Weiner roasted for accepting cash from Al Jazeera lobbyist
Anthony Weiner is a dangerous demagogue. He is hardly talented or smart enough to be considered Machiavellian, but it is surely what he aspires to. He is married to Huma Abedin, who grew up in Saudi Arabia and has Muslim Brotherhood ties.
Jihad murder mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has praised Al Jazeera, and several years ago one of its most prominent reporters was arrested on terror charges. Al Jazeera also has, for years, been the recipient of numerous al-Qaida videos featuring Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and American traitor Adam Gadahn. Yet it never seems to be able to trace where these videos are coming from. It has repeatedly been set up at the point of attack right before a bomb went off so it could take the picture of the slaughtered, dismembered bodies.
Al Jazeera has provided material support for jihad terrorism. A number of people in its employ are members of al-Qaida. Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Afghanistan, who interviewed Osama bin Laden, was sent to prison for being an agent of al-Qaida. Al Jazeera’s first managing director was exposed as an agent of the Saddam Hussein regime, and the channel promoted the bloody jihad against American forces in Iraq.
Did Huma press Weiner into taking this cash?

More of the Leftist/jihadist alliance: if Al Gore can sell Current TV to Jihad TV, why can't Weiner accept money from them? Probably his wife thought it was a terrific idea. "More heat on Weiner over ‘Jazeera’ cash," by Sally Goldenberg for the New York Post, July 20:
Oy! Jewish leaders are kvetching over Anthony Weiner’s accepting campaign cash from a lobbyist for Al Jazeera — Osama bin Laden’s favorite TV network.
City Councilman Lew Fidler (D-Brooklyn), who has endorsed former city Comptroller Bill Thompson’s mayoral bid, called on rival candidate Weiner to return the $4,950 donation to lobbyist John Merrigan.
“Al Jazeera and its lobbyists are no friends to New York City or our Jewish community, and Anthony shouldn’t accept their support,” Fidler said. “They have spread hate and lies against Jews, not only here in New York but across the world. The right thing to do is to give this money back. Anthony should do exactly that.”
Although Weiner is the only Jew in the crowded Democratic field for mayor, and often touts his support of Israel, Thompson is aggressively courting the Orthodox Jewish community.
Assemblyman Alan Maisel, a Brooklyn Democrat who has endorsed Thompson, also chastised Weiner for taking the contribution from Merrigan, who has done extensive work with the network accused of being anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and anti-United States.
Bin Laden often leaked his propaganda tapes to the Qatar-based network, which aired several of his taped messages just months after 9/11.
“Anthony Weiner should know better than to accept contributions from friends [at] Al Jazeera, which has been a voice for terrorists and spewed hatred against Jews and the state of Israel,” Maisel said. “They have echoed and attempted to legitimize hate speech about wiping Israel off the map. It’s disgraceful.
“While I respect Anthony, he has done wrong by accepting this terror-tainted money. Now he should do the right thing: return it.”
Shea Rubenstein, president of the Jewish Community Council of Marine Park, echoed the call.
“Our community has always promoted tolerance, and I have known Anthony Weiner as a congressman who has upheld that value.
“That’s why I am deeply saddened and concerned that he would accept money from a lobbyist for Al Jazeera,” said Rubenstein, who has not made an endorsement in the race.
“I hope that Anthony will do the right thing by returning this money and maintain sensitivity to Jewish people and families across the city.”
Weiner declined to comment....
