Hate Crime Mockery

The Republican Jewish Coalition calls on Governor Blagojevich to remove a Farrakhan advisor from his Hate Crime Panel.

This is akin to having Cuba and Sudan on the UN Human Rights Commission.

Farrakhan has repeatedly made blatant anti-Semitic remarks. Surely the governor can find someone to appoint who has not spoken in hate:

At the annual Nation of Islam’s Saviours' Day conference in Chicago Sunday, Farrakhan told an audience of thousands, “your country has been taken from you by the synagogue of Satan.” [Saviours’ Day, Chicago, Illinois, 2/26/2006]

Please. What a mockery.
