America's first Muslim congressman has provoked outrage by apparently comparing President George W Bush to Adolf Hitler and hinting that he might have been responsible for the September 11 attacks.
Addressing a gathering of atheists in his home state of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, a Democrat, compared the 9/11 atrocities to the destruction of the Reichstag, the German parliament, in 1933. This was probably burned down by the Nazis in order to justify Hitler's later seizure of emergency powers.
"It's almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that," Mr Ellison said. "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."
To applause from his audience of 300 members of Atheists for Human Rights, Mr Ellison said he would not accuse the Bush administration of planning 9/11 because "you know, that's how they put you in the nut-ball box - dismiss you".

We know who our enemies are, and they wear diapers and towels on their heads.
Wait, was that racist?
Tough
Enemies within the gates...and, sadly, tragically, we have a whole lot of them these days.
Actually, I wish he did have a couple of Hitler's characteristics.
This is outrageous.
If this is for real, why do we have to read about it in the UK press?
so Ellison is stupid enough to attempt to practice Taqiyya on people who have IQ’s greater than his own.......
...and comparing President Bush to Hitler doesn't?
The US press hides everything like the Nobel Peace Prize Winner that threatened to kill the President at a Dallas Hotel. There was minimal coverage but only to the extent of defending her by claiming she was just expressing the outrage throughout America.
Mr. Ellison meet nut-ball box; nut-ball box, say hello to Mr.Ellison.

He has probably been in the nut-ball box for decades.
First make sure you have followed rules 1-3:
1. Drink liquor.
2. Make things up.
3. Use meaningless but weightly-sounding words and phrases.
If Rules 1-3 fail to win the argument, use Rule #4:
4. Compare your opponent to Adolf Hitler.
This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent is obviously right and you are spectacularly wrong. Bring Hitler up subtly. Say: "That sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler might say" or "You certainly do remind me of Adolf Hitler."
Think this is bad? What if we get a muslim vice-president in Obama?
Could this schmuck be charged with a “hate crime?” Someone call Nancy Pelosi and ask her to file charges on her cohort aka Muslim ally.
It is hard to understand why Minnisotans would have elected this guy. What is our country coming to?
Is Keith a true Muslim or is he lying to those he must kill according to the Koran?
