The Tea Party activists, who claim they are anti-establishment, are actually very establishment, after all.  So establishment that they’ve embraced the same anti-Semitic, Israel-hating, Islamo-panderers that the conservative movement has embraced.  No, I’m not talking about Sarah Palin telling FOX News’ Chris Wallace that she takes the advice of Hitler-fan Pat Buchanan’s syndicated columns (she did say that).

Jack Abramoff and Grover Norquist: 1/2 of the Islamo-Sleazebag-a-Palooza Goes to Prison. The Other Half is in the Tea Party.

I’m talking about Grover Norquist,  whose Americans for Tax Reform is a major sponsor of the Tea Party launch event, Tea Party Patriots’ manifesto, at today’s start of CPAC (the Conservative Political Action Conference).  Norquist bragged to Politico that he is behind the tea party activists’ presence at CPAC.  That’s braggadocio the tea party people would run away from if they truly abhor anti-Semitism, anti-Israel activism, and Muslim extremism.  But they aren’t running the other way.  They are embracing Norquist.  And Norquist isn’t just embraced by Tea Partiers in Washington or in town for CPAC, but by key Tea Party leaders, organizers, and activists in every state, whom he’s traveled to meet and who also embrace him and ask him for guidance.

Many in the know refer to his organization as “Arabs for Tax Reform,” for good reason.  Even Norquist’s ATR business cards are bilingual, with everything in Arabic on the flip side (or perhaps the main, with English on the flip side).

Norquist, a founder and board member of the Islamic Institute (which operated out of his offices), was on the take from Gulf state emirates and laundered money for his buddy Jack Abramoff.  At Islamic Institute (which operated out of Abramoff’s Americans for Tax Reform offices), he employed Khalid Saffuri, an admitted funder of “the martyrs”–he adopted HAMAS homicide bombers’ families and funded them.  And Norquist and Islamic Institute accepted cash from several “charities” which laundered money for the Saudi government to Al-Qaeda. Norquist got a top Bush White House job for Suhail Khan, whose father, Mahboob Khan, twice brought Al-Qaeda biggie Ayman Al-Zawahiri into the country to raise money for Al-Qaeda at the elder Khan’s mosque. The younger Khan proceeded to invite extremist Muslim clerics, such as one who described Jews as a “dirty little tribe,” to hang out with President Bush.

And then there is my own experience with the Islamic McCarthyism that is the Norquist brand:

Go, granny, go. This 75-year-old woman is fearless.  Some reports say that her attack on the robber slowed him and, therefore, helped police catch him.

More evidence that Pajamas Media is neither to be taken seriously nor believed.   First, I told you about the lie-filled video about Detroit by lazy punk (and anti-Semite) Steven Crowder.  He completely pulled “facts” out of his butt and made up things like “bear sightings” in Detroit.  Now, there’s Richard Pollock, PJM’s Washington Bureau Chief.

Today, he has what he claims is an “exclusive” on Janet Napolitano’s meeting, last month, with a group of Muslim extremists (he says it’s Muslims tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, but in fact, it’s many noxious Muslim and Arab groups) and other ethno-centric activists (and, of course, PJM’s slobbering former advertising partner, Michelle Fraudkin, regurgitates this “exclusive” BS).  Problem is, it’s not exclusive at all.  It’s old news, and something I covered on this site the day after it happened.  Schlussel Flashback:

Terrif: DHS Chieftess Recruits Muslim Extremists to Combat . . . Muslim Extremism?! – January 29, 2010, – 4:04 pm

And to make matters worse, Richard Pollock displays that he’s really not much of a competent journalist. Like his PJM colleague Steven Crowder, his phony faux-“exclusive” claims that the names of the organizations and participants in the Napolitano meeting aren’t available because Homeland Security refused to disclose them. Uh, hello . . . ? If you read my entry on the event, not only did I disclose some of the names and the organizations, but some of the Muslim and other organizations who participated also disclosed all of the participants in their own statements. Check out this press release, which discloses the names of all the organizations and the individuals representing them who were at the meeting.

