CAIR takes credit for Specter no-show
I know. It’s a shocker. The crapweasels at CAIR act like…crapweasels. And Arlen Specter still smells like one.
Via Philip Klein at the American Spectator:
Sen. Arlen Specter backed out of speaking at a Tuesday conference on the global effort to silence speech critical of Islam, citing a scheduling conflict, but the Council on American-Islamic Relations has taken credit for his decision.
In February Specter introduced legislation in the U.S. Senate aimed at protecting American authors who have been sued under plaintiff-friendly libel laws overseas. He was scheduled to speak about the trend, known as “libel tourism,” at a Washington conference being sponsored by the Legal Project of the Middle East Forum, the Federalist Society Center for National Security Law, and the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression.
CAIR branded it an “anti-Islam” conference and launched a petition drive last Friday protesting Specter’s appearance, and on Monday the pressure group took credit for getting him to cancel.
Tolerance of dissent is not a CAIR value.
Fortitude is not a Specter value.
They deserve each other.

They don’t CAIR for free speech!
He did when he had an R after his name. Since he decided to trade the R for a D he officially became one.
I just can’t resist this…
I don’t CAIR for Specter because Specter doesn’t CAIR for the USA.
I’m ready for your groans now.
Specter = UberDhimmi
He can quit hiding his true feelings and allegiance now. No more lip service to things like equal treatment, free speech, or any of those other inconvenient constitutional rights.
Naw, I give it a rimshot!
Hangfire,
I will just take a shot, with a lime and a little salt on the rim!
Or, how about this:
Specter is just CAIRing their water.
or,
Specter couldn’t CAIR more.
or,
They are both just CAIRRion feeders.
Pun, pun, pun for everyone!
A recurring theme with Specter: Cowardice.
I take it none of you CAIR about the PUNishment you are inflicting on the rest of us.
Was there a Q&A session after his speech? If so thats why he canceled.
An inadvertent benefit to America, care of CAIR.
Come on now, you know he had to empty the wastebaskets in all of the committee rooms that he’s assigned to.
“He who fights with monsters might take CAIR lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”

Sen McCarthy had the best description of a senator, and it fits Specter to a tee. ” He is a medical wonder, no brain ,no guts and no backbone.”
ooh, maybe they need:
MediCAIR
Sorry cpodug, just had to…
P.S. et your not greek are you?
KK,
I always loved Peter O’toole’s line from Caligula…
“Every Senator is guilty of treason, because every Senator believes himself a potential Cesar. Therefore he is guilty of treason, in hart at least if not in deed!”
CAIR is an enemy of this country, and as such should be attacked with the full weight of the Federal government.
Leatherneck,
While I agree with the sentiments of your statement, I also believe that mockery works well to!
That’s nice. Spector Kow-Tows to a group (CAIR) that likely supports terrorism.
Nice.
CAIR, Hamas, Hezbollah, ACORN, cockroaches, PMSNBC and mice can ALL take credit for Arlen Specter. Like Specter they are vermin and spreaders of disease devouring our grain. If it takes “anti-Islam” conferences, traps, poison, rat terriers and cats to be rid of this vermin be quick about it. mockery works well too!

Not that I wish to disparage the Senator in anyway, absolutely not. But that man is a irritating as summer galding. Would cornstarch help? Do we have enough to cover the whole state of PainInTheSylvania?
Fixed it for ya.
Our favorite two-way, reversible republicrat senator.
Sorry, I just don’t CAIR.
CAIR just reminded Specter which party he belonged to this week and teh rest was history.
I believe that it was Mark Steyn who remarked that nobody ever knew that CAIR even existed until after the 9/11 attacks occurred.
If this man is in bed with cair, he will have his female family members under their thumb and the rop doesn’t have much use for females. Boy, this man is so horrible, I have no words.
BTW, don’t you dare ask for our military to help your sorry hind end out when they come for you and your family.

Please, please, please! Whomever is running against this idiot please tie CAIR to him with super glue! Paste their name and his everywhere.
Yes. It must be spring mating season…
Those who can’t handle the truth,
try to silence those who speak it.
Specter didn’t see any reason to lose his head over protecting the free speech rights of Americans. He really doesn’t CAIR about anyone except himself.
As a former Pennsylvanian I am thrilled to see Spectre get so much negative press. He has always been spineless. Let’s be factual here, sArlen cancelled because he feared the loss of the Islamic and psuedo-Islamic vote in PA’s two big Dem cities. Without Philadelphia and Pittsburg Spectre will be just a memory!!
and
Dualism in action . . .aka taqiyya. Believe it or else.
cair the criminal islamist organization and specter the gutless piece of human waste, two septic tank residents.
You mean liberal Democrats?
