Former Republican tied to Rezko swtiches sides: backs Obama, terrorists in Iraq
Via the Jawa, the Hudson Institute’s Nibras Kazimi has drilled into the story of Chicago Iraqi-American Ayham Alsammarae, who as the Iraqi electricity minister brokered deals in Iraq for Tony Rezko. But he breaks through the initial layers of mere opportunistic sleaze and shadiness and strikes a gusher of something really grotesque:
In an astounding and blatantly treasonous assertion for a U.S. citizenship holder, he stated that “the [insurgency] in Iraq is a legitimate resistance [movement] and it is against occupation and any resistance in the world against occupation is considered legitimate, and I hope that the [insurgency] continues and avenges the Iraqi people and I look forward to expanding its political agenda.”
Read the whole thing–there’s a lot more in that single post–and tell people about it. For some, the most interesting hook here is that he has donated the maximum amount to the Obamessiah, although I’m starting to wonder whether the people that are paying attention to this guy are burning out on new revelations of terrorists, extremists, tyrants, socialists, and their advocates answering his altar call.
Though the details of Alsammarae’s betrayal are stomach turning and newsworthy, I’m no longer surprised at these things. If a bin Laden tape comes out tomorrow singing “I’ma vote Obama-way”, it would no longer be new information to me. Yeah, we get it. People who want to see America humbled and defeated reliably and continually advocate Obama. Something about his presidency, they think, will bring more success to their nefarious plans and fulfill their interests.
Hey, maybe they’re wrong about him. Maybe they’re just crazy. But I think that sort of dismissal underestimates their intelligence.* FARC, Hamas, the Weather Underground, Castro, and this joker are all politically sophisticated survivors. I don’t think they’re on the bandwagon just because Jessica Alba looked hot in those Will.I.Am videos.
What does surprise me is that there are a bunch of conservatives who shrug at this cascade of revelations as pointless gotchas. Yes, Obama has extremist supporters, but that doesn’t mean he’s got anything in common with them. Plus hey, McCain has Hagee.
Me, I think there’s something about Obama that draws the support of elements who want to see America fail. Some are serious threats, some are not. But shouldn’t we as a nation be figuring out what that something is?
P.S.: Not only do Alsammarae and Obama share a connection with Tony Rezko, they also share a taste in movies. Here he is explaining his improbable escape from an Iraqi prison (where he was held on corruption charges) in 2006:
When asked how he could have pulled off such an escape, Mr. Alsammarae, who moved to Chicago in 1976 but returned to Iraq just after the invasion, laughed uproariously for 20 seconds. Then, recycling a famous line from an exchange about Al Capone in “The Untouchables,” Mr. Alsammarae said with undisguised glee: “The Chicago way.”

More at Gateway Pundit. More still, about Alsammarae bailing out Rezko, at Pat Dollard.

*Let me not overestimate the intelligence and integrity of the Leftist commentariat here: because I have pointed out that terrorists and tyrants support Obama, it does not follow logically that everyone who supports Obama is a terrorist. Or even that everyone supports Obama also supports tyrants and terrorists. Or even that Obama himself reciprocates the support. So please don’t pretend that I said that.

Dude should date Jane Fonda…
…almost want to tar and feather this guy.
Alsammarae HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM:
Is he a follower of Islam? you kno…. The religion of peace.
Does he belong to the Nation Of Islam (Farrakhan’s (sp) group)?
I guess it will be bus time soon for this guy. I am sure bho will give the campaign money he received to charity also.
L
..know
Obama will the the terrorist’s soul…man.
He’s a sunni
Is there room under the bus for this one?
Even Quisling only betrayed one country.
Heh…have you seen Quisling’s posters?
I want to do a post about the similarities some day, but it will look like I’m trying to call Obama a Quisling when I’m really just trying to point out his creepy fascist-personalistic campaign style.
But I’ll have to work that in some day.
Can somebody in the Secret Service make sure that Alsammarae just happens to be on BHO’s aircraft when he makes his pre-election day visit to Iraq? I’m sure the Iraqis would like to get him back.
Wow! see-dubya you were not kidding about the similarities. Change the NORGE to HOPE and you have a close second to the Soviet style posters too. A fascist by any other name would be just as oppressive. Why am not surprised by this new revelation of what is quickly becoming the typical anti-American Obamasiah supporter.
Everyday I get more and more fired up for the John McCain presidency. My knee tingles whenever he flashes that smile.
J S Ragman, you may just have something there, he is technically a fugitive, no?
See Dubya, this is really not surprising. These big wigs from Illinois need Obama to get elected. If not, Resko sings taking out major leaders in the Republican Party.
Hell, Resko begged to start serving his time in jail, which is very odd.
Thank you for posting the link to the pro-Obama video. That evidence of the mindless fascistic movement he represents should be enough to repel any sane human being.

