Information about Ex-Congressman who just got indicted on laundering money to terrorist
Edited on Wed Jan-16-08 04:40 PM by ck4829
You're gonna love this.

He's a Republican.
Reagan appointed him as an alternate to the United Nations General Assembly.
And he's also referred to the Quran as the "book of the devil."

Muslim hating RW'ers better pay attention, all bets are off now, your fellow Conservatives could be terrorist supporters!!!!

2. Of course there's a Moonie connection.
That's another story I'd like to see blown wide open.

3. There was reason to believe
that Gannon was a Moonie, and that's how he became 'involved'.

8. Gannon may have been a Moonie?
The tentacles are incredibly intertwined.

10. Moon was a big player in the World Anti-Communist League...

which disbanded because his participation became a bit too fascist. Lots of fascinating background and connections here: http://www.mail-archive.com/ctrl@listserv.aol.com/msg58387.html

Also, WACL tied together people like Abramoff and Oliver North.

5. CNN radio reports this story twice an hour and has yet to mention he's a Republican.

9. I suspect FAUX's spin on this one will actually be much worse.
The meme will be You can't trust Muslims in the government. ANY Muslim.

And by "Muslim" they mean anyone whose name sounds remotely Muslim.

Guarantee you that's exactly where this is going........
