Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, March 22, 2010

In These Times: The chairman of FreedomWorks, the group credited with mobilizing the Tea Party movement, former Congressman Dick Armey spent years lobbying for a group recognized by the State Department as being a terrorist organization. Armey was employed as a lobbyist by leading international consulting firm DLA Piper. In that capacity, from 2005 to 2009, Armey promoted the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, otherwise known as Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), which the State Department has branded a terrorist group.

As predicted, this is just a step in the Republican Party's killing off these pesky teabaggers before they can put any candidates on the ballot for November.

They REALLY can't risk splitting the wingnut vote.

The Teaparty has been infiltrated, and corrupted by mainstream dirtbags like Sarah Palin, and Glenn Beck. It has been corrupted from the top down.

The new constitutional movement for constitutional liberties, and values is "The Real Coffee Party".

and all the rest lobby for either israel or the cia, the two largest terrorist groups in our country (yes israel is in our country, AIPAC conference this weekend is an example)

Where there's a buck, there's a Republican.

Wow, the leader put in charge to co-opt the "teaparty" lobbied for a US backed terrorist organization in Iran? Yah don't say?

In fairness to Dicky, under Bush these were the "good" terrorists because they only blew up Iranian children. Even the Bush Administration helped them.

Iraq and Iran are currently working together on winning this particular war on terror.

Do did Eric Holder, FALN pardoned of ALL CHARGES!

“Holder instructed his staff at Justice's Office of the Pardon Attorney to effectively replace the department's original report recommending against any commutations, which had been sent to the White House in 1996, with one that favored clemency for at least half the prisoners, according to these interviews and documents.......I remember this well, because it was such a big deal to consider clemency for a group of people convicted of such heinous crimes,” said Adams, the agency's top pardon lawyer from 1997 until 2008. He said he told Holder of his “strong opposition to any clemency in several internal memos and a draft report recommending denial” and in at least one face-to-face meeting. But each time Holder wasn't satisfied, Adams said.

The 16 members of the FALN (the Spanish acronym for Armed Forces of National Liberation) and Los Macheteros had been convicted in Chicago and Hartford variously of bank robbery, possession of explosives and participating in a seditious conspiracy. Overall, the two groups had been linked by the FBI to more than 130 bombings, several armed robberies, six slayings and hundreds of injuries.

Holder, 58, ultimately won support from all of the Democrats on the panel; many cited his credentials and backing by 130 law enforcement groups.

In a surprise, given comments over the past two months, several GOP lawmakers also cast their votes for Holder. Only two Republican senators, John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, voted "nay" on the nomination. Cornyn expressed concern about the nominee's role in controversial Clinton era pardons, Holder's view on terrorism issues and his approach to gun rights.

But other members of the panel -- from Republican Lindsay Graham (S.C.) to Democrat Dick Durbin (Ill.) -- said that Holder had charted a careful balance between protecting the nation's security and endorsing civil liberties.

Apparently nobody gave a rat's ass, Dave.

You are right, I am not a partisan hack like you, and can think for myself!

If you accept the pardoning of Marc Rich, I CHALLENGE YOU to tell us WHY?

BET YOU CAN'T, HACK!

If you accept the pardoning of Richard Nixon, I CHALLENGE YOU to tell us WHY?

Fixed that for you.

I do believe we have a law against that. I would assume then that there is a warrant out for his arrest.

I thought the White House was supposed to be getting tough with Israel on the apartheid in Gaza/West Bank. However, Hillary's worshipping to the Zionist AIPAC Throne today shows the USA has been promptly put back in its rightful place of obedience.

Silly boy, laws are for regular people.

However, Hillary's worshipping to the Zionist AIPAC Throne today shows the USA has been promptly put back in its rightful place of obedience.

I heard on the radio on my way home today that a large shipment of bunker-busting bombs destined for Israel had been withheld on Obama's order. You know why the Israelis want them, of course. Perhaps Hillary's prostrations before the altar of AIPAC were merely symbolic. I can only hope.

If you accept the pardoning of Marc Rich, I CHALLENGE YOU to tell us WHY?

I thought Clinton, not Holder, pardoned Rich, and I thought it sucked. But what does that have to do with a former GOPper leader pimping for terrorists? Do try and stay focused.

As Sleazy as Ronald RatFace!!!

The US Govt has sponsored,promoted and funded "Terrorist Organizations & Govts" for a hundred years or more! Who was a worse terrorist,torturer and mass murder than Chile's Gen.Pinochet but he was enthusiastically supported and funded by President Ronald Reagan with lots of help from "Noble Prize Winner" Henry Kissinger! Also President "RatFace" Reagan "illegally" traded weapons to Iran during Iran Contra which he of course "lied" about! Moral Authority? It doesn't exist anywhere in the US Govt!!!


Where there's a buck, there's a Republican.

That makes no sense.

Then all the Democrats who voted for this Health Care bill are Democrats?

You don't know your own party very well, do you?

They are stabbing you in the back, Northguy.

"Then all the Democrats who voted for this Health Care bill are Democrats?"

LOL

Have another beer, EDDIE

zOMFG!

Dick Armey is a sekret muslin!!!

Was kinda wondering where the Tea Partiers were getting all their wing-nutty rhetoric from.

Tehran, apparently.

Be Well.

Could have been. Hard to say though cos...

"I never said most of the things I said."

Spud's pretty sure it wasn't Sherlock Holmes at any rate.

Be Well.

Friends help friends, yaknow?

I guess that is almost as good as finding terrorists and then doing free law work for them and then go to work for the AG.

Perhaps Hillary's prostrations before the altar of AIPAC were merely symbolic. I can only hope.

The GOPpers are certainly kissing Kosher ass there. And, once again the Israeli Firsters are showing they see America as Israel's bitch.

Armey is part of the MEK 7.

NG3 you are such a hack you can't even think for yourself. Try real hard dude.

Eric Holder "More Deeply Involved" In Rich Pardon Than Supporters Acknowledge
www.huffingtonpost.com

The first question revolves around Mr. Holder's role in Bill Clinton's pardon of fugitive financiers Marc Rich and Pincus Green, a pardon that even Jimmy Carter denounced as "disgraceful" and "attributable to large gifts." Mr. Rich's former wife, Denise Rich, had donated to the Clinton Presidential Library.

Less than a month after the pardon, Mr. Holder told the House that "efforts to portray me as intimately involved or overly interested in this matter are simply at odds with the facts." But as Journal reporters Gary Fields and Phil Kuntz reported at the time, Mr. Holder had "interceded with prosecutors in New York" on the matter in November 1999, some 14 months before the pardon was issued. When then U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White refused to take a meeting with Jack Quinn, who was Mr. Rich's attorney and a former Clinton White House counsel, Mr. Holder told Mr. Quinn "we're all sympathetic."
