Let's be fair and vote for an Hezbollah member for congress, how about an anarchist?

[TheBattman]

Boy - reading the title of the thread, I thought they were talking about Obama....

[SmoothTalker]

Would they really be much worse than say Dennis Kucinich?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

PING for your list......

This leaves no dount whose side the Dems are on.

Rev. Peterson said, “The issue is not Ellison’s religious affiliation, the issue is his extremist agenda and ties to domestic enemies. This is an irresponsible and dangerous precedent being set by Democrats at a time when our nation is engaged in a bloody war with Islamic terrorists abroad.”

[ladyinred]

I really find this so unbelievable, yet here it is. We are at war with radical Islam, and democrats would actually elect one to Congress? This should be the most telling thing ever about that party. As far as an anarchist, I would submit we already had two of them occupying the White House in the 90/s. Any real research on the Clinton twosome would tell you that.

[Mr. Mojo]

What kind of district would nominate a radical Muslim for congress?

Must be quite a few Cynthia McKinney types around those parts.

I think the only silver lining here is that a Black Muslim is probably not going to put on an explosive vest and push the "fire" button.

However, he could hold Congress hostage by his actions.

This is crazy. Doesn't anyone understand what's going on?

The Dems are like the Muzzies. All they see is their seething hatred for anyone not aligned with them. It's a mental illness.

[WorkingClassFilth]

From the moment Ellison announced his run, I have maintained that he will likely become the 5th's Congressman. Of course, living in this district, I have insight into the crazed RATs that populate this legislative fever swamp. This district was the career farm of Minnesota's second most famous communist - Olav Martin Sabo. The heavily urban district is the closest thing to Berkley to be found in the Midwest. Louis Farrakhan is about to gain some genuine leverage in the Congress of the United States of America.

I wrote that post 3 days ago. Think Rev. Peterson reads FR ? ;-)

[sgtbono2002]

I know you are all afraid of being called racists, but that means little to me. Lets not let the Democrats take all the heat here.

We have all seen by the Congressional Black Caucus and its members that blacks would vote for dog poop if it was black. the fact that this one is Muslim isnt why he was voted in. He was voted in because he was black his being a muslim didnt enter the equation.

Besides that many black communities think that Farrakhan is one cool guy. They love this anti-Semite dork.

[vietvet67]

Here we go folks.....this is just another step in their grand plan. Populate, gain power, influence laws while at the same time steering the country in question towards Islam. With their receiving of aid from our socialist party the future looks quite interesting.

[FlyVet]

I'm sure the Dims already have him lined up for his committee appointments: Armed Services, Homeland Security, Commerce, International Relations, Judiciary, Ways and Means, Intelligence, National Security......they'll pick the "best" ones for him.

Keith Ellison (For US Congress)

[Free ThinkerNY]

They don't call them Rats for nothing. On the other hand, maybe it's unfair to compare Dems to rats. It's an insult to rats.

[visualops]

The author of Minnesota Democrats Exposed, Michael Brodkorb, posted articles that appeared in the University of Minnesota student newspaper in 1989 and 1990 under the name of Keith Hakim. One piece was a defense of the Nation of Islam's leader, Louis Farrakhan. The other called for reparations for African-Americans, as well as a new black nation to be created from Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Mr. Brodkorb said Keith Hakim was a name Mr. Ellison used while a law student at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Ellison later acknowledged to reporters that he wrote the articles.

Keith Ellison didn't sound very Islamic to me. Wonder why he isn't proudly using his Islamic name?

He unequivocally condemned Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist groups, a position that few politically active members of the American Muslim community have been willing to take. However, he recently appeared at a Muslim-organized fund-raiser for his campaign at which a leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations spoke.

[World_Events]

Isn't he a nation of islam "muslim" and not the traditionalist muslim? From what I know NOI and black muslims who follow farrakhan do not even follow the traditional korean, their teachings are based on some whacked out theories about ufo's and racist whites. Yea, they're all gutter as far as I'm concerned.

By this alone this man is a racist and a menace to society. If he is accepted by other mainstream muzzies, then they too are stupid as dirt.

[sport]

Rev. Peterson is correct.
