These are NOT the same video.
[There are] … transcripts of a guy named Jerry Boykin, retired general and a guy named Frank Gaffney explaining their cockamamy conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton had secretly rigged the Egyptian elections to favor the Muslim brotherhood. people in Egypt read that. They did not know the people who were talking were wing nut right wing conspiracy theorists.
Those same right wing nut jobs have also said that Anthony Weiner’s wife, was an instrument of the Muslim Brotherhood. They also asserted that if the US passed any immigration reform, “we’d all be wearing ragheads.” What do you expect from a group that says Roe vs. Wade is Sharia law?
You don’t have to go to the Middle East to hear crazy talk.
Meanwhile, after the series of blunders by Mitt Romney as he desperately tried to comment on foreign policy, the Republicans plop their appointed 2nd in command down in the middle of all this?
What were they thinking? There aren’t that many stupid Americans and there isn’t enough tin foil.

On a stage with Gaffney and Boykin is the problem?
Two words: Bill Ayers.
When she realizes that certain candidates are friends with ACTUAL terrorists….then I’ll stop calling her a hack.
Oh sweet Jesus–Cargo is at it again–I’m gonna go out and start looking for the black helicopters! And of course, I’ll be on the lookout for Bill Ayers. Ayers is now a distinguished professor at the University of Chicago. Yes, he was a left wing radical 40 years ago but I guess if we lived by Cargo’s rules, once guilty, always guilty. Remember where the so called “friendship theory regarding President Obama and Bill Ayers came up–Sean Hannity (he who speaks only the truth) brought it up and the George Stephanopoulos brought it up again during an Obama/Clinton debate. And, of course, John McCain and his trusty sidekick Sarah Palin parroted oit arond the nation during campaign speeches. I’m guessing the next thing Cargo is going to bring up is either: A. President Obama was not born in the U.S. or B. He secretly is a Muslim or C. maybe both.
When Christ was asked if a woman caught in an adulterous act should be stoned to death according to Mosaic law, He supposedly said, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
Cargo is still throwing stones although it has NEVER been shown that President Obama had a close association with Bill Ayers. How many times does President Obama have to say he did not have a close association with Ayers? WATCH OUT–Cargo is picking up another stone!
I don’t think Cargo is a birther. He has told me he is not.
Frank Gaffney also has a long-standing war against the owner of most of the Republican Party, Grover Norquist, for what Gaffney claims is Norquist’s secret Muslim Brotherhood agenda (and perhaps destroying the American economy and dividing the country into far-right versus everyone else as Norquist has done is a pretty good strategy to advance that agenda). If you believe Gaffney (and many influential right-wingers do), having Hillary Clinton and Grover Norquist united on a common goal of advancing the Muslim Brotherhood agenda is stranger than Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich shoulder to shoulder on a couch outside the capitol united in their effort to fight climate change.

@Cargosquid
I wonder what Rachel would call YOU, Cargo?
You need a reason to call names? Don’s call her a hack on this blog, please. She is one of the more respectful commentators in the field. She is one of the few who will own up to making a mistake.
Bill Ayers is old news. REAL old. That makes for a poor argument. Those of us who are contemporaries of Ayers aren’t horribly shocked. He was a young revolutionary. I knew several people who might fit that description. At any rate, that was about 45-50 years ago. Many people are full of ideals when they are young. I would look at what he did with his life after those young, rebellious times. You have him locked into a timewarp from 45 years ago.
I think he has channeled that energy into doing other creative things with his life. I believe in allowing people, especially from that area, a chance to redirect. Those were strange times. Maybe some time I will con Censored into doing a running commentary with me regarding the era.
For the record, Ayers doesn’t see himself as a terrorist. I don’t see him as one either. I would have been afraid to associate with him in 1969, probably. Now, i would not have a problem in the world associating with him. He has also done a lot of good with his life.
There is also strong evidence that this dude who gave up terrorism for Jesus never was a terrorist.
@Moon-howler
I simpy suggested it might be something he would bring up.
@George S. Harris
No close association….well, except for all the evidence of close association. But, I won’t bring it up since A) it won’t change your mind b) this isn’t a thread for it.
And no, I’m not a birther. I think he was born in Hawaii. But…nice try.
@Moon-howler
Rachel would probably call me a right wing nut job. As for ol’ Billy…did those OTHER revolutionaries bomb people and then, years later, admit that they are NOT repentant. That they still think that it was the right thing to do?
@Cargo, I think that is a gross over-simplification of that Bill Ayers has said. What difference does it make? It doesn’t. It is only being used as something to hang on Obama. Yawn.
I wouldn’t have liked Bill Ayers in 1972. That was then. This is now. People change.
Repent? This isn’t church.
