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 agree wita. But the government sponsored two party system want things just the way they are. We need a viable third.

[Snow Bunny]

ROTFL....I LOVE anything that makes a democRAT mad.. LOL

Dems and the terrorists are BOTH enemies of America.

[MeekOneGOP]

They both have Divide Amerika agendas......

...and the terrorists are more honest. They tell us they want to destroy us.

Haven't read all the responses yet, but my first thought was, heck, they're still trying to cover up that Gary Condit is a DemocRAT.

[2rightsleftcoast]

You bet!

[2rightsleftcoast]

I was surprised too, but today I have not heard it
mentioned again.I think the media will drop that
quickly. If they were Republicans we would hear
about it for years.

[2rightsleftcoast]

I agree with you completely.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

As Spock would say, that's very logical (and I happen to agree!).

[2rightsleftcoast]

Wow, thanks for the link. They are furious.
One person called this Bush's plan to demonize
the demorats.
.
They actually believe that crap about one of
the guys in NY being voted most friendly.
LOL

[2rightsleftcoast]

Love it.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I have always been suspicious of soccer players as well.

And, perhaps, their soccer moms?!

[2rightsleftcoast]

Went back to your link again.
OMG now they are going to boycott Fox!

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I can't wait until it's revealed that they all... CONTRIBUTED TO HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN

When I get a chance, I will check out her FEC reports.

[AlGone2001]

It's official...

Terrorism is a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy.

[HAL9000]

I can't wait until it's revealed that they all... CONTRIBUTED TO HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN - When I get a chance, I will check out her FEC reports.

Good idea - Check HillPAC too.

[windchime]

I haven't heard it since this morning. I don't know if Hannity mentions it, so I'm going to watch the repeat.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

And Algore's too, while I'm at it. In my spare time (yeah, right). The busy just get busier :-). I like research, btw. This oughta be "vehly IN-tell-est-ing" as Artie Johnson used to say on "Laugh In".

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

BTW, thanks for the link. I hadn't heard about Hillary!PAC (choke, gag).
