Seems to me "his activities as of late" were mostly pre 911. Norquist ws trying to put together a coalition of Muslim groups that could identify with and support the GOP, a good long term goal for conservatism. The extent of the Wahhabi tentacles into Muslim American society were unknown, even by the government.

To assert that Norquist knowingly has and is undermining the security of the US is absurd. Did he screw up? Yes.

I got an idea, let's continue to eat our own so we end up with no effective non GOP conservative influence or leadership. Then we can just hand everything over to the pols.

Well, there was the group of islamofascist-supporting guys he got to stand with President Bush right after 9/11...

Could it be that he's more concerned with his own power, both real and perceived? After the 2000 election and before his pals blew up my neighborhood (again), he was crowing and puffing his chest, bragging about how he "delivered" that vote to Bush and how it won the election. I think *somebody* made an oopsie.

I got an idea, let's continue to eat our own so we end up with no effective non GOP conservative influence or leadership. Then we can just hand everything over to the pols.

Better yet, let's just blindly, reflexively defend our own, even if they're (knowingly or not) supporting those who want to literally destroy us!

Had Norquist been responsible he would have severed ties in September 2001.
Instead, he has compounded his error. He is part of the problem. You are putting partisanship above country.

"I got an idea, let's continue to eat our own "

If the allegations in this article are true, he is not one of my own, even if you still want to own him. I don't care what he has done in the past.

I will be waiting to hear Mr. Norquist's rebuttal.
