Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim congressman, gave emotional testimony Thursday to a House of Representatives committee hearing on radicalization in the U.S. Muslim community.

Tearfully describing the story of a Muslim-American first-responder paramedic who died on September 11, 2001, Ellison criticized New York Republican Rep. Peter King for leading the controversial hearings that have reignited a national debate over how to combat a spate of home grown terrorism. Muslims in America: Demographics and beliefs "Mohammed Salman Hamdani was a fellow American who gave his life for other Americans," Ellison said, his voice breaking. "His life should not be defined as a member of an ethnic group or a member of a religion, but as an American who gave everything for his fellow citizens."

"This committee's approach to violent extremism is contrary to American values and threatens our security," Ellison said. The congressman tried to hide his tears behind his papers and quickly left the room after his remarks.

U. S. Congressmarxist from the Peoples' Republic of Minnesota, Keith Maurice Ellison was born in Detroit, raised in the Catholic faith.....and converted to Islam in the late eighties.

Evil lying c-sucker is what he is.

Islam should (and shall) be outlawed.

Thanks tobyhill.

[panthermom]

Unfortunately he died in vain because his death is cancelled out by the several other Muslim Americans who have tried to kill hundreds if not thousand of other Americans.

[TheOldLady]

And they mock Boehner for crying. This jerk was weeping like a paid mourner.

“This committee’s approach to violent extremism is contrary to American values and threatens our security,” ...........

......................

...........................

.....and.....HOW, exactly, does it “threaten our security”?

Why doesn’t anyone call this clown on that type of rhetoric?

Why doesn’t anyone ask him flat out where the tears for the other 3000 victims of 9/11 are?

What a jackhole.

This article provides the text of something written by the Honorable Gentleman from Minnesota a few years back about the United States Constitution:

Racism means conspiracy to subjugate and actual subjugation. That means planned social, economic, military, religious and political subjugation of whites. It cannot be intelligently argued that the Nation of Islam is doing this. In fact, blacks have no history of harming or subjecting whites as a class. On the other hand, whites have it written into their very Constitution that blacks shall be considered three-fifths of a person for purposes of taxation and representation of their white owners. Their Constitution also makes provision for the return of runaway slaves. Their constitution [sic] is the bedrock of American law; it’s the best evidence of a white racist conspiracy to subjugate other peoples. (emphasis added)

The Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution (1865) abolished slavery; the Fourteenth Amendment (1868) changed voting representation to eliminate any reference to 3/5ths for non-free persons.

Mr. Ellison's use in his screed of the present tense is strong evidence that he is illiterate, abysmally ignorant of the U.S. Constitution or intentionally deceitful.

As a Member of Congress, Mr. Ellison presumably votes on national laws for the United States.

Near as I can tell, there were no tears, period. Just fake blubbering. He couldn’t even fake his “sincerity.” ;)

[ez]

None. I’ve seen it three more times. There were no tears.

[ScottinVA]

Didn`t see a single one. That “emotion” is as fake as his “patriotism.”

[Gargantua]

"Why was he crying about someone he never met who died ten years ago?"

He wasn't crying. He was faking (quite badly, I must say) emotional turmoil while bald-face lieing about "some comments" at the time which, in fact, nobody ever uttered.

Ellison is one of the worst, morally void grandstanding human scum ever to waste perfectly good oxygen.

"The congressman told a teachable story this morning. One problem: It’s untrue."

A really bad Good-Cop-Bad-Cop act.

[savedbygrace]

I agree there were no tears yesterday. What I was suggesting was that he has never shed any tears, or made an emotional display, with regard to ANY of the 3000+ who were murdered on 9/11.

Awwwwww. Are we supposed to feel sympathy for people who subscribe to a ‘religion’ that is terrorizing all of civilization? Being ‘singled out’ are they? DAMN RIGHT! Islam is the only ‘religion’ that is preaching hate of any-and all- other religions, the only ‘religion’ churning out terrorists, the only ‘religion’ that values death more than life!
Can anyone imagine being worried about ‘singling out’ people who called themselves Nazis during WW2? OF COURSE we did- and we should now, with Muslims. You look for criminals in violent gangs. Islam is what is churning out people who want Islam to dominate the planet by force.
So, cry on-Muslims! You can tell how good you aim by who squeals.
Live by the death-cult- be judged by the death-cult!

“These are tears of guilt — a large number of youths were radicalized from his district.”

He doesn’t feel guilty - either directly or indirectly, he encourages and helps in their radicalization. They were probably tears of thanks to Allah.

“We must form: AMERICANS FOR A MUSLIM FREE AMERICA”

Better put a hyphen between Muslim and Free, otherwise the undesirables will think it’s like Radio Free Europe and want to jump on board :-)))))

[llandres]

“And they mock Boehner for crying. This jerk was weeping like a paid mourner.”

Yes, I thought about that after seeing KE’s disgusting “testimony”. Boehner does wear his heart on his sleeve a little too much to suit many people, but at least HIS tears are sincere. He cries sometimes when I’m sure he wishes he didn’t.

[TheOldLady]

True on all points.

” whites have it written into their very Constitution that blacks shall be considered three-fifths of a person for purposes of taxation and representation of their white owners.”

What a dunce. Glenn Beck explains this one very succinctly in his book Arguing with Idiots, and it should be shouted from the rooftops to all the ignorant libs and blacks who smear the Constitution for this one section alone:

The 3/5ths thing was not to give “white owners” tax breaks, although Ellison’s statement about representation was correct, but did he ever know why? Obviously not. It was to LIMIT representation of slave states so they wouldn’t outnumber all the non-slave states, and so that through Congress, there could eventually be a fair vote to get rid of slavery. Since the number of states’ representatives was determined by population, the founders who wanted to see an end to slavery didn’t even want slaves to be counted at all - but they had to compromise, hence the “3/5ths of a man” verbiage.

[llandres]

“What I was suggesting was that he has never shed any tears, or made an emotional display, with regard to ANY of the 3000+ who were murdered on 9/11.”

And what I’D like to know is, each time the KE clip is shown (at least on FNC), it also goes to a painting of the towers burning - where is that painting and who owns it? I ask because there was a video I saw sometime ago of an interview with C. Amanpour at her home, and she has a painting just like that hanging in her dining room! I mean, who does that??? Seeing it would make any patriotic American completely lose their appetite.

Oh, wait........
