Dems Fume as Al Qaeda Cell Political Ties Revealed
Newsmax.com ^ | 9/16/02 | Carl Limbacher

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.

"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."

Makes you wonder how long it will be before Daschle, Clinton, Kennedy, et al, try to get Al Qaeda named as a "protected minority" in all of our civil rights laws.

Did you see that they're accusing some right wingers of filling out voter registration cards in these guys names?? I don't know if I can take much more of laughing this hard!

Great clip art to accompany this quote. Too friggin' much.

"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".

Since when did the Rats start requiring their voters to be American?

"Al Quedacrats!"

ROTFL! Looks like Lowbridge was being prophetic when he created the "Al Qaeda Underground."

Of course they are Democrats. They were simply fighting for Justice, Equality, Diversity and Multiculturalism and against American Imperialism and Hegemony.

No kidding. Why should this surprise people? Remember Johnny Taliban? He and his whole family were democrats and it was easy to see how he ended up with the Al Queda with such a permissive and self-hateful environment.

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

Sure they do. If you don't use these things, you're outed as a FReeper and immediately banned.

"Any word on this from the DUmmies?"

It is a Republican conspiracy and a Fox news ploy to make the democrats look bad. Never mind that they do that so well all by themselves. See link in post #102.
