Rep. Keith Ellison called for the resignation of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs after he said the “professional left” would only be satisfied with the Obama administration after “we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon.”

In an interview with The Hill, Gibbs vented further: “I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested.” On people who said that President Obama was too centrist, he said, “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”

Rep. Ellison told The Huffington Post, “This is not the first time that Mr. Gibbs has made untoward and inflammatory comments and I certainly hope that people in the White House don’t share his view that the left is unimportant to the presiden. I understand him having some loyalty to the president who employs him, but I think he’s walking over the line.”

Ellison said that Gibbs’ resignation was warranted. “That’d be fair, because this isn’t the first time. And, again, people of all political shades worked very hard to help the president become the president. Why would he want to go out and deliberately insult the president’s base? And why would he confuse legitimate critique with some sort of lack of loyalty.

Hate it when I end up having to side with Gibbs.

Well. Is this why he didn’t show up at the press briefing today?

“The pro-Hamas muslim Ellison.....”

Right..I was just going to post that he probably wants some Muslim, or Muslim friendly in that Press Sec. position.

Keith Eillson is another Muslim desperately trying to undermine American values, laws, and constitution. Ellisom is part and parcel of CAIR - who is he to call for anyone’s resignation......he is NOT to be trusted ever! He is Islamic, hardly an American - he is the enemy within in full dress ready to bestow Sharia Law on asleep-at-the-wheel Americans. Who elected him? Muslims.

election in 12 weeks. They'd better get "obama centrist, left don't like him" out into the mindspace.

Stop falling for it, people. We're smarter than them, remember!
