This is what Grover Norquist saw outside his Wednesday meeting
Edited on Fri Sep-23-05 12:03 PM by BurtWorm


The billboard created by Working Assets and the League of Independent Voters -- and inspired and funded by the DailyKos community -- landed on Grover Norquist's doorstep at 1920 L St. this morning just in time for his infamous weekly "Wednesday meeting" of the conservative elite.

7. This absolutely pleased Norquist to no end. He doesn't care nor think
government should care for ANY of those hurricane victims!!!!

Republican ideology has always been based on greed. And government's only purpose is for the corporations and the military. The use of the military for corporate imperialism...Republicans have never been there for the workers or the middle class, republicans have never believed government should ever be there for the people.

Republican ideology has ALWAYS been, that people should fend for themselves, without any help from government (no Social Security, unemployment insurance, no minimum wage no health care, etc)...However, it's fine for government to assist and hand out huge corporate subsidies, (corporate welfare)!

8. Fabulous! Norquist won't care
because he is a sociopath. Voters might. I hope this thing gets in front of the cameras already gathering for the protest tomorrow.

15. I fear any cameras gathering for protest w/be shut out by hurricane
coverage 24/7 all weekend long.

We will hear little to nothing about the DC protests - much less see anything but evacuees and floodwaters now.

9. Norquist is like the BTK killer - He LOVES the attention
Grover is such a sociopath he will think this is wonderful.

However, it is a marvelous display that illustrates the depravity of Bush & Co. so I think it is great for it to be out there. Maybe it will jar some of that group-think that DCers engage in.

12. DC is just as Bad as NO in the inequality in both of the two cities.

Most of Dc is really poor & hidden from the official picture of our Nation's Capitol.

11. This is guerilla marketing and it is something we all can do. I am the...
media when I flyer cars, utility poles, bus stop shelters or hand flyers to people on the street. And they only cost 4 cents each.

14. That's great, but I expect they will view this as a victory.
I doubt they see the Katrina catasrophe (or the last 5 years for that matter) as a bad thing.

16. Whatever Happened to the Norquist-Abdurahman Alamoudi Terrorist Story?
http://www.msnbc.com/news/984616.asp?cp1=1
John Loftus on Countdown with Keith, Oct. 23, 2003:

"About a year-and-a-half ago, people in the intelligence community came and said-guys like Alamoudi and Sami al-Arian and other terrorists weren't being touched because they'd been ordered not to investigate the cases, not to prosecute them, because there were being funded by the Saudis and a political decision was being made at the highest levels, don't do anything that would embarrass the Saudi government. So, of course I immediately volunteered to do it and I filed a lawsuit, against al-Arian charging him with being a major terrorist for Islamic Jihad, most of his money came from Saudi charities in Virginia.
Now, Alamoudi's headquarters were in the same place, he was raided the same day, on March 20. An hour after I filed my lawsuit, the U.S. government finally got off its butt and they raided these offices. And, the stuff that they're taking out of there now is absolutely horrendous. Al-Arian has now, finally been indicted, an along with Alamoudi, today.
But, who was it that fixed the cases? How could these guys operate for more than a decade immune from prosecution? And, the answer is coming out in a very strange place. What Alamoudi and al-Arian have in common is a guy named Grover Norquist. He's the super lobbyist. Newt Gingrich's guy, the one the NRA calls on, head of American taxpayers. He is the guy that was hired by Alamoudi to head up the Islamic institute and he's the registered agent for Alamoudi, personally, and for the Islamic Institute.
Grover Norquist's best friend is Karl Rove, the White House chief of staff, and apparently Norquist was able to fix things. He got extreme right wing Muslim people to be the gatekeepers in the White House. That's why moderate Americans couldn't speak out after 9/11. Moderate Muslims couldn't get into the White House because Norquist's friends were blocking their access."

17. I used this meme in my LTTE that my congressman didn't like.
Here's the letter.

Here's how I know I struck a nerve. He called me at home.

Here's where they ripped him apart in Roll Call, a DC gossip column.
