Calif. Rep. Waters says Pat Robertson supported the Taliban

File this under Loony Liberal Leftist:
Bizarre accusation

Rep. Maxine Waters, California Democrat, charged yesterday that Pat Robertson and other religious conservatives were supporters of the Taliban in Afghanistan. But a top Justice Department official appeared puzzled by the accusation.

"Do you have conservative religious organizations in the United States who supply resources to the Taliban?" Mrs. Waters asked Barry Sabin, chief of the Counterterrorism Section for the Criminal Division, Department of Justice.

"I don't know what you're specifically referring to," said Mr. Sabin, who was appearing before the House Judiciary crime, terrorism and homeland security subcommittee.

"Well, I'm talking about Pat Robertson and some of the organizations that were involved with support of the Taliban before 9/11, and I'm told that still there may be some connections to them. Do you know anything about this at all?"

Mr. Sabin: "I don't know what you're referring to."

I suspect that Ms. Waters has been surfing the online insane asylums known as DailyDean (aka DailyKos) and the Democratic Underground.
