The Philadelphia Inquirer describes a very revealing moment at the CAIR annual banquet, when Rep. Joe Sestak brought up the touchy subject of condemning terrorists who murder innocent civilians in the name of Allah: Sensitive political test for Sestak. (Hat tip: LSD.)
Near the end of the speech, amid clanking silverware and the burble of table conversations, the former Navy admiral said it was not sufficient for any group just to condemn terrorist acts.
He said it was CAIR’s duty to condemn individuals or groups that commit terrorism, and he specifically mentioned Hamas and Hezbollah. “It’s the same as those who did not speak out against the perpetrators of Jim Crow laws … or the Holocaust,” he said.
The remark drew no reaction from the audience.
