DP, I know. Its Ellison. 'Nuff said. |
Its just an example of anti-semitism at the top of leadership. Ellison has been quoted in his school days ranting about "Jewish Slave Traders". You can read all about it on Mother Jones if you care to. As you may recall too, Ellison used to host a radio show called "Black Power Perspectives." He's a deeply flawed man. How many other examples of leftwing anti-semitism would you like? |
The right LOVES bothsidesism.
The president himself is a racist who encourages anti-Semitic violence. And the right is playing up a poet and Keith Ellison. What jokes modern conservatives are. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trumps-embrace-of-anti-semitism
Jew here. First: Louis Farrakhan is despicable and should be shunned from public life. The heads of the women's march who embraced him: same. The poet who embraced Ickes: same. Second: I worry FAR FAR more about the president feeling happy that Jews got shot on Shabbat in Pittsburgh than about a poet and Keith Ellison. Third: The difference between the president and Keith Ellison is that Keith Ellison condemns the anti-semite, and the president dogwhistles to the Daily Stormer because Republican politics is based on hate (hate to get votes for the donors and corporations.) |
