Terrorism

Republicans Palling Around With Terrorists

Rudy Giuliani and Michael Mukasey met with a terrorist group in -- shock horror! -- France!

But on December 23, a group of leading conservatives -- including Rudy Giuliani and former Bush officials Michael Mukasey, Tom Ridge, and Fran Townsend -- did exactly that. In Paris, of all places, they appeared at a forum organized by supporters of the Mujaheddin-e Khalq (MEK) -- a group declared by the U.S. since 1997 to be "terrorist organization" -- and expressed wholesale support for that group.

Imagine if that had been Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders. Imagine the screeching throughout wingnuttia. Palin would have already tweeted four or five incomprehensible tween girl blurbs about it. Cable news would spend the next two weeks piecing it apart. Dogs and cats would be sleeping together. Mass hysteria. #Venkman
