With all the talk during the election about Obama "pallin'' around with terrorists," I figured people who frequent ATW would like to hear about who Palin''s been "pallin'' around" with. Warning: this is extremely upsetting and hard to read. I wish I hadn''t read the article, but it''s too late now. link
A few nights ago, Palin attended an intimate dinner held for her and John McCain by Fred Malek. Here''s a bit of background info on Malek from the article I linked:
''During the embryonic days of Watergate in the early 1970s, Malek served as a special assistant to Nixon in his corrupt bid for re-election, where he palled around with the likes of real terrorists, including H. R. Haldeman, John Erlichman, Charles Colson and E. Howard Hunt. Malek distinguished himself in the Nixon circles by providing the anti-Semitic president with information about the number of Democrats and "important Jewish officials" working in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nixon was convinced that a "Jewish cabal" had taken over the agency.
Timothy Noah of Slate, in a brilliant series of investigative reporting, has dubbed it "the last recorded act of official anti-Semitism by the United States government."''
I had somehow never heard about the anti-Semitism of Nixon, and it really blew my mind.
Here''s another shocking and disgusting bit of Malek''s history that involves Malek slaughtering a dog. Skip this if you don''t want to know the horrible details.
''Malek would feel right at home in Alaskan politics. But there''s one sordid tale in Malek''s background that might give Palin the pit bull some pause. As Washington Post columnist Colbert King reported a few years ago, Malek was involved in a gruesome incident in his home state of Illinois, shortly after he graduated from West Point.
In the early morning hours of August of 1959, sheriff deputies outside of Peoria discovered a vehicle covered in blood and a group of drunken young men, also covered in blood, nearby. Some were hiding in the bushes. The men told the deputies that they had accidentally hit a dog. Then their story changed. And then it changed again. Finally, one of them confessed. They had captured the dog and had barbecued it in a nearby park. The deputies returned to the scene and found a skinned and gutted canine on a spit in the park. An empty booze bottle was also nearby. Fred Malek was one of the five young men arrested for the crime, though the charges against him were eventually dropped.''
I cannot believe a person could be so cruel. I don''t care how drunk someone is-killing a dog and barbecuing it is beyond belief. It makes me sick to my stomach. I wonder what they would have done if they had come across a person that night?
Also shocking to me is that any politician would associate themselves with someone like Malek.
