MUST READ – Andrew McCarthy’s takedown of Sen. John McCain

by: The Right Scoop 

Now that I have the headlines section I rarely create a post just to tell you to read an article, but Andrew McCarthy knocks this one out of the park today in his article entitled Questions about Huma Abedin. Not only does McCarthy justify the questions raised by 5 Republicans about our newfound policy shift toward the Muslim Brotherhood as well as Huma Abedin’s potential divided loyalties, he also explains why “Senator straight talk” is incredibly wrong and hypocritical for attacking these 5 Republicans who have asked for a very appropriate inquiry into these matters.

Der Spiegel pointed out the obvious: “A certain role of the Muslim Brotherhood in the transition process [to ‘democracy’] in Egypt seems acceptable to the Obama White House.” It was early February 2011, the moment when the uprising that would oust Hosni Mubarak was bubbling over in Tahrir Square. The prominent German newsmagazine figured, who better to ask about the Muslim Brotherhood than the American political establishment’s resident foreign-policy genius, John McCain?

So, the reporter asked him, does Obama’s tolerance of the Muslim Brotherhood “concern you”?
Senator Maverick shot back without hesitation: “It concerns me so much that I am unalterably opposed to it. I think it would be a mistake of historic proportions.”
Senator McCain elaborated that he was “deeply, deeply concerned that this whole movement [toward democracy] could be hijacked by radical Islamic extremists.” And what, he was specifically asked, “is your assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood”? McCain pulled no punches:

I think they are a radical group that, first of all, supports sharia law; that in itself is anti-democratic — at least as far as women are concerned. They have been involved with other terrorist organizations and I believe that they should be specifically excluded from any tra nsition government.
