Grover Norquist's strange alliance with radical Islam (Tokyo Rove touts Muslim vote)
New Republic ^ | November 12, 2001 | Franklin Foer

Posted on 10/16/2015 4:27:19 PM PDT by ObamahatesPACoal

ON THE AFTERNOON of September 26, George W. Bush gathered 15 prominent Muslim- and Arab-Americans at the White House. With cameras rolling, the president proclaimed that “the teachings of Islam are teachings of peace and good.”

(SNIP)

And he has done so to their mutual political benefit. During the 2000 campaign, Norquist urged Karl Rove to focus on the Muslim vote—pointing to, among other things, the thousands of Muslims in the key state of Michigan. By all appearances, the Bush campaign heeded Norquist’s advice. In an admirable departure from the usual Republican script, Bush frequently integrated mosques into his platitudes about churches and synagogues. In the second presidential debate, Bush vowed to repeal the use of secret evidence, just as Norquist had promised. Bush even named Saffuri as the campaign’s National Advisor on Arab and Muslim Affairs.

“On the afternoon of September 11, a group of Muslim leaders happened to have plans to meet the president in the West Wing to discuss their grievances with racial profiling and secret evidence. When they couldn’t enter the building, along with almost everyone else, they headed a few blocks uptown and reconvened—in the conference room of Norquist’s office.”

Not so strange when you consider that Norquist’s wife is a Muslim.

Norquist is a vile little sharia loving troll.

I know a lot of people here don’t like Glenn Beck, but I am grateful that Beck really kicked his sorry rear end a few years ago.

There seem to be a lot of interfaith romances going on in Washington D.C. these days.

That’s when Bush lost me, when he kept repeating the idiocy that “Islam is a religion of peace”.

Selling out to all that Rich ME oil money, the same g-d damned money that has been used to buy and man radical mosques around the world for the last 50 years....

No wonder this little weasel loves his mussleman friends so damned much.

He has either gone full whahabbi, or he is a male whore gold digger.

He is probably a Jew hater too.

Grover was on the Michael Medved show this week, Michael considering him a “long time friend.” Does Michael not know this? Grover is a clown.

Point to ponder:

It’s not just that Kerry’s daughter/son married a Muslim or Norquist’s wife or Clooney’s wife, Weiner’s Huma...but instead, one has to first HATE this country to seek out a person to marry who additionally hates this country and wants to take it over or tear it down.

Think about that. So, Norquist didn’t sell out after he married, he sought her out AFTER selling out.

Benedict Arnold married Peggy Shippen, of a prominent Loyalist family in Philadelphia.

Grover Norquist was known , about twenty years ago, as one of the two or three most socially inept men within the political class. He was the guy whose face flushed, and he stammered and stuttered and visibly sweated when he tried to make small talk with any attractive woman. He along with, I think Jon Lind, were sort of joke figures on the cocktail party circuit. Then he starts turning up with this swan of a muzzy female on his arm and hay presto they are wed. Since the writ of the muzzies is that the only way to marry one of the faithful is to embrace Islam, one must wonder what Grover pledged and did to get his very attractive wife.

So he literally and completely sold his mortal soul for some arm candy and money....

They’re spies and I’m sure Norquist’s wife, along with Huma, get a pass on anything they do because they are embedded with Washington officials. It’s interesting that the wife obviously targeted a social misfit - very intelligent, actually. The 9/11 murderers were forgiven in their drinking, drugging and whoring.

Not strange at all. Grover is a strange dude though.. His grody “Arafat beard” is obviously more than just a fashion statement.
