Finally, someone got it right. The ignorance on this thread is staggering. Some people obviously think Arabs and Persians are the same ethnic group (although Huma Abedin is neither). Every Iranian (Persian) I have discussed this with is very clear that they are NOT Arabs - they are offended if you call them Arabs. Some people also thinks that all Arabs are Muslims or perhaps all Muslims are Arabs. Persian / Arab is an ethnic distinction. Muslim / Christian is a religious distinction. American / Russian is a national distinction.
And her father was born in New Delhi, India... also not Arabic. The trump-bots are mad because she is hotter than melanoma trump.
Same place as you get yours, the media. If you, as apparently do, get your information in bars, it says a lot about your sources. - - - Updated - - - You brought up Jarrett, not I. Can you say strawman? - - - Updated - - - And her ideology is Iranian. Look at her record. - - - Updated - - - Only "facts" as you describe them not in reality. - - - Updated - - - Only to those such as you who are looking for false facts and claiming them to be true.
Holy (*)(*)(*)(*)ing Christ... your ignorance is staggering. You should really try broadening your sources of sources of information. Iranians aren't Arabic. They are generally descended from Persians... It's people with that kind of ignorance level that go aroung beating up Shikhs because they think that they're Muslims. I know, I know; all brown people look the same...
Are you making a point of demonstrating your ignorance? What has she ever had to do with Iran? She is not Iranian (Persian), wasn't born there, her parents aren't from there, as far as I know she never lived there. She doesn't speak the language and may never have even visited the place. Specifically - what in her record demonstrates that her ideology is "Iranian"? Whatever that means.
Good God man, Thousands of Americans and Europeans worked in Iran when the Shah was in power.. You think every American kindergartner picked up Iranian ideology? What is Iranian ideology? I have been to Iran a dozen times..
Every bio of him from every position he ever held says born in Moscow, Russia. How much more authentic do you want?
He wrote a thank you note for allowing his Jewish family to come to the U.S.A. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs...tor-frank-lautenberg-did-for-my-jewish-family
Ah yes, that must that superior Jewish intellect at work, the logical desire to bring in groups which tend to hate Jews more than everyone else.
You do realize that calling Iran an "Arab country" is like calling Ireland a Scandinavian country, right? I would think after Carter's famous flub that this would be part of our basic public knowledge.
My ex-father-in-law is a Persian Muslim. He bought top-shelf whiskey and cured pork for me for every holiday gift and he probably had more respect for my religious and political views (despite our differences) than most of my white, Christian family.
Someone born in another country may not be eligible to run as POTUS. I don't think there is any such restriction on senior advisor of a political campaign? I may be incorrect there.
It may not be technically against the law, but it certainly is a conflict of interest for a candidate like trump who acts like he is going to give fellatio to the flag on stage.
Not technically? Not at all, which is why I thought it strange to compare it against a legal argument of the POTUS birther (*)(*)(*)(*). Meh, not worth calling out on this one. He's noted that he's previously employed foreign workers, his wife is not American and it would be foolish [and not in business interests] if he picked a lesser person for the job just because of nationality. I think there are plenty of other things to focus on when it comes to trump
Holy ****ing Christ. You are as ignorant as they come. Look at history, real history not the stuff you make up, and you will see that that entire area has always been considered Arab. You liberals have tried changing names for it and anything else that makes you uncomfortable but it doesn't change the facts. It is people with your level of ignorance that are allowing terrorists into this country with open arms and looking the other way when they commit crimes.
