CAIR Teams Up With Hezbollah To Attack Romney For Hiring Walid Phares To Advise Him On National Security…
Mitt must be doing something right if both CAIR and Hezbollah are attacking him.
(FSM) — Al Manar — the official broadcasting arm of the terrorist group Hezbollah — is again attempting to discredit (and thus silence) respected American national security experts. And as a means of doing so, they are touting a now-public letter by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) which refers to respected foreign policy analyst Dr. Walid Phares as “an associate to war crimes” and a “conspiracy theorist.”
The issue stems from the fact that the Mitt Romney presidential campaign has named Phares to its team of national security advisors.
CAIR, which authored the letter and sent it to Romney, doesn’t approve of the appointment. Neither does Hezbollah.
In a posting on Hezbollah’s official TV broadcast arm al Manar, the terrorist organization (implicated by a UN Tribunal in the 2005 assassination of Rafiq Hariri of Lebanon) attacked Professor Walid Phares. They cited an article which was based on a CAIR letter leveling vicious attacks on the Jihadism expert and author of The Coming Revolution: Struggle for Freedom in the Middle East. The Hezbollah propaganda arm warned that, by appointing Phares as one of his advisors on Middle Eastern affairs, Republican hopeful Mitt Romney is echoing the appointment by the State Department of Heinz Mahoney as deputy ambassador for the US in Damascus.
Observers noted that this wasn’t the first time CAIR and Hezbollah media campaigns converged to the point of merging. Last Spring, CAIR, accused by many to be a front for the terror group Hamas, also sent a letter to Rep. Pete King demanding the removal of Professor Phares from the list of expert witnesses in the hearings on Jihadi radicalization. That letter was also picked up and publicized by the Iranian-backed daily al Akhbar in Lebanon. Writing in as Siyassa of Kuwait, Hamid Ghuriafi said “the campaign of incitement waged by Nihad Awad, director of CAIR, against Professor Walid Phares, a Congressional advisor, is full of lies and misrepresentations. It was executed at the request of the Iranian regime after Phares appeared in an American movie (“Iranium”) released two weeks ago. In that film, Phares called on the Obama Administration and the international community to expedite a regime change in Tehran by supporting the democratic Green revolution in Tehran, which could lead to the crumbling of the Khamenei-Ahmedinejad regime.”

I hope they get him.
Well, let’s see if Mitt tells the terrorists to shove it, or if he dhimmis up.
Of course, if they’re going after him that means it must be good….dammit.
Phares is one of the best in my opinion….he tells it like it is, he minces no words.
No wonder CAIR is whining.
Too bad Cain didn’t get him first ~
Good for Mitt though…I’ve got to give him credit for this one.
That’s the first good thing I’ve heard about Romney since before 2008.
Well this should show if Romney has any ‘stones’.
If Walid ends up under the bus….Romney will be worse than Obama.
It’s one thing to know you’re evil..it’s quite another to be afraid of it!
Hmmm… this insult might require mitt pay a wife from his haram to the cair guy’s haram.
I like the commentary by Mr. Phares, he always makes sense and speaks very bluntly about radical Islam and calls them out all the time.
As for Hezbollah, this is who CAIR wants to openly ally themselves with? pretty funny that they don’t understand how much people are skeptical of them.
Why the hell are they attacking him? HE’S NOT OUR CANDIDATE YET! NOT ON MY WATCH!
Whos is calling who the worst?
Anything they can do to get him in front, so the other muslim can beat him
This guy is a real sack of Mitt!
Romney hired Phares knowing CAIR would object.. thus bolstering his nonexistent anti-terrorist creds.. people are being played.. he will fire Phares just as soon as the gullible Republicans nominate him.. the idea is to get Romney against Hussein and for Romney to lose like McCain did.. I’ll stick with Perry.
Romney won’t lose because people know that there will be no do overs after this election. The Left changed the demographics. The people who did not vote or voted for Paul last time took the 8% away that would have beaten Obama DESPITE HIS CHEATING. Please see EvangelicalsForMitt.com He is a solid candidate and has Pawlenty, Sheriff Babeu, Christie, Issa (Holder subpoena Fast & Furious muscle) and many more on his side. He has earned the spot of the nominee. Romney hired Phares who is a Christian Lebanese because he is serious about changing the status quo. No more games. TheObamaFile.com has the info they hid on Obama. He knows only Marxist and is a plant.
Perry met with the Bilderberg group in 2007. He is soft on illegal immigration. It went up by 60% in his state and not other border states. He was a Gore fundraiser and was flipped to R by Rove. He has hiked taxes and given the green light for sanctuary cities and in state tuition and illegals getting scholarships. We can not take care of other countries citizens. Over 50% are on Welfare and over 25% of the inmates are foreign illegal aliens. At 40K per year, we can’t absorb them. Perry also mandated a shot from his donor and gave most of the jobs to illegals.
