OLLIE NORTH IS INSANE

Do you remember when the Larry Craig scandal broke out? Well, two of the war whores decided Craig must go because we're "in a time of war." In Wingnut World, almost everything can be related to the war on terror. Ollie North does that with the Pastor Wright "controversy" (h/t Newshounds). Here's the relevant part of the transcript1 and the Newshounds have the video clip.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
WRIGHT: Our congregation stood in solidarity with the peasants in El Salvador and Nicaragua while our government, through Ollie North and the Iran-Contra scandal, was supporting Contras who were killing the peasants and the Miskito Indians in those two countries.
(END VIDEO CLIP)

HANNITY: All right. There he is, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, taking a shot at our own friend, Colonel Oliver North during yesterday's National Press Club address.

Here to respond is the author of a brand-new book -- by the way, this is -- and I've loved all your books -- I think one of the best. "American Heroes in the Fight against Radical Islam." The host of "War Stories" right here on the FOX News Channel, Colonel Oliver North.

Good to see you, my friend.

OLIVER NORTH, HOST, "WAR STORIES": It's great to be with you. It's wonderful. You and I are both attacked by Jeremiah Wright.

HANNITY: He attacked me in a eulogy at a funeral, for crying out loud.
NORTH: Listen, this guy has gone after everything that is good and decent in America. It's a privilege to include us.

HANNITY: I want you to respond to this here, because he's basically accusing you of murder and atrocities, and there's a serious side to this.

NORTH: And what this man has become is a recruiting campaign for al Qaeda and all of the enemies of America. This is -- this person, by virtue of his own ego, and I think that's what's really driving this...

HANNITY: I agree with you.

Didn't Ollie illegally and dishonestly collaborate with "Islamo-fascist" Iran?
Blowback, Ollie.

Ken,

As I recall, Ollie went to Tehran with a birthday cake for the Ayatollah Khomeini.
