Debbie -- your so-called evidence is not irrefutable , fact-based, but very circumstantial. I realize the plight of Israel is very important to you but if you would simmer down and consider this -- try to imagine if this were your father, or your favorite uncle or your favorite grandfather. So far you have managed only to call names. I'll admit that Alarian is a nasty--you have that evidence locked in. But accepting contributions is not in itself incriminating especially since he said he gave it to charity--if the source is THAT unstable then giving to charity is the best way to deal with it. I would give Henry Hyde the benefit of doubt, no problem. The man was a true patriot; he was honorable in all his day-to-day dealings with people. Debbie, if in your wildest imagination, if you think you would give the benefit of doubt to your favorite grandfather, your should concede to Henry Hyde that much. He is no longer able to defend himself, but his friends' testimonies -- a la NRO "Online Symposium" -- is quite compelling. As was his life. Peace. [HEY, HENRY HYDE'S SON (OR EXTRA-MARITAL GIRLFRIEND): WHAT IS "CIRCUMSTANTIAL" ABOUT "HE TOOK MONEY FROM SAMI AL-ARIAN," "INVITED MRS. AL-ARIAN TO TESTIFY," "OPPOSED ANTI-TERRORIST LEGISLATION ON BEHALF OF THE AL-ARIANS"? YOU HAVE YET TO PRODUCE A SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE REFUTING ANYTHING I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT YOUR CORPULENT, DEAD, TRAITOR HERO. IF THIS IS A PATRIOT, SO IS AL-ARIAN, AND SO WAS YASSER ARAFAT, WHOSE COMPATRIOTS OVER HERE HYDE LIONIZED. HE NEVER COULD DEFEND HIMSELF ON THIS WHEN HE WAS ALIVE. I WILL NOT FORGET ABOUT IT, NOW THAT HE IS DEAD. WHICH PART OF STEALING ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE (WHILE HE, TOO, WAS MARRIED) AND BREAKING UP A FAMILY WAS "HONORABLE"? HENRY HYDE WASN'T FIT TO LICK THE DIRT OFF MY GRANDFATHER'S HEELS. GIVING THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT TO A TERRORIST-ENABLER JUST 'CUZ HE WAS A "CONSERVATIVE"--A NEW DEFINITION OF IDIOCY. HELEN KELLER HAD NOTHING ON YOU. DS]

“Although I’m no fan of the Israeli fence creeping into the better farmland of the West Bank (part of it is an obvious land grab), ”
How does one grab ones own land?
Hyde sucked!

Excellent work, Debbie!
Obviously, bribery is alive and well.
Money talks, and Hyde was willing to sell out his own country!

A little OT, but my favorite memory of Hyde was the Clinton impeachment hearings. Taking the indignant moral highground against the great adulterer. Ha! When this guy himself was phliandering for years, destroying A FAMILY, THEN PREACHING FAMILY VALUES. What a punk.
Although I’m no fan of the Israeli fence creeping into the better farmland of the West Bank (part of it is an obvious land grab), they can and should do whatever the hell they want with their own (1967) borders to ensure their security. Hyde was a panderer, philanderer and…is there another word that rhymes. He sold out our national security interests, and that of our ally Israel’s, for a few votes and some bucks. Weasel, always was and will be remembered as such.

TallT,
This has nothing to do with liberals. Hyde was a conservative icon and is staunchly defended by pro-life conservatives. I can’t recall a post by HeyJay before, but from this one post here I’d guess HeyJay is probably more a very pro-life conservative than a “feathers-for-brains Liberal”.

Obviously to Hey Jay, the bird is the word.
This feathers-for-brains Liberal would no doubt defend Robert Byrd as well as he struggles to find substance for his simplistic blame and hatred.

HeyJay–
Sorry to burst the bubble, but Hyde’s tendency to ALWAYS line up against Israel is well known–
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1153292058671&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
At some point, he found that this posture was a good way to raise money…
He may really have been pro-life, it doesn’t matter. His main concern and the concern of ALL the officeholders, at least 95% of whom are complete scum—and that means on both sides–are most concerned about staying in power period.
Did he whore himself out to the AY-RABS? Absolutely no doubt.
He probably did not hate Jews, but he surely hung out with people who did…
Not sure how a real Catholic could draw that much succor from Muslims, either.

Debbie -- you are wrong about Henry Hyde .... and instead of publishing rumor, calumny or innuendo, how about offering some actual EVIDENCE?? Because you do not have it? [HJ: UM, WHICH PART OF "HE TOOK CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM SAMI AL-ARIAN" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR ON THAT? DO YOU THINK I'D JUST MAKE IT UP? LOOK IT UP. DITTO FOR HIS OBJECTIONS TO THE SHOWING OF "JIHAD IN AMERICA" AND HIS HEARINGS AND GUSHING OVER THE AL-ARIANS AND HIS OPPOSITION TO THE SECRET EVIDENCE LAWS. LOOK THEM UP. THEY ARE ALL DOCUMENTED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. THAT IS THE EVIDENCE, AND I'VE PROVIDED PLENTY. YOU'VE PROVIDED NONE TO REFUTE ME. BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU ARE FULL OF IT AND I AM RIGHT ON THE MONEY AND YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH. NONE OF WHAT I'VE WRITTEN IS RUMOR, INNUENDO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. I DEAL IN FACTS. YOU CAN'T EVEN POST UNDER YOUR REAL NAME. COWARD. DS]

That corona who is posting at Michelle Malkin’s site sounds like a real Buchananite loser.

Robert Novak, that execrable anti Semitic piece of dreck, used to praise Hyde because Hyde would condemn the Israeli security fence on the spurious grounds that it was harming Christians in the West Bank. The fact is that Islam fascism was harming Christians in the West Bank. I hated Henry Hyde and refuse to mourn his passing. He was a phony and an anti Semite. That security fence has saved thousands of Jewish lives.
