The Party of Ellison?

As today's primary results show, the party of JFK has become the party of Louis Farrakhan...

Just how far to the left has the Minnesota DFL gone? I submit their chosen congressional candidate for Minnesota's 5th District, Keith Ellison.

In case you weren't familiar with Mr. Ellison, the MN GOP has done some factfinding:

THE FACTS ABOUT KEITH ELLISON



Ellison Embraced Notorious Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan:



Ellison In 1995: "Minister Farrakhan Is . . . Not An Anti-Semite. He Is A Sincere, Tireless And Uncompromising Advocate Of The Black Community And Other Oppressed People . . . Around The World." (Tim Jones, "Candidate Finds Past Ties A Real Bind," Chicago Tribune, June 30, 2006)



Roll Call: "In Law School, Ellison Wrote An Opinion Piece Defending Louis Farrakhan And Also Helped Bring A Speaker To The Campus For A Lecture Titled: 'Zionism: White Supremacy, Imperialism Or Both?'" (Dan Rasmussen, "Minn. Party Designee May Be in Some Trouble," Roll Call, June 27, 2006)



Ellison Supported Convicted Murder Kathleen Soliah:



Chicago Tribune: "Minneapolis-Area Blogs Have Dug Up Past Statements By Ellison, Such As His Defense In 2000 Of Symbionese Liberation Army Member Kathleen Soliah, Who Later Pleaded Guilty To Murder." Tim Jones, "Candidate Finds Past Ties A Real Bind," Chicago Tribune, June 30, 2006)



Ellison In 2000: "We Need To Come Together And Free Sara." (Tim Jones, "Candidate Finds Past Ties A Real Bind," Chicago Tribune, June 30, 2006)



Star Tribune: "Minneapolis Resident Greg Lang, Whose Website, www.soliah.com, Focuses On Olson's Case, Uncovered And Transcribed Several Audio Recordings Of Speeches Ellison Gave Supporting Soliah/Olson, A Federal Fugitive Who Was Found Living The Life Of A Soccer Mom In St. Paul." (Rochelle Olson & Mark Brunswick, "Ellison's Past Views, Ties Drawing Scrutiny;" Star Tribune, June 28, 2006)



Ellison Criticizes Prosecution Of Convicted Cop Killer:



Star Tribune: Ellison Criticizes 'Political' Prosecutions Of A Former Black Panther Activist Convicted Of Killing A New Jersey Police Officer." "In one 2000 fundraiser speech, Ellison makes reference to the prosecution of Malcolm X's daughter, Qubilah Shabazz, as retribution against Farrakhan. He also spoke about the 'political' prosecutions of a former Black Panther activist convicted of killing a New Jersey police officer." (Rochelle Olson & Mark Brunswick, "Ellison's Past Views, Ties Drawing Scrutiny;" Star Tribune, June 28, 2006)

The democrat party has truly gone to hell in a handbasket. There appears to be no rescuing it.

JFK is doing 360s right now.
