| Guess who’s giving money to Cynthia McKinney? |

| Found via Damian Penny: Cynthia McKinney’s Arab and Islamist Donors: We all knew that Cynthia McKinney would be drawing on Arab and Muslim supporters in her bid to return to Congress, but a listing of contributors (with information up through June 28) reveals to what an extraordinary extent this is the case, as shown by the names of her backers. Of particular note is the who’s who of radical organizations her donors are associated with. Long list of Allanist donors snipped; highly recommend reading the well-documented link. Such an outpouring of extremist support comes as no shock; as Erick Stakelbeck documents in today’s New York Post, "McKinney has long associated with militant Islamic groups whose members have openly supported terrorism," plus "she has taken to the floor of the House to defend them." [Daniel Pipes’] Comment: Georgia holds its primary on July 20; should McKinney win it, as seems likely, radical Arab and Muslim causes will have achieved their first significant electoral victory in the United States. |
