Elect a Muslim to Congress?

And so, it begins.
I dunno, do we want sharia law?

Once again, Powerline has done its homework. It is slowly exposing the media's bias, and its attempt to tar anyone who does not go along with their parade.

Right now, Democrats are trying to elect a Muslim to Congress. This is unremarkable. Except that they are trying to hide significant facts about his past. In their new role as political fixer, they've decided that the public may not know certain things about their candidate. And if you try to reveal some facts the Democrats don't want you to know, their trained jackals in the press will attempt to smear you.

Powerline found out that Keith Ellison was a member of the Nation of Islam (Farrakhan's organization) for several years. He says that he was just a member for about 18 months, and it was only to help organize the million man march.

But the facts don't seem to back him up. Powerline has uncovered evidence that he was a member of the Nation of Islam for at least 3 years. And, they uncovered the fact that he used several Nation of Islam-type aliases while he was in college and Law School.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune refused to report all this. They want their candidate to be elected, and since the Tribune is one of the most wildly left wing papers in the nation, it stands to reason that they would act like Soviet Commissars, and simply present their version of things with little or no regard for the truth. So much for the watchdog press that supposedly protects us from scheming politicians. Apparently when it comes to Democrats, the Star Tribune will have no problem suppressing facts.

And the deliciousness of it all. No doubt to elect a radical Muslim to Congress would be their fondest inverse-reality world delight. They live in a through-the-looking-glass world, where, when in a war with radical Islam, the highest and most honorable thing to do is elect a radical Muslim to Congress! That's the Democratic party thinking for you. After all, Democrats know that it is the United States to blame for everything that goes wrong. (Jimmy Carter on Larry King said so last night. There is no war on terror, only something of our own making).
