Dems Fume as Al Qaeda Cell Political Ties Revealed

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.

I'm sure all of their lawyers are Democrats, too.

[Williams]

Please keep in mind that they could easily register as Republicans next time to appear more conservative. You can only go so far with this. the democrats are truly despicable from a natioanl security perspective and taht should be enough without seriously arguing taht Al Queda are democrats.

Al Quedacrats!

[windchime]

I don't think this new group is "all American". They've been deprived of the opportunity to vote for the "smartest woman in the world".

[Charles Martel]

I'm sure hoping we have some DU lurkers who are ready to jump in this thread and clear up all these troubling questions.

So far, all I can hear are the crickets!

"Home grown al Qaeda thugs/terrorists being registered Rat Voters!"

LOL...not surprising. If Jihad Johnnie were registered to vote...I don't believe he was, but could be wrong... he'd DEFINITELY be registered Democrat.

[ValerieUSA]

I don't get the connection between being soccer players and being All-American.

[SkyPilot]

Ever notice the horrible use of the English Language over there at DU.

Yes, I guess they don't have rules about: NO Profanity, NO personal attacks, No racism or violence either.

But, there is a poster on DU using every curse word there is named SlutBunwalla

But, they also have threads on "Fisting" too.

Al Quedacrats! = Degenacrats!

"I don't get the connection between being soccer players and being All-American."

I BELIEVE it's one of those relativism things : bin Laden is a HUGE soccer fan, and they DO plan on taking over America.

[sam_paine]

Tim Russert and Wolf Blitzer are also from Buffalo, I believe.

AHA! Conspiracy proven! I hate the Bills.

[AdA$tra]

AHA! Conspiracy proven! I hate the Bills.

Where did OJ play pro ball? The plot thickens.

[1Old Pro]

I can't wait until it's revealed that they all

CONTRIBUTED TO HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN

[Constitutional Patriot]

Any word on this from the DUmmies?

[knighthawk]

The lefties are the people who protect terrorist scum, sometimes even encourage them (against Israel), and Clinton never really acted to stop the Osama boys, so voting Demorat is the only logical thing for them to do.

[Grampa Dave]

Both of his parents and his lawyers were registered rats. So if he had registered to vote, he would have been your typical Marin County Rat voter.

It's the HATE AMERICA FIRST crowd, no surprise here. Birds of a feather you know.
