“Conservative” Joseph DioGuardi’s “sensational” election as the GOP Senate candidate in New York has shaken up the Republican Party, gloats the Tropoja-based Albanian Minerals President M. Mujaj in the Wall Street Journal Blog. “The American people have spoken,” this self-styled compatriot of ours is telling us. “The American way of life needs to be rebalanced. Households need to stop spending what they don’t have. Local and state governments need to slash their budgets to live off whatever tax revenues they generate [...] The American people voted for change.”
What Mr. Mujaj does not mention is that former Congressman DioGuardi is the founder and well-endowed president of the Albanian American Civic League, a lobby group for the KLA-run “independent” province of “Kosova.” This is a significant fact, crucial to the funding of his candidacy, which he curiously does not mention on his campaign website. Even more curiously, the League’s aacl.com site—full of information on DioGuardi’s KLA connections—has been mysteriously dormant for weeks. There is, nevertheless, ample evidence out there that DioGuardi and his wife have been, for years, key fundraisers and apologists for the terrorist KLA in this country. It is unsurprising that he omits this aspect of his career from his pitch to the voters of New York, but it is curious that no one has called attention to the fact thus far.
As for Tropoja, it is a town in northern Albania best known not as a hub of mining in general, or as the HQ of DioGuardi’s friend Mr. Mujaj’s Albanian Minerals in particular, but as the gruesome site of a “clinic” known as The Yellow House in which hundreds of Serb civilians kidnapped in Kosovo by the KLA in 1999 were brought to be murdered for organ harvesting. As my friend Julia Gorin wrote two and a half years ago,
"For perhaps the first time in history, the mainstream media have deemed the dismemberment of Serbs newsworthy. More accurately, they have deemed newsworthy the dismemberment of the Serb and non-Serb victims of our friends, and almost all living Albanians’ great heroes, the KLA … The new information is revealed in the forthcoming book The Hunt by Carla Del Ponte, former chief prosecutor for the Hague Tribunal. A few reports, starting with—gasp—the AP (which both the International Herald Tribune and Fox News deigned to carry), Albanian trafficking in organs of killed Kosovo Serbs investigated… Del Ponte said her investigators had been informed that some 300 Serbs were killed for organ trafficking."
Del Ponte—not known as a friend of the Serbs by any token—was the first to reveal that the imprisoned Serbs were taken to a camp in Tropoja where the younger ones were picked out, and their organs were later sold abroad. Even high KLA members were involved in the operation of smuggling of organs, Del Ponte explained. She attested that her investigators and UNMIK officials were made aware that in mid-1999 the KLA moved some 300 abducted non-Albanians to Tropoja’s “yellow house” where in one room that was used as an operating theater, the surgeons were removing organs from the victims. The organs were transported by air from Tirana to clinics abroad for clients and medical institutions that paid for them. The victims left with one kidney were kept locked, and later on killed for other organs. “Other prisoners in the barrack knew what was to happen to them,” Del Ponte added.
The horrors of Tropoja and the KLA are light years away from DioGuardi’s New York State audiences and his usual sales pitch … standard fiscal conservatism, family values. No mention of the KLA anywhere, of course.
Had another Joseph, Dr. Mengele, decided to run for the U.S. Senate sixty years ago, he too would have kept quiet about certain medical pursuits, and certain political affiliations, similar in kind and moral depravity to DioGuardi’s. But he did not, wisely preferring to stay in Brasil. DioGuardi’s ability to do so today is a sad testimony on the decrepitude of the GOP and on the state of this country’s politics.

If he is against Obama, I would vote for Satan!
You’re like Walter Duranty who who could not bring himself to expose Stalin’s genocides because of his own ideology.

Yup-—vote for a fascist crook because his family member is on Idol.
Very telling.
Just precious.
The conundrum that many limp wristed conservatives face.
I’m not required to answer your questions, and I have no reliable information with which to do so.
Your bad manners do not advance your cause.
Asking a simple question is not "bad manners."
Going on as if you've been put out by being asked a question is...well, shall we call it "overly dramatic", in case the kids are listening.
The only thing I’ve learned from this thread is that some people of Serbian heritage have a burning hatred for Albanians, and since Mr. DioGuardi is conspicuously proud of his Albanian heritage they hate him, and hold him responsible for any crimes which may possibly have been committed by any Albanians.
I hadn’t taken any interest in DioGuardi’s campaign, but now I think I’ll send him some money. He’s a conservative Republican who has a fairly good chance to win in Liberal New York State, which would be great for the USA.

Ok, so you've convinced us that you aren't much of a student!
LOL!
But you do have a..."flair for the dramatic!"
Have you SEEN her on Idol? She was terrible! The worst kind of know-it-all. Obnoxious.
Gillibrand was for cap and trade. I’m voting for dioguardi.
Curious response to a "yes or no" question.
FL: You should stop asking difficult questions. /s
Maybe I should type slower?
We tried to warn y’all!!!!

DioGuardi is a MONSTER!!!! He has also been a close compatriot of John McCain and Bob Dole, both of whom are also rabid Serbophobes.
A vote for DioGuardi is a vote for islamic subversion and terrorism, as well as for the vicious Albanian mafia and its crimes. And given DioGuardi’s close ties to McCain, it may also be a vote for Amnesty.
Vote for Conservative Party candidate and anti-muslim Rick Lazio. Give money to his campaign, not DioGuardi’s, and do all you can to elect Lazio. You’ll be glad you did!!!!
Sorry—I made a mistake. Lazio is running for Governor, not Senator.
DioGuardi is the Conservative party candidate as well as the Republican one.
If you live in New York, you are truly between a rock and a hard place in voting for Senator, thanks to the uninformed, undiscerning votes of the NY Republican electorate.
Lord have mercy!!!!
I will find out who the write in is...and vote for him/her.
No way will I vote for this scumball DioGuardi.
And I am saying this to all I know.
Mayor - do you know if there any alternative to DioGuardi/gillegrand?
Charlie Crist is the worst GOP candidate.
Why don’t you call DioGuardi’s campaign office so you can get both sides? If the volunteer doesn’t know enough about this, ask them to please find out the whole story, and get back to you. Simple.
Or you can vote for Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the worst pro-abortion liberals.
DioGuardi was strongly endorsed by the NYS Right-to-Life Committee, supports and understands the 2nd amendment, and wrote a book on fiscal conservatism before fiscal conservatism was cool.
Is he perfect? No. But tell me a candidate who is.
Okay, I take back his being a clown. I mainly meant my post to rebut the writer’s suggestion that he was the worst candidate ever. I would give that to Rinfret. Nelson Rockefeller would be an Honorable Mention, but he actually managed to win.
Actually there have been a lot of horrible RINOs, but thanks to the Tea Party, et al, we got rid of some in the primaries.
I’ve been thinking and thinking, and I’m still sticking with Gov. Charlie Crist as the worst Republican.