Maybe not. I read the rest of the article linked above, and the slimebag seems to think he is covered by the new Iraqi amnesty law.
Although, knowing what a long tradition the “rule of law” enjoys in Iraq, he may be toast if he ever goes back.
Hey, see_dubya! Time to break out the monster bus again.
Good and bad associations are both to be found in almost anyones background … especially those in public life … but in Obama’s case there seems to be a new episode of the “Never-Ending Story” every other day … eventually the preponderance of these questionable ties outnumbering multi-fold the good associations has got to take hold and wake people up …
I repeat: Juan McShame will destroy the Republican party; CHillary would have destroyed her enemies; but B-Hussein will destroy America. “You know a man’s character by his friends” – - an adage to keep foremost in your mind these days.
Jessica Alba is hot but not very politically astute.
Pastor Hagee is NOT AN EXTREMIST! He is an evangelical Christian who founded Christians United For Israel. He is not a Jew Basher or a Catholic basher – this was blown up in the media and presented that way to try to make him equivalent to Wright et al! I have seen the entire sermons in question and they are greatly misrepresented. If someone is not a Christian and is especially not one who looks to the future return of Christ and those end-time prophecies, he/she will have little to no understanding of his statements. It really tees me off when anyone tries to compare Hagee or even Parsley to Wright, Meeks or the great Father Michael of St Sabina!
I believe your headline should read “Former Iraqi Republican Guard tied to Rezko swtiches sides: backs Obama, terrorists in Iraq”
My bad. I confused this corrupt, treasonous Obamassiah supporter with something else I read earlier today. Any truth that he is a former Republican? Seems to me he fits the profile (oops, bad word) of the Party of Treason and Ineffectiveness.
I think this is the biggest scandal yet to come out regarding Obama. I hope it at least gets some coverage in the MSM.
TN Conservative–yeah, just not the same, is it?
davenp35–yep.
It doesn’t surprise me, DL…”Birds of a feather, hang together.”
If you surround yourself with sh*tbirds, no one will know who stinks the most.
“I…, er.., uh…, umm…, it isn’t me!”
“He didn’t smell when I first knew him!”
“I can’t vett everyone who likes me!”
et cetera, et cetera.
That’s what worries me the most. There are too many “coincidental” endorsements by terrorists, too many “G** damn America types, too many “get out of Iraq before we win and Bush looks prescient” types, and too many “got a good deal on a mortgage or land” types.
Too bad McCain won’t be smart enough to point it out.
Most of the Old Testament Prophets were hated by the Israelites because the prophets would tell the Jews they had to get right with the Lord and many didn’t want to change their sinful lives. No different with Rev. Hagee, because most in this nation doesn’t want to believe or change their life style either. The bible has many warnings of what is to come. I agee with TNConservative totally.
fishing for a pardon if obama takes power?
I have a good friend who is conservative politically as well as theologically. He is against gay marriage, he is against abortion especially partial-birth abortion, most things liberals are for he’s against. He is also black. All he can see in Obama is the color of his skin. He doesnt care what Obama stands for or what he represents, all he can see is a black man is running for president. I sent him a link to a story about Hamas endorsing Ombama. He wanted to know what I was trying to say. I told him, only that the country’s enemies want Obama for president. He’s still an Obama man. Kind of sad.
