Because the left are hypocrites when it comes to Islam. They should hate a lot of Muslim beliefs as much as anyone. Especially with the way they treat women and gays. Yet, the left hides under the façade of moral and cultural relativism. If they really loved it so much, like you said, why don't more convert in this country?

The DNC chair, Keith Ellison, is literally a Muslim. Proud of it. He was sworn in on the Quran, a book that is used today to justify behavior that is against EVERYTHING our society deems acceptable. He called for Imams to be more political. He hates Jews a whole lot more than any of those Charlottesville Nazi's do.

So yea, until you can show me a Republican equivalent I'm sticking by what I said. The leader of the Democratic party is a card carrying proud Muslim and won't deny it. Can you make the same statement about any Republican office holder in relations to white supremacy?

Ellison is not in fact the DNC chair and his campaign for that position was actively undermined and defeated by the establishment of the party. Try again.

Can you find a statement where Ellison explicitly states that he hates Jews?

_________________

Sorry, deputy chair. Still disgusting.

Michael Olenick, a Jewish student who clashed with Ellison and who was the opinions editor at the [Minnesota Daily, the student newspaper], recalled Ellison maintaining that an oppressed group could not be racist toward Jews because Jews were themselves oppressors. “European white Jews are trying to oppress minorities all over the world,” Olenick remembers Ellison arguing. “Keith would go on all the time about ‘Jewish slave traders.'” Another Jewish student active in progressive politics recalled Ellison’s incredulous response to the controversy over Zionism. “What are you afraid of?” Ellison asked. “Do you think black nationalists are gonna get power and hurt Jews?”

Haha, long time keith.

It's kind of hard to get me wrapped around the axle about some fringe right wingers who see (((them))) everywhere, when the deputy chair of the DNC actually loathes Jews.

There is a lot of prejudice being spewed around this joint and it isn't being spewed by me. There are lot of hypocrites and frauds who populate this place. It's funny how people on here have no problem promoting stereotypes about others yet cry foul when the charge is levied against them. The same people that vehemently argue that all whites aren't racist are the same damn hypocrites that continuously claim that all Muslims are terrorists. Every Muslim lives and breathes to wipe out America or the story goes. Meanwhile we are continuously blowing up Muslim countries and waging war. I know its a repetitive point but so is the All Muslims are evil bullshit. None of it has in basis in fact and the shit is dangerous to be honest. It is right wing propaganda cloaked in bullshit nativism. It does harm to this country because it is patently false.

I would rather have Trump or one of his bots in office vs someone like Ellison.

That post when your cornered and start pointing fingers in all directions.

Yes, Steve Bannon is a completely fringe figure in American politics and the evidence about his views scarcely amounts to much compared to Ellison.

So only SOME of the Dems believe this while ALL the Republicans believe that!

For some reason whenever I think of the King guy from Iowa I tend to think "Mainstream Republican". Same with that Judge Moore clown from Alabama and that kook Gov from Maine.

Nazi's. They're still getting mileage off the single greatest performance in anti-semetic history and that was 70 years ago. They're like the Wilt Chamberlains of anti-semetism.

Steve Bannon is 1. Out of office and 2. Not going around calling out journalists with ((())) or calling Shaun King Talcum X. That would be the fringe.

2 of the 3 people I just id'd are in office and as is message board policy they will be ignored. Moore will probably be elected too.

First of all, I have never seen anyone here- or really anyone anywhere- claim that "all Muslims are terrorists." Secondly, do you not understand the difference between an immutable quality like skin color and a philosophy that one chooses to follow?

You choose to ignore the customary generalizations that flow regarding Muslims around here. You champion the cause of those that choose to never make a distinction. WYC?

_________________

The entire article CH linked to is about how Bannon et. al. explicitly encouraged Milo to appeal to the segment of the population that does do 2 and normalize those views.

Also if engaging in the types of acts of 2 is what is required to actually be labeled anti-Semitic, then how exactly did you come to the conclusion that Ellison loathes Jews? I don't believe I've ever seen him Tweet anything like that. Why is the evidential standard to be judged anti-Semitic seemingly so high for Bannon but so low for Ellison?

You didn't answer my question, so I will assume you don't understand the difference.

The constitution says that we should be tolerant of others beliefs yet that only applies to certain groups apparently.

I can make distinction between actions and beliefs. You can't.

_________________

The Constitution doesn't say anything like that. Do you really have a doctorate in history? There are plenty of beliefs that you aren't tolerant of, and for good reason.

Oh...oh my god.

There is a clause regarding religious freedoms in case I am wrong. We can choose to debate whether that constitutes tolerance or not. I don't because I know what freedom implies.

Second I agree its likely Bannon is anti Semitic, but there isn't the history of him being openly hostile towards Jews like Ellison. Now in his personal life he may don SS garb but so far no one has gone public.

The evidential standard is the same. There is just more against Ellison.
