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.

All are registered voters — Democrats," announced USA Today on Monday, picking up the News report. No surprise there.

And is typical of all registered demorats, they all voted early and often.

McVeigh grew up in Buffalo too? Now that is interesting, espcecially with recent reports that Saddam was involved with OKC. Something is rotten in the Town of Buffalo.

This all fun and entirely on point, but I hope we will all spend some energy electing GOP and conservative candidates... the only poll that matters is the one on Election Day.

And we are working our asses off in Minnesota to get Wellstone of the federal payroll.

We'll never see this on Dan, Tom, or Peter's shows. Bet you Brit slips this in somewhere (political grapevine). O'Reilly and Hannity should mention tonight. Rush should be all over this. This is great stuff!

in addition to congenital misfits, incompetents of every stripe, abominations of humanity, retreads, rapists, hate filled dolts, exponents of parasites, theives, power lusters, and every subclass of moron known to exist.

LMAO big time

It is so true: Most career criminals register as Democrats in those juristictions where sociopaths are misguidedly allowed to vote.
