I lost all respect for Norquist when I saw the way he attacked Gafney. Norquist doesn't have the influence he thinks he does at the White House. He has placed letters on the record in support of Bush's policies and that's about it. For him to claim he has the inside skinny at the White House is laughable. Gafney has also acted like an ass as well. The two of them shouldn't air their dirty laundry in public. They both lose

The two of them shouldn't air their dirty laundry in public.

There is a slight difference between the two -- Norquist is closely identified with the White House; Gaffney is not. Norquist took his temper tantrum to FNC two weeks ago -- I can't believe that was helpful to the White House in this critical time. He needs to crawl back under his rock and stop providing groups such as AMC, MPAC and CAIR with access to the White House. For God's sake, all of them support Hamas, defend Al-Arian and stifle any chance that moderate Muslims will be heard.

I detest Ratner, too -- but would you expect the liberal press not to pick up on this when Norquist won't back off?

Gaffney, Daniel Pipes and Murray have been writing about this extremist connection since 9/11 -- the only thing new is that Norquist has become more vocal, and dangerous, than ever.
