Tom Campbell’s Problematic Ties to Radical Muslims
Nihad Awad, CAIR’s current executive director and a supporter of Hamas, donated $2,000 as well. Awad used to be part of the Islamic Association of Palestine before it was shut down for financing Hamas. He soon after participated in a secret meeting of Hamas members to discuss creating a new organization, and CAIR was born a year later. He is also listed as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Palestine Committee.” CAIR is currently designated by the government as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation, whose officials were found guilty of fundraising for Hamas.
To be fair, many politicians met with Alamoudi and Al-Arian. In fact, following the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration increased relations with many groups tied to the Muslim Brotherhood portraying themselves as moderates. This is a widespread, bipartisan problem, but that doesn’t mean such associations shouldn’t be brought up.
Campbell has also endorsed If Americans Knew, a non-profit group intensely opposed to Israel that calls for an end to American support of the Jewish state. The organization’s website includes an endorsement of its executive director, Alison Weir, by Campbell. It reads: “Ms. Weir presents a powerful, well documented view of the Middle East today. She is intelligent, careful, and critical. American policy makers would benefit greatly from hearing her first-hand observations and attempting to answer the questions she poses.”
As David Frum points out, Campbell has a history of pro-Israel statements, even going so far as saying he’d support the country if it took military action to stop Iran’s nuclear program. He is accused of voting to cut off aid to Israel, which is technically untrue. He voted against authorizing an additional $30 million in aid because it would be taken away from Africa, but he always supported increased military assistance. Campbell can defend himself against some of the accusations that he is against Israel, but he must be forced to answer for his endorsement of Weir.
Carly Fiorina, Campbell’s strongest opponent in the primary race, is now being accused by Assemblyman Chuck DeVore of allowing illegal technology to be transferred to Iran when she was the head of Hewlett-Packard. She denies this. National security is now the focus of the debate.
Campbell’s endorsement of Weir and his past associations with Islamic extremists must be addressed. He can point to the fact that many other politicians and officials have had ties to the same people and groups, but he must explain why he was unaware of their well-documented involvement in extremist causes. It must be asked why he did not return Alamoudi’s donations after others did when Alamoudi’s pro-terrorist comments were reported, and it must be asked why such characters supported him in the first place.
Dig deeper in the Country Club’s garden and you’ll find slime balls like this under every rock.
At least the Dem thugs and gangsters are above board.
So show us Hussein’s long form birth certificate, passport history and academic transcripts.
Middle East causes always seem to get a pass in CA cause of the fascination with screwing with Mexicans. I remember when “Rs” Darrell Issa and Ray LaHood (I believe they’re Maronite Christians) teed off on Israel and its defense of the 2006 missile attacks from Lebanon.
We must take a step back and think that maybe Boxer or Feinstein are calling these chits and trying to scare Jewish-Americans back to the Democrat farm.
Chuck DeVore is the real deal.
Me thinks there is a PATTERN to Campbell’s ties to terror leaders.
The case against supporting him should be closed, unless turning two blind eyes to Muslim radical associations is a prudent move, considering what electing Obama has wrought.
There is none so blind as those who refuse to see.
Well, he’s a shoe-in then. Radical terrorist friends are in vogue now. Look at the “president” for proof.
None of Campbell’s activities surprise me. As Dean of UC Berkeley’s Haas Business School, Campbell was only mirroring the thinking of academic elites: (1) any activity that is anti-Western and anti- Judeo-Christian culture is to be promoted, and (2) when an academic is attacked, circle the wagons… no matter how bizarre, misguided or evil that academic is. Campbell may be a “Republican” but he is not a conservative, and that’s why I won’t vote for him. He has all the earmarks of a good RINO.
“The Dems thugs and gangsters are above board.” Gee, that sure makes me feel better about living in a California that has been destroyed financially by the Dems thugs and union gangsters. Yep feel better now!!
This is a pretty good case for Campbell’s unsavory affinity, but I’d like to know why on earth he would feel this way. I fully expect such relationships between America-bashers and Democrats, but this seems out of character for someone who wants to be perceived as a conservative Republican. Anyway, my decision has just been made easier.
