Huma Abedin

Samantha 2012/07/19 17:53:57
In response to Michele Bachmann's anti-Muslim bigotry and her vicious attack against Huma Abedin, I think it's important to highlight a very successful Muslim woman. We should be proud she serves in our government.

Ms. Abedin has worked Ms. Clinton since 1996, first as an intern and, now, as our Secretary of State's deputy chief of staff and aide. She was born in Michigan but, at an early age, moved to Saudi Arabia with her family. Her father is of Indian descent and earned a Ph.D.; he died in 1993. Her mother is Pakistani and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. She is currently a professor in Saudi Arabia.

Ms. Abedin is, of course, a practicing Muslim and speaks English, Urdu and Arabic. She's a graduate of George Washington University.

    In the words of John McCain:

    "Put simply, Huma represents what is best about America: the daughter of immigrants, who has risen to the highest levels of our government on the basis of her substantial personal merit and her abiding commitment to the American ideals that she embodies so fully.

    Ultimately, what is at stake in this matter is larger even than the reputation of one person. This is about who we are as a nation, and who we aspire to be. What makes America exceptional among the countries of the world is that we are bound together as citizens not by blood or class, not by sect or ethnicity, but by a set of enduring, universal, and equal rights that are the foundation of our constitution, our laws, our citizenry, and our identity. When anyone, not least a member of Congress, launches specious and degrading attacks against fellow Americans on the basis of nothing more than fear of who they are and ignorance of what they stand for, it defames the spirit of our nation, and we all grow poorer because of it."

    Personally, I think McCain nailed it.

    She is a devout Muslim married to a devout Jew (disgraced sex pervert ex congressman Anthony Weiner) Abedin has been with Hillary Clinton since Clinton was First Lady She is privy to all manner of top secret info even though her brothers are movers and shakers in the Brotherhood and her MaMa is a big wheel in the Muslim Sisterhood It's odd that adedin married weiner, a Jew, because such unions are SPECIFICALLY prohibited in the Qur'an unless, pursuant to Tiquyya (lying to foster the spread of Islam) the marriage is sanctioned In fact, a NYC Imam sanctioned the marriage and then ordered humedin to stand by her disgraced, sexually sick hubby weiner. Meanwhile, our great president has remained silent and done nothing to stop humdin's infiltration into the most inner circles of US policy making As if all that were not weird enough, Bill Clinton "officiated" at the wedding of weinie and abedini . Seriously folks, you can't make this stuff up. And did you hear one word on the news MSM that is? Nope, not a peep. That's one of the reasons I get so angry and exasperated a lefty's, they are helping evil people (especially Obama) destroy America Making us into a third world cretin and they are oblivious and when you try to explain it rationally they attack you instead of listening to facts This is the end result the final stop for the ME generation

    Your post is the type of conservative hysteria I expected and, of course, it's filled with lies about Ms. Abedin. Obama isn't evil; what's evil are your bigotry and lies.

    And Michelle Bachmann is perfectly within her rights to not only have but to state her opinion, however ridiculous or inflammatory you personally may find it.

    After all, I find your opinions ludicrous and inflammatory, but you don't see me making poll after poll about it do you?

    Michele Bachmann relied on lies and anti-Muslim bigotry. There's not a shred of evidence to support her comments.

    Bachmann's efforts are designed to drive Ms. Abedin out of public service; that's disgusting. Bachmann has no moral values or shame.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/19 18:26:11

    And what are YOU trying to do?
  • Samantha Outta' ... 2012/07/19 18:28:20
    Samantha
    In a small way, I'm defending Ms. Abedin; you see, unlike Bachmann, I understand American values.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/19 18:29:32
    Outta' Here.
    Funny, from where I sit I don't see you defending anyone. Merely trying to "get Michelle Bachmann out of public service".

    I posted facts about Ms. Abedin to counter the lies told by Michele Bachmann. If the people of her district are conservatively dumb enough to elect Bachmann then they have to live with her bigotry and, in fact, those voters will be part of the bigotry problem in this country.

    Ms. Abedin has, by all accounts, served honorably.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/19 18:34:40

    Who are you trying to convince, Samantha?
    I don't give a damn one way or the other.
    I merely said Bachmann is entitled to her opinion.
    You seem to be disputing that fact.
  • Samantha Outta' ... 2012/07/19 18:40:49 (edited)

    She sent letters and in them she made baseless accusations against Ms. Abedin. Therefore, Senator McCain went to the Senate floor and defended Ms. Abedin. Bachmann is engaging in a new form of McCarthyism.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/19 18:42:28

    Bitching about someone, and having Congressional hearings to "find commies" is quite a far piece from each other.

    Exactly how much power do you think Bachmann actually has?
  • Samantha Outta' ... 2012/07/19 18:45:52
    Samantha
    One of her fellow anti-Muslim bigots has already held hearings. I think you're deliberately missing the point that this type of religious bigotry is morally wrong.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/19 18:47:50

    No, THIS kind of religious bigotry is wrong -

    Huma Abedin had nothing to do with 9/11 and, of course, your post proves you completely missed the reason for the 9/11 attacks. Perhaps, you would be well served if you read Chalmers Johnson's book, Blowback, and then you might have a better understanding.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/19 19:16:46

    No, thank you. I don't read (or write) propaganda.

    I never claimed Ms. Abedn had anything to do with anything.
    Please pay attention to the comments you make prior to my responses as they are directly related.

    It's not propaganda. It's a factual account of how U.S. policies/militarism have created a lot of enemies.

    Samantha, you and I both know, people don't need a reason to hate anyone else. They just do.
  • Samantha Outta' ... 2012/07/19 19:23:02
    Samantha
    There's no reason to hate anyone and, in the case of Bachmann, she's engaging in a new form of McCarthyism.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/19 19:24:46
    Outta' Here.
    So tell her. What the hell do you expect (or hope) that I will do about it?
    I obviously don't care about Bachmann's opinions.
  • Samantha Outta' ... 2012/07/20 13:45:20
    Samantha
    You have a moral responsibility to condemn Bachmann's words and actions.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/20 14:16:35
    Outta' Here.
    No, in your OPINION; I have a moral responsibility.
    You assume that I share your morals.
  • Samantha Outta' ... 2012/07/20 14:19:27
    Samantha
    Have it your way; all you've done is spin your lack of action in condemning Bachmann. Speaking out against religious bigotry is a moral responsibility. I'm sorry you lack those moral values.
  • Outta' ... Samantha 2012/07/20 14:20:26
    Outta' Here.
    I'm sorry you lack the comprehension to shut up when no one is listening to you scream.
