Pelosi in a Hijab
littlegreenfootballs.com — The modern Democratic leadership. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, wears a scarf inside Ommayad Mosque during her tour at a popular market in downtown Damascus, Syria, Tuesday April 3, 2007. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Syria on Tuesday, the highest-ranking...

- cozmos, on 10/12/2007, -11/+49It's official!!! The democrats are officially DHIMMI's!!! AKA Second class citizens around the world. Wearing the Hijab proves your submissiveness... I wonder if they will even shake her hand,

Showing respect for the religion of a country while on a diplomatic mission is hardly an outrage. - DrinkingNyquil, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9Oh, look, Laura Bush in visiting the Muslim holy shrine the Dome of the Rock!

Looks like Laura was the original good dhimmi, according to the twisted logic of the posts here.
EDIT: robelanator beat me to it. - robelanator, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Looks like Condi did it, too:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/4/4/115721/7509 - robdouth, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I keep reading from lefties about the Republicans that went to Syria as well. Of course they should be condemned, but can you even name them off the top of your head without looking them up? Didn't think so. They are nobodies who were trying to get a little publicity by going against the party line. However, they aren't in important leadership roles. They should be condemned of course, but they have no authority, whereas Pelosi gives the illusion of authority and therefore is much more problematic compared to a handful of small-time Republicans.
- Glynth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Pelosi wearing the hijab isn't the real issue. You'll notice - well, I guess you won't - anyway... I did not digg up the hijab-gabbers above this post. That's not the real issue. THIS is:
Syrian Reformists: The Damage from Pelosi's Visit Will Be Felt for Years
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=25014 - DrinkingNyquil, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Oh gives us a break. If Pelosi didn't wear it, you guys would be complaining too.
The truth is, not one of you cared when Condi Rice wore a hijab:
http://www.mahablog.com/wp-content/uploads/condihijab.jpg
You weren't crying out about how the Secretary of State's wearing one was setting back rights for women for years to come, were you? And you won't do it now either. Because It's Ok If You Are A Republican.
You didn't say anything when Laura Bush wore one either, the FIRST LADY
http://www.mahablog.com/wp-content/uploads/scarf6.jpg
But a Democratic leader of the House dons one, and out come the knives and the comments. It's laughable. - Glynth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Oh please" nothing. I told you exactly my position. Pelosi is undermining not just this administration, but efforts to stop a TERRORIST-FUNDING REGIME. And the Syrian reformers know it.

- Novalaw, on 10/12/2007, -6/+43I hate to say it, but a hijab looks quite appropriate for Ms. Pelosi. She wants to be a good dhimmi, after all.
- kevinmumaw, on 10/12/2007, -6/+37The hijab highlights the deer-in-the-headlights look she is famous for.

- 0star, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34"uggh LGF plz go away"
That seems to be the left's solution to everything that disturbs them.
If we are nice to the Islamic terrorists, they will go away.
If we give North Korea what they want, the problem will go away.
If we let Iran have a nuclear bomb, the war they have been fighting against us for 30 years will go away.
And they call themselves "reality-based".
It would be funny if it weren't sad - and deadly dangerous. - ssamyrabka, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24@ugggg, why not make an anti-western, anti-free speech (oxymoron), anti-democratic, anti-free, anti-LGF website that pokes fun at the hypocrisy, radicalism, moronic, idiotic, laughable, undeveloped, and irrational WESTERN influences, be sure to include lots of Anti-Israeli photo's and jokes while your at it.

When Muslim women come in the US, do they wear bikinis? In deference to OUR cultural sensitivities?- appleann1, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32stevebee, the answer, of course is no. Just as we don't make the prisoners in Gitmo wear crosses or the Star of David as opposed to the female British soldier made to cover her head.
tinman, Bush rightly criticized Pelosi because she is in a leadership position, the sheep wouldn't have followed if she hadn't led.
I think the Republicans that went are also a disgrace. But if you check out who they are, it's not surprising.

