Debbie Schlussel Heartbroken Over Her Former Congressman Boss' Terrorism Conspiracy Indictment
Debbie Schlussel, a minor-league pundit wingnut who sees Muslim terrorists around every corner and questions whether Obama should be president "when we are fighting the war of our lives against Islam," went on Fox and Friends today to talk about how it could possibly be that the former Republican Congressman she used to work for was just indicted in a terrorist fund-raising conspiracy.

Debbie Schlussel: I am so shocked and saddened by this. It's heartbreaking because when I worked for Mark Siljander he was probably the most anti-Islamist Congressman on the Hill. He was the one who most understood the Jihadist threat decades before 9-11 and before most people in America I think really understood the seriousness of it.
She just can't explain how it is that her "anti-Islamist Congressman" could have done what he's accused of except that he must have needed the money.
And John Cole noticed something funny about that old ID she posted.
Yet another in a LOOOONG series of GOP corruption.... if someone ever had the time and patience to actually sort out ALL the GOP corruption that has INFECTED OUR NATION since, say, the Nixon era... they could have VOLUMES to books to sell for years to come. Frankly, I for one cannot keep up with it... it is mind boggling that this party even has a following.
She has willful ignorance. People like this have the unbelievable capacity to ignore stuff that is staring them in the face. "I Want To Believe" poster children, all of them.
One thing that Fox and Fiends is good at is finding psychotic losers to come on their show. It's worse than a circus freak show.
Get over yourself Debbie and your phony "heartbreak." Like we really believe you.
frist.
wingnut terrorist helper
Sijander was a phony Theocrat, bilking the RR with his sanctimonious crap-ola
while seeing how he could rake in the bucks.
Debbie, Debbie, Debbie...
Why don't you don't admit it? From Duke Cunniham on down, the Republic Party IS THE Party of Corruption, where the Almighty Dollar is the Real God...
bah
Chartoff: Arrest Debbie Schiussel, she has a stolen GOV.I.D.!!!!
This reminds me when Tweety said about a yr. ago: "I just can't understand why the American People don't like George Bush?'......I heard that with my own ears.
Since she did not surrender her id, shouldn't she be under investigation? To what, exactly did that id give her access?
Reading her blog, she is so very, very racist too.
"It’s heartbreaking because when I worked for Mark Siljander he was probably the most anti-Islamist Congressman on the Hill."
and, boink, there it is. this is what the GOP respects and admires, behind closed doors. yet, when the cameras roll they profess their respect and admiration of all religions, and claim that the al qaeda-element gives Islam a bad name. that is, until miss skank spills the beans (which we already knew). the GOP is anti-anything non reichwing christian.
Oh, I am so sorry to go OT but I just have a second. Tonight Chris Mattehews does a mis culpa about what he has said about Hillary. Must have felt some pressure from somewhere. It goes on for the first five minutes of his show. It's a must see.
Bummer Deb... You can imigine my dismay to discover an American politician in bed with bad guys... Who wudda thunk... Gee what's the world coming too....tsk tsk.....JD ;-)
Is it a coincidence that the Faux twits didn't mention he was a Former Republican Congressmen? hmmmmmm, strange.....
Like most Conservative Christian Republican he is a born again crook and con artist. I'm surprised the bleach bottle blonde bitch didn't say Clinton made him do it.
"he was probably the most anti-Islamist Congressman on the Hill"
Just like Larry Craig was anti-gay. Anybody see a pattern here? If someone in power is foaming-at-the-mouth-anti-something, it's a sure bet they're guilty of the transgression themselves.
Wow....I just finished the clip and the out pouring of sympathy for the Former Republican Congressmen/terrorist supporter is stunning. Where is the anger, the outrage, the demand for his execution?
yeah, whooda thunk that the people who hate americans would act like they hate americans enough to hurt america?
Just goes to show a Republican will do anything for money including sell out his own country to terrorists. If proven guilty do they still hang those guilty of treason in this country? Come to think of it, no one in the White House has swung for the treasonous act of outing Valerie Plame. Nevermind, I just answered my on question.
