Liz Cheney: Terrorists' 'Recruitment Goes On Through Mosques'

[onehandle]

Source: Huffington Post



U.S. Senate candidate Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) made her presence felt at a Tea Party function on Saturday, revealing some thoughts on mosques and terrorism in America.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports that Cheney appeared at an event in Emblem, Wyo., where those two topics emerged into the conversation. According to the paper, Fox News terrorism analyst Wayne Simmons made comments earlier in the event suggesting that growth of mosques in America is leading to more recruitment outlets for terror groups.

“I do think that we know that recruitment goes on through mosques,” Cheney said in response, the Star-Tribune reported.

According to the Powell Tribune, among the other attendees at the Big Horn Basin Tea Party picnic was Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.). The Associated Press noted that this was the first time Enzi and Cheney were at the same event since she announced her U.S. Senate candidacy against him in July.

1. Republican racism at it's best.

[PatrynXX]

2. Same goes for any other religion

Your in the wrong country Liz

[Wilms]

3. Look up the story of the "Newburgh Four".

Mosques are places where the FBI goes to foment, supply, and finance terror plots. And the judge in the case called them out on it.

4. daughter of the biggest R terrorist should explain her hate and fear of religious buildings

[Blue Owl]

7. Is that what daddy told you?

Sounds like pure speculation -- let's see some facts, not just some made-up shit posing as an excuse for war...

[Tanuki]

8. "I think that we know..." says Liz. n/t

[DallasNE]

9. There Are 3 Mosques In The Whole State Of Wyoming

Two in Cheyenne and one in Laramie. I can see where that would be a hot button topic in Wyoming -- NOT. http://www.salatomatic.com/c/South-amp-East+244

From the demographics of Wyoming I am surprised that Wyoming could support 3 mosques. Cheyenne, Wyoming's largest city, has a population of 59,000. Laramie is Wyoming's 3rd largest city with 30,000 people. Hispanics are by far the 2nd largest population group.

And this is a priority with Liz Cheney?

Conclusion: she's a rank demagogue. Just like her war criminal dad.

13. Checked out the "Sovereign Citizens" and their church-going members lately?

An arrest was reported recently of a couple of the members of the group called "Sovereign Citizens" who believe the government's taxation is illegetimate, and they have a "God-given right" to freedom, as they see it. They were going to kidnap a Las Vegas police officer, hold a trial, and then execute the person, who they had not chosen as yet.

'Sovereign citizens' held in plot to kill Vegas cops - More here.

Wonder where they do their recruiting?

...
According to a new study released Wednesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the number of so-called hate or anti-government groups grew last year in the United States, fueled by a deeply felt socio-economic clash between the wealthy and the rest of the country, hostility from the right toward President Obama as he prepares to run for re-election, and the ease of the Internet to spread information.

The center, which has tracked such groups for 30 years, identified 1,018 hate groups in 2011, up slightly from 1,002 identified a year before, but the SPLC said this shows a continuing trend of "significant growth" that began over a decade ago.
..
"Nightline" was recently able to get inside the sovereign citizens movement, starting in a small church in Center Point, Ala., where Donald Joe Barber and his congregation of sovereigns, many of whom are middle-class and educated, were gathered to pray.

Here.

Maybe the problem isn't churches...maybe it's just broken people. So maybe we ought to look into what broke them, instead of just where some go to pray...

14. She should not generalize all mosques, but some of them, a very little minority, yes.

But I supposed that some of the right wing church are also productive in terms of terrorism.

[gadjitfreek]

15. EMBLEM????

I've driven through that town. It had a population of 4 back in 1983. Its official population now is 10. What an amazing venue for someone who should be relegated to obscurity like Little Miss War Criminal.

[The Second Stone]

16. Well then lady, name the mosques, recruiters and

terrorists so that we can do something about the actual terrorists. Or are you just trying to foment religious hatred? Thought so.

[tanyev]

17. And the Bush Administration recruited for the Coalition Provisional Authority

from the Heritage Foundation. What's your point, Lizzzzzz?

[Aristus]

18. Playing to the cheap seats and the cheap people sitting it them.

Safe topic for Wyoming, I guess...

[gopiscrap]

19. Liz Cheney is a fucking idiot

she needs to worry about her fishing license and stfu!

[olddad56]

20. She knows a lot about terrorism, it runs in her family.

[Mr_Teg]

21. It's not that she's wrong it's just lacking a "So what"

What is the reaction or follow on action that should be taken?

[Skittles]

26. er..........say what?

[Mr_Teg]

27. It's a statement of fact...

Some recruiting happens in mosques.. and on the internet.. and on the street... and in private homes...

The sky is blue and 2 + 2 = 4...

So what?

[Skittles]

28. your statement was not even a statement

it made no sense whatsoever

[Rain Mcloud]

23. And what Public Service does Fox News provide exactly?

It seems to me they foment hatred and violence for the purpose of terror with zero benefit for the common good.

[blkmusclmachine]

24. blah blah blah

[Skittles]

25. her dad is a terrorist
