[Peace-discuss] Liberals speak up for killing Arabs

[From ABC's The Note. Can the Democrat liberals sink any lower?  (Yes,
yes, I know.) For all the reasons to oppose this American puppet, they
choose the wrong one...--CGE]


DCCC Chairman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), and Rep.
Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) are circulating a "Dear Colleague" letter to other
members of the House, urging House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) to
cancel Wednesday's address to Congress by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki on the theory that his condemnation of Israeli attacks on
Lebanon put him at odds with U.S. policy.

The letter reads: "The Speaker's podium reflects our nation's values. We
the Members of the House, under your leadership, decide who receives
that honor, and the list should not include anyone whose interests
conflict with the United States."

The Democratic House members wrote to inquire about how Maliki was
chosen to receive the honor, and have asked for an apology.

Emanuel spokeswoman Kathleen Connery tells ABC News that as of last
night, they had "approximately 20 signatures." Emanuel's staff is not
going to release the letter until mid-morning when they are done
collecting signatures and have forwarded the letter to the Speaker.
