If You Are Against Raising The Debt Ceiling You Are Part Of Al-Qaeda?

We said it would happen…and it has.  While I’m not surprised, it is very concerning that this is coming from someone on the right. From The American Dream: Are you against raising the debt ceiling? If so, according to former Bush Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill you are actually part of Al-Qaeda. Yes, seriously. During an interview on Bloomberg TV the other day, O’Neill actually made the following statement: “The people who are threatening not to pass the debt ceiling are our version of Al-Qaeda terrorists. Really. They’re really putting our whole society at risk by threatening to round up 50 percent of the members of the Congress, who are looney, who would put our credit at risk.”
