A Troubling Influence (or, "Wingnut Right Turns on Grover Norquist")
Edited on Tue Dec-09-03 01:59 PM by johnfunk
"I am posting this article, which is the most complete documentation extant of Grover Norquist’s activities in behalf of the Islamist Fifth Column. I have confronted Grover about these issues and have talked to others who have done likewise."
-- David Whorewitz

The full article is just up at Whorewitz's Fascist-leaning Front Page Magazine Web site. Click here, then sit back and watch the mud fly on the hard right.

This oughts be fun.

PS: It's worth noting that about six years ago, American Politrics Journal's Jeff Koopersmith, a centrist-liberal Democrat, wrote a scathing article about the ethics-challenged Norquist asking why nobody on the right was questioning his lobbying on behalf of the Marxist government of Seychelles (UPDATE: here's the link). For years, the radical establishment right has been silent about Norquist, and I was honestly surprised to see this article.

1. It makes sense
if you understand that like most of his ilk, Grover is a whore. He'll do anything for money, and these people ponied up for him. Unless he's a closet anti-semite, he'd probably shill for Likud just as hard if they'd gotten to him first.
Speaking of which, I wonder how this plays with the PNACers, several of whom are Jewish. They probably don't care, being whores themselves.

2. I'd say Grover Norquist is perhaps...
The "Most Dangerous Man in America" right now, for all the policy infulence he has over Dub, Cheney and "Chip" Rove. More so than Grumpy Rummy, more even than Neo-Cons like Wolfowitz and Perle; more than Tom Delay (even though the Evil Bug Man has an actual VOTE in Congress). This guy wants to EVISCERATE the U.S. Social Safety Net TOTALLY; setting us back over 100 years--and he's proud of that fact, to boot!:mad:

His influence over Dub is perhaps Reason #1 why we need to evict Dub out of his squattage of the White House next year--more even than those Neo-Cons and their PNAC brain-washing of Dub (though, clearly, that's Reason #2).

B-)

6. I think there is a lot of resentment among the Reich wingers about the
huge amount of influence the Alpha Tax Cut Monkey has right now. His Wednesday morning meetings have gotten a little ugly at times in the last few months.

7. War in heaven.
The will to power as played out among the ethically bankrupt.
It is about might on the Right, not about who is right.
So now the anti-semites will be hacking the pro-semites. One thing to bear in mind here is that the Israelis have no oil.

So given a choice of hard Right bully boys, they go with the oil.