Dr. Matt @ 16:
IOIYAR!
It's

Gosh, it’s almost as if the Mainstream Media were nothing more than a propaganda organ for the corporatist Republican party… But if THAT were the case, why, wouldn’t we expect the quality of public dialog to rapidly decline into a kind of circus?
"Debbie Schlussel: I am so shocked and saddened by this. It’s heartbreaking because when I worked for Mark Siljander he was probably the most anti-Islamist Congressman on the Hill. He was the one who most understood the Jihadist threat decades before 9-11 and before most people in America I think really understood the seriousness of it".
Yeh he knew how dangerous they were, BECAUSE HE WAS F-ING FUNDING THEM.
CoIntelPro @ 17:
All bad guys wear black hats, cloaks, and have evil looking waxed mustaches.
errrrrrr, correction: "Former Republican Congressman"
:)
Anti islamist ? hahahah jesus wept these people are retarded, it's not even "Islamist terrorist" anymore, just Islam in general they hate.
If you go to http://www.debbieschlussel.com, the blog of Debbie Schlussel, and scroll down to the "What Happened to My Former Boss Mark Siljander?: Indicted for Helping Islamic Charity That Funded Al-Qaeda, Taliban" post, what is extraordinary is that her conclusion about the incident involving her former boss was this:
Since any of us, even the most patriotic of citizens, may succumb to these "forces of evil", maybe Mitt was right, and we should "double Guantanomo". Either that, or people should learn to differentiate between self-professing "born-again Christians" and those who demonstrate their Christian faith by their actions.
Ms. Schlussel should have known that a "tree is known by its fruit".
If Siljander were a Democrat or someone else that opposes the Republican war machine he would be hung from the highest tree as soon as this came out. Yet, he is a Republican so the right wing war mongers support Siljander in his support of terrorist groups. I can see why slijander did it. Its hard to have a Christian Crusade when the other guy isn't playing along so you pay him off.
Ask sibel Edmonds who will be the next, well shes already told us -

"She just can’t explain how it is that her “anti-Islamist Congressman” could have done what he’s accused of"
kind of like gay bashing homosexuals, or sexually deviant bible thumpers....oh wait a second.....
or maybe not :)
He's got alot of company as many other Republican Law Makers did the same thing. This is just the beginning of what will soon come. We will learn that it was the USA and the Saudis that set this hold thing up for greed. Notice how the US had people paid millions of dollars to fix election over seas. Now you know why the White House was so fixated on the TV show 24. It was what these idiots used but now the players aka US got played by the Saudis. This Congressman is one of many who have helped with the crimes committed by the Bush Administration. What's truly sad is to see good Republicans support the criminals and the current Administration. Talk about heads in the sand the Republican Party was must better then this. As we see Rev. Huck a true crazy Pastor out for money using God the same way Bush did. Mitt is lying to everyone who will listen to get a vote. Rudy is just out there hanging. If the American people don't vote for a Democrat President look for the Saudis to move in as they call in their loans and pick up more shares of US banks. Republicans want to send immigrants home, soon Americans will be working for the new US Saudi Government. Yes we will see change but not like we thought. The Media is lying for the money and working for the corrupt White House. What's so surprising is how dumb Americans have become. Immigrants know more about the US Government and American History then American citizens.
It was so sad to what the people of Michigan vote for Romney as he lied and promised to bring back the car industry knowing it will never happen. So Mitt sees it worked so he'll move on to lie to other State voters. McCain wants to make War with Iran and stay in Iraq for 10,000 years. He's problem is Lieberman will move from VP to President and Isreal will be in charge of the US. I guess Americans don't mine having a Nuclear War as the US will have no allies at all.
Yer man waxman is more concerned about baseball-

Dr. Matt @ 23:
you mean Republican former Congressman, its all in the semantics.
Whatever this woman believes herself to be, she ISN'T a writer, that's for certain. Who wants to read her Valley Girl's breathless free association? She was 'shocked' so many times, it must have caused a lobotomy!!!
