Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, March 07, 2013

Samuel Tadros, Weekly Standard: On Friday, Michelle Obama will join John Kerry at a special ceremony at the State Department to present ten women the Secretary of State's International Women of Courage Award. The award, says the press release, is given to "women around the globe who have shown exceptional courage and leadership in advocating for women's rights and empowerment, often at great personal risk." Five of these awards are being given to women from Muslim-majority countries, underscoring the unique plight of women in those countries. The only problem is that one of the women to be recognized is an anti-Semite and supports the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

Samira Ibrahim, as the State Department's profile describes her, "was among seven women subjected by the Egyptian military to forced virginity tests in March 2011." The press release further notes that Samira "was arrested while in high school for writing a paper that criticized Arab leaders' insincere support to the Palestinian cause." Apparently, the State Department is unaware of her other convictions.

So from the article, you can deduce that she's pro-Hitler, pro-9/11 and an insultingly obvious liar when faced with even minor consequences of such stances.

So not only is she a racist who wants us all dead, but she's a backtracking coward as well. But she's being honored for courageousness.

Only in America!

"On July 18 of last year, after five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver were killed a suicide bombing attack, Ibrahim jubilantly tweeted: "An explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news."

"Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning."

Speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin today, would-be First Lady Michelle Obama said, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback."

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised.

As they give out the awards, shake their hands, whatever else they will do to honor them; as they get to Ibrahim, they should simply drop the award on the floor at her feet and move on.

But, that won't happen. Shamful that this person was recommended for this award in the first place.

Either the State Dept knows of her views and doesn't care or they are completely incompetent morons. Perhaps both??

Take a look at the actions of the State Department (and the WH) over the last couple of years and you have your answer.
Rumor has it they're also going to send Kerry, Rodman and Jimmah Cahtah to talk Kim out of nuking us. Those folks are all great statesmen and admirers of the U.S. and friends of Kim. Peace in our day, hooray....

The Weekly Standard is a neocon far right publication published by Newscorp and known to "report" item later found to be not true. So I would hold judgement on anything cut and pasted from them.

This is just a reflection of michelle and the obama administration and how they view things and it isn't according to the American people.

Just give the award to some Israeli suck-up and be done with it.

State is holding off her award, pending investigation of her claim that her Twitter account was hackeed. As for her being an anti-semite, she's no worse than conservative heroes like Henry Ford or Dick Nixon.

And they are not giving any awards to Nixon or Ford. Worst deflection and that's saying somethin around here.

#18 That sounds like yet another Deflection.

I was providing in kind retort, you were just providing the only retort you had on the other thread.... where you both seem to have sustained posterior injury.

.... To Clue Challenged Author Tadros: If you're a Semite,to be Anti Semetic means you're against Yourself!

**** Samira Ibrahim actually is a "Semite" and she's part of the Semetic Arab Peoples of the Middle East...whereas the Russian,European and American Jews who illegally occupy Israel are NOT Semites and so cannot be the subject or victims of Anti Semitism!!

People can change their minds.

Hell, just look and Rand Paul. He is now against drones after being for drones ---- based simply on political winds and whimsy.
And just like Fred Thompson is now out hocking government backed loans after authoring a Heritage Foundation piece warning against it.

"Paul was sworn in on January 5, 2011..."

Chief literally just makes his arguments up.
