What did Osama Bin Laden have in common with the Republicans?
 Answer: They did not want Barack Obama to be re-elected.

A trove of digital communications and hand-written notes show how bin Laden ran his weakened network from his solitary hideout in a garrison town in Pakistan. He was especially engaged in decisions about leadership posts and developing plots, the officials said.

Bin Laden's writings discuss his strategic goal of carrying out attacks that would prevent President Obama from being re-elected, though he also wrote that "the alternative could be worse," a U.S. counterterror official said.

Here's Michael Moore-on the day before the 2004 election:

To George W.:

I know it’s gotta be rough for you right now. Hey, we’ve all been there. “You’re fired” are two horrible words when put together in that order. Bin Laden surfacing this weekend to remind the American people of your total and complete failure to capture him was a cruel trick or treat. But there he was. 3,000 people were killed and he’s laughing in your face. Why did you stop our Special Forces from going after him? Why did you forget about bin Laden on the DAY AFTER 9/11 and tell your terrorism czar to concentrate on Iraq instead?

There he was, OBL, all tan and rested and on videotape (hey, did you get the feeling that he had a bootleg of my movie?

So apparently Moore-on revels in the fact that UBL didn't like Bush and wanted to taunt him.

According to the OP that makes Moore-on just like UBL.

I believe phone banks were being ran for Obama by terrorist group Hamas in the West Bank.  Pretty sure they didn't do it for McCain.

He certainly got a lot of laundered $200 or less donations from them.
