Clueless LA sheriff defends Hamas-linked CAIR

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case -- so named by the Justice Department. CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR's cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Honest Ibe Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements.

Nor is that all that can be said about CAIR. See more here.

But just try telling it to the blinkered dhimmi who is the sheriff of Los Angeles.

"Sheriff Baca argues with Republican congressman about Islamic group," by Robert J. Lopez in the Los Angeles Times, March 17 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca argued with a Republican congressman from Indiana during a hearing Wednesday when the lawmaker questioned his relationship with an Islamic nonprofit group.

Baca was in Washington testifying before the House Committee on Homeland Security when he was questioned by Rep. Mark Souder about attending fundraisers for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, officials said....

The exchange between Baca and Souder was recorded by a reporter for KPCC-FM (89.3). To hear the recording, click here.

"There's a substantial difference between protected speech and government officials going to fundraisers for organizations that do speech that is radical. And Sheriff Baca, you've been 10 times to the fundraisers for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which even the FBI has separated themselves from," Souder said, according to the recording.

Baca shot back, citing his service in the Marines and support of Israel, according to the report. "The security of Israel has always been at the forefront of my thinking," he said. "And for you to associate me somehow through some circuitous attack on CAIR, is not only inappropriate, it is un-American."

Whitmore said department records show that Baca attended two CAIR fundraisers in recent years.

"Just because they are Muslim Americans does not mean they want to destroy Israel or the U.S.," Whitmore said.

Right. But what about all the evidence?

LASO is a fine organization. Too bad their leader has his head up his ass.

"Just because they are Muslim Americans does not mean they want to destroy Israel or the U.S.,"

Even if one gazillion Muslims scream 'death to Amrikee, death to da Jooozzz", day in, day out, there is never any evidence.

Could it be that the sheriff is one of those who do favors for money?

Just because they are Muslim Americans does not mean they want to destroy Israel or the U.S.

Say what?

*** Bukhari Vol 1 Bk 1 Nbr 6 ***

Maybe the Sheriff should crack a damned book or shut the hell up on the subject. And quit hanging out with Moslems too. Even better, why not start enforcing those unconstitutional hate crime laws? I've got a couple of million suspects he could have his deputies surveil.

But what about all the evidence?

Evidence?? The County Sheriff is an elected position...
Hopefully the voters will look at this evidence and correct the mistake...

This is no Sheriff, this is a consummate politician. Live by the vote. Die by the vote.

No doubt CAIR operatives will charm Sheriff Leroy Baca with their ever present taquiya offensive for VIPS.

Sheriff Baca oversees the largest sheriffs dept. in the country at more than 10,000 sworn deputies as well as a huge jail system throughout Los Angeles County.

Unless Sheriff Baca has a clear understanding of CAIR's infamous background and their assorted dealings in America, he is wise to stay clear of CAIR just as the FBI has done.

I'm always reminded that within hours after the 9-11 attack, Sheriff Baca ordered patrol units to maintain a running inspection of Synagogues and Jewish schools for months after the attack so he cannot be completely ignorant of Islamic determinations.

I attended a gathering of LA city and county officials with Sheriff Baca shortly after 9-11 at the County's hall of administration in which the leaders of the Islamic Center of Southern California where present. They passed out a small pamphlet entitled "Glimpses from the Quran" which for me turned out to be a total sham when it comes to the teachings of the Quran (I still have a copy of that booklet).

"Could it be that the sheriff is one of those who do favors for money?"

sheik yer'mami

I can safely say that Sheriff Leroy Baca is not about money for himself. When he was elected sheriff after former Sheriff Sherman Block passed away he felt uncomfortable receiving both his Deputy Sheriff's pension and his new salary as the sheriff of Los Angeles County and he actually wanted to give it back or reduce it dramatically.

