Because of redistricting, former state Rep. Adam Hasner is running for the 22nd Congressional District seat now held by Allen West in South Florida (who is running in District 18), and has been named an honorary chairman of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s national ‘Jewish Americans for Romney’ coalition.
ADAM HASNER FOR CONGRESS: WEBSITE
Allen West has endorsed Hasner for his old seat. Even better, the Leftists seem to hate Adam Hasner as much as they hate Allen West. From SALON, we are pleased to read, “Congress’s anti-Islam caucus will likely grow in November, and Florida’s Adam Hasner may be its worst new member.”
After redistricting made West’s 22nd Florida congressional district slightly more liberal, he moved to the 18th. Running in his place is Adam Hasner, the former Florida House majority leader. Hasner has already earned top-flight endorsers, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and West himself, as well as several major conservative organizations.
As the Florida Independent noted in September of last year, Hasner has been involved in a “long-time crusade against the threat of Sharia law in the U.S.” In 2009, he appeared on a panel in D.C. with Pamela Geller and Frank Gaffney, who both have endorsed Hasner. Robert Spencer, another key figure in the Islamophobia cottage industry, called Hasner a “fearless truth teller.”
Before that, Hasner invited notorious Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders to Florida. “When I invited Geert Wilders to join me for a Free Speech conference in Palm Beach County, not only did the hotel cancel its plans to have him come in, but I was the one who was asked by the Hamas front group, CAIR, the Council on Anti-American Islamic Relations, to resign from the Florida House of Representatives, because I was an Islamophobe and a hater,” he said in the Fort Lauderdale speech. Wilders has made crusading against Islam his top priority.
When Hasner caught flak for the invitation, he was unperturbed. “These are the same people who have been attacking me all session. This isn’t about being anti-Islam, this is all about the right to free speech and they are trying to stifle it,” he casually told the St. Petersburg Times in April 2009. Wilders personally thanked Hasner in his speech, saying, “We need strong leaders like we have here today, Allen West and Adam Hasner. We need strong men like that.”
Within just a few days of the Wilders speech, it was an event that Hasner did not attend that raised eyebrows. He boycotted an imam’s opening prayers at the state Legislature.
In 2008, Hasner helped found an anti-Shariah group called Florida Security Council with an activist named Tom Trento. While Hasner was never an official member, he touted his involvement with the organization, which later changed its name to the United West. “You cannot fight an enemy when you will not acknowledge that an enemy even exists, and that enemy has a name, and that is Shariah-compliant Islam,” Hasner told a local conservative group in March of last year. “We cannot allow political correctness and multiculturalism or appeasement to cripple our defenses at home or abroad.”
Nezar Hamze, South Florida executive director of CAIR, who was cut down to size by Allen West at a Town Hall meeting last year, gives his opinion of Hasner and West.
They lie very convincingly, don’t they? Couldn’t determine his ethnicity, but he blends in with the rest of us, appearing very innocent. No accent. Clean cut. Careful not to slam West. He appears trustworthy to the gullible. Of course, that’s why he was chosen for his position.
We have a huge mountain to climb.
My above post was about the Florida CAIR Executive Director, not Hasner.
I thought so.
Barbara, I assume you’re talking about Hamze of CAIR? He is American-born.
Barbara, You’re so right. Also he (and every other muslim I have heard) either denies or talks around the duty (not just the right, but the duty) of all muslims to lie to Kafirs in order to advance the cause of islam. The islam prophet was by any standards (other than islam) a pedophile, but they will tell you that it is allowed in the koran to “marry” VERY young girls, with all that that implies. What does that say about them?
Interestingly, the cair spokesman said “..he’s been a muslim all his life and he doesn’t understand quite a bit”, (about islam).
He needs to carefully listen to Allen West, etc. to get an update.
Barbara, what you said about appearing trustworthy to the gullible reminds me of the chiding I received from BNI when I expressed the notion that a “sweet old lady” on a PBS telecast interviewing a CAIR offiicial seemed fair minded. BNI pointed out that she was a liberal working the audience with the CAIR guy.
