Angry man with middle eastern heritage..explosives training..unregisterd gun conviction

Seen by some, as being unhinged for his propensity to carry on vindictive tirades, followed by crying jags.

This man has had more than a few run-ins with the law, including a grand jury indictment for a felony. He has also been connected to arson

His middle eastern ties are to a nation that is awash with Hezzbollah

He has "taken over" a house of representatives committee, and is holding "hostages"..

This man is armed, dangerous , and weepy..

He is this guy

If he were not a republican, he might be in deep doo-doo..

..................................................................

see how reciting facts can be tweaked? It's how the current media operates.. It;s how Benghazzzzzzzzzzi became a household word ..

I can't stand Issa, either, but really, attacking heritage? Two of my grandparents immigrated from Lebanon in 1910 and 1914. What does his heritage have to do with his assholiness? BTW, my Lebanese grandparents were Maronites (Catholic Christians who recognize the Roman Pope).

would have played it IF Issa were a Democrat! (Note the way they've treated the Pres.'s heritage.)

I did not take the post as slandering Lebanese.

I remember reading an expose about Issa that describes the shenanigans of his past as the results of his relationship with members of organized crime families and arms dealers.
Issa is known to have been involved in a ring of auto thiefs, linked to criminal conversion schemes that helped him to steal a business from it's rightful owner and he is known to have been suspiciously involved in an arson attack on the business he "ran" in order to claim insurance money.
How much of his criminal behavior can be linked to his debt to members of organized crime for starting his political carreer?
