>What's with the new political romance between Gov. Pataki and Marxist
>extremist Lenora Fulani?
>As The Post's David Seifman reported Saturday, Pataki is listed as the
>"special guest" at an upcoming Yale Club fund-raiser for the
>Fulani-controlled Independence Party of Manhattan.
>
>Pataki is hardly ignorant of Fulani's record. Spokesman Michael McKeon
>admitted that "Obviously, there are some concerns here, serious concerns."
>
>So why is Pataki lending his name to Fulani's event? Says McKeon: "The

>government."

>Oh, please.

>We realize that Pataki - his eyes on next year's re-election fight - has
>been hurtling ever-leftward. But publicly embracing Lenora Fulani, with her
>history of anti-Jewish statements, seriously undermines the gov's
>credibility.
>
>Just as Michael Bloomberg's acceptance of the Independence Party ballot
line
>this fall raises serious questions about his suitability to be mayor.
>(Pataki seeks the party's line for 2002.)

>Why avoid Fulani? A longtime top official of the cult-like New Alliance
>Party, Lenora Fulani has denounced fellow blacks for their willingness to
>"pander to Jews" and suggests that it is especially significant when "a
>slumlord is Jewish."
>
>She has never disavowed her support of either Moammar Khadafy or Louis
>Farrakhan - or her description of the 1991 Crown Heights riots as "the
first
>clear exercise of power by the city's new coalition of black leadership"
>against "right-wing Zionists."
>
>Fulani now says she's "cleaned up" her language - but not necessarily her
>opinions.
>
>As David Grain reported in The New Republic two years ago, Fulani's control
>of the Independence Party "is the culmination of a 30-year effort, by a
>group the FBI once considered armed and dangerous, to infiltrate the
>political system."
>
>Apparently, whatever "serious concerns" Pataki has about Fulani have been
>swept aside by his serious concern about getting re-elected.
