Serious question: who do you think the liberal media loathes more: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Grover Norquist? I'm going with 'b.' After all, Mahmoud merely wants to build an atom bomb and wipe Israel off the map, for starters. But Grover Norquist wants to keep taxes from increasing and thereby limit the growth of government.

In a 60 Minutes hit piece tonight, CBS correspondent Steve Kroft claimed Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, "likes things ugly." For good measure, Kroft claimed that Norquist's strategy has some of the characteristics of a "protection racket."

Norquist helped get the whole K Street thing started with his buddy Abramoff. Turned the Pubbies into whores no different than the Democrats.

Norquist is human scum.

With good reason, I would submit: The inimitable Ms Pamela Geller (of AtlasShrugs blog), has written with devastating effect on the dark Islamic underbelly of Grover Norquist, his activities, and his associations:

Read: He is the enemy within.

Guess what: Clueless Rick Perry is ‘buds’ with Norquist.

The entire Democrat Parth is a protection racket.

“Grover Norquist has continued his activities on behalf of the Islamic supremacists: In 2008, journalist Paul Sperry revealed Norquist’s sponsorship of Muslim candidates with shadowy ties to terrorists and wrote that Norquist had a “wicked project to dress Islamists up as patriotic Republicans so they can infiltrate the government.”

“Norquist sponsored Kamal Nawash’s unsuccessful bid to become Republican Party leader in Virginia; Nawash was Abdurahman Alamoudi’s attorney. Norquist also aided previous failed political runs by Nawash — including Nawash’s 2003 Virginia state senate bid, to which Saffuri gave money.”

I ceased watching “60 Minutes of spew” many, many years ago. About the same time I unsubscribed to National Geographic magazine.

Back then they both turned from interesting articles and points to downright political left wing propaganda....and still are today.

I hope that the Christian conservative groups leave CPAC and form their own conservative umbrella group that includes fiscal and social conservatism along with constitutionalism, states rights and gun rights. We don’t need Norquist. If he gives and invitation and nobody shows up to his party then he will be left outside in the cold.

So you know which conservative groups have disassociated themselves from CPAC?

Have you ever wondered how all of these Muslim Brotherhood types got permission to immigrate to the United States? It certainly appears that someone with power must have pulled strings to get them in.

Abdul Rahman Al Amoudi was a Clinton goodwill ambassador to the muslim community so this stuff goes back as least as far as Clinton.

As far as Norquist, he will take his thirty pieces of silver from anyone with the money to pay.

Second that.
