(Picture Courtesy of Keith Ellison's Congressional website)We knew the minute that Keith Ellison was elected to Congress that he would cause trouble. Lo and behold, Ellison has now made an unforgiveable remark: a comparison between Hitler and President George W. Bush.
A good Muslim, if there are any left, would certainly blame the terrorist attacks of 9/11 on Islamic fanatics. 19 Islamists killed over 3,000 Americans and destroyed the Twin Towers. There should be no factual dispute there.
To even imply that President George W. Bush might have played a role in the attacks is utterly absurd. In the words of Elizabeth Edwards, comments like that have no place in American political discourse.
Just like Don Imus was forced to leave his radio post, now Keith Ellison should be forced to resign as a United States Congressman. We cannot trust a man who says and believes such utter bunk to be a leader in our Country.
According to the UK's telegram, here is part of what Ellison said. Please see link for full article:
Addressing a gathering of atheists in his home state of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, a Democrat, compared the 9/11 atrocities to the destruction of the Reichstag, the German parliament, in 1933. This was probably burned down by the Nazis in order to justify Hitler's later seizure of emergency powers.
"It's almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that," Mr Ellison said. "After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have authority to do whatever he wanted."

Please write letters to Mr. Ellison demanding that he step down from his office.
