The ever delusional, always untruthful, Frank Gaffney rides again.
Defending the Amway brother-in-law, Fresh Prince of McLean. Gaffney, in a monumental fit of hyperdelusion shown live on today's issue of Hairballz, pontificated on. "Here's the bottom line", intoned the serious sounding moonbat, "Erik Prince is not a war profiteer."

There you have it.

Oh ...... by the way ...... he got in his de rigeur swipe at the Big Dawg, too. Seems Gaffney always favored a larger military than 'the previous administration' gave us with their cuts.

Frank ...... you're pathetic, really. What is it you do for a living over at that moonbat think tank you think for???

1. The guy is so crazy that even Norquist and his crew wouldn't let him run with them
However, his relationship with Bush Administration officials and other conservatives eventually worsened. In 2002, he was banned from the weekly "Wednesday Meeting" of the Leave Us Alone Coalition hosted by conservative activist Grover Norquist for attacking what Gaffney claimed were Bush Administration ties to radical Islamic groups. Gaffney's statement angered Norquist, who warned that the Republican party should not be associated with "racial prejudice, religious bigotry or ethnic hatred," and referred to Gaffney as a:

"sick, little bigot... His whole life screams of bigotry, and what he said is just part of a pattern ... Frank Gaffney and Osama bin Laden share the same view on the relationship between the United States and Islam. I agree with the president in rejecting Osama bin Laden's and Frank Gaffney's worldview.

4. utter nonsense. the US already has largest military budget on earth,
equal to the rest of the planet combined. maybe what gaffney means is that US taxpayers should pay $1k for every shell, $2 k's for every lugnut, $10 k for every toilet seat etc. Somewhere in this mix regards gaffney, pure criminality is at work. I would bet i toilet seat that frank is getting paid for his opinions.
