In a clear sign of the deepening Unholy Alliance between the Democratic Party Left and Islamist extremists, Minnesota’s Democratic Party has nominated for U.S. Congress a “former” member of the Nation of Islam who has defended membership in the Bloods street gang, and called cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and leftist terrorist Sara Jane Olson “freedom fighters.”The candidate, Keith Ellison Hakim, is running in the liberal 5th congressional district of Minnesota.
The DFL is now handing its “greatest stronghold” over to a candidate with long ties to Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic Nation of Islam and who has already accrued at least an estimated $20,000-$35,000 in funding from the terrorist-connected Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), including the maximum personal donation from CAIR chief Nihad Awad.Powerline has been following this story as well. Ellison's Republican opponent is Alan Fine.
Readers of this blog may recall the controversy over anti-Semitic remarks made by NOI leader Louis Farrakhan, which a senior NOI leader and member of Governor Blagojevich's Hate Crime Commission refused to disavow. A number of commission members resigned as a result, though not the NOI member, who claimed she was a victim of discrimination. Nor has the governor asked for her resignation. Sister Claudette Marie Muhammad is still listed as a member. As is Attorney General Lisa Madigan.
UPDATE: And then there's this and this. Via Instapundit. Also this.