We need an organization designed to warn Americans about islam called RAIR: Rescue Americans from Islamic Relations

I don't think those among the posters above who assume the worst about Sheriff Baca, or attribute the worst to him, are likely to put him in a frame of mind to do what we all wish he would do, and that is a simple thing: to read, and study, enough of the contents of the Qur'an, Hadith, and Sira, and enough about Taqiyya (and Kitman) and Tu Quoque, and to do so in a slow and methodical way that allows him really to take it in, to ponder it, to make it his own, to consider all the wiles and guiles and reasons why he, and many others, have made assumptions about Islam, and hence about CAIR, that are unfounded. He's not a Tariq-Ramadan, a John-Esposito. Why not try to appeal to his sense of duty, his need not to accept what for us is transparent propaganda but may not be recognized as such by everyone?

The congressman is out of line. Polician and judges have appear at our mosque along with the FBI agent than there is nothing illegal about it as they are running for office as it part of they job. The mayor of many cities no matter what they religious belief are show up at other religious events as it is apart of they job.Only one mayor who was jewish who illegality order than tearing down of than islamist building the court rule the city must pay money to the muslm community.

The notion that this man doesn’t know what he is doing at those meetings, is to say the least, niave. This is the exact way that the Islamic movement has been able to get this far and farther. This guy is either on their payroll or he is getting something out of it, probably the support that gets him “elected”. HAT TIP

I started to respond to your post in a reasonable fashion...but you are just so damned dumb, I can't bring myself to do it...except to tell you how dumb you are. You are really dumb...and very entertaining...
There's just no hope of communicating with you. Like trying to discuss politics with a 5 year old.

islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.

That congressman was absolutely NOT out-of-line! See, in a free society anyone can be questioned and / or criticized. People can consider for themselves what of this is legitimate and form (and express) their own opinions. This is not the easy way; it requires effort, critical thought, taking a stand. Fortunately, the benefits are more-than worth the labor. We get to use our brains in the way our God intended. The contrast with the mindless-drone-ism of islam couldn't be more stark & telling. No (sane) one born to FREEDOM wants to trade it for tyranny--the very thought is loathsome. Perhaps that can help you understand the visceral reaction you get from many posters here. You profess to defend what we see as anathema to our cherished way-of-life! Expect us to fight this in every way and you won't be disappointed...

BTW, back in the Cold-War era, if the good Sheriff had attended 10 Communist Party fundraisers, do you think he'd have been questioned? Criticized? McCarthy-ism aside, you're damned right he would have, and with good reason! We all have to answer for our actions; that includes sheriffs, senators and presidents. And...that includes MUSLIMS, too!
Welcome to the Free World...

Polician and judges have appear at our mosque along with the FBI agent than there is nothing illegal about it...

But it should be.

*** 8:7 ***

I'm not a lawyer but my suggestion is that such visits be illegalized as infractions of hate crime laws. So long as we're saddling ourselves with unconstitutional laws, no reason not to put them to good use.

*** 8:58 ***

Make sense?

Welcome to the Free World...

I wouldn't go that far.

As someone at another site put it and everyone here knows, these vermin are deadly serious. Here's a link to a UK convert (converts seem to be the worst) spouting a lot more hate than usual. Maybe someone should send the "clueless sheriff" a link?

http://loganswarning.com/2010/03/16/muslims-are-coming-to-give-us-our-rights-hate-filled-video/

George,

Very well stated! This "Defender" is absolutely clueless about the properties of an open society. We should also know that it ("Defender") would not understand this.

Anyway, Rep. Mark Souder is a great guy. He represents IN-3, one of the reddest (CPVI R+14) districts in the state of Indiana.

He gets it.

So, how far would you go, then?

Compared to the various islamic-ruled Crapistans on this planet it still looks pretty free to me. And that was my point...

"That congressman was absolutely NOT out-of-line! See, in a free society anyone can be questioned and / or criticized."

Exactly what I was thinking when I read that. When I read that Baca played a "patriotism card" like that it sent off warning bells. Reading that, I doubt very much he's just another ignorant Hollywood boob who gets his knowledge of Islam from George Clooney over lattes.

Someone who is accused of supporting a seditious ideology does not reflexively shoot back that the accuser is "un-American" for even suggesting it (as if being wary of foreign AND domestic threats could ever be UN-American), a "good" American would call the guy a jerk and immediately say he's a proud American. But no, he decides to play a Patriotism "card" like a Race or Islamophobe "card", a tactic meant to end inquiry and dissuade others from similar future accusations.

