Guests of Obama?

I would like to think the FBI is using this opportunity to get some moles in the Islamofascist organizations, but I would bet they are forbiden.

Charles? How can people hold an open conference advocating the overthrow of the American system? I'm a big free speech advocate, but surely this is over the line?

I can only hope the DHS has infiltrated this group, they sound like some bad dudes for sure.

. Into which hotel lobbies will the delegates be rolling their carry-ons?

Pig roast.

If you cannot openly state* who you are or what your beliefs and aims are, you are doing something wrong.

*In the US. I understand there were and are countries where the good people have to sneak around, like Cuba and Iran.

The entire Political Science Department of U.C. Berkeley is essentially a permanent unending conference devoted to overtly overthrowing the capitalist system.

Par for the course these days.

We can have a town hall forum "It takes a Caliphate." Sorry ladies, you can't attend.

I'm shocked...shocked, I tell you, that they would decide to set up shop in the president's old stomping grounds.

Maybe Billy Ayers can take in some of the attendees in his Hyde Park place if there's no lodging.

Will President Obama be delivering any greetings, videotaped or otherwise?

I hope that hotel is thoroughly wired.

What will they do if they find there is a Bar Mitzvah at the same time?

Ah, I see now. It ties into the environmentalist movement. If we are reduced to the level of the CCCP, we will

a. Use less toilet paper, because we wont' have any.

b. Flush less, because the water will only occasionally be on.

c. Drive less, because we won't have cars.

d. Eat less, because there will be less food.

e. Have fewer kids, because who wants to bring kids into a screwed-up world.

It all makes perfect sense. It is one whole. They want us to be living in the Iron Age, under the village organizer chief.

We have the KKK, National Socialists (the real thing) and weird religious sects. Even Ron Paul, Huckabee are allowed free speech. At the April 15th tea Parties (I think in Memphis) they had an anti-government militia called the Oath Keepers take the stage and vow to violently overthrow the government if they felt the Constitution was violated (their personal interpretation, of course).
We allow this as free speech all the time.

Why Chicago? I thought Caliph-fornia would be a more likely venue.

Probably the same reason many conventions are in Chicago. It's a great hub for airlines and is pretty centrally located. Everybody can get a cheap flight.

Can we send in the Westborough (sp) Baptist Church freaks?

re: #24 Arrr

I'd like to video tape a protest of one of their gatherings with sings like "We Eat Pork" and "Our Women Go To College".

And if they desecrate our flag, we desecrate their Koran.

Should make for interesting viewing.

They desecrate one flag, you desecrate 2 Korans
Its the Chicago Way

The open nature of this weekend’s Khalifa (Caliphate) Conference in Chicago under the Hizb ut-Tahrir banner indicates that the group has decided to enhance its recruiting efforts among U.S. Muslims. Until late last year (when it publicly called on American Muslims to boycott the November election) HT had operated in secret or through front organizations here.

Well, they sure are feeling emboldened. Wonder what happened late last year to cause that ?

Oh, I thought it had more to do with smokes, hookers and booze, but I guess that reasoning works too.

Exactly. And they're away from home, away from prying eyes.

I know exactly.

... it advocates violence (see here, here and here) and its prominent alumni include terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and Abu Musab Zarqawi along with suicide bombers.

Nothing to fear, Obama is here!
Obviously they have no reason to hide any longer, not since folks are all unclenched and stuff these days.

My understanding is that the booze prohibition only applies in Saudi Arabia (at least for some), and they can get around the hooker bit by marrying them (as long as they have fewer than 4 wives at the time), then divorcing after. Just say "I divorce your", not sure about how to get around the drug restriction...

I hope they all wear St. Louis Cards jerseys.

Does saying "I don't have an STD" three times get rid of that little problem? Just wondering.

Listening and video recording devices.
Let them have their conference. Then track every single person there. Better to know who the jihadis are.

I think that is a shia practice instead of a sunni practice.

Divorce isn't that easy
you have to say "I divorce you" three whole times. Maybe even walking around a fire pit.

The President wore a Chicago White Sox jacket at the All Star game. I must admit, he looked pretty cool. But his throwing motion looked way off. I guess the kevlar vest underneath made it hard to throw.

He can't bowl. What makes you think he can throw a baseball?

re: #53 Cannadian Club Akbar

He plays competitive basketball. And they guys he plays against are good players. He can throw a baseball 60 feet. It was 99 freaking degrees in St Louis the other night. Why was the Big O wearing a WARMUP jacket? To hide the bulletproof vest, for sure.

I agree the vest point. I don't think he got the baseball 60 feet. Didn't it skip?

Oh! First I thought it was FOX News going a little nuts with their graphics but it's actually Hizb Ut-Tharir's official trailer for the conference they showed. When I went to get my fix on American daily headlines I saw this article / video on FOX News about it.

Huckabee's offense is in advocating changes to the Constitution which would make America's government a manifestly Christian, religious one. Not unclearly, either--he has said this quite clearly.

I wonder how ling BO spent worrying (practicing?) about getting this pitch just right, as opposed to worrying about this treasonous meeting of muslim terrorist sympathizers...?

A few posters have advocated:

if they desecrate our flag, we desecrate their Koran.

I disavow the sentiment. Burning a book, especially a sacred book, would be feckless.

Agreed.
The hot dog cart idea, however, was golden.

Hi KansasMom

I like how you placed kind words at the end of your post. It removes the emotional sting from my words while keeping the idea intact. I had struggled with trying to find a way to make disagree without being disagreeable. After all lgf is a forum where friends can discuss ideas. Thanks for teaching me.
