A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.

Great, now we have jihadists being elected into government.

[stuartcr]

Has to be a RINO.

[tobyhill]

Just broke on MSNBC tv. D or R doesn’t matter, hang ‘em high.

[capt. norm]

Ouch! That hurts.

It appears the the Republican Party was infiltrated by a "Towelie":

But when you think about it, the Democrat Party is not only infested with a full collection of such creeps, they let them run the whole show.

[Kolokotronis]

Siljander; the name looks Albanian, though IFRC, this fellow is, or claims to be Christian.

[montyspython]

The progressive liberals in this country will eventually make CAIR it’s political party.

[Rippin]

This could get big, they probably started with the R so it wouldn’t look like administratino is trumping it up.

[trumandogz]

Hang him for treason.

[michigander]

Wow! He was our district rep for a couple terms.

Took over for Stockman when he was appointed Reagan's budget director.

[trumandogz]

MSNBC is reporting that he is Reagan Appointee.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

That should be punished by immediate death.

[tomnbeverly]

Whats the difference isnt that what Barrack Obama is? Aren’t these two guys from the same neighborhood in Chicago... Is America that stupid to vote for a potential Muslim junior Senator from IL that has not been vetted by the media or any investigator?

[tobyhill]

It seems something about Michigan, Muzzie, terrorist and now congress-critters are inseparable.

[Numbers Guy]

Has to be a RINO.

Actually he was very conservative. He won a special election to replace David Stockman when Stockman became President Reagan's budget director. He faced a tough primary challenge a few years later from Fred Upton. Just before the primary, Siljander released an audio tape asking people to "break the back of Satan" by defeating Upton. That backfired bigtime and he lost the primary.

Keep a sharp eye on that dude from the midwest somewhere who insisted upon being sworn in on a Koran instead of a Bible!

[tillacum]

Are you surprised??? We have a congressman from IL who refused to takes his alegience to America on the bible, but insisted on the quoran. Of course we won’t hear of him doing any wrong....he’s a democrat.

[SlayerOfBunnies]

It’s simple. He gets his day in court and, if found guilty, needs to be hanged immediately.

[OldGuard1]

Hanged? Don’t you mean “beheaded”? I hear they’re really into that sort of thing.

[SlayerOfBunnies]

They are but we are civilized.