JS @ 32:
hmmmm, no, I meant former Republican Congressman
debbie is an idiot. maybe if she was not so busy piping this guy, she might
have noticed the alleged illegal activities he was engaged.
CoIntelPro @ 17:
let's see......could you mean bush and cheney also?
Keeping the badge, not that big a deal...
The "inconvenient truth" for her - that either the charges... and root there of
or the reality of her former boss's and the GOP's beliefs (it's about the benjamin's) - priceless
tend to believe it's the former...
Looks like Debbie has kind of let herself go...
Dr. Matt @ 34:
did he change party membership, or did he lose his seat in congress? I thought he was still a republican after he left office.
I'm sure her paycheck made her 'forget' about his dealings. "Who could have imagined...."
and "I don't recall...."
Dr. Matt @ 34:
fwiw, I'm with JS, "former Republican Congressman" could be construed that he's no longer a Republican.
JS @ 39:
Depending on the context and sentence structure, "Former Republican Congressman" tends to be more grammatically correct than "Republican former Congressman".
I love Debbie Schlussel.
"He was the one who most understood the Jihadist threat decades before 9-11 and before most people in America I think really understood the seriousness of it."
You mean when Ronald Reagan supported "freedom" fighters in Afganistan and Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq War. Where was her boss then? Oh right...funding terrorist groups with him.
And he did what exactly to prevent 9/11? I mean he'd understood for decades... Just asking.
Debbie needs to sign up for a long weekend at the
"Ann Coulter "Finger down the Throat" Anorexia Camp for Right
Wing Female pundits"......
Looks like she's put down too many Big Mac Meals sitting behind the mike pundi-cating.....
Samson- @ 10:
They against divorce yet they're the most divorced people in the country. They're the most promisciuous, too although they're against pre-marital sex. Oh yeah and how wide is all their stances?!
Debbie Shlush-Fund , another in a long list of those that are "shocked" by the behavior of the GOP ; a group that is all about money and power and absolutely nothing else...
Oh now I remember where I saw her! It was in the skin flick called “Debbie does Dallas Cowboys”!
Wow, first secretly gay, then secretly a terrorist. Republicans sure know how to hypocrite.
Debbie Schlussel is an all for a dollar store Coutlerian harlot
Oy! The airbrush artists have been working overtime again!
dadams @ 36:
that's exactly where I was heading. the line forms on the right!
Dr. Matt @ 42:
How about: former republican congressman and currently a traitorous republican scumbag terrorist-supporter?
Just a little more botox in those lips and she would be able to use them as her own personal flotation device.
From her blog:
"When I worked for Mark Siljander, in the summer after my junior year of high school, and again when I was headed to college, I was just 16, but more than an intern. I wrote speeches for him, I helped tutor him in Hebrew, which he learned to speak and write, and I accompanied him to many events."
Did this passage strike anyone else a little creepy?
Let me guess, she put out a press release about how shocking, shocking it was that Ted Haggard likes male hookers.
Gekke @ 29:
If the Sibel Edmonds case ever comes to light we might learn for sure that the biggest security threats to the US come from within our own government.
Reslugs are crooks, criminals, terrorist lovers and troop sacrificers.
Kevin @ 37:
Kevin,
I work for the DoD on an overseas military installation and I can tell you, it's a big deal. Perhaps it's different inside the continental U.S. but I had butterfingers once while fishing and lost my wallet over the side of the boat in 1993 (prior to the days of terrorists being behind over tree and under every bed) and the base security guy asked me, "did you think about going in after it?"
Now, if you lose an ID card, YOUR BOSS is required to submit a statement on your behalf and you have to submit a written statement explaining how you lost it.
They also hit us with "protect your ID" propaganda on AFN (overseas military TV and radio).
It's a big deal.
I can see why Debbie would want to keep it however. That picture is a perfect reminder of why the 80's should not come back in vogue. I wonder if she was wearing a 'Frankie says RELAX' t-shirt when they took the pic. ;-)
i would like to see howard stern's dick in her asshole.
On a different vein, when the preznit campaign turns ugly, I mean really ugly, this is gold.
republican = terror ties.
You got this cat in bed with them.
