Monday Roundup

I'm not feeling it today, dear readers.

* * *

Ex-Rep., current nutcase Cynthia McKinney and ANSWER host an event on NATO's Libya campaign, refuse to let in Libyans.

Gay Orthodox groups get their first float at the Tel Aviv gay pride parade.

I remember when this scandal broke, but I confess I didn't expect any criminal indictments to come from it: Aides of former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich (R) charged with voter suppression crimes.

The "Anthony Weiner's secret Muslim agenda" conspiracy theory still has legs on the far-right.

Supreme Court rejects class certification for a giant sex discrimination case against Wal-Mart. Scott Lemiuex has good commentary up.

Muslim Heterosexual Agenda

Much like Barack Obama, it turns out that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is a secret Muslim.

When looking broadly at the Anthony Weiner-Huma Abedin union, we have to wonder if the coupling of a Jewish American man and a Muslim woman of her pedigree was fostered by love or by a socialist political agenda.
[...]
It is also important, when looking at this situation, to remember that observant Muslims practice Taqiyya , an element of sharia that states there is a legal right and duty to distort the truth to promote the cause of Islam.

(Correction: Paragraph removed for inaccuracies. Apologies are issued and we regret the error. The Communities)

Given the defense articulated by the Imam, which would be offered only for a Muslim man, we must believe this opportunity to remove this Muslim woman from a union with an non-believer would be quickly taken. Therefore we must consider that Mr. Weiner *may* have converted to Islam, because if he did not, we have to consider the unlikely, that being that Ms. Abedin has abandoned her Muslim faith, even while she still practices.

The Washington Times went a pretty deep on this one, even for them. And you have to wonder what was so far off target that they were forced to remove it even as they breathlessly wonder about whether Taqiyya is prompting everybody to lie about Weiner's secret conversion (because who has ever heard of an interfaith couple?).

One Tequila Two Tequila....

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) has the quote of the day, speaking from the House floor on the healthcare repeal debate:

"You know, I want to just advise people watching at home playing that now popular drinking game of 'you take a shot whenever Republicans say something that's not true.' Please assign a designated driver. This is going to be a long afternoon."

Lolz to the wallz, boys.