I’ve cut and pasted, above, for the incompetent and research-challenged (that means you, Richard). And note that the Bush Administration–particularly Napolitano’s predecessor, Michael Chertoff–met with and welcomed all the same groups and people. New boss same as the old boss. (To those with the “miss me yet?” Bush signs, no, I don’t miss him. He wasn’t much better–or different–than Obama and I wish both were long gone.)

Amidst the news of the fake passports and photos of HAMAS assassins in Dubai and Dubai’s announcement that it will only pay back 60% of its loans (over 7 years), another Dubai story has fallen by the wayside:  that of Israeli tennis player Shahar Pe’er playing in this year’s Dubai Tennis Championships.

Shahar Pe’er: Jewish Minstrel Show Participant @ Dubai Tennis Championships

Dubai Judenrein . . . Except for Tennis Pros

Longtime readers know my views on this.  And they haven’t changed.  Although I didn’t like that Pe’er–a miserable Israeli lefty wimpette–was excluded from last year’s tournament, I thought it was actually more honest than to allow her to play, as she has in years past and in this week’s Dubai tourney.  It’s little more than a Jewish Israeli minstrel show in a country that regularly practices travel, visa, and entry apartheid against Jews and Jewish Israelis.  Pe’er was only allowed to play because of last year’s bad publicity, when she wasn’t allowed.  But there is, sadly, no bad publicity over Dubai’s (and the other Gulf states’) everyday Judenrein policy for everyone else who isn’t a famous tennis player.

The fact remains that none of Pe’er’s Jewish countrymen can enter Dubai with their Israeli passports.  And none of her fellow non-Israeli Jews can enter Dubai if they have Israeli stamps on their passports issued by nations.  That’s not the case for Arabs or Muslims who are frequently allowed into the emirate with both Israeli passports and Israeli stamps on their passports.  This isn’t anti-Israel.  It’s anti-Semitic.  And Jews are Dubai’s target.  Moreover, Dubai openly participates in the Arab Boycott of Israel and won’t do business with corporations with ties to Israel.

Readers won’t be at all shocked by the latest news coming out about the Dubai assassin team who served as the “cleaners” of top HAMAS official Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh a/k/a Mahmoud Abdel-Raouf Mohammed Hassan a/k/a “Abu Abed.”  In fact, yesterday, several readers figured it out:  that the passports and names of the assassins were fakes.  That’s why I put them in quotation marks in the headline of my entry.  Only lazy, fat, oil-rich Muslims wouldn’t figure out that the names–which sounded like the cast of characters in an English porn film–were phony.  Too busy looking for Israeli passport stamps and the JOOOS to pay attention.

Alhamdillullah [Praise allah]: The Complete “Abu Abed” Hit Team

Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh a/k/a Abu Abed, Now with the 72 Re-Virginized

And we’re also learning more details that point to this especially professional and clean job being the work of the Israelis, who did a great service to the world, if–as it seems–they performed the “clean-up job.”

The U.K. and several other European countries said that passports used by 11 suspects wanted in connection with the killing of a senior Hamas leader in Dubai had been faked.

. . . Why she had to be artificially inseminated to have the 14 kids.  Oh, and to make matters worse, because of this the Game Show Network is considering making this Palestinian specimen the host of a new edition of “The Dating Game.”  Great move.  It’ll double or triple the channel’s zero viewers.

. . . Nancy Kerrigan.  Yup, her.  All last week, Kerrigan was doing tearful “exclusive” interviews with Entertainment Tonight anchor Mary Hart, then right after each one, she and Hart promoted her upcoming appearances this week, as ET’s “Special Olympic correspondent,” which sounds like Special Olympics, more than it sounds like she’s a special correspondent (please Sarah Palin fanatics, don’t send me hate-mail for noting this).

It was sooooo tacky:  Sob, sob, my father died, sob, sob.  Now, watch me all next week as I give you ditzy reports from Vancouver because I’m no longer a hot commodity on the ice.

And here’s an example of her moronic reports. This is grieving? Nauseating.

