Reality Counts
"Secondly, William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn are unrepentent domestic terrorists who not only attempted to set bombs but actually did and people were killed."
You're talking about the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, right? Are you purposefully omitting to mention the fact that the three people who died were Weathermen who were caught by a premature detonation? Or are you thinking of something else? Because I would hate to think you were being intentionally misleading....
By the way, has anyone gone after Clinton's close associations with known terrorists?
For instance, Nelson Mandela? You know that Nelson Mandela was a leader of Umkhonto we Sizwe, a terrorist organization which engaged in a campaign of bombings and sabotage in which people were killed and badly injured? And that Mandela himself admitted that the African National Congress - which was affiliated with the South African Communist Party - engaged in human rights violations? Do you know that Clinton claims a very close friendship with this known terrorist, even attending birthday parties for the man?
What about Bill Clinton's known association with Yassar Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which was which designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. government and was responsible for the hijacking of the Achille Lauro during which a man was killed? What about the pictures of Hillary Clinton warmly kissing this known terrorist's wife on the cheek?
What do these associations, as well as Clinton's commutation of the sentences of two convicted Weather Underground members, say about Bill Clinton's casual attitude towards terrorists?
You know who else was a terrorist sympathizer?
Ronald Reagan. He praised the mujahideen as "Freedom Fighters." He was also a big fan of a group of terrorists known as the "Contras" in Nicaragua. In fact, the American government funded and armed both terrorists organizations.
Also, the Reagan Administration sold arms to Islamic extremists in Iran AFTER the Iranians had taken American citizens hostage and held them for over a year. Next time John McCain starts praising his hero Ronald Reagan, someone should ask him how he feels about the Gipper's selling arms to Islamic extremists. Or how he feels about Ronald Reagan's selling chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein. I mean, since the fight against Islamic extremism is the transcendent challenge of the 21st century, you'd think someone would have called on McCain to repudiate, reject, and renounce Ronald Reagan by now...
Wow, this is fun!
Anyone up for a quick game of Six Degrees of Baader-Meinhof?
