Let's try and be honest about what actually happened on that radio show. I've listened to it three times, how about you?
Sami Al Arian isn't an obscure Arab name among 100 that was discussed on that show, he's one of the highest-profile terror infiltrators this country has seen.
There was a very specific exchange in which Norquist claimed that not only had Al Arian not visited the White House under President Bush, but also that Norquist had made a specific point of calling the White House about that visit, and that someone there had told him Al Arian's visit never happened.
Norquist is lying in this, as he has in other instances. Al Arian's visit has been reported in numerous sources, and has been acknowledged by the White House.
