That's true, and every lobbying or political advocacy group has skeletons in its closet. I am not surprised at the amount of flak that CAIR is recieving. I am however annoyed by Obama's campaign making such silly mistakes. When people don't do their research it annoys me to no end.
CAIR definitely needs to go on a double-pronged offensive of getting better PR management on one hand while hitting back at critics real hard with newly uncovered dirt. In this game, if you want to play in this sandbox, you better not be afraid of making it a two-way street.

Re: Official Election 2008 thread
My area...
Huge Crowds Expected for McCain, Palin on Monday
Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign is expecting tens of thousands of people at a pair of rallies on Monday.
McCain (R) and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, will appear at 10 a.m. at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, which holds 20,000 people.
Palin will then travel to Richmond for a rally 2 p.m. The demand for tickets prompted the campaign to move the rally from the Arthur Ashe Center to the Richmond International Raceway.
"The demand for tickets to see Gov. Palin has been so overwhelming, we are changing locations so everyone who wants attend the rally has the opportunity to do so,'' said Trey Walker, a McCain spokesman said. "The energy and enthusiasm for the campaign in the Richmond area is very exciting." |

why is this ignoramus answering this low-life woman as if 'Arab' were an insult?!
EDIT: wow that entire article demonstrates nothing less than the fact that some Americans are a bunch of stupid spineless racist morons who will believe anything. I am so sorry to say that I have a strong McCain supporter in my family, astaghfirullah, actually four if you count every member of their immediate family  . May Allah guide us to the best choice, ameen.

Re: Official Election 2008 thread
Do you know that in exactly 4 weeks, we'll know who the next president of the states will be?
On a side note, I'm going to an auto show in exactly 4 weeks and I've been looking forward to this for about a year.

Nah, there's pretty much no way that Obama is going to lose. He has like a 10 point lead. He's even (barely) leading in traditionally conservative NC where he should lose by like 10 points. It looks like it's going to be a landslide. MSNBC has him with 264 electoral votes in the lean or "won" category. There's still another 100 votes that are in the swing states. It's looking pretty grim for McCain. The good news for him though, is that he won't go down as the President during the meltdown of the US economy.
Vote Nader! He's Arab and decent! |

Re: Official Election 2008 thread
This dude just cant make up his mind - he's flip-flopping all over the place:
McCain shies away from recent days' attacks
Candidate focuses on policy as supporters have harsh words for Obama
