#2 The dumbasses don't realize that he is giving US Muslims an opportunity to look like non-threatening good citizens.

So if they foul it up and look like a bunch of mud worshiping psychopaths, it is their own damn fault.

Sorry for the steal 'moose but it belongs here too.

This rock worshipper wants to see all those radical Christian, Jewish and Bhuddist terroists investigated too.

#3 There's also radical Atheist terrorist groups to be investigated... Although they're normally called left-wing groups.

#5 ...and I have actually gone to Congressman King and asked him to broaden the scope of the hearings.

This is the favorite Progressive diversion tactic. It's as predictive as it is simple.

First step is to expand any discussion by introducing seemingly related issues. Initially, this will help to avoid refuting the facts but more importantly it is the gateway to your opponents opinions. Now this next part is key. You must encourage your opponent to comment on those ancillary issues. This usually can be accomplished by making emotionally charged comments or asking loaded questions. Remember, the goal here is to illicit your opponents opinions - not any pesky facts. So if they go back to the facts sometimes a rude interuption, inane chatter, or talking loud will be neccessary. Also, you will need to somewhat anticipate thier opinions and prepare your attack based on irrational grounds. (Phobia, racism, crazy...you know the drill) Finally, question your opponent's intentions by insinuating there is an alterior motive. Wa-La...you've just avoided the original topic and questioned your opponent's credibility all at the same time. And all you we're doing was "broadening the scope" of the discussion. Give it a try? See if you can debate like a Progressive congressman. Who knows, maybe one day, you too, can even be a "journalist" - just like Lawerence .

#7 What the Mohammaden is afraid of is all of the discovery documents that will be made public if this series of hearings is completed - lots of single individual attacks that were thwarted and did not make the national news will come to light.
