How many times is CNN going to post this same, non-news incident?

What is this, the 40th post on this woman?

Notice who a lot of her constituency is? Muslims. She's playing the victim. A person does their job and she cries crocodile tears. Liberals love being the victim. Look at Kerry today. He's making the rounds playing the martyr for standing up to the republicans after he smears our troops again. They are no more than elitist pigs who rely on the dregs and the uninformed of our society for votes.

She was held up, in an airport, for a "very brief period of time".

Good grief, how many of us has that NOT happened to!?


But hey, it makes for headlines on CNN!

What do you expect of a TV station that runs video given to them by the enemy of our troops being picked off. Nothing like being the pawn for spreading propaganda and calling it "news". Educated dummies.

Ignoring the fact that you are automatically equating "Arab-Americans" with Muslims.

Orange county has a population of approximately 3 million.
Orange County QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau

Approximately 1% of this nation is Muslim.
Largest Religious Groups in the USA

So she has 24,000 Arab-Americans which you assume means "Muslim", and statistically she should have 30,000 Muslims in Orange County, assuming an even distribution.

It seems she is 6,000 under her "quota".

Yeah.
Doesn't everybody know that the REAL victim is actually a blastocyst that are half the size of a period. THOSE are the REAL victims...
============================================

What's really stupid about this story is how much it focuses on her when the real interest is the "list" involved. So many questions regarding the list hang in the air, and the article doesn't even try to answer most of them.

Feh.

Okay, what is the religion of the arab-Americans in her district? You don't know. I do. Most arabs are muslims in this world and that is a fact. I'm going by facts and you're going by political correctness without any basis of fact.

The person at the airport was doing their job and she is crying because she is the victim. You love that don't you? You love being the victim and crying about someone violating your rights because you are a homo. Poor baby can't get married like normal people. Poor baby crying for another poor baby who had to follow the rules at an airport. Cry me a river.

"facts"?
You just state your opinion. You present no statistics. No facts.
No facts as to how many Arab-Americans in this country are and are not "Muslim".

You're stereo-typing.

And for the record, we're not talking about "most arabs".
We're talking about Arab-AMERICANS.
Or are you implying that an Arab living in the Middle East is equivocable with an Arab-American citizen of the U.S.?

I don't see that.

What I do see is her commenting on the SYSTEM itself.

Here you go, trying to change the issue again.
I don't even see how you think she is claiming to be a victim in the first place.

She talks about her experience, but she NEVER BLAMES any of the people she dealt with.
There is no quote complaining about how she feels "victimized".

YOU like whining about liberals and "victims", so you pretend she is playing a victim, but you're full of crap.

I'll stand by my comments about arab-americans being mostly muslim until you show me facts that prove me wrong. Until then, you are whining.

If the person at the airport was not wrong, then why all the fuss? What is the article about? Tell me.

Did you even get the fact that if we ASSUME what you are saying is true regarding "arab-americans" and "muslims", that still means Orange County has 6,000 FEWER than they should by average statistics?

You claim Muslims were "a lot of her constituency", but it's less than 1%. LESS than the national average for her population size.

Do you get that?

Are you just incapable of reading and comprehending?
The PROCESS has flaws in it.

It gets back to your incapability to distinguish inbetween people doing their job, and how the JOB ITSELF needs to be fixed.
