RICHARD PERLE SUPPORTS TERRORISM
2004-01-28
Justin Raimondo, Antiwar.com
He is the author of a book that criticizes the U.S. government for being too soft on terrorism. He was an advocate of invading Iraq - and most of the other Arab countries in the Middle East - long before 9/11. He wants us to give up a lot of our civil liberties, including submitting to a national ID card, and he’s taken to the hustings promoting an approach to the "war on terrorism" that’s more royalist than the king. His name is Richard Perle, and he’s one of the leading and certainly one of the most visible neoconservatives in Washington, D.C., whose combative style and clear contempt for his opponents has earned him the sobriquet "Prince of Darkness."

He is also a supporter of terrorism. Why else would he have agreed to speak at a January 24 fundraiser, billed as "A Night of Solidarity," supposedly to raise money for Iranian earthquake victims - an event sponsored by groups that have links to the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), listed by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization? MEK is a formerly Marxist group with odd, cultic overtones. Led by Maryam Rajavi, the self-proclaimed "President Elect" of Iran, and her husband, Massoud, head of the group’s military wing, they originally supported Khomeini when he overthrew the Shah, and carried out terroristic attacks on Americans, only to turn against the regime...
I think we discussed this the other night. Nothing's changed in my opinion since then. Certainly nothing Justin Raimondo says is going to change my opinion.

#10  RC, while I agree that the site is rather dodgy, I don't recall the sudden warm and fuzzy feeling towards the Iraqi people as being the reason used by the US Admin for military intervention.

#9  Usually we just make fun of them until they get tired and go away.

#8  If you let garbage like this to
foul your site, pretty soon you won't have any
non-insane readers left.
Please throw away the dim-witted trolls.

#6  El Id -- the lack of logic goes along with the source.

#5  Not only is this from a disreputable source,the logic doesn't hold up either.I'd like know what are these "groups with links" - allegedly - to MEK,and why antiwar.com doesn't feel the need to name them while trying to link the whole thing to Perle?

#4  The above post is simply another trolling exercise, courtesy of that "Rabbi Katz" guy, or "Friendly Jew", whatever his name happens to be today.

#1  Justin Raimondo is neither a news source nor a worthy opinion source. He's a fanatic who would prefer to see millions slaughtered rather than lift a finger to stop a tyrant; a position he calls "anti-war".
