Rachel says: ‘Thanks Congressman Ray’

Flag-burning Hamas supporter Rachel Corrie, who died trying to keep the Isreali Defense Force from demolishing tunnels being used to smuggle weapons, no doubt would have approved of U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood’s opposition to the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006, which ends U.S. government financial aid to the Hamas-run Palestinian Authority.

And I hear through the grapevine that another protest is being planned outside Caterpillar World Headquarters here in the River City by those people who blame Cat for manufacturing the dozer used to demolish the tunnels Rachel was protecting. They say Cat should know better than to do business with the Zionist Entity.

Perhaps these protestors — or perhaps Rachel’s parents — might want to stop by LaHood’s office and thank him in person for his ideological support and offer their support as he tries to gain re-election against the onslaught of his Democratic challenger … whatever his name is.

UPDATE: John Ruberry, a prominent blogger and a member of Pajamas Media, has linked to my posts about LaHood and Hamas.

    I bask in the glow of your adoration.

    One of these days, the GOP is going to wake up and realize what an embarassment Ray LaHood is to their party.

    Perhaps one day the national Demcoratic Party will wake up and realize that all they need is a semi-serious candidate and they can capture a seat in Congress. Actually, a serious LIBERTARIAN candidate would have a shot.

    Since when has John Ruberry been a prominent blogger? If by prominent, you mean the exact opposite of what the word means, maybe.

    More prominent than yours.

    Yeah, but you’re more prominent than me too.

    You make it sound like he’s Andrew Sullivan, when he’s more like Dan Johnson-Weinberger in terms of blog prominence.

    “Prominent” includes, in my opinion, blogs as popular as Ruberry and Johnson-Weinberger, at least as far as state politics is concerned.
