On Sunday, Fifth District Congressman Keith Ellison found a wildly receptive audience in what might seem an unexpected place: a gathering of Minnesota atheists. "You'll always find this Muslim standing up for your right to be atheists all you want," he told them. (You might want to check the Qur'an on that, Rep. Ellison.) His speech invoked standard talking points of the hard left.
He characterized Vice President Dick Cheney's decision not to answer certain questions as "the very definition of totalitarianism, authoritarianism and dictatorship."
Actually, bona fide tyrants don't just claim, as Cheney has, that some communications are off-limits; they torture and execute their political opponents and whole populations.
Imagine how long a critic like Ellison would have lasted in Stalin's Soviet Union or Pol Pot's Cambodia.
But even the "impeach Bush now" crowd might have raised an eyebrow when Ellison compared the Sept. 11 terror attacks to the burning of the Reichstag, or Pariament building, in Nazi Germany in 1933.
"It's almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that," he told applauding atheists. "After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted."
If you're fuzzy on your history of Nazi Germany, you might have missed Ellison's point. Here's the context.
On Feb. 27, 1933, the Reichstag building in Berlin burned.
The fire occurred a week before the March 5 elections, which pitted the Nazis against the Communists, Social Democrats and other parties.
For decades, it had been widely believed that the Nazis themselves planned the fire in an effort to discredit the Communists and justify Nazi seizure of emergency powers. Today, many scholars believe that the arsonist was a lone

a Muslim US Congressman addressing a crowd of atheists.
This is most certainly not the Minnesota I remember growing up as a kid in.
I cannot believe this hasn’t gotten more attention. This terror supporter called the President and his whole administration “Nazis” and not a peep in rebuttal. This is too much, even from a black RAT.
I don’t think the fact that he’s black has anything to do with it.
What a totally upside down world: a Muslim congressman addressing a congress of atheists, and all of them having congress with the Beast.

I tried to tell those in the state before they put him in... to no avail.
The talk about dictatorship from Ellison and Boxer makes me wonder what the ‘rats are up to. Based on their penchant for blaming the pubs for what they do themselves, they are planning to actually go thru w/ an impeachment-coup-dictatorship of their own. Also, this meshes well with their plan to reimplement the fairness doctrine.
This isn`t just the extreme leftists like DU or HuffPo spouting the “Bush bombed the WTC” crud anymore, folks. It`s becoming mainstream on the left.
He’s a member of a protected class.
Muslims lie more than anyone.
Even on FR, Bush has lost a lot of support recently (not disagreeing with that--especially on illegal immigration--just stating that's what has happened).
Don't forget the 'Muslims will always let you be atheists' part.
While you were a kid, Hubert Humphrey was sowing the seeds.
becoming?
..The NAZIS were SOCIALISTS!!

RUMORS ARE
FLYING EVERYWHERE
AL QAEDA PLANNING A NEW ATTACK IN U.S.
Rumors are flying everywhere that al Qaeda is planning a "spectacular" attack on the American "homeland" sometime this summer. For example, ABC News reports that it's been made "privy" to classified material prepared by the Department of Homeland Security which warns that -
"Al Qaeda is planning a terror 'spectacular' this summer."
...
LIES THAT PORTEND A COMING COUP D'ETAT
What could all this possibly portend? - that the elites (the same elites that "MOVED" so ruthlessly against JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King) are preparing to "MOVE" in this direction again; specifically, in the direction of another "manufactured" 9/11 event - AND IT'S COMING SOON!
Last September we addressed the subject of a possible coup d'etat - a possibility raised by the editorial board of Harper's Magazine; one carried out by the American military in the interest of the American "military-industrial complex" and those who support the further expansion of the American New World Order System. We URGE you to read it again...
AN AMERICAN COUP D'ETAT
