Justice Department Found Guilty of Discriminating against Wackos and Extremists
Bush's Justice Department is in the hot seat again, this time for having implemented a screening policy to weed out job applicants who are "wackos" and "extremists." Naturally, Democrats are highly displeased to find themselves discriminated against.
A particularly egregious example:
One candidate, a Harvard student fluent in Arabic who was at the top of his class, was put in a "questionable" category evidently because of his membership in the Council on American Islamic Relations civil-rights group.
While CAIR is a civil rights group to Reuters, others know it as a front group for Hamas. Through CAIR, Hamas has set up a legal fifth column, modeled on the ACLU and devoted to softening our resistance to future terror attacks. The operation has admitted that convicted Islamic terrorists were CAIR officials. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), no friend of conservatives, has referred to CAIR's "intimate links with Hamas." Even Dick Durbin, the Senator who compares our troops at Club Gitmo to Nazis and communists, has noted that CAIR is "unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect."
But Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appears less squeamish as he righteously intones:
Never again should blatant partisanship be made the crux of the Justice Department's hiring practices … It houses our nation's top law enforcement officers, and it has been crippled in the last seven years.
How the Justice Department has managed to function without being infiltrated by Hamas is anyone's guess. But not to worry: Democrats will soon put it to rights.

More firm proof that liberals are suicidal.

CAIR's founder stated that its goal was to eventually subjugate the USA under sharia. I can see why the party of Barack Obama would have no problem with that.

"Ga. sex offenders challenge church volunteer ban By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer
Tue Jun 24, 5:44 PM ET
ATLANTA - Five sex offenders filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming that a tough new Georgia law that bans them from volunteering at churches also robs them of their right to participate in religious worship.
ADVERTISEMENT
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Rome, claims the Georgia law effectively "criminalizes fundamental religious activities" for sex offenders and bars them from serving as a choir member, secretary, accountant or any other role with a religious organization.
"Even helping a pastor with Bible study or preparing a meal in a church kitchen will subject (sex offenders) to prosecution and imprisonment," the complaint said."

So when are you quitting, senator?

I am sure the Justice Department never screened out conservatives during the Clinton Administration. Leahy brings up the US prosecutors firings by Gonzales as support for this ridiculous audit, when Clinton fired them all and that was not viewed as partisan ???. The Bush administration should have a right to screen flagrant liberals out, thats whats wrong with the Justice Department now; Clinton'd people are still there. And the Republican AG again apologizes. What do you think the Democrats will do if they win the election, be open to conservatives in the Justice Department?

This is sooooo stupid, it defies logic. I think moonbats want to destroy the country and feel good about killing off 80% of the worlds population since we are so evil we emit carbon into the atmosphere!!! I wonder if they wake up in the morning and ask themselves, "Who can we kill or destroy today"????
