    How disturbing is this? Will Ellison suffer any consequences for his recent associations with Farrakhan? How significant is the Iranian association?

    The party's done and the left doesn't trust Ellison, so it's another lose-lose for the DP.

    But the criticisms are meaningless; no less a witch hunt than the one for Trump.

    Among others. That wasn't the only association was it?

    What other one? Are you talking about his work on the Million Man March in the 1990's? A ton of people and groups worked on that. It was a solid event, regardless of Farrakhan's involvement.

    I didn't learn about any other association from this thread you pulled me into.

    Farakahn is one of the few honest Democrats who say what Democrats actually believe.

    I doubt there is a Democrat who wouldn't want to be in this picture of DNC icons.

    It's politically correct to genocide bait Jews so long as you're brown.

    Ellison and Farrakhan are in a protected race. The spineless MSM is their protectors. Sad.

    Isn't it interesting how the left is quick to paint conservatives as "Racist," when they openly associate themselves with the Racist Louis Farrakhan?

    Why should he not go to an event just because there is a bigot at the event. The event was not held in honor of the bigot. I mean c'mon -guilt by association? He should be asked if they spoke together and if they did what they discussed. But we have to remember we as americans have principles that we hold sacred.

    The left and the news media would crucify Trump if he attended an event with David Duke!

    Yes they would, but Farrakhan is the religious leader of a couple of mill americans. There is a diff in their standing in the community even if they are both bigots. Listen to some of the far Right Christian Ministers on how they feel about Gays even now. It is a shame that they both can cloak their hatred in a religious dogma.

    Hate to say it but the socialist left is clearly intent on shifting toward Islam and away from Judaism and Christianity.

    Meeting with people is not the same as associating with them.

    Never heard one word of opposition or questioning from any left winger.

    Right, so if Steve King met Richard Spencer and we found out about it, you would say that it is perfectly okay and
    there is no need to question it because, "meeting with people is not the same as associating with them?"

    So what?

    if you are so upset with Ellison, than why didn't you start a new thread instead of NECROing this thread (from last February)?

    Obsessed much?:roflol:

    If you were going to NECRO this Ancient BS, at least post a recent link.

    The link that you used to bump this is over 10 Months Old.:bored:

    So where do you draw the line on how old an article can be?

    Given Steve King's history, it would be highly suspect.