You got pics of bush holding hands with Saudi royalty.
How more connected to terror can you get?
Read her blog. She's the Valley Girl of Anti-Islam, like, I'm sooo shocked, like, how could he doooo this, like, it's shocking, like, he was sooo Christian, like, he musta needed the money, poor fellow, Omigawd, I'm shocked!
The stupidity oozes from every sentence.
redcat @ 60:
That would make one of us. Actually, that's a visual I could go the rest of my life without.
But, whose voice is deeper?
So congressman Siljander was a phony hater while Deb is a hater of a higher order, a purist, hating for Jesus. But, according to Deb, perhaps Siljander did it for the money. In her eyes, Siljander might be redeemed by greed.
Let's see, the Republicans have now produced the following:
1. Mark Foley - phony crusader against child abuse and exploitation exposed for making sexual advances on teenage boys in Congress
2. Larry Craig - phony crusader against gays exposed for soliciting sex in a bathroom stall
3. Bill Frist - phony crusader as "right-to-life" doctor who professes to diagnose Terri Shiavo by videotape exposed for having amassed a fortune through family business, Hospital Corporat of America, which was convicted of Medicare fraud and paid a $1.7 billion fine - the largest in U.S. history
4. Tom Delay - phony crusader for ethics in government exposed for campaign finance chicanery and reprimanded by even his Republican colleagues for numerous ethics violations
And now
5. Mark Siljander - phony crusader against the supposed "terrorist threat" posed by innocent muslims exposed as a terrorist conspirator
I can wait to see what's next.
(Somebody help with this list. I know there's some I've missed.)
"We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." - Benjamin Franklin.
And Deb's workin' overtime, folks.
Pardon me if i am not convinced that all these charities are running around the world stuffing money into the pockets of terrorists. I am not saying they are not, but it irritates me that without having to present evidence to a court the Bush Administration just made a nice long list of charities any American could be arrested for giving money to.
Accountability works both ways.
Tim in Japan @ 63:
Stern has his dick up so many asses I doubt he has the time.And yes,that is a visual I don't need,thanks.
Debbie Schlussel is completely disgusting. People need to hear her remarks about the VT killings. She said that the killer was a "secular south korean jihadist in league with Al-Queda" and "since he killed so many people, we should not let in so many foriegn students". She is repugnant and another Right-Wing hatemonger.
EMPY @ 55:
Not creepy-pathetic. A 16 year old was writing speeches for him?WTF?
Cut #999....
Yawn....tell me something new. And Debbie is a fuckin pig, she needs to get back to her double wide and feed her kids corn.
Is this going to be like the gay thing? Where really anti-gay people are gay, are all these conservative right-wing, flag-hugging, anti-muslim racists, really closeted al-queda?
it ain't terrorism if it makes money. gee, thought everyone knew that?
andy @ 31:
No kidding. The damn country is coming apart at the seams, and these stupid bastards in congress are worried about whether or not some jock took a steroid when he hit 45 homeruns. Un-f'ing believeable.
With regards to dim-bulb Debbie, she really is one sick puppy.
Two more cots please, at the hotel Gitmo. Where all republican terrorist sympathizers belong!
CoIntelPro @ 53:
I like it.
NoGWBPolicyLeftinplace @ 75:
I'm in.
The "Republican Taliban" and their apologists. Create the terror, profit from the terror.
When I was watching those in the 90s, I was always perplexed at the TV spot urging you not to let others see your ID because some would love to know what they looked like so they could create fakes. At the end of the spot they put up a full screen picture of a sample ID.
NoGWBPolicyLeftinplace @ 75:
It will work, but by putting the "former" before republican, you eliminate republican from describing the scumbag terrorist-supporter. He is a current republican, former congressman, now terrorist-supporter.
Cartman @ 38:
If her appearance wasn't bad enough, the vile crap coming out of her mouth is. You wonder if she ever met a muslim. She's a racist POS.
By the way, in case you were curious, judging from the ID picture, the curtains currently don't match the carpet.
Isn't it a felony to keep a government ID card after you have left government service?
wmholt @ 25:
Oh, my God, Debbie used to work for this guy!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Why am I not surprised?
