Who's The Terrorists' Best Friend?

If one were to listen to the right wing squawk brigade and their echo chamber, one would think that every liberal, Democrat and member of the hate left was in active collaboration with Al Qaeda.

So you will understand if they are a little sheepish about these grandiose, sweeping, and irresponsible allegations and generalizations for a few days. This will be because of this story found on JSOnline:

A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday on charges of working for an alleged terrorist fundraising ring that sent more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.

Mark Deli Siljander, a Michigan Republican when he was in the House, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about being hired to lobby senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.

The 42-count indictment, unsealed in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Mo., accuses the Islamic American Relief Agency of paying Siljander $50,000 for the lobbying - money that turned out to be stolen from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

So, if you see a Republican, and just to be safe, any conservative, please call Homeland Security immediately, and tell them you just found an ally to the terrorists. And a likely thief to boot.

And keep an eye on those Libertarians, too. ;)