Boneshack,

I think muslims and their apologists would like to discredit this site and its devotees as "haters," hence their baiting, provocative comments. And so much of their "defense" of islam is so absurd that ridicule only follows naturally! Add the illiteracy-factor and you have pie-in-the-face comedy. It's hard to resist and it's funny as hell!

If there's one thing I'd hope they'd understand, it's that people here don't "love to hate." If they hate, it's because they understand. Islam has provided more than enough good reasons for any and all the hate and ridicule they get from anyone in the civilized world. As an American, they gave me 3,000 good reasons in one day alone--and that number keeps growing...

Thanks,

G

I live in a city where people would call you hater. It not odd for electric offical to vist all place of workship where I live. The only hater who live here is serviing than 14 year pision term in Federal pision for throwing than fire bomb at muslim childern on than playground after 9-11.
Our mosque have good relationship with the larger community.
Than other person called the DA reporting we have hidden rooms with weapon than false report as all our wall are only 2 to 3 inches thick build on than concrete slad. The Da was disgust with that hater. That one jewish mayor lost the next election due to his illegal action. First he want to built us for the cost of tearing down those builting the State court rule his action illegal than the city must pay the cost afew million dollar. Our current mayor who is jewish isnot going to appeal the ruleing. The FBI does investale hate crimes against anyone.

I was than born america who convert to Islam after 9-11 I learm about Islam in 1968 than was thinking of convert for some time before 9-11.

DoI,

I was than born america who convert to Islam after 9-11 I learm about Islam in 1968 than was thinking of convert for some time before 9-11.

You, sir/ma'am, are an illiterate boob. If you're going to make statements of fact, then tell us "facts".

What city are you in? Which mayor are you referring to?

You "learned" about islam in 1968 but converted after September 2001?

What took you so long? Did you have reservations? Or are you so stupid that it took you 33 years to barely comprehend the Koran?

Inquiring minds want to know....

Boneshack - you have just given high praise to Rep Souder.

I hope that you have also praised him to his face, in a suitably appreciative letter. Other US jihadwatchers here may like to do likewise, especially if they reside in Indiana.

ALL signs of having 'got it', re. Jihad and sharia and the need to resist same, that are perceived in the words and deeds of any halfway decent politician or aspiring politician - or in any journalist or news editor - in the non-Muslim world, should be encouraged.

"It only takes a spark to get a fire going".

DDA,

Thank you for your kind words. I do not live in Rep. Souder's district; however, I have written to him to congratulate and support him on his stance in support of Liberty and Freedom.

He does get it. My own Congressional Representative, Mr. Steve Buyer (IN-4), is also a man who "gets it". I've written him numerous times. (I think I'm on his fast-dial. LOL.)

District 4 is very, very red. Islam and sharia will make no in-roads here in west-central Indiana. You can take that to the bank!

Have a great sharia-free day there in Oz!

The Alaskan Infidel had it right all along with his post above. I do try, but can't make any sense of DoI's responses. Boneshack, I hope he does answer your questions. Unfortunately, though, trying to reason with this guy is a "bridge too far..."

George,

As long as I've been on JW, it takes a special skill to understand the trolls. This guy (DOI) takes the cake.

Trolls can never just simply relay facts. It's always oblique references to "this" and "that". The victim card. The racist card.

You know the drill. I won't expect any intelligent answer from this doofus.

Thanks, George. Keep up the good fight.

"electric officials"...

I mean...I most always let spelling and such go but, some of this guys...defenderofislamisms...are just too damned funny. I really do believe that we are dealing with someone of extremely limited mental capacity.

I suggested that he either use a translation program or stop using the one he is.

By the way...good to see you.

islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.

It is a mistake to calumniate Sheriff Lee Baca with the accusation of Dihimitude. He is a deeply Christian man, with a Buddhist wife and perhaps a slight Buddhist leaning . He is also proud of a lifetime of Jewish friends and mentors and understands a lot more about the threat of islam than can been comfortably admitted to in public.

