Rightwing whackjob Debbie Schlussel is once again inserting extra hatred
in to the Presidential campaign, by attacking Barack Obama for meeting
with ****ite religious leader Imam Hussien Al-Qazwini, the leader of the
largest mosque in America.
Obama met with Qazwini before his town hall last week in Warren,
Michigan. They chatted for a few minutes, and Qazwini gave Obama a copy
of his new book. Predictably, the wingers have gone crazy.
It makes sense that Obama would meet with the Imam. Qazwini came to the
United States in 1992. He was first in California, but eventually ended
up in Dearborn Michigan, home of the largest population of Middle
Eastern Arabs outside the Middle East. The Arab-American population in
Detroit—between a quarter and a half million—is diverse, but the largest
group is Lebanese ****ite Muslims. Beginning in the 1990's, the ****ite
Lebanese were joined by Iraqi ****ites.
Like these new immigrants, Qazwini is from Iraq. His Grandfather was an
Ayatollah in Karbala who Saddam arrested, and he died in prison.
The family fled Iraq, Hussein Al-Qazwini came to the US, and unlike most
of the Arab-American community, was a strong advocate for overthrowing
Saddam...
Which brings us to the fun part about the wingers going crazy over
Obama's meeting with Qazwini.
OOOOO-- How many of the wingers were going crazy in 2003 when Qazwini
gave an opening prayer before Congress?
Who complained that Qazwini met with staffers of the Bush
administration's National Security Council to talk about the overthrow
of Saddam?
Where were the complaints about the four or five invitations to visit
Bush at the White House extended to Qazwini?
Did the wingers flip out when Qazwini participated in the roll-out of
Bush's Faith Based Initiative, an event that took place at the White
House?
And what about those events Bush attended in Dearborn, the ones with
these great photos:

Most of the wingers are just hypocrites, or incapable of using Google as
a way to avoid embarrassing themselves. They're just pu****ng this
garbage because they're authoritarian Republicans. If it was McCain
meeting with Qazwini, they probably wouldn't utter a peep.
