If an Arab that was a muslim had tried to Spy on a US Senator what do you think would happen?

This is not a prank. This is very serious shit. It is a clearcut case of attempted Domestic Spying.

1. I can see the bombs dropping now

2. probably the same thing.

I'm assuming the Arab in your theoretical question is an American.

5. Why not, like that Sargent that killed all those soldiers was an American.

I believe there would be a lot more of a stink about it, but I could be wrong. Maybe Americans, especially Fox News would just shrug and say it is good for a laugh and that would be it..

8. huh? are you suggesting that mass murder and phone tapping a Senator

are equivalent? I'm sure Fux would make a stink if it was an Arab American. I thought you were referring to the charges leveled.

10. Spying is spying whether it was done by an Arab American or by a Republican

That is what I am saying. Also I am saying that Republicans would be hyperventalating if it had been an Arab American but because it was a Republican operative they won't say a word..When I mentioned the Sargent that killed a bunch of people it was only because of his ethnicity and religion and not his crime. Republicans are calling it an act of terrorism, but if the same thing had been done by a white Republican, I doubt those same charges would be made..I was not saying the two crimes were comparable..Only the reactions from Republicans would have been.

3. You know what would have happened! He/she would have been carted off to Guantanamo Bay. n/t

4. They are dumbass idiots.

They could have gotten a scanner that picks up cell phone calls, you can't get them in the US but I think they sell them in Canada.

6. It's good to remember this in our exuberance. n/t

7. The fact that they made it into the office suggests

that domestic terrorists like O'Keefe should be locked away.

9. Everyone would shit their pants.

But since this is only politically motivated espionage perpetrated by some scrawny white creep who looks like a child, nothing will come of it.

Nevermind that there was most assuredly someone else (maybe even someone well known) pulling the strings. Not important, because he's clearly not a Muslin.
