Another reason to vote Republican


Cyndi the tame Saudi poodle is back in the mainstream media. A story by Thomas Edsall of the Washington Post raises those pesky questions about why so many of McKinney's campaign donors are Muslims with ties to terrorism (hard to imagine, isn't it).

One of the Islamofascists mentioned in the Post story is "Sami Al-Arian, a Florida professor whose past videotaped remarks include: 'Let us damn America, let us damn Israel. Let us damn their allies until death," and "Victory to Islam, death to Israel.'"

But, of course, the prof is totally misunderstood and a victim of rightwing abuse. See, if you have a strong stomach, a story in Salon, if you wish to see pandering online.

Back to the Post: "Al-Arian, the University of South Florida professor, defended himself at an Aug. 1 news conference in St. Petersburg. He said, " 'Death to Israel' meant death to apartheid, death to oppression. . . . I never incited people to violence or murder. It never happened.""

So. "Death to Israel" of course does not mean death to Israel. It means...

It is one thing to state such crap in public; Al-Arian is just a canker on the hemorrhoid of the national sphincter; those who defend him are willfully blind to Islamohatred. Those who take funding from such as Al-Arian or his defenders are what issues from that sphincter.

Grr; inarticulate rage.