This picture speaks a thousand words to anyone who thinks that the Democrats have any credibility on thew war on terror or that they have sense of what it is about.
The democrats have done nothing but undermine this country at every step of the way.
This person is a embarrassment.
I hope that she personally has to pay a price for the road she is trying to take this country down.
I feel nothing but contempt and revulsion at her and any person who believes as she does.
I am not fond of most Republicans , but the democrats are the most pathetic,and ill prepared to lead this country in any direction other than to it's utter destruction.
They are truly going to be the party that enables are enemies to destroy our civilization , unless they are defeated in the next election.
Shame on her and her family and her political party.
I am truly saddened by her and her ideology, Democrats have to be stopped.- TinMan, on 10/12/2007, -36/+9Umm dude, the GOP were in Syria the day before Pelosi was.
- TinMan, on 10/12/2007, -17/+12Greg Sargent notes that the New York Times won’t even report Bush’s acknowledgment that Republican House members visited Syria. “Instead, the paper only reports Bush’s criticism of Pelosi’s trip.
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/03/the-gop-syria-trip-that-must-not-be-named/ - Dewhead, on 10/12/2007, -6/+35The republicans who went are just as bad as she is. I am more upset at her because her agenda is all about undermining the President. Does anyone really believe that she is over there to help Bush or America? Hell no. She is an evil person.
- Verchiel77, on 10/12/2007, -25/+6And exactly what sort of "personal price" are you hoping she pays, Kaiser? If it was simply being defeated for re-election, I think that would've been easy enough to state directly. Would you care to elaborate?
And with only 35% of the electorate self-identifying as Republican, good luck with that whole "they must be stopped" thing. http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-pew23mar23,0,6446641.story?coll=la-headlines-politics - robelanator, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6Laura Bush did the same thing...
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/05/images/20050522-4_p44900-527-515h.html - DaMav, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Laura Bush didn't go to Syria and put on a hijab to show submission before one of the world's terrorist leaders. If you can't see the difference between that and what Pelosi did, you must be one of the Nancy Boys in the Democrat Party.
- TinMan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2@damav
But the THREE GOP delegates where there a day before Pelosi. What do you call that?
- kevinmumaw, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31She looks quite subservient.
- onyxraven1979, on 10/12/2007, -7/+30That'll show 'em we mean business!!
Women must be so proud of her, showing how subservient she is. - kaiser44, on 10/12/2007, -24/+13@ tinman as you read I am not fond of republicans either, ***** them to.
This ***** is bigger than the 2 ***** parties, so in case you think my rant is one sided, ***** them and their offspring.- CaptainNoPants, on 10/12/2007, -24/+3lol, see how you had their support up until they found out you weren't one of them?
- Glynth, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9You expect us to NOT digg down this incendiary comment? Many of us are not Republicans, but someone who'd digg this hateful bile up is not someone worth listening to.
" See?! OMG! They buried the person who said 'F YOU AND ALL YOUR CHILDREN!' " Wow, what a surprise. Vulgar bile not worth reading, whether the guy calls himself conservative or not.
I appreciate the sentiment - I won't follow the Republican politicians off the cliff they seem so eager to go to (though the Democrats are racing even faster toward it) - but "F you" is just wrong... and "F your offspring?" Something's wrong with you, Kaiser.
- CaptainNoPants, on 10/12/2007, -24/+3lol, see how you had their support up until they found out you weren't one of them?

- Nijenna, on 10/12/2007, -5/+30AND what is the point of her wearing a scarf?
By showing respect to THESE kind of MEN is Pelosi saying she understands she is nothing but a piece of meat to these backward assed caveMEN, and is just protecting them from losing their sexual control if they saw her HAIR uncovered?
She IS pathetic and so are ANY other WESTERN women who bows and submits to these religious freaks or any other religion that makes a women COVER her hair out of FEAR of inflaming a man's LUST.- ssamyrabka, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20Gosh.... Well spoken! Strongly agree.... your passions are so strongly worded, I wonder if you were ever FORCED to wear one of these backassward HAIR COVERING, so as not to inflame a man's lust?
- radishthegreat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15I can't imagine anyone becoming inflamed with lust at the sight of Nancy.

- guillermox, on 10/12/2007, -31/+5Right, the Democrats have no credibility on the war on terror.
But don't act as though the Republicans have any credibility either...starting wars with people who had nothing to do with 9-11, sidelining Arab seculars in favor of Wahhabist types...proclaimin the RoP is actually a Religion of Peace, ad nauseum.- NoamSayin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Abu Abass, Abu Nidal, Abdul Rahman Yasin.
Why don't you go google these terrorists and see what they have in common? - Glynth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10"starting wars with people who had nothing to do with 9-11"
That line needs to die. Who said Saddam had anything to do with 9/11? Pres. Bush repeatedly said otherwise, yet liberals keep pretending otherwise so they can support their "Bush lied" mantra. Get That Through Your Head. (I realize you may not be the typical Leftist, but you've bought at LEAST that line and need to give it up already.) And also know this: It may come as a surprise to you, but not all tyrannical organizations that deserve to be toppled had a direct hand in 9/11. Notice how it's the war against TERROR? Also notice that Saddam directly funded SUICIDE BOMBERS in Palestine? Or are you going to dispute that even though it's extremely well established (by nonpartisans, no less)?
- NoamSayin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Abu Abass, Abu Nidal, Abdul Rahman Yasin.
- Varchild, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Wow.... @Guillermox

- WildcatClan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I just don't think there is any danger of Nan inflaming anyones lust in Syria. So she can retire her scarf without fear as long as there is at least one reasonably attractive goat in the vicinity.
- CronoTrigger, on 10/12/2007, -20/+3I thought the Democrats were just another political party just left of the Republicans, but then.... Well, you all saw the pics, she is obviously in a middle eastern country and showing common courtesy towards another belief system by wearing a head scarf while visiting a mosque. This is unbelievably huge, and undeniable proof that the dems hate America, and are masquerading as social liberals while really opening the door for terrorist atrocities in the US, or is being for social spending actually the same as being a terrorist?! I feel like my head is going to explode, LGF has finally shown me the light.