I know not to trust anyone connected with an Islamic supremacist organization and most MSM talking heads, but that “sweet old lady” threw me a curve ball.
Don’t want to get off topic but I saw a video where the Muslim that was leading a group of young Filipinos in the shahada looked American and had a Midwestern accent. That man also had a very kind and pleasant demeanor. No wonder it is hard to get our state legislators to pass anti-sharia legislation.
Nice to see some American Members with enough Whevos, taking a stance against Islam.
GOD BLESS YOU!
Hasner would be a great addition to the US House. The more actual conservatives we get in there, the more of a voice the counter-jihad movement will have. I hope to see him bitch-slapping Abedin all over the place just as that poor excuse for an American deserves. Also, glad to see Gingrich defending Bachmann in the Abedin queries. He knows who the enemy is and he’d be a good pick for sec of state. Just imagine him telling all those Palestinians that they are indeed a made-up people. After all, primary hatchets can be buried easily. Look at Haji Hilary and Obozo.
Amen! Well said.
Wow!!! West and Hasner, what great guys. What I cannot understand is why CAIR is still allowed to function, being unindicted — why hasn’t it been indicted?? and disbanded and all the criminal members sent to prison, or better still to paradise? Why is this illegal band still functioning?
Sarastro, good question. I’d love to blame Obama, but GW Bush didn’t kick them out either when he should have after 9/11.
BIG DIFFERENCE IS BUSH WASN’T ONE OF THEM.
Because of the Arab Oil $$$ they invest in both sides of politics.
” what I cannot understand is why CAIR is still allowed to function, being unindicted-why hasn’t it been indicted??” good question and the answer ly’s directly at the door steps of the DOJ, it was either last year or maybe, the one before, that I witnessed eric “the red” holder tell a Senate Terrorism/sub-comittee, “there was no evidence that warrented an extended investigation any further into the activities of CAIR, therefore we have not acted upon this as such” Yeah that’s correct, notice “there was no evidence” that warrented an extended investigation!
SO if you think the DOJ, under protection of the obama’s nin ly’n taqiya style and defense of one of his favored victims class of subverts, is going to further any investigation into the very people he is covering for, and do something about the indictments handed down by a Federal Judge, forgetaboutit, it ain’t gonna happen. People of the same feather comes immediately in mind. I hope that answered your question. Semper FI.
Good to see. More blokes like this are needed to replace those useless old RINO’s.
I hope this guy wins. It would be a sign that some of Fla. has grown a brain after their moronic display of “REVOTE” signs after Al Gropes defeat in 2000.
A very enlightening article. Thanks BNI
As this is one of my old stopm’n grounds I am fimilliar with this area, and you can bet, this candidate will have all the support he needs/requires to punch the hole needed in bringing CAIR to account for their subversive nature. It is not enough these days to lay claims, one has to prove/ substenciate in the actions, the means and direct involvement of subverts of our Constitutional Laws. It is a good thing Col. A. West approves of his message. Another fighter for the truth and honor sorely needed in these times. Good luck and stay strong Mr. Hasnar.
Semper Fi
Any politician endorsed by Wilders must be alright.
Also, you can judge this man by his enemies: CAIR and the Leftards are quaking.
In the past, I have corresponded with Adam Hasner. Wow, here is a politician that really, really GETS IT about Islam! I wish I lived in the 22nd or the 18th so I could vote for Hasner or West, but I will contribute to both. I live in the 8th, and although my guy is (R), he’s kind of a dud, and hasn’t said anything about Islam or anything else. At least he’s not Alan Grayson.
Hasner, Wilders, and West = What politicians should be!! But unfortunately most politicians, whatever their “party affiliiation” are a d— sight more concerned about political correctness , and are soooooo concerned they might offend someone that they forget they are supposed to be “public servants” NOT —-ing elitist rulers who know better than us ‘peasants’ what is good for the genearal populace!!………..
