This is a long simmering and long overdue condemnation of ATR’s Grover Norquist:
Wolf, who has also been active on terrorism issues for many years, then ticked off a host of criticisms:
One, Mr. Norquist’s relationship with Jack Abramoff. Mr. Abramoff essentially laundered money through ATR and Mr. Norquist knew it.
Two, his association and representation of terrorist financier and vocal Hamas supporter Abdurahman Alamoudi. He also is associated with terrorist financier Sami Al-Arian, who pled guilty in 2006 to conspiring to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Three, Mr. Norquist’s lobbying on behalf of Fannie Mae.
Four, Mr. Norquist’s representation of the Internet gambling industry.
Five, Mr. Norquist’s advocacy of moving Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States, including 9/11 mastermind Khaled Sheik Mohammed.“Simply put,” Wolf summarized, “I believe Mr. Norquist is connected with or has profited from a number of unsavory people and groups out of the mainstream.”
This has been an ongoing fight within the Washington Beltway conservative movement, whether it has been CPAC, moving now to the Weyrich Lunch, and now moving onto the floor of the U.S. House.
Most of what is public available will shock fiscal and social conservatives. At the end of the string, there’s a dollar bill — and Muslim money (even from susceptible sources) spends just as well as your money.
Grover Norquist has some ‘splainin to do.