- ladycatnip, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10jkenda,
Actually, this pic could go for miles in the upcoming election.
I find it offensive for an elected rep to be wearing an islamic hijab. This picture marks the death of feminism; I'm sure Pelosi championed women's rights 30-40 years ago but now willingly wears the garb of the most oppressed women in the world. Unbelievable. - Verchiel77, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6What about the propaganda value of this, jkenda?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/05/images/20050522-4_p44900-527-515h.html - jkenda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Lady catnip,
I certainly hope so. - jkenda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Verchiel77: There's an enormous difference between honoring religious customs inside the Dome of the Rock, one of the major holy places in the world, and wearing a hijab in the market in downtown Damascus.
- ladycatnip, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10jkenda,
- BenZacharia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I hope she would wear a scarf when she goes to a Shul too. This is a non-starter, except for the reason she is there in the first place, ie same as jane goes to Hanoi.
- elisa72, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I find the hijab offensive. I respect the right of women to voluntarily wear it, but, as a non-Muslim, I would never wear a garment that so often is worn under coercion as a symbol of subjugation. I also will not wear any symbol of any religion other than my own. If I were in Pelosi's shoes I would decline to visit the mosque if it required wearing a hijab to avoid offense. If my hosts couldn't manage to respect MY beliefs in that regard it would be very telling.
- Insightful, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Why don't you show your conviction by not wearing one when you go to the Middle East then?
Oh yeah, I forgot, your conviction only stands when you are safe in your home as the 101st keyboard brigade.

- caponumen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I'd hit it.
Full Burqua that is... - Catholicschool, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2I wore a "Hijab" (head covering) to my Italian Catholic school on the East Coast USA every Wednesday, which was Mass day. The rest of the school week, I wore a uniform. Nancy Pelosi, having also been raised an Italian Catholic, I'm sure feels very comfortable with her head covered. It would behoove the Bible Belt trash in America to obtain some morals. We know you are undereducated and underpaid but that's no reason to have an affair with your neighbor's spouse for entertainment -- just because your Pastor also does so.
- araminta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Why ruin a perfectly good point about head coverings with accusations of bible belt trash and infidelity? All you manged to do was get yourself dugg down instead of perhaps making a point. I don't happen to believe that is why she wore the scarf. I believe she wore it for the reason others have listed. To be 'courteous' to a country that would see her beheaded before letting her serve in the capacity she does in this country. But whatever, that's her choice.

- kaiser44, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2@CATHOLIC SCHOOL, Should we in the same week as this call you a unrepentant person who willfully carries on the tradition of pedophilia in the name of you're religion.
A religion, from the soon to be sainted last pope who knowingly let pedophile priests work and transfer parishes when they were discovered to be predators.Should we also assume that one of the richest religions on the face of the earth, i believe it has the most money and one of the largest landowners, in the world to be anything less than hiding behind Jesus Christ to let the world know how terrible it is that so many live in poverty, when the people in the Vatican take a vow of poverty, and live like self appointed princess and care very little for the small parishes throughout theworld who struggle to make ends meet.
The people who make a small donation who truly should be using it on the family at home, so those fat pompous men of god can live a truly pathetic life.

John Edwards, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore... and all the rest of the lefties who claim to speak on behalf of the poor while flaunting great personal wealth. Except in the Pope's case, the wealth isn't personal. Oh, and his admonition is for people to VOLUNTARILY give up their riches. The liberals want to use state power to forcibly seize our money. That's two big differences right there.

I am in no way even close to a communist, I believe in free markets , I believe in capitalism .I also believe that the human being is allowed to follow his or her dreams to the highest potential with very little government involvement.
I beliieve the politicians you refer to are shameless and vapid and would not defend them or the actions they take in any way, I believe these people are hypocritical in there public and personal lives as well.
I believe the Catholic church is corrupt and I also believe they use some of the same sad tactics that democrats use to get what they want.

I just want you to understand that ass cracks like Tinman and Verchief will never get it.They do not want to get but they will one day when there ass hacked up by the ROP. They throw up the fact that a coup of RINO's went we know there as bad as Pelosi. They will never understand the words of the opposition that has stated that the dumb slug has set there efforts back by years. They just Like it because these slugs hate and want to kill more Jews and Americans and this dumb twit is over there trying to speak for Israel to. Don't you know they love that talking to that bloody murder. - bluestarchron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The most powerful woman in America submits to a regime that is openly hostile towards America. The inappropriateness of her trip just goes on and on.
I noticed the network news didn't have anything to say about her speaking for Israel and misrepresenting what Olmert had said to her. I noticed the network news omitted her many blunders while there. Her people have been spending a lot of time doing spin control, which is pointless cause the news isn't covering all the damage she did.
