Accused Terrorist Is Big GOP Donor

February 19, 2007 1:51 PM

Justin Rood Reports:

Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari gave $15,250 to the NRCC since 2002, according to FEC records published on the Web site opensecrets.org.

On Friday, Alishtari pled not guilty to funding terrorism and other crimes, including financial fraud.

The NRCC is the main political group dedicated to helping the Republican party win seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Reached Monday morning for comment, an NRCC spokeswoman declined to discuss the matter on the record.

The indictment against Alishtari unsealed in Manhattan federal court Friday charges him with providing material support to terrorists by transferring $152,000 between banks to allegedly be used to purchase night-vision goggles and other equipment needed for a terrorist training camp.

I see, so 15K is a "big" donor to the GOP, but hundreds of millions from Soros to dems is completely ignored.

Cut the fool a check for the amount, and send him on his way.

[California Patriot]

Both the national and state GOPs need to be careful about such people.

Does this mean the Democrats and the ACLU have finally found a terrorist they are not willing to defend?

The inference is that the NRCC and the GOP are terrorist organizations. Most people woud think that is ridiculous, but in the liberal mind, it makes perfect sense.

Exactly right. to the liberal mind, conservatives ad Republicans are terrorists, but Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamass, and groups like that are not. Why? "There are no enemies on the left." (A Communist doctrine, BTW.)
