Yes, interesting article, especially this paragraph:

In the U.S. Senate race in New Jersey, Muslims rallied to Democrat Robert Torricelli after his opponent, Republican Richard Zimmer, accused him of pandering to Islamic terrorists. Torricelli had appeared at an Arab-American gathering that reportedly was attended by guests with ties to Hamas, a militant organization opposed to the state of Israel. Torricelli likened the attack to an ethnic smear.

And no, I don't recall hearing about this before.

Here's another interesting reference to the Torch and the Muslim vote in the '96 election. Click here. Apparently, according to this source, the Torch got 96% of registered Muslim voters. The really interesting thing here, though, is not so much the article as it is the article's source. Torricelli has some interesting folks sucking up to him. Does the Washington Report on Middle Eastern Affairs ring any bells? It should. They're the group staffed by former Foggy Bottomites who have warm and fuzzy feelings for Palestinian terrorists.

Torricelli likened the attack to an ethnic smear.

Well, that's interesting. The liberals now consider it an "ethnic smear" to point out when they've been caught moralizing with Hamas.

I stand by my earlier statement. Torricelli is a leftist pig.
