Comment: Isn't Representative Abercrombie's statement curious, coming as it does from a congressman who has sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution states, "No Person except a natural-born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States [. . .] shall be eligible to the Office of President." This is typical of many on the Left; the Constitution is a sacred document . . . unless of course it states something contrary to liberal wishes.

Comment: Oh, yes! And that nasty video about Mohammed caused Benghazi. And not a single secret email passed through Hillary's private server. And Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. And she applied to be a Marine in 1975. And when hubby and she came out of the White House, they were not only dead broke, but in debt. And . . . It seems Ms Abramson is following the same tradition Hillary has followed for most of her life. That is, she is fundamentally dishonest and untrustworthy.

Omar Ahmad

Former president of the Islamic Association for Palestine, and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He chaired the CAIR Board of Directors from 1994 to May 2005.

Quote

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

Said to Muslims in California in a 1998 speech titled "How Should We, as Muslims, Live in America?"

Source: As quoted in an October 2013 letter from the Thomas More Law Center. Also.

Comment: First Amendment freedom of religion -- bye bye. Muslims do not want freedom, they want Islam to dominate. Islam and freedom are not friends. (It should be mentioned that Mr. Ahmad said the quotation was a "total fabrication." However, the reporter who wrote about the quotation stood by her story. I tend to believe the reporter.)

Woody Allen

Born Allan Stewart Konigsberg on December 1, 1935, Woody Allen is a screenwriter, director, actor, comedian, jazz musician, author, and playwright.

Quote

"The Republican Party should get out of [Barack Obama's] way and stop trying to hurt him . . . It would be good if he could be a dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly."

Said in remarks to the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.

Comment: What is it about dictators that appeals to so many liberals? Jesse Jackson has said, "Viva Fidel [Castro]! Viva Che [Guevara]! Castro is the most honest and courageous politician I've ever met." Naomi Campbell said, "[Fidel Castro is a] source of inspiration to the world." Francis Ford Coppola said, "Fidel [Castro], I love you. We both have beards. We both have power and want to use it for good purposes." Gina Lollobrigida said, "[Fidel] Castro is an extraordinary man. He is warm and understanding and seems extremely humane." Oliver Stone said, "[Fidel Castro is very] selfless and moral. [He's one] of the world's wisest men." Don't these people understand that Castro has killed more than 100,000 Cuban citizens? Proportionally to the population, he has killed four times as many Cubans as Hitler killed German Jews.

Comment: Apparently, the referenced posting has now been taken down, but other comments made by Mr. Allred include: "He [President Trump] wants Americans dead." "Donald Trump makes me ashamed to be a human being." "Donald Trump is a traitor and a terrorist." It appears Mr. Allred's comments have not been universally appreciated. On August 1, 2017, he wrote: "Montclair State has fired me before I even started teaching there." Montclair State students should be thankful.

Khalid Al-Mansour

Author, lawyer, orthodox Muslim, black nationalist, top advisor to a key Saudi official, mentor to the Black Panther Party, and outspoken enemy of Israel.

Quote

"The white people don't feel bad. Whatever you do to them they deserve it. God wants you to do it. And that's whether you cut out their nose, cut off their ears, take flesh out of their body. Don't worry. God wants you to do that."

Said in a recorded address as documented in a YouTube video.

Comment: According to Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton, in comments videotaped with a local New York City news station, Dr. Al-Mansour got in touch with him in an effort to help Barack Obama get into Harvard Law school. If that's true, then it appears Barack Obama is indebted to a known radical extremist for underwriting the expense of some or all of his Harvard education. I wonder how Mr. Obama plans to repay Dr. Al-Mansour for the financial assistance.

Reza Aslan

Author, public "intellectual," religious studies scholar, producer, and television host. He has written three books on religion.

Quote

"This piece of sh-- [President Donald Trump] is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency. He's an embarrassment to humankind."

Comment: The referenced article says Mr. Aslan's posted Tweet has now been removed, and he has issued an apology. According to reports, the TV host/"scholar" ate human brain tissue with a group of cannibals in India for an episode of his CNN show "Believer" on March 5, 2017. (Reference.)

Comment: You have every reason to expect to find a few American haters and even terrorists among those in the U.S. population. You don't expect these dangerous individuals to be professors, influencing our young people in highly-regarded colleges and universities.

Bill Ayers

Quote

(1) "I wrote Dreams from My Father. Michelle [Obama] asked me to. [. . .] I really wrote it [. . .]"

(1) Said around 9:00 a.m. October 5, 2009 to Anne Leary near the United Airlines gate at Reagan Airport.
(2) Said at a book festival, as reported by Will England, October 3, in the National Journal.

Comment: These statements, if true, pose a little problem for Barack Obama, because he claims to have written the book himself. It's supposed to be an autobiography. Said he, "I've written two books. I actually wrote them myself." (Said July 10, 2008 at a meeting in Fairfax, Virginia.) Maybe the general public will excuse a President's lies, but a book publisher has a reputation to uphold, and the mainstream media aren't running interference for book publishers. Random House is likely to be highly agitated if it is indeed verified Obama lied about who actually wrote Dreams from My Father.
