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.

Latest intercept from Tora Bora: All your Democrat are belong to us.

You allways knew it in your heart! This is just proof!

Well, we can start a comprehensive count of Al-Quaeda democrats on this thread. I don't know these guys but they are group one: 6 democrats.

I think it was OUR President who said, 'if you are with us, you are against us', what else needs to be said about them.

[mwl1]

Yes, keep a list of media outlets and tell everyone you know. It speaks volumes.

Truth hurts doesn't it - HEH HEH

[floriduh voter]

Great idea to arrest registered democrats in Florida's sleeper cells so they can't vote for Jeb's opponent. I LIKE IT... Of course, the arrests have to be due to a preponderance of evidence or else Jeb will get blamed AGAIN, right betty?

'if you are with us, you are against us'

ER, What?

This is a serious issue for the DNC. Im sure abortion clinic bombing were done by registered republicans (unfortunately, of course we distance ourselves from such action) but the timing of this is what makes it so damaging to the DNC.

In a war with terrorism and America HATING people like Johnny Bin Walker, a terrorist cell of democrats was busted up. OUCHIES! If Bush is in it for oil (of course he aint), I would rather him be in it for oil than in it for terrorists. Spead the word fellow conservatives! Terrorists are democrats!

Great post on the kitchen table stuff.

My guess is these pukes were unofficial advisers to Schumer and Hildabeast on HOMELAND SECURITY.

THEY DON'T WANT TO OFFEND THEIR MUSLIM BASE!!!!

Great Idea -- MUSLIM BASE! Believe you are 100% correct!

We need to keep repeating that! Wonder what the chances are that a good percentage of Muslims are DemocRATS?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Bush Orders Arrest of Democratic Voters!!!!

Since the democRATS are all howlin' about racial profiling, I think a more inclusive way to be vigilant is to quit looking at all middle easterners, and start looking at all democRATS.

[aristeides]

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

[anniegetyourgun]

ROFL....how true....

Would be a good idea for FReepers to post sources reporting this information so we can keep track.

And if possible make sure to post the entire story. For some reason (perhaps many freepers trying to access) the Buffalo News story that you posted HERE , the link keeps coming up page not found.
