With his connections to anti-American regimes (Islamic and Communist) and his extreme views, Charles Freeman was an inexplicably horrible, dangerous pick for the National Intelligence Council.Yet Barack Obama, most Democrats and their lackeys in the MSM refused to even criticize Freeman, let alone move to get his nomination dropped.
But as more and more came out about his past -- and more and more heat was generated by Republicans and even a few Dems like Chuck Schumer of New York -- somebody finally got the message and "persuaded" Freeman to get off the stage.
Chalk up yet another bonehead choice by Team Obama.
But, not surprisingly, Freeman had to shove his foot in his mouth one more time before he went, blaming his withdrawal on the friends of Israel.
“The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth.”
So far, no statement from the President.
