The Hildebeest's VP Pick Tim Kaine's Islamist Ties
2016-07-24
[Clarion Project] Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s newly-announced running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, has a history of embracing Islamists. He appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission; spoke at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect and received donations from well-known Islamist groups.

Appointing a Muslim Brotherhood Front Leader Who Supports Hamas

In 2007, Kaine was the Governor of Virginia and, of all people chose Muslim American Society (MAS) President Esam Omeish to the state’s Immigration Commission. A Muslim organization against Islamism criticized the appointment and reckless lack of vetting.

Federal prosecutors said in a 2008 court filing that MAS was "founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America." A Chicago Tribune investigation in 2004 confirmed this, as well as MAS’ crafty use of deceptive semantics to appear moderate. Convicted terrorist and admitted U.S. Muslim Brotherhood member Abdurrahman Alamoudi testified in 2012, "Everyone knows that MAS is the Muslim Brotherhood."

#13  Kaine's a weasel and a disgrace to every Virginian (particularly to the idiots who voted for him).

TV "news" around here is going to be a bigger PITA than usual between now and November. They're already sucking up to him and Shrillery. >:-(

Well, we know that cannot possibly be true.

#7  Thanks Tennessee. Glad Kaine didn't shut down my favorite 'rest area' in Upperville.

#6  Good to know, Tennessee. I wonder why she picked him -- perhaps because as a former governor he has some idea of how governing is done, however poorly.

#5  Did Huma do the vetting?

#4  trailing wife Abedin was raised in Jeddah, KSA. Maybe one parent is from Iran and one from Pakistan, but she is most likely Sunni.

Kaine is an idiot - so incompetent that he shut down Virginia's rest areas on the highways. Kaine and Obama campaigned for his hand-picked successor Creigh Deeds - who was thumped in the next governors election as push back against Kaine's failures. Kaine was helped into the senate during the 2012 presidential election cycle...not sure he is too popular amongst most Virginians.

#2  The interesting Ms Abedin's father was Indian, and her mother is Pakistani, according to Wikipedia.
