Here is video of Muslim Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison saying President Obama’s endorsement of the Ground Zero Mosque will not be a problem at all for Democrats in the Midterm Elections.
Ellison argued that Democrats are a “party of principle,” and that they stand for “religious freedom.” He also said that stopping the building of the mosque would give the impression that Islam had something to do with September 11 as opposed to Al-Qaeda.
Wow! Ellison is spinning like a top here! This is not a religious freedom issue. Communities make decisions all the time about what they allow to be built in certain zones or areas. Muslims have mosques all over New York. But a victory mosque towering over the Ground Zero site when the driving ideology that fueled the attacks came from Islam is so wrong in every way.
Ellison is wrong that this won’t hurt Democrats. It already has, because they are now associated as the party defending the radical plan to build the Ground Zero Mosque. Republicans need to make sure that association sticks not only from now to November 2, but from now to election day in 2012.
