Terrorist Fundraisers for Obama

Posted on April 23, 2008

Two years ago, Hatem El-Hady was the chairman of the Toledo, Ohio-based Islamic charity, Kindhearts, which was closed by the US government in February 2006 for terrorist fundraising and all its assets frozen. Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest cause - Barack Obama for President…..

“KindHearts is the progeny of Holy Land Foundation and Global Relief Foundation, which attempted to mask their support for terrorism behind the façade of charitable giving,” said Stuart Levey, Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

Not only was Kindhearts engaged in providing funds for HAMAS in Lebanon and the West Bank, it had hired as a fundraising specialist the man identified as the designated HAMAS bag man in the US, Mohammed El-Mezain.

Check it out! He’s got his own personal page at Obama’s official website, and listed as a friend is Michelle Obama!

Rusty at Jawa Report:

I dunno, it seems like if el-Hady was close enough to the Obamas that Michelle would go out of her way to specifically add herself as a “friend” that el-Hady would have a lot more friends than three.

But that’s just me and I don’t want to believe this even if it is the horrible truth.

Nevertheless, this is part of a general pattern: those who support terrorism also support Obama. Obama isn’t responsible for every scumbag that supports him, but his stated goal of withdrawing from Iraq meshes perfectly with those of al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations; and for a guy like el-Hady, his stated willingness to talk to the terrorists in Hamas and their paymasters in Iran, Obama would definitely be the candidate of choice.

Terrorists and their supporters tend to view Obama as a man willing to give them at least some of what they want.

Gateway Pundit reports more on this pattern….Gazans rally for Obama!

Jules Crittenden sums things up for me:

Once again guilty by association? Well, I am one of those people who believe that if you want to know a man, you can look at whom he associates with. Obviously, one doesn’t get the impression that Obama considers this terrorist supporter to be a friend (perhaps one can say the opposite about his wife Michelle, more on that in a minute), but now that media have reported about this man, Obama should distance himself immediately from him. Leading politicians simply have no business getting money from terrorists or those who sympathize with them.

Indeed. If you want to be the POTUS…its wise to actually distance yourself from the enemy…not take money from them or be friends with them.

Wow, you guys really understand the internet. It took me 5 minutes to make my own webpage on Obama’s site. I’m now a fundraiser too! It’s that f’ing easy! Got to http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/main/suckorrun
and donate to help elect our next president.