“Under the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, the INS is allowed to arrest, detain and deport non-citizens on the basis of ‘secret evidence’ – evidence whose source and substance is not revealed to those who are targeted or their counsel.” So, since 9/11, I believe no captured unlawful combatants fighting out of uniform or otherwise disguised as fifth column spies and terrorists have been executed. Yet during WW2 we could capture, try, and execute some German spies in three months in the USA. So much for an effective death penalty act. I noticed Campbell’s CA has a 70 percent recidivism rate for felons on normal parole supervision; because of budget cuts, CA is releasing twenty thousand felons on minimal supervision. Double digit unemployment, stagnating economy, rising taxes and production costs, looks like a crime wave in the making to me. Yeah, we need more IRS agents and politicians with graduate degrees.
Why not look at Chuck Devore’s record of Hebraic Philia (instead of fighting anti-semitism). Now that is a story which needs to be told.
Wow, a Jihadist Republican running for the Senate?
Only in California.
The good people of that state never cease to amaze me.
Next thing you know, the Democratic candidate out there will be a dues paying member of the teabag party..crazy place….ha…
Good Luck to them !
I wasn’t planning on voting for him anyway. He’s a RINO.
This will destroy Campbell if we takes on Boxer. Please support Chuck DeVore as the lone consistent conservative.

A supporter of Campbell has emailed me with the text of a press conference Campbell has held where he has admitted not checking the backgrounds of his campaign contributors thoroughly enough and that he would not have defended al-Arian if he knew about his statements. He may be genuine, but the question still remains as to why these characters saw him as an ally, and this failure to do research (particularly in the case of al-Arian and al-Amoudi) doesn’t give me the most confidence in him. I am tempted to believe that his courting of the Muslim vote took precedence over due dilligence.
His response to the endorsement of Weir is that it is based on one single presentation she gave that was not political. If that is the case, the campaign should request that the endorsement be removed from the website of If Americans Knew.
Campbell is a no good person and since time immemorial, has always been up to no good. I will not vote for him. He is toast.
He was unmasked at this critical stage of the game and was caught with his pants down. The way I look at him, he might as well be the twin brother of Patrick; the drooling, stupid sidekick of Sponge Bob.
So lets see what they are saying Campbells tenuous connections to a possible Jihadist are catastrophic and shoul mke him ineligible. But Obambis Muslim upbringing, 20 YEAR membership of a SHAM Christian, Black Supremacist anti American anti White Church run by a former member of the Nation of Islam Terrorist, his CLOSE Mohammedan and LEFT WING AMERICAN Terrorist Associates, CRIMINAL friends and COMMUNIST mentors and allies are completely OK and can be entirely ignored.
Mmmmm anyone else smell the STINK of overwhelming HYPOCRISY coming from DEMS and MOONBATS. (and yes I DO mean you PC)
You are correct #14. Chuck DeVore is the best candidate, but of course, all the repugnican bigwigs will be lining up for Carly Fiorina. The Repugnicans never choose the right candidate. They prefer to nominate the next go along get along RINO. Ther last classic example was choosing Schwarzen-kennedy over the much preferred fiscal conservative Tom MCClintock in the 2003 election after the ouster of Gray Davis. McClintock would have held the line on spending whereas Arnold gave in to the dems on everything imaginable…
Re: “So show us Hussein’s long form birth certificate, passport history and academic transcripts.
So show us George Bush’s long form birth certificate, passport history and academic transcripts.
So show us Clinton’s long form birth certificate, passport history and academic transcripts.
So show us Bush1’s long form birth certificate, passport history and academic transcripts.
So show us JFK’s long form birth certificate, passport history and academic transcripts.
So show us FDR’s long form birth certificate, passport history and academic transcripts.
Obama has shown the OFFICIAL birth certificate of Hawaii, the Certification of Live Birth. The fact that he was born in Hawaii was confirmed twice by the two top officials in the Department of Health of Hawaii, who are members of a Republican governor’s administration.
ellenbarrons: Everything you say is BS Bush’s records were open for scrutiny as were Clintons and did they spend money to HIDE them I think not. Obama on the other hand has spent MILLIONS of dollars HIDING his.
He has NOT produced a Birth Certificate he has produced a (fake) COLB which does not PROVE he was born in Hawaii at all and even if it WAS real merely confirms that someone PHONED in a Birth Report. His INDONESIAN step sister also has an Hawaii COLB as did Chairman MAO and she has never even been there.
Incidentally these are the Documents the BOGUS POTUS is still HIDING. So lets here you explanation for that.
