Freshman Congressman Keith Ellison was among friends Sunday -- in this case, a gathering of atheists -- so his support for a fistful of hot-button opinions, including the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney, brought enthusiastic nods of approval and standing ovations.

OK, forget it, I’m joining a church if this guy is supposedly one of “my” peeps!

[Darkwolf377]

Of course a Muslim is standing up for atheists, they’re both for the destruction of Christianity. (Though not all atheists are.)

[Darkwolf377]

“It’s almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that. After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it and it put the leader of that country [Hitler] in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted. The fact is that I’m not saying [Sept. 11] was a [U.S.] plan, or anything like that because, you know, that’s how they put you in the nut-ball box — dismiss you.”

Atheists make the best Dhimmi’s...

The fact is that I'm not saying [Sept. 11] was a [U.S.] plan, or anything like that because, you know, that's how they put you in the nut-ball box -- dismiss you."

So is he saying that 9/11 wasn't a US plan because he believes that OR because he doesn't want to be dismissed?

[Darkwolf377]

"Atheists make the best Dhimmi’s..."

Not all of us.

[mainepatsfan]

and it put the leader of that country [Hitler] in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted.

Yeah Bush is getting whatever he wants these days. /s

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Ellison shouldn’t have felt the need to hold anything back...he’s already squarely in “the nut-ball box”.

[johnny7]

So is he saying that 9/11 wasn't a US plan because he believes that OR because he doesn't want to be dismissed?

Wahabe double-speak...

[mainepatsfan]

Perhaps then Hillary should try this line.

LOL!!! Yeah, no kidding. What an idiot.

[johnny7]

What an idiot.

No idiot... an educated, pro-Islamic US Representitive from MN.

[Bulldawg Fan]

Its a good thing the Rapture didnt happen while he was with that crowd of atheists. There would have been dead silence in that room, no activity at all, except that Satan would have been laughing loud.

[bmwcyle]

I'm guilty but the DEMS want innocent blood.

[Jim Robinson]

And 911 nutballs are dismissed from FR before you can say New York minute.

[SolidWood]

He isn't just pro-islamic... he is islamic.

[mbennett203]

I hate when people say this kind of crap. He's saying Bush orchestrated this to justify military actions against innocent people. Then he says he isn't saying that, because he's smart enough to recognize most Americans start hearing the Twilight Zone music when people say that crap.

It's more troubling to me that this guy is a member of Congress. People elected him. That bothers me tremendously.

[VR-21]

"People elected him. That bothers me tremendously.

Me too!

[Sender]

He is clearly saying that he can’t speak freely about it because he doesn’t want to be dismissed.
