WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Stockman Friday asked Democrat-aligned group MoveOn.org to apologize for hosting an online petition opposing a terrorist designation for Boko Haram.
“Boko Haram has murdered thousands and kidnapped hundreds of little girls to sell into sexual slavery. It is beyond despicable for Democrat Party groups to support a terrorist organization,” said Stockman. “The Democrat Party group MoveOn should apologize for hosting supporters of kidnappers and terrorists.”
The petition, “Reject ‘Terrorist’ Designation for Boko Haram” was posted in 2012 and began gaining more signatures from Democrat Party activists after the group kidnapped 230 Nigerian girls to sell into sexual slavery.
It demands the Obama administration “not to support the formal designation of Boko Haram in Nigeria as a ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization’ (FTO).” The Obama administration, under then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, refused to designate Boko Haram a terrorist group, even after it bombed United Nations headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria in 2011. The group was finally designated a FTO in November 2013.
MoveOn is one of the biggest bankrollers of Democrat Party camp...

why is it that only Stockman, Robinson and me know about this?
I just hope the Republicans can muster the will to saddle up on this outrage and ride it hard.
Oops, what a shame if the record should show such a probable but embarassing statements. There are a lot of other similar statements from MoveOn, but that is no surprise so it is not ‘news!’
The democrats war on school girls...
this is like asking termites to apologize for eating a house.
bttt
Isn’t moveon designated as a 501c? Having to pay no taxes? Is that accurate? If so why is a democrat congresscritter recognizing them as a democrat organization?
Where can one find this moron dot org petition? Has it been scrubbed completely?
Here is a search that does not show up in it... http://petitions.moveon.org/find/?q=boko+haram
