Well it's on Fox now, so the MSM does have hold of it.

Kootr, let a grateful black man repay one of my Euro-American brothers for the wonderful education that I received in America by helping you with your reading and reporting skills.

Your headline should read;

"FBI Raids Office of Chief Technology Officer.

The office isn't the office of an Obama appointee and hasn't been since Feb. But that is just a reading comprehension problem.

The real problem is that the story as reported by your source is wildly inaccurate. I suggest always waiting for a credible source before trying to rush to be the firstest with the leastest.

Sorry, but your complaint should be with the agency that wrote and titled the article...not with me!

So do you think it's a good idea to have a person of middle eastern descent, an employee of the FBI?

Racial bias, blah, blah, blah.

We're talking 9/11, middle eastern terror groups, bombings galore-do I have to go on?

Call me racially biased then. But, yes, I do have a problem with a Yusuf Acar being a part of the FBI.

(bracing now....)

Plagarism is no excuse, especially since you didn't credit the source.

Kootr, why do you always try to use that dodge when you get proven to be absolutely wrong about something? "It's not my fault, I just copy/altered the original."

Man up dude, take responsibility for your actions.

This is the part where we're flooded with criminal activity in such great numbers we actually lose track of stories and people (the main one I think being conveniently lost is Burris and Chicago). Someone should make a running list...

Geithner, Burris, Burris the II , Daschle, Killefer, Rangel, Solis... have I missed any? (besides Rezko)

Didn't credit the source! Hell, I hyper-linked the source on the first page! Here it is: FBI Raids Office of Chief Technology Officer, Obama Appointee!

Kootr in a way you are correct. But here is the problem. Folks are in such an uproar, that they are jumping on everything quick. This is the problem with the stock market. There are so many assumptions out there, right or wrong but there out there. Neither party is without fault, both parties got us in this mess. At this point, i'm wonder why do we need them, they all need timeout.