Here apart from his Vault Birth Certificate are just some but my no means ALL of the OTHER documents and information the Obamanation is HIDING.
There is a lifetime of “missing” documentation — but it must a coincidence — it has to be a coincidence — just keep telling yourself, “it’s a coincidence.”
Obama/Dunham divorce — Released (by independent investigators) Soetoro/Dunham marriage license — Not released Soetoro adoption records — Not released Punahou School records — Not released Soetoro/Dunham divorce — Released (by independent investigators)
Soetero/Obama name change documentation – Not released Selective Service Registration — Released — Probable counterfeit Occidental College records — Not released and vigorously defended Passport records — Not released and official government passport files scrubbed clean by John O. Brennan — now Obama’s terrorism and intelligence czar
Just a coincidence???????????
Columbia College records — Not released Columbia thesis — “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament” — Not released Harvard College records — Not released Harvard Law Review articles — None Illinois Bar Records — Not released Baptism certificate — None Medical records — Not released (unless you count a one-pager from his personal physician saying Obama’s healthy)
Just a coincidence????????
Law practice client list — Not released University of Chicago scholarly articles — None Annenberg Challenge Board Minutes — None Illinois State Senate records — None Illinois State Senate schedule — Lost
Almost 50 years old and there’s no paper trail — coincidence, Would you hire someone with this curriculum vitae? The man is completely undocumented. You don’t know anything about Obama — operative word, KNOW. None of us really do because he and his life are undocumented — an impossible coincidence — and Obama fiercely defends the release of what documentation is available. Some of us believe that something isn’t on the level and that we are entitled as United States citizens to ask any damned politician who he is, what his politics are, what his agenda is, where he came from and who sent him. You do know Obama could end all of this with a single phone call — why doesn’t he press the button?
You say: “Everything you say is BS Bush’s records were open for scrutiny as were Clintons and did they spend money to HIDE them I think not. Obama on the other hand has spent MILLIONS of dollars HIDING his.”
Total baloney. Bush never showed his birth certificate, college grades (they were leaked by a source at Yale, but not shown by Bush). None of Bush’s college papers were shown, nor his grades in Business School, nor his passports. And the same for Clinton (who had good grades being a Rhodes Scholar). McCain’s grades were never shown, and the “birth certificate” that is on line is not his (He says he was born at the family hospital at the Naval base, but the published “certificate” says he was born at Colon Hospital). He never showed his birth certificate on line or to the Senate Committee. And neither he nor Bush nor any president showed his baptism certificate.
Like Obama, McCain blocked the lawsuits against him on the same grounds–lack of standing.
Since there was never a lawsuit against Obama just for the birth certificate or just for documents, Obama has not hidden anything. All the lawsuits were to reverse the course of the election. For example, all the lawsuits before the election — by far the majority of lawsuits and the greatest expense–were to stop the election. Naturally Obama fought this, and the money spent was from campaign funds.
After the election, the bulk of lawsuits were to stop the Electoral College from voting, the Congress from Certifying the election and to stop the Inauguration. There was never a lawsuit just for documents.
Re Obama’s college and grad school papers. There is no law that says that they have to be released. You ask: “Would you hire someone with that curriculum vitae?” The answer: 69 million to 59 million is that voters preferred Obama’s curriculum vitae to McCain’s.
In the next presidential election, if Candidate A shows more records than Candidate B, then you are certainly entitled to vote for Candidate A. But the next election will not be until 2012, and none of this affects Obama’s eligibility to be president.
He HAS shown the official birth certificate of Hawaii, and the facts on it that he was born in Hawaii in 1961, were confirmed twice by the officials in Hawaii.