Insinuating some kind of naiveté about CAIR on his part based on the necessary community outreach meetings which are part of his duties as Sherriff of the county is in itself naïve based on a poor understanding of the Lee Baca. This attack on our Socal Sherriff is way off, misses the mark and is totally misguided and wastes our precious energies where they can be better focuses an the real enablers of islam within our borders.

Please try to re-read his quote from the article sited,
“The security of Israel has always been at the forefront of my thinking," he said. "And for you to associate me somehow through some circuitous attack on CAIR is not only inappropriate, it is un-American.
To say more is not in the interest of the safety of Los Angelinos who are a major target of the suicidal zombies of islam

It is my strong personal belief that CAIR posses a greater danger than even Al- queda, as it acts inside the USA, and support of hamas or not. It is a foreign army inside of our shores dissemination propaganda for isalm, it is threat to our liberties and constitution, and is sustained by foreign enemy interests and Abe Hooper is a traitor who will someday be responsible for great pain within our shores for his enablement of isalm
Nonetheless , please reconsider the tactic of lib-like knee jerk reactions of easy labeling in you attack against Lee Baca. My opinion is based on personal and professional experience working in projects with his department going back to the Block days.

My IQ is over 140. They first thought I was retard due to my damage speech center in the brain, then when they retest me 4 year later it was over140 that one reason I donot believe in IQ tests. Islam will win in the end as it is allah.

Boneback Even the 4th dirist in India have muslim in it now and any illegal threat by redneck will get then arrest by the law. Today at the muslim I was talking to than mexico muslim from the city right across from the boarder. The violation in Mexico is getting worst in all part of Mexico from the ungoing drug war between the government and the war between the different drug gangs. Our electic officals are more worry about than strill over of the violation into our city than worrying about muslim and cairs, the drug gangs threaten to behead one of our city policeman here. I think the Mexico government will fall to the drug gangs.

I was than born america who convert to Islam after 9-11 I learm about Islam in 1968 than was thinking of convert for some time before 9-11.
.........................

Wow—"DefenderofIslam" claims to be a "than born america" (sic)—my God, the schools are worse than I thought.

I, too, tend to let typos go. I've certainly made them myself. But "DefenderofIslam" is virtually illiterate.

I always assumed that he was commenting here from some Muslim hellhole deep in Dar-al-Islam, or that he was a recent immigrant to the West. I guess he is instead a fine example of a "home-grown" revert.

Unless, of course, he is lying, which is also a strong possibility.

Hello, Everyone! Boy, are we going to have fun with DoI's latest installment of "stupid."

DoI says:

Boneback Even the 4th dirist in India have muslim in it now and any illegal threat by redneck will get then arrest by the law.

Hey, shit-for-brains, that is the Fourth Congressional District of the State of Indiana, i.e, the 19th State of the Republic of the United States of America. There are no rednecks here in this district. No one is going to be arrested.

P.S. We know how to contain the muslim zombies in our district (i.e., our lands.)

This is NOT India. Get that through your thick M-F skull!

Today at the muslim I was talking to than mexico muslim from the city right across from the boarder. The violation in Mexico is getting worst in all part of Mexico from the ungoing drug war between the government and the war between the different drug gangs. Our electic officals are more worry about than strill over of the violation into our city than worrying about muslim and cairs, the drug gangs threaten to behead one of our city policeman here. I think the Mexico government will fall to the drug gangs.

DoI, your rant above about the Mexican drug cartels and the subsequent border drug wars has ZERO bearing on this discussion here. Where the F*ck you came up with this absolutely crazy idea that islam, the Mexican drug wars, and the 4th District of Indiana came up...well..it's only in your f*cking mind. Good Lord, are you really that retarded?

(I take that back. You really are fucking stupid. Your "supposed" IQ of 140 is complete fucking bullshit.) You really should be locked up in insane asylum! Fuck me running! I've had stray cats smarter than you!

Hey, DoI, get back to me when you can differentiate between a State (Indiana) and a country (India).

I have the Patience of Job.