As some readers know, in my previous career, I was a sports agent and, among my clients were several Olympic athletes in individual (not team) sports.  I saw how spoiled some of them were and how their siblings were neglected as their families spent all of their time, money, and other resources for the “champ” in the family.  Given this, I’m not at all surprised at the mental and violence problems suffered by Nancy Kerrigan’s brother and that he’s now accused of causing their father’s death.  Not saying that excuses anything, if he’s at fault. Still, this is the kind of dysfunction that happens in those families . . . the Olympic families, in far too many cases.

And, geez, the Kerrigan interviews about her just-deceased father tied in to self-promotion on ET was just maudlin and tacky beyond belief.  Low class, all the way.

Wow, someone wake me when the juice and excessive hype from that knee-clubbing well over a decade ago, finally wears off. Man, Tonya Harding deserves a commission.

Longtime and recent readers know my feelings about the Olympics.  Not only don’t I care, but I despise the Olympics for what it’s turned into and who it won’t memorialize.  I wrote about it on Friday and also many times over the years.

But that doesn’t stop the aggressive PR flacks from Team USA and the US Olympic Committee from constantly beseeching me to gush over them on this site.  You’d think that my first lack of response to their e-mails would be a hint.  But it isn’t.  So, I had to respond forcefully and bluntly.  Below is my e-mail response to the Team USA people, followed by a couple of their publicist’s e-mails:

I am not interested in the slightest in promoting the spoiled prima donnas of Team USA.  Clearly, you are not familiar with my work.  If you were, you would know that I’m sickened that the IOC still has refused to memorialize the Israeli athletes.  And Team USA is a huge part of that b/c the USOC–on which the athletes in Team USA have a voting rep–refuses to push the issue and simply doesn’t care.  I’m also disgusted that there isn’t a single true amateur on Team USA.  Here’s just a tiny sample of what I think about the Olympics in specific and Team USA in general:

Here’s yet another example of why criminal trials in New York–or anywhere–for Islamic terrorists has a pretty good chance of complete, epic failure.  I’ve told you about Zulqarnain Abdu-Shahid, an Islamic prison imam caught sneaking box-cutter blades into a New York Department of Corrections prison.

Well, he got away with it because an O. J. Simpson-style grand jury just couldn’t come to the obvious conclusion that he did anything wrong.  And remember, this is a grand jury, not a jury.  As they always say, you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, because the standard for admitting evidence (there isn’t one in a grand jury) is very low, as is the threshold for indictment.  It’s a 50/50 chance or perhaps even better that, for example, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad would get such a group of incompetents in his jury.

A grand jury declined Tuesday to indict a Muslim chaplain accused of trying to smuggle razor blades and scissors into a jail, spurring his release without bail while the case continues.

I’m not surprised by any of this, since we know that Muslims in the prisons and those who convert to Islam there are pulled into even more uber-radicalism by the Saudi-funded, ISNA/CAIR-enabled prison imams. And as for the radical head imam in the New York prisons, Umar Abdul-Jalil, there’s been a lot of great recent reporting on him and his assistant, Zulqarnain Abdu-Shahid, by New York Post investigative reporter Reuven Blau, some of which I noted on this site–about Muslim imams smuggling box-cutter blades inside the prisons.

Still this is terrific and brave reporting by WPIX-TV/Channel 11 News’ Mary Murphy, who has the guts to do what most mainstream media do not–calling out Islamic extremism and favoritism for Islamic killers (like Rabbi Meir Kahane’s murderer and 1993 WTC plotter El-Sayyid Nosair and Rashid Baz) in the prisons, and how Muslims are able to continue jihadist terror from within and from behind bars.  I disagree with her on one thing, though: the federal Supermax prison in Colorado isn’t exactly secure, either, as I’ve noted on this site.  1993 World Trade Center terrorists, incarcerated there, were able to recruit terrorists in Spain from behind the bars of that prison, through letters and, even, newspaper ads they placed.  Kudos for retired NYPD detective Jim Murphy and retired New York State Corrections Deputy Inspector General Patrick Dunleavy for speaking out, too.  Bolshoyeh Spasiba [Russian for “Thank You Very Much”] to reader Misha for sending the video.
