Catholic Church Hosts Anti-Semitic, Marxist Congressman for Talk Editor: Antonio Gramsci alert... Comrade Keith Ellison, a Jesuit educated byproduct, has been brought to you by the usual socialist electorate you'd expect in a major American city. He's been an enthusiastic supporter of Lou Farrakhan in the past, when he's not dodging parking and traffic tickets, but anti-Semitic is ok at the leftists who run the Basilica of St. Mary's; perhaps someone should explore the connection between fascism, homosexuality and Islam? Certain people have long inspired the public to believe, with some justification, that there's a connection between Catholicism and homosexuality, and given what goes on regularly at the Basilica, you can see why this is more than a passing possibility.
"Jews are among the most racist white people I know." Declared Ellison [laughably]:
“We stand by the truth contained in the remarks attributed to [Ms. Jackson], and by her right to express her views without sanction. Here is why we support Ms. Jackson: She is correct about Minister Farrakhan. He is not a racist. He is also not an anti-Semite. Minister Farrakhan is a tireless public servant of Black people, who constantly teaches self-reliance and self-examination to the Black community.”

It is not a good thing or a bad thing... Just a thing that is what it is. All must be dealt with in a fair manner.
To be fair, this is the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis, but in that town it could have been Central Lutheran or Westminster Presbyterian or Temple Israel.
Keith Ellison is a Muslim who went to Wayne State University and the (State) University of Minnesota. How does that make him a Jesuit-educated by-product? Mind you, since by-products are the part (especially of pigs) you throw away (especially to dogs), I won’t argue with that part of the description.
Just to be clear: It is not AT the Basilica of St. Mary. It is a forum held at a PRESBYTERIAN church, with the Basilica as a co-sponsor.
To be fair, the Basilica is sponsoring it, it’s on their website. Not that most of the parish didn’t vote for Ellison or anything, because they did.
“He graduated from the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy in 1981 where he had been active in sports and the student senate.”
And they’re unjustifiably very proud of their byproduct.