That was strange. I was quoting Andy @ 24.
Oh brother, not only another repug crook, but a "born again evangelical" piece of shit as well.
I fear these idiots as much as any Muslim for going off on the deep end. Wacko.
Really "heartbreaking". I can only wonder what it would have gone like had he been a Democratic politician. I bet they all would have been so supportive and compassionate.
PIGS!!
Schlussel closes her comments with, "Like I said, Mark Siljander is the last person I'd ever think would do this."
Why would she ever have thought that? He's a Republican! How could such levels of corruption and ethical depravity ever have been such a surprise to her? After all, this is the same crowd that hands out tobacco lobby checks on the floor of Congress, the same crowd that said CIA operative Valerie Plame was "fair game" to out. The latter was nothing short of treason by Karl Rove and the Vice President's office. OF COURSE SILJANDER WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!
I've read her, and read her being mocked, but had never heard her speak. How touching her serving as a character witness. Talk about the dumb and bigoted leading the dumb and bigoted. Go Fox News!
What is wrong with that heiffers mouth?
If this guy is a True Republican®™©, he was just doing what the Republican Party is all about: playing and inciting both sides for fun and profit. It's what they have been doing since WWI, "managed conflict". Incite hatred, foment wars, and then keep the wars going for as long as possible, profiteering from from sales of weaponsand from plunder. he'll probably get a Freedom Medal out of it before it's all over.
TC-14 @ 87:
How can we forget they are the party of family values? Anti-gay, loyal husbands, protest and defend the constitution, lies, controlled spending, signing statements, honor our soldiers, obey the law? Who would have thought? Republicans, the party of the hypocrite.
I can't get past the fact that her mouth looks like Clutch Cargo's mouth. Remember that Saturday morning cartoon character from long, long ago? Is that what botox does to lips? Makes them look like some weird cartoon character's?
BTW, Schussel is what Leo Strauss called a "useful idiot".
So it's a good thing to be "the most anti-Islamist Congressman on the Hill"?
What kind of fucked up, racist bigotry is being promulgated within the republicans? Imagine someone proclaiming to be the most anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, or anti-whatever and being an elected official? This comment of hers touches upon a fundamental truth that goes to the core of these creatures known as republicans. They are foul and hateful, even as they cloak themselves in the falsities of their religious beliefs.
Make no mistake! They HATE anyone not exactly like them!
much more on this at my blog...
Dude @ 69:
OK. So to use that line of thinking, since Timothy McVeigh was an army vet and since he killed so many people we should not allow army vets to remain in the country.
motorfingaz @ 89:
Somebody else noticed the Clutch Cargo lips, too.
"...He was the one who most understood the Jihadist threat decades before 9-11 and before most people in America I think really understood the seriousness of it..."
Well, Debbie, we know WHY he understood the most now don't we? He was PART of it!
Why does the Republican Party hate America and support the terrorists?

JS @ 79:
I like it.
i like the way she doctored the photo on her webpage to make her breasts look bigger (or to delete a less-than-flat middle section...or both). if you save the photo and look at it blown up you can see what a crude editing job it is. very classy.
DaveTheAngryRhodeIslander @ 94:
Most excellent observation! And it's funny how so many of us missed that -- with conservatives constantly trashing Islam and Islamist beliefs, it's amazing how one's eyes can gloss over causing one to forget YOU DON'T TRASH ISLAM. YOU TRASH TERRORISTS. And for ignorant hillbillies who think they're one-and-the-same, think of the 99.99% of Arabs and Persians who DON'T set off bombs, think Timothy McVeigh, think the abortion clinic bombers and shooters, think of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing, think of the Birmingham, Alabama bombing that killed four girls....all of whom were committed by....drumroll, please....RIGHT WING terrorists.
Luckily our federal, state and local law enforcement agencies have the perfect fix for that last inconvenient truth: Put PROGRESSIVE groups, including anti-war groups, under surveillance.
eric c @ 99:
I tried that and I couldn't make it do what you said, but one thing I noticed was that shot, which is the one she's always had up, looks like she went to 'Glamor Shots' at the mall to get it done. I looks like she could never be troubled to put on that much slap ever again. She does look at all like that photo, partly because her cheekbones have gotten padded somehow.
