House Speaker Dennis Hastert tells it like it is, causing the DNC to whine furiously: Hastert’s al Qaeda comment draws fire.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Top Democrats slapped back Sunday at a remark by House Speaker Dennis Hastert that al Qaeda leaders want Sen. John Kerry to beat President Bush in November.

At a campaign rally Saturday in his Illinois district with Vice President Dick Cheney, Hastert said al Qaeda “would like to influence this election” with an attack similar to the train bombings in Madrid days before the Spanish national election in March.

When a reporter asked Hastert if he thought al Qaeda would operate with more comfort if Kerry were elected, the speaker said, “That’s my opinion, yes.”

Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe called Hastert’s comments “disgraceful,” saying there was “no room for this in our political discourse.”

I don’t think Al Qaeda has issued their endorsement of a candidate yet, but here are just a few LGF stories about support for John Kerry from Islamic supremacists, terror supporters, appeasing Spanish prime ministers, and anti-American moonbats:

The mullahs of Iran.
Mahathir Mohamad.
Noam Chomsky.
Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapatero.
An Iraqi mujahideen.
France.
The Arab world.
