Report cited by Bachmann claims Norquist linked to Muslim Brotherhood

Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist helped the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrate the U.S. government, according to the report that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) cited in an attack on top State Department aide Human Abedin.

Earlier this month, Bachmann and four other Republicans sent a letter to inspectors general in the State, Homeland Security, Defense and Justice departments calling on them to investigate “potential Muslim Brotherhood infiltration” of the Obama administration by Abedin, an aide to Secretary Clinton and wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY).

As evidence of their claims, the five Republicans cited “The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within,” a ten-part video course produced by the Center for Security Policy.

Sun Jul 22, 2012, 11:50 AM

OMG, you can not make this stuff up!

From the link:


The movies claim that the “Muslim Brotherhood was helped in its efforts to achieve information dominance over the George W. Bush administration” by Norquist, a Christian. The influential anti-tax activist is also accused of using “various organizations to promote Islamist agendas.”

Nearly every Republican in Congress has signed Norquist’s Taxpayer Protection Pledge, vowing to oppose any and all tax increases. Only 14 Republican members of 112th Congress have refused to sign the pledge.


They're all Islamofascists working to undermine the government of the USA by defunding it through tax cuts!

Oh, wait, that's starting to make sense to me... Because I know they are working to undermine the government..

But I didn't think it was because of 'Islamofascists...' If I feel like I'm going to agree with a Teabagger, I need coffee. A lot of it.

Or a lobotomy.

The Wahhabi Lobby

The Safa Group, as the network of organisations are referred to in Herndon, had transmitted more than $26 million in untraceable money overseas, and leaders of the organisation committed and conspired to provide material support to terrorist organisations. The president of Safa, Jamal Barzinji, is a former business associate of Youssef Nada.251 The ties between Nada and Safa were many, as were ties to other Muslim Brotherhood leaders.252

According to David Kane, of Homeland Security, there was no innocent explanation “for the use of layers and layers of transactions between Safa Group companies and charities other than to throw law enforcement authorities off the trail.” The express purpose of the Safa Group, “set up primarily with donations from a wealthy Saudi family, was to fund terrorism and hide millions of dollars.” Kane insisted that the complex nature of “the myriad financial transactions and the fact that much of the money was sent to tax havens with bank secrecy laws make it impossible to trace the final destination of much of the money.”253

The Safa trust provided funds for a political group called the Islamic Free Market Institute. The non-profit Islamic Institute was started by Grover Norquist, in collaboration with Karl Rove, former President Bush’s chief political adviser. Grover Norquist is the president of the noted anti-tax lobbying group, Americans for Tax Reform, and is a well-connected Conservatism activist with close ties to business and to the media.

Beck stands in front of a blackboard and holds a piece of chalk. He writes on the blackboard as he speaks.

Let's take a look at that name Michele Bachmann.

Let's see . . . there's an i, an l, an a and an m. All you need is an s and you have Islam, the insidious ideology working to destroy American even centuries before there were any white men here. You know, white men. Real Americans.

Then there's an m, an l, an i and an n. Add a u and an s and that's Muslin. It's a clear sign that Michele Bachmann is a Muslin. What's that? Why are you laughing? It's Muslim? I know that, but Muslin is the code for Muslim in communications between the American Christian God and his chosen people in the Tea Party and the 912 movement. That's why Muslim is spelled Muslin on so many Tea Partiers home made lawn signs. Somebody get the engineer to stop laughing so hysterically.

And let's look more. There's a b, an a, an m and we'll use the a again. But a big capital O infront of it and what's that? Will somebody get that laugh jackass out of here? Why are you all laughing. Get off my set!! Get off my set!! None of you will ever work here again!! Get off my set!!
