Radical leftist, Jeffrey Laurenti, who is also a senior fellow at the liberal Century Foundation, has publicly stated on his blog, that conservative Republicans’ efforts to reduce the amount of cash taxpayers are wasting on the United Nations is more destructive than a suicide bombing terrorist attack.

Excuse me?

(CNSNews.com) – A House Republican bill aimed at driving United Nations reform by withholding U.S. funds is part of “an even more destructive assault” on the world body than Friday’s suicide bombing of a U.N. building in Nigeria, a critic of the initiative said.

“Islamist extremists’ hostility to the United Nations is well known,” said Jeffrey Laurenti, senior fellow at the liberal Century Foundation, in a blog post. “Osama bin Laden famously reviled it as ‘nothing but a tool of crime’ that ‘surrendered the land of Muslims [Palestine] to the Jews’ and works hand-in-glove with the United States in places like Afghanistan.”

“But the United Nations is now at risk from an even more destructive assault – from conservative fundamentalists now in power in the U.S. Congress,” he continued.

Laurenti was likening last Friday’s suicide bombing at U.N. headquarters in Abuja, which killed 23 people, with congressional Republican initiatives targeting funding to the U.N.
