Ellison lashes out @MicheleBachmann (Defends ACORN)
StarTribune ^ | 9/16/09 | Eric Roper

Posted on 09/16/2009 5:52:32 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

Rep. Keith Ellison took Rep. Michele Bachmann to task today via his Blackberry.

Ellison, arguably the most liberal member of Minnesota’s congressional delegation, chided his conservative colleague on Twitter for leaving a Financial Services Committee meeting before witnesses had offered their testimony.

The hearing was held to discuss the possible expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act, which encourages lenders to aid low-income areas. Bachmann criticized the CRA and ACORN before leaving, according to Ellison’s tweets (below).

“Michele Bachmann uses her time at financial services to attack CRA, ACORN, and then promptly walks out when experts begin testimony,” Ellison wrote.

Update: Bachmann spokesman Dave Dziok has this response to Ellison’s comments: “Maybe Congressman Ellison should worry less about what Congresswoman Bachmann is doing, and more about what the friends he’s defending like ACORN are doing with his constituents’ tax dollars.”

Bwaaaahhhhhhaaaahhhaaa!!!!

Ellison's constituents don't pay taxes, they eat taxes.

One must suppose that Ellison sometimes speaks as a Moslem, and in that case whorehouses filled with underage El Salvadoran (Christian) girls would be just dandy for him.

This horrid man must be voted out. The people in his district gotta' be better than this.

Ellison swears on the Koran that his attitude toward ACORN is right and that Michele Bachmann (a unconcern for him...Michele is 6th district and "Koran" is the 5th district) is showing to be a formidable affront to anti-Constitution tactics.

Those who despise what the Constitution stands for hate Michele for her conviction to preserve it.

Watching the new video on Hannity. The ACORN official is offering to help with the smuggling of underage illegals for prostitution.

The ACLOWN says “I have contacts”

As a representative of "us" the government, a true devotion to preserve our democratic republic via the Constitution.

His conviction to this is lacking. (ducking and covering)

Nobody’s interested in the PROCESS, Ellison. We are interested in getting some RESULTS.

The inside baseball crap that these Beltway dildos toss the public to deflect attention from themselves and their favorite interest groups is truly farcical.
