[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And meanwhile, why did 23 Republicans pull out of a bill to condemn anti-semitism when islamophobia and white supremacy were added to it? We only care about anti-semitic hate but anti-muslim hate is perfectly fine?

Because it was intended to be a resolution in response to Omar's statements.  It ended up being something very different.  Did you listen to the Jewish Democrats who made statements?  They were obviously upset about it, but, being loyal Dems, they voted for it anyway.  Listen particularly to Engel and Wasserman-Schultz.[/quote]

Why shouldn't it have ended up what it was?  Why do we only care about anti-semitic hate speech and not other forms of hate speech?  It was the right thing to do, to have it encompass ALL forms of hate speech.[/quote]

Interesting--that, almost as the resolution against hate speech was being passed--that Omar retweeted a hateful tweet against Meghan McCain and her dad.  Don't think the lady congressman "gets it."  [/quote]

Well Meghan is "scared" of Ilhan so I hope the tweet didn't frighten her too much. McCain is not Jewish. Are you accusing Omar of being anti-Christian now? Or is it your position that she is not allowed to respond to critics?