Poor old cow.
NoGWBPolicyLeftinplace @ 98:
Here's how I would write it:
The former republican congressman and current republican lobbyist and terrorist supporter, and also known antithesis of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, who is running on a campaign to limit the effectiveness of all lobbyists, whether they be terrorist supporters or not...
Yes, it's extremely lengthy but it leaves no doubt as to the ties to the republican party and gives John Edwards a plug to boot!
She is trying to put lipstick on a pig. ;-)
IdahoMoe @ 103:
No. I'm sure fox hires a make-up artist to do Debbie's make-up. ;-)
A few points:
1. Faux News never identified the ex-Congressman as a Republican or a Conservative in its graphics package. See William Jefferson, another crook by a different party.
2. Debbie used to be a short-haired brunette. Now she's a long-haired, Faux News, Conservative blond.
3. Debbie, per her own blog, said she started working for the Congressman while in high school, and claims that she wrote speeches and taught him Hebrew. A Conservative Born Again Congressman hired a teenage girl to write his speeches and teach him Hebrew? Paging Mark Foley.
4. Debbie's blog site shows a picture of a trim blond. Debbie, as per Faux News, has put on a fair amount of weight and at least one extra chin.
5. The Faux News blond anchor showed ample cleavage. Debbie did not.
Old Billy @ 81:
The modifications were needed to qualify for the witless protection program.
She just can’t explain how it is that her “anti-Islamist Congressman” could have done what he’s accused of except that he must have needed the money.
***********************************
Translation: IOKIYAR.
Funny...usually, when ordinary people "need the money", they ask the bank for a loan or get a second job or put their house up for sale or something like that. For that matter, I very much doubt that most "ordinary people" make even half as much money as an ex-Congresscritter. No...people who sell their souls and/or sell out their country are generally motivated by greed, not need.
So...
It's becoming obvious that some of the most blowhard ones, working both to promote the boogeyman of the day and portraying that boogeyman as way more numerous and powerful than we imagined, are actually working for the boogeyman.
Simply doing violent extremists' work for them by helping and abetting them at every opportunity:
- Helping getting the message of out. Help spreading the message of terror and fear.
Planting the seed of an agressive response and panic that might hurt ones own society by threatning Democracy and human rights. Doing EXACTLY what every Islamic terrorist wants by giving them a platform to scare people with.
- Helping with funds.
:o
Anyone think that Mark Siljander is the only Manchurian candidate?
Thank you Debbie, if it wasn't for the prescriptive meds I'd say
you should get a job on FOX. Hey Deb, the FBI wants to know
why you didn't turn in that Congressional staff ID as per official staff ID badge
instructions. The only thing you forgot to mention is that he was a REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSMAN who betrayed his country.
What a skank! What the hell was she on or drinking?
miss_kitty @ 101:
here it is blown up larger

Wait wait, this could all be a huge mistake! Just because Mark Deli Siljander was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists, that doesn't mean he actually committed those crimes.
These mistakes have happened before! Look at Senator Larry Craig! And don't forget Scooter Libby!
I guess she just can't get it through her bony little head that the whole anti-Islamic shtick is just a means of getting elected and is always trumped by the almighty dollar. Look at Rudy: "911, 911, give me the money."
"Ambassador for Christianity"
Every time you throw out your inate understanding of "right and wrong" and your learned understanding of "lawful and unlawful" in favor of your interpretation of "God's Will" you end up rationalizing a horrible multitude of wrongs.
Wasn't she the one with the flabby thighs trying to wear micro-minis?
"It's hearbreaking."
I bet FOX would be saying the same thing if it was a Dem. caught for this crime. That poor man!
time for some mysogeny
debbie used to be hot....nuts, but hot
she has hit the wall hard
usually, i find that sad....not this time
all that inner ugliness has now come the surface
try and get married now, debbie....you stupid, nasty cow
