted video of the encounter.

Sarsour is overheard in Arabic telling her crew to block Nomani's entry. "Don't let her [Nomani] be one of the first ones in. Do you all hear me? Come stand here. Don't let her be one of the first ones in."

The video shows Sarsour with CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, Ahmed Bedier – former director of CAIR's Tampa chapter – and CAIR's Government Affairs Director, Robert McCaw.

The group was on Capitol Hill to lobby against a resolution condemning anti-Semitic statements from Tlaib's colleague, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar even though the resolution does not name Omar.

From its creation, CAIR was part of a Hamas-support network called the Palestine Committee. Awad was featured on a list of Palestine Committee officials whose mission, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found, was to "support Hamas from abroad."

Sarsour has espoused anti-Semitic smearsworse than Omar's and advocates for one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – meaning Israel would be eliminated. Rejecting Israel's existence is a form of anti-Jewish bigotry according to the State Department's definition of anti-Semitism.

"I am an unapologetic pro-BDS, one-state solution supporting resistance supporter here in the U.S.," Sarsour told an audience at the Islamic Society of North America's (ISNA) annual convention in September, the Investigative Project on Terrorism exclusively reported.

These are the types of characters who meet privately with Rashida Tlaib to defend Ilhan Omar.

Criticism and condemnation rained down last month on Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, after she tweeted, "It's all about the Benjamins baby" to explain why she and fellow Tlaib draw attention for their "criticisms of Israel."

Who is the source of this popular reference to cash? "AIPAC!" Omar added, referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Facing serious backlash from many in her party, Omar issued a caveated apology. Omar has since doubled down on purveying anti-Semitic tropes, by depicting support for Israel as a form of dual allegiance.

From the outset, Omar and Tlaib's Islamist backers immediately came to their defense. Wednesday's footage shows these radical supporters will not back down.

Yeah, she's not anti-semantic......She's just debating......That's what HAMAS and CAIR are really all about.....Getting along.....

I don't get it.  It's a picture of Tim Cook, looks to be from some sort of app.

 

Cook changed his name to Tim Apple after Trump called him Tim Apple during their meeting and after Trump double-down on claiming that 1) he actually said Tim Cook Apple really fast, but the Cook part was really soft and the "fake news" didn't report that he said Tim Cook Apple and 2) he also claimed that he said Tim Apple to save time which you also posted in the Donald Trump thread.

Ok. Thank you for that concise explanation.

Well you can't control folks who believe that the Nazis are coming for their guns and run out plop down lots of money "just in case."  Obama signed two gun laws while he was president.  Those expanded the rights of gun owners.

It makes this guy wonder if there's been an increase in sales of Bowie Knives.

Wait a minute...I hear and read plenty of lefties calling the Trumpster "Hitler".  I don't believe either side has strict control of applying the Nazi label to the other.

What Obama signed and what he tried to get accomplished are 2 different things.  His continued voice on his feelings of gun control had a big impact on increasing sales.  You know as well as I do that when the next Dem administration is in office, what they will attempt to do and what will be the result in terms of gun sales.  2nd amendment is a big deal in this country. To be fair, some of the increase during Obama in the later stages occurred during the campaign in which Hillary was thought to be the next POTUS.  She made it clear her intent, and people reacted.

Perhaps Dems need to learn to manage their approach to this issue.......that will most likely have an impact on consumer behavior.  Its all about the marketing and certain Dems have been incredible salespeople.

Blaming this all on "crazy people" and none of this on the Dem approach just isn't credible Fox.

Psychology Today has a slightly different take https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/slightly-blighty/201601/does-obama-effect-increase-gun-ownership-and-shooting

FTA:

This potential mechanism is referred to as the “fear of gun control” theory, and this theory itself was strongly supported by the data analysed in this study.

The author of the study, Emilio Depetris-Chauvin, points out that, despite the anti-gun-control lobby’s negative advertising; there was no clear rationale for believing that Obama's gun policies would be considerably more restrictive than those of Hillary Clinton or John McCain.

Although Obama had consistently supported gun control measures in the past, he also repeatedly claimed to advocate upholding and respecting the “Second Amendment”.

The fact that Obama did not have an especially stronger anti-gun record or campaign position relative to John McCain and Hillary Clinton – both of whom had been criticized by the NRA prior to then, begs the question, according to this study, as to why the particular likelihood of his being elected should induce such a specific surge in gun sales.

But, this study argues, possibly Black candidates in US Elections may induce particularly intense apprehensions and fears among Whites. Can prejudice partially account for the unusual surge in gun sales?

This research investigated the question by analysing racial attitude toward Blacks at the state level and information regarding the likelihood of Obama becoming president. The results suggest that Obama's election is statistically associated with a 24% increase in the demand for guns for a state with average levels of racial prejudice.

But in states with higher levels of racial prejudice there is even more demand for guns, whenever it looked more likely that Obama was going to get elected.

For instance Louisiana's racial prejudice level is measurably very significantly above Virginia's and appeared to contribute to an additional 12% increase in the demand for guns in Louisiana, when Obama was elected.

This study concludes that racial sentiments may have played a role in the unusual increase of the demand for guns during the period of analysis.

That increases in the demand for guns were larger in states with higher levels of racial prejudice, is interpreted by the author as evidence consistent, albeit inconclusive until further research is done, with racial sentiments underlying the ‘Obama Effect’.
