Democratic Party insiders are said to be furious over published reports identifying the five al Qaeda cell members arrested over the weekend in Lackawanna, New York as registered Democrats.
Sunday's Buffalo News initially revealed the inconvenient detail, noting first that "members of Lackawanna's Yemeni community describe the five arrested men as 'all-American.'"
"They include a telemarketer, a used car salesman and a former high school soccer star who was named friendliest in his class. Four are married, and three have children. All are registered voters Democrats," announced USA Today on Monday, picking up the News report.
News of the al Qaeda cell's political affiliation can only exacerbate the party's already growing image as being soft on terrorism. Monday morning, for instance, noting that the Lackawanna five will be unable to go to the polls in the future, WABC Radio's Curtis Sliwa joked, "There's five less votes for Hillary Clinton."
Some Republicans see the "Al Qaeda were Democrats" reports as poetic justice.
Over the years, Democratic Party spinmeisters and their liberal media friends have repeatedly attempted to make hay over the political ties of domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, whom President Clinton once tried to tie to conservative radio talker Rush Limbaugh.

Why are the Democrats so upset? Isn't that what they want after all? For EVERYONE to be a Democrat? Well, here's 5 for them. As American citizens, isn't this OK for those who were arrested to choose their party? Well, they chose to be Democrats!

Oh yeah, and if they had to censor the profanities I don't think they could talk at all.

FROM THE DU THREAD: Several are avid soccer players. All five are registered Democrats.
I have always been suspicious of soccer players as well.

You know all those quips we make about how Congressional Democrats are the American Taliban? The al Qaeda/Democrat connection gives a VERY sinister meaning to those words.

Yes. Paybacks are Hell, and they sure are hypocrites on this and so many issues.
Hopefully, friends, what we are witnessing is the implosion of the RATS ala 1994. Help it along. Go to work for GOP candidates from US Senate to local dogcatcher.

Speaking of chickens and eggs (we were?), which came first: Al Qaeda or Democrats? I'd say Demoncrats...in the role of "enablers".
That makes good sense to me.
(And I just noticed your improved spelling of Democrats. Good One!)

So it's OK to portray McVeigh as part of the vast right wing conspiracy, but it's not ok to portray muslim terrorists and gang bangers as part of the Dem conspiracy?????
