Now the part they always leave out...
Campaign Finance Records from the Ron Kirk for Mayor campaign list Ihsan Elashyi as a major donor on April 24, 1995. Ron Kirk is the current Democrat Senate Nominee for the open US Senate race in Texas.
Elashyi's donation was one of several from persons affiliated with several radical islamic groups based out of Richardson, TX, including the Holy Land Foundation and CAIR. CAIR openly brags about their strong relationship with Kirk on their website http://www.cairdfw.org/accomplishments.shtml

Has or will the Dallas Morning News run this story, and the Kirk connection?

The Dallas Morning News has covered the whole Infocom/Holy Land Foundation thing pretty heavily.
They haven't mentioned that the central convict in it gave money to Kirk though. The only ones covering that aspect of it are some of the right wing press outlets.

Democrats helping the terrorists. Why don't they run ads saying if Republicans are elected there will be more mosque burnings.

Ihsan Elashyi = "Dallas Man"
I suppose he could be a native of Dallas.
...but hey, I'm a little bit skeptical here.

Why don't they run ads saying if Republicans are elected there will be more mosque burnings. You may be onto something. They could do one with the daughter of some HAMAS agent who got blown up by the Israelis saying "When Republicans get elected, I feel like my father is dying all over again"

This was in an earlier thread - based on an article from an Austin paper.

Probably a conservative one. I seriously doubt the Austin UNamerican-Statesman would report the "moderate" Democrat media darling Ron Kirk has ties to terrorists.
To: GOPcapitalist
Well, this brings the whole Barbra Streisand rant against Bush's war against terror into a whole new light -- she has endorsed RON KIRK on her website!

I hope the El Paso Times will pick this up on the wire and go with it. I know they won't link Kirk though. I think about 80% of El Paso is voting for him.

Some people say we need two parties to bounce ideals off each other. I say America has a deadly enemy as part of one Party and we tolerate them at our own peril and the peril of the nation. They and their vote fraud must be defeated.
I hope that in every county in every state, lawsuits spring up, and we have a repeat of 2001, only this time the Republicans should be crying foul and seeking redress. I don't know what is wrong with the Republican Party that it just keeps on taking this kind of sedition against the nation.
To: GOPcapitalist
Four years seems a little light, but I'll take it. Anybody keeping track of how many InfoCom/Holy Land types have been indicted, convicted or deported?
We need to keep an eye on all the Middle Easterners if possible. We are blest that the vast majority of islamic immigrants in the Dallas & Fort Worth area are Paki or Indian, and are much less radical (and harder working and better educated) than the Arabs. The Pakis know their home country is a sh*thole, and they know why. The Arabs (in general, by comparison, etc) are too damn arrogant to recognize the pathological nature and current depravity of their native culture.

This thoroughly p*sses me off! The Cronyn campaign needs to be insisting this be covered in press releases. If the lame stream press STILL won't cover it, his campaign needs to start accusing the press of a cover-up. Enough is enough!

Another one has been deported - an ex-employee named Ghassan Dahduli who was shipped out because of ties to Al Qaeda.

If the lame stream press STILL won't cover it, his campaign needs to start accusing the press of a cover-up. It's definately a press coverup. I'm not sure what the Cornyn folk's strategy is on it either. They've hit Kirk on everything else related to national defense - Iraq, the Council for a Livable World thing - but not this.
Kirk's candidacy is a national story, so maybe we can get Fox or the Washington Times to carry it or something. Flood their news tips section with emails etc.
To: GOPcapitalist
In fact the Austin UNAmerican-Statesman has been running sweet, gushy articles about Kirk for several weeks.

I don't remember the name, but you are right - not the statesman. Is there one called the Post?