It is truly sad to see how the Qur’an and the religion that Allah gave to Prophet Muhammad is misrepresented by the Muslims with their man made religion Islam. I hope the government of Britain and indeed all governments of the world will examine what the Qur’an really say’s about the religion revealed to Prophet Muhammad, and reject from this moment on any and all recognition of Islam as a legitimate religion. First, Allah says over and over in the Qur’an that his religion is Al-Hanifiyyah (The Upright Way), and Allah invites all people to follow Millata Abraham Haniifaa (The Religion of Abraham, The One Upright Way). It is a historical fact that the Khalifah Uthman changed Al-Hanifiyyah in the Qur’an to Al-Islam. (A fact that Muslims wish to keep hidden) I challenge any Arabic scholar to disapprove my statements concerning the religion of the Qur’an, or any historian to disprove my statements concerning the history during that period. There is no support in the Qur’an for the concepts put forward by the Muslim community, such as Jihad (Holy War), the Shariah (which in fact is condemned in the Qur’an), the Hadiths (which are in fact condemned in the Qur’an), and lastly the Qur’an says over and over again that the tribe of Muhammad and the people Arabia rejected the revelation called the Qur’an and rejected Prophet Muhammad. Allah also says in the Qur’an that the tribe of Prophet Muhammad and the people of Arabia were placed under the La’nah (Curses) for rejecting Allah’s message and messenger. This Islam is nothing more than Vedic Hinduism, the practices of the Id Al-Fitra and Id Al-Ada celebrations are traced directly to the Hinduism of Arabia before the revelation to Prophet Muhammad. These pagan practices are not mentioned, nor are they found in the Qur’an. The positions of prayer for Muslims is taken from Old Mishnah prayer practices, the five (5) times for praying, and the five (5) spots for ablution (washing before prayer) which are taken from Vedic Hinduism. Allah has described in detail in the Qur’an how to clean before prayer, how to pray, and what to say during prayer to him. The Muslims will argue you down, and say that Allah did not reveal how to pray in the Qur’an. The Muslims say this while Allah says in the Qur’an, Surah 6, Ayat 114, “Allah has revealed to you this book fully detailed, and Surah 16, Ayat 89, “We have revealed to you this book to provide explanations for everything, and lastly because Muslims are under the Curses, Surah 6, Ayat 38, “We did not leave anything out of this book”, so now Mr. and Ms. Islamist. The practice of intercalculating or alternating the months is an old Babylonian pagan practice, which is used to determine the time for Ramadan amongst Muslims; Allah has forbidden this practice in the Qur’an. The lies about Prophet Muhammad must stop and the religion that Allah sent him with must now come out, and be heard. Allah has not ordered any woman who believes in the Qur’an to wear Hijaab (covered up like a Ninja), nor to walk behind men, nor to pray behind men, nor has he ordered women not to pray on their monthly periods, nor has Allah ordered any woman to accept being beaten lightly or otherwise. Allah has not ordered anyone to turn in the direction of the Kaaba, nor to prostrate to the Black Stone in Mecca, nor to circumambulate the Kaaba which by the way is a Vedic Hindu practice. The Kaaba is the House of Shiva and the Black Stone is the Shiva Stone of the Vedic Hindu. It is a historical fact that Prophet Muhammad faced Jerusalem to offer prayers and he made pilgrimage to Jerusalem. It is a fact that the committee set up by Khalifah Uthman changed the Qur’an and added all these pagan traceable practices to the Qur’an. It is a fact that Prophet Muhammad was ordered in Surah 5, Ayat 43-45, to establish the Hukm Allah (Government of Allah) with the Tawraah (Torah). The Shariah is made up Islamic foolishness and nonsense. It is a fact that Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad in Surah 7, Ayat 144-145, to hold fast to the Tawraah (Torah), and Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad to order his people to hold the Tawraah (Torah) Beautifully. It is a fact that Allah ordered Prophet Muhammad to follow both books (Tawraah and Qur’an), Surah 28, Ayats 48-49, these Ayats specifically state that the people to whom Prophet Muhammad was sent rejected both books calling them, “to magic’s that back each other”. Our organization refutes all the lies against the Prophet Muhammad created by Muslims and their Islam. The Qur’an states over and over that Prophet Muhammad could read and write, and the Qur’an condemns all Hadiths, Surah Al-Jatheyah, Ayat 6, “These are Allah’s revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which Hadith other than Allah and His revelations do they believe? Woe to every fabricator guilty”. The Surah Al-Zumar, Ayat 23, “Allah has revealed herein the Best Hadith, a book that is consistent, and points out both ways”.
We in the New United Republic invite and challenge the Muslims to follow the Qur’an as ordered, to give up their disbelief (Islam), and to joyfully accept the religion Al-Hanifiyyah, Haniifaa. We challenge the government of Saudi Arabia to allow a team of experts to examine the Kaaba, outside and in and to report to the world on what they find. If you are interested in the religion of the Most High, please visit our web site, http://www.thenewunitedrepublic.com, we are willing to address any group about the religion of the Qur’an. Peacefulness be with you all!