Cain pastors Jesse Jackson loving liberal church. He has an Enron like scandal Aguilla and lied on his resume about the mess. He also was a democrat like Perry. Cain has made numerous blunders and is not ready for prime time. He also has not run a state only a company. He did not know what the right of return was. He said he would release the Gitmo prisoners for 1 soldier when US policy is not to barter with terrorists. He was a Fed Chair in Kansas City and had health issues. Newt has scandal too….staffer.
Paul stabbed Reagan in the back and won’t be forgiven. He also voted for Ralph Nader, praised Code Pink and the Communist backed protesters. He wants to try Bush for war crimes (not his fault that troops broke the law-water boarding is a tactic not torture) and forgets that Bush had Congressional and UN approval to go to war unlike Obama. Paul is unelectable due his supporters very vile anti-Jew rhetoric and Nazi supporters.
Romney is the whole package as per Rush in 2008. He had Heritage Foundation and Newt okay the plan. It is nothing like Obama Care which is Hillary Care and written by Apollo Foundation (Soros). The left tried to put stink on Romney. The left and establishment wanted Perry. They had him up in the polls before he got in and after 3 bad debates. Visit evangelicalsForMitt.com for the real info on Mitt and AmericaNeedsMitt.com
Let’s hope their propaganda departments don’t kiss and make up and have a muslim morman love-child named Joseph Dinnerjacket Komanie…
Romney is moderate on some issues but a fiscal conservative. He balanced Mass. budget, saved the from bankruptcy, wiped out their massive debt and left 2 billion surplus. The plan that was finally agreed upon was not his plan. It passed 3 to 1 and took care of the 7.8% uninsured that were on the tax payers’ backs. Even in 2010, it still had 67% approval. Only 1.8% are not insured. He vetoed the parts of the bill to cover illegals but the 85% liberal legislature over ruled him and made the changes they wanted or they would not pass it. Americaneedsmitt.com/blog/obamacare-romneycare-truth/ The country is center slightly right now (see numbersusa.org) and if we do not unite and beat the inept and anti-America forces in charge together, King Obama ill reign. Reagan passed Amnesty and abortion legislation. Reagan was a JFK democrat. It is UNTRUE and unkind to label Romney a flip flopper. He said he would not change abortion law that was passed by the voters and the law of the land. He is against abortion and thinks the states should decide NOT the Federal Government.
Romney got his degrees in law and business degrees at the same time from Harvard. Unlike Obama, he has released EVERYTHING including his emails. He served at no fee (the state was broke) and at no fee as Olympic Chair in 2002. It was corrupt and he was asked to come in and put it to rights. Unlike everybody else running, he has the EXACT qualifications and skills needed for the complex job ahead. He got Staples and Sports Authority going and made his money in investing and starting businesses like Bright Horizons Child Care Centers and others. He is diplomatic, brilliant, decent, honorable, accomplished, well liked, even tempered, a problem solver (he reworked Mass budget to get rid of debt and left 2 billion) and knows what is going on in DC. He is friends with Congressman Issa, the only man brave enough to go up against the corruption and Chicago style machinations going on. Romney is running because he has grandchildren, cares about America and wants to restore America. Lastly, we can not splinter and try to galvanize as a party 2 months before the election. It is a long shot as it is due to the billions Obama is getting from his foreign friends and ACORN reforming.
The candidate with the most volunteers, support, money and most qualified can beat Obama. We are lucky to have Governor Romney on our side. Let’s work together to take our country back. We all have a part in this battle for America. Don’t buy the lies about Romney. He is not a globalist or establishment pick. Perry was the establishment pick ad liked by dems and Repubs. Romney is his own man and a good one. He has worked hard to be the nominee by raising money for other candidates, campaigning and meeting the people. He is the only one with a plan to replace Obama Care when repealed and the only one that has saved a state from bankruptcy. He did not spend his life as a politician. He was in the private sector and unlike others, has been an employer, CEO, Governor and Chair of the Olympics.
Hate to admit it, but hiring Walid is a good move on Mitts part. Walid has forgotten more about jihadis than most of us will ever know. So, while I’m no big fan of Mitts, this is an encouraging step from him……dammit!!
Wow. This is a fine step that Romney has taken. Dr. Phares is truly an expert on Islam — and no dhimmi.
I hate Romney but he should wear this as a badge of honor.
Phares is an excellent writer. He is lucky to be alive given all he has said over the years about fundamentalist Islam. I am surprised Mittens has chosen him. Dr. Phares is a great choice for this position. If only Mittens could choose this well on his advice for the environment…
Wow. There’s a lot of bigots in here. Pathetic.
