Eh, what's a few opposition leaders <a href="http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/world\/2012\/jan\/09\/malaysian-opposition-anwar-ibrahim-timeline" target="_blank">slandered, falsely charged with crimes, and dragged through the courts for years, unable to run for office, </a> compared to $400,000? It's a question of principle. Or, in this case, principal. (Teabaggers do seem to have difficulty with spelling -- it makes them loosers because it effects their thinking.)

Little did they know, they could have had him for $49.95 -- and that's not all! If they'd acted fast, they could have gotten a second rabid right-wing blogger, free!

Speaking of money - toss Rep. Keith Ellison a few bucks. Let him know we support him - and love the way he took on Sheer InSannity! <a href="https://keithellison.ngpvan..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://keithellison.ngpvanhost.com/contribute">https://keithellison.ngpvan...

This sure went over great with Malaysian muslims, who were <a href="http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110901080207\/http:\/\/www.freemalaysiatoday.com\/2011\/07\/25\/anti-islam-bloggers-in-us-on-najibbn-payroll\/" target="_blank"> a bit mystified by their own government's use of American wingnut bloggers</a>.

(Had to give an archive link there, so patience may be required. Seems that the Malaysian internet sometimes gets full, and news sites have to throw out useless stuff, like, you know, articles critical of the government.)

Interesting that Trevino was outed back in 2011, yet -- aside from trying to get a piece of the action -- his muslim-hating wingnut buddies have never said a word about it.

That 'School of the Americas' used to be a great money-maker.

The only things I understood in that article were 'Malaysia', '$400,000' and 'the San Francisco examiner'.
