Conservative chirper Michelle Malkin has assembled this helpful rogues' gallery exposing all of the terrorists who support the Democratic presidential candidates. A $200 donation from a crazy, bomb-throwing hippie? Consider yourself nailed Barack Osama! But if it's terrorist mollycoddling Malkin has a beef with, why stop with the Democrats? One can apply Malkin's unsubtle model to Republican candidate John McCain and easily find a terror connection that's considerably more relevant to our national security than those set out by her Democrat dossier. In fact, one need look no further than the uppermost rungs of the McCain operation to do so.

McCain's top fundraiser and "consigliere", Tom Loeffler, has received approximately $15 million from the government of Saudi Arabia since 2003, including $3.5 million since he started working for McCain. His firm, the Loeffler Group, has helped the Saudis arrange meetings with administration and congressional officials which, in this writer's experience, involve the Saudis lying their faces off and trying to convince people that their citizens are no longer the world's top financiers of Sunni terror groups and the Taliban. They are, of course, and Loeffler has made a fortune helping the Saudi government deflate pressure on them to do more about it. Imagine how much he could make squiring Saudi lies around the West Wing if McCain wins the presidency. C'mon Malkin, make another freakin' poster!
