Senate
Candidate Kirk's Campaign has Links to Terrorism
by MARC
LEVIN |
An
Austin Review investigation has revealed that U.S. Senate
candidate Ron Kirk is employing an anti-Israel activist who has
defended terrorist groups and is friends with American Taliban
John Walker Lindh. The Review has also learned that Kirk has
received numerous campaign donations from individuals linked
with terrorism and anti-Semitism, one of whom also violated U.S.
export laws by shipping sensitive technology to Libya and Syria.

E-mail
slip chagrins Senate candidate's aides
By Gary Susswein, AMERICAN-STATESMAN
STAFF Thursday, June 20, 2002 |
Democratic Senate nominee Ron Kirk learned the perils of running
a campaign in the information age this week when an errant
e-mail from an aide made the rounds on the Internet.
The message from Kirk fund-raiser Lane Luskey
suggested the campaign had fired a worker whose views on the
Middle East were at odds with Kirk's. It was sent to a group of
Jewish supporters -- which apparently included a few more people
than Luskey had intended -- and was forwarded from there.
"As
more was learned about circumstances related to him, it won't
surprise anybody that he was asked not to be involved in the
campaign," Luskey wrote about Steven Hyland, the campaign
worker.
Hyland was the subject of a conservative magazine's
recent story that Luskey called a "smear campaign."
The e-mail was supposed to ease concerns in the Jewish community
about that story. |

Have you or Allen Gwinn ever started to put a database together of ALL
the property tax abatements in the Greater Dallas (maybe all of Dallas
County) area? Some of the high profile ones (the arena, etc.,
yahoo . . . ) get some news, but I am thinking that there is probably
something more going on in this? You know, pay a little -- save a
lot.
BTW, have you heard your buddy -- Ed Oakley -- going on about "buy
Dallas" (or is that bye-bye Dallas?, saying "please buy your
groceries in Dallas . . ." -- so Dallas will get the sales tax.
Last time I checked -- last night, in fact -- I went grocery shopping --
groceries are not charged sales tax.
Is this guy really this clueless, or does he figure we are?
