Republicans in US House Demand Boston Bombing Be Politicized


Under the sleaze tactic of never letting a national tragedy to go un-politicized, the GOP led House will hold hearings.

wtf?

:evil:

This Right Wing Piece of Shit, Michael Thomas McCaul, Sr. will hold hearings?
Controversy

In August 2011 AlterNet reported that McCaul, along with John Culberson and Ted Poe were attempting to remove the right of deceased soldiers families to choose which prayers, if any, were to be read at a soldiers funeral.

The three politicians were said to be attempting to impose Christian ceremonies on the military funerals of everybody who has served in the military, regardless of whether or not the deceased was Christian and with or without the consent of the family of the deceased.

The three politicians stated their demands were a response to Veterans Affairs (VA) banning Christian prayers at military funerals, however, VA state this claim is "blatantly false" as VA respects a families "rights to pray however they choose at our national cemeteries"

This is the ultimate in sleaze bag politics. These very same right wing Congress people have time and money to play these sleazy games, but no real time to do what they were elected to do 'the people's business'

XXXXXXX

who cares what you think

Really?

It's not like the obama regime has always told the truth.

Come on Dante,

First of all the title of the article is "Congressional committee calls hearing on Boston bombings" (your title is extremely misleading and exaggerated), and according to the report the aim is to figure out why the bombings happened and if we can do anything differently to prevent something like this in the future.

Given that one of these guys was on a FBI and CIA watchlist at one point, and that he was physically interviewed prior to the bombing after being tipped off as a potential threat, obviously people are going to wonder why he "slipped through the cracks". I mean, I don't see how any reasonable person would get upset by this, lol.

Please (and I say this with the utmost respect), try to post horseshit threads that intentionally try to stir up angst between the right and the left. It does us no good.

They're just following the Democrat playbook. What's your beef with that?

If you truly have trouble with Headlines that are 'extremely misleading and exaggerated' you'd better not venture outside of your comfort zone.

You say "according to the report the aim is to figure out why the bombings happened and if we can do anything differently to prevent something like this in the future." yet choose to ignore the track record of the man heading the committee? :eusa_whistle:

You are using facts in an extremely misleading and deceptive way. No one "slipped through the cracks" The process worked. There was nothing there at that time. Are you demanding the US Government spy on people in this nation without any evidence?

Read the facts of what transpired with the US and the Russians. Your deceptive misstatements lay the foundation for the Right Wing Politicization of the national tragedy. Are you being duped or are you that pathetically partisan?

It's official that the FBI interviewed Tamerlan in 2011, and decided he wasn't a threat despite a direct warning from Russia that the man was dangerous.

FBI Interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Dead Bombing Suspect, In 2011: Official

Does this fall into your 'myth' category regardless?

Demand? Politicized? Oh, those are the OPs words, not part of his linked article.

But this is:

"Ultimately the investigation will assess how our efforts have evolved to meet the dynamic terrorist threat of foreign-inspired attacks on our soil, and what changes may be necessary to protect the homeland," Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said in a statement.

Let's see. In spite of the efforts of the Department of Homeland Security - and its many tentacles that reach into the various intelligence and snoop groups throughout the federal government - and in spite of at least two warnings from foreign governments, foreign travel by the dead dirt bag to a bad ass part of the world, and God only knows what else that we don't yet. We dropped the ball, you lunatics, and trying to figure out the hows and whys seems like a rather serious investigation that should happen if we'd like to think we've got a chance against future threats.

Anyway, nice misleading headline and the low information folks will swallow it hook, line, and sinker. That's their forte.

You have misrepresented facts yet again. The FBI was notified. They checked things out. The Russians gave the US nothing to go on that would warrant further action than was taken.

Both CIA and FBI recommended putting the guy on a certain status of watch list. That was done. There is NO way to make America 100% safe without giving up all our rights...and even then...

We know more now. You need to stay away form the media reports you use because you are ill informed and pathetically unequipped to think critically.

Dante, think for just one minute.

We were given a tip that this guy was dangerous - right? And by whatever measures the FBI uses to validate that claim, he was rated as "not dangerous".

So (given that he turned out to actually be very dangerous) is it is perfectly logical that one would want to retrace their steps and ask the question; did our initial ratings/measurements in 2011 fail us? Perhaps, is there something different we could have done?

Why the heck are you against any sort of investigation (in preventative measures) after one of the most profound/televised terror attacks in the US since 9/11?

So (given that he turned out to actually be very dangerous) is it illogical for one to want to figure out why our FBI investigation/measure failed us, and to see if (perhaps) there are some tweaks we could make?

This is a rare terror attack that succeeded; are you saying that we shouldn't investigate why it happened?

Before you call me an idiot, you should probably do a good assessment of yourself.

we were warned about OBL and you dont seem to need to go after Bush for iugnoring it until htousands died

You either purposefully choose to ignore, or ignorantly misunderstand simple issues. :eusa_shhh:

The man calling for the investigation cannot be trusted according to his own track record of holding hearings
