February 21, 2003 -- IT'S hang-your-head-in- shame day for a whole crew of naifs who simply could not face the possibility that Palestinian terrorists were being organized, funded and controlled from a tenured perch at a Florida university.

Those naifs include editors and writers at The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Miami Herald, Time, Newsweek and Salon.com. They preferred to believe, against all reason and all evidence, that the U.S. government was simply obsessed with tormenting a perfectly nice if overly hysterical Palestinian professor and his family.

Lenin called such people, who were unknowingly serving his interests, "useful idiots."

I think a whole bunch of these slime sucking dirt bags knew exactly what they were doing, and knowingly served the interests of Lenin.

I prefer the word shameless in the title, which is what I think the authors punchline was referring too. What a combination. The political beliefs of Marx wrapped in an Anti-Israeli package. What did Osama Bin Laden mean when he recently made the taped comment that working together with the socialists to stop america was okay. Was he just referring to the ruling Ba'ath party in Iraq ? What an unholy alliance. Murdering Islamic terrorists and socialist sympathizers from around the world. It does make some sense however. Todays Marxist Progressive needs someone to help establish their global progressive utopia. Because, we freepers are not going quietly.

It will not matter how compelling the evidence, liberals will still claim this guy is not guilty of anything.
