KEITH ELLISON & KHALID ABDUL MUHAMMED
By Michael B. Brodkorb | May 10, 2006
In 1995, Keith Ellison coordinated the Nation of Islam's Million Man March for Minnesota. He appeared with Khalid Abdul Muhammed at an organizing rally at the University of Minnesota. Khalid Abdul Muhammed said, "I'm sorry. I'm just hard on the white man. I was born to give this cracker hell from cradle to the grave." Source: Star Tribune, September 14, 1995
Khalid had previously been a spokesman for the Nation of Islam, but was suspended from the group for "referring to Jews as 'bloodsuckers,' calling for the genocide of white people, and demeaning both Pope John Paul II and homosexuals."
I found information about Khalid Abdul Muhammed on the Anti-Defamation League's website. Read some of the quotes below and remember that Keith Ellison, the DFL endorsed candidate for Congress in the 5th CD, worked with this racist thug.
Khalid Abdul Muhammed On Jews
"Who are the slumlords in the Black community? The so-called Jews. . . . Who is it sucking our blood in the Black community? A white imposter Arab and a white imposter Jew." Kean College, NJ, November 29, 1993
"I say you call yourself Goldstein, Silverstein and Rubinstein because you [sic] stealing all the gold and silver and rubies all over the earth. . . we call it jewelry but it's really Jew-elry, Jew-elry because of your deiving [sic] and stealing and rogueing [sic] and lying all over the face of the planet earth." Baltimore, MD, February 19, 1994
"I called them [Jews] bloodsuckers. I'm not going to change that. Our lessons talk about the bloodsuckers of the poor in the supreme wisdom of the Nation of Islam. It's that old no-good Jew, that old imposter Jew, that old hooked-nose, bagel-eating, lox-eating, Johnny-come-lately perpetrating a fraud, just crawled out of the caves and hills of Europe, so-called damn Jew. . . and I feel everything I'm saying up here is kosher." Baltimore, MD, February 19, 1994
"The practice of those freakish Rabbis [circumcision] is that they place their lips on the penis of these young boys and after they have cut the foreskin back, suck the blood from the head of the penis of their own young boys. . . ." San Francisco State University, May 21, 1997
"Well, I can't be an anti-Semite, in the sense that they say, because they're not the Semites. But let's leave that to the side, whatever the hell they say they are, I'm anti- [sic]. If you say you're a Semite — even though I know goddamn well you're not a Semite, if you just say you're one — I'm against you. If you say you're white, goddammit I'm against you. If you're a Jew, I'm against you. Whatever the hell you want to call yourself, I'm against you. Whatever the hell you want to call yourself." XXL (Volume 1, #1), September 1997
"We came in peace, we came in unity, we came in love, they changed all of the rules, and stop asking me about the Jews being the bloodsuckers of the Black nation, the no-good bastards. They are the bloodsuckers of the Black community. How many say they are the bloodsuckers of the Black community?" Million Youth March, Harlem, NY, September 5, 1998
Khalid Abdul Muhammed On the Holocaust
"You see, everybody always talk about Hitler exterminating 6 million Jews. . . . But don't nobody ever asked what did they do to Hitler? What did they do to them folks? They went in there, in Germany, the way they do everywhere they go, and they supplanted, they usurped, they turned around and a German, in his own country, would almost have to go to a Jew to get money. They had undermined the very fabric of the society." Kean College, NJ, November 29, 1993
"Tell us you lost 6 million. Historians, scholars, scientists, they went to some of the death camps. . . . It wasn't 6 million, it wasn't 5 million, it wasn't 4 million, it wasn't even 3 million. . . . Some of them say we'd be hard-pressed to get 1 1/2 million. Reports on the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis were bloated, exaggerated, probably fabricated." Brooklyn, NY, March 29, 1994
"There is a little bit of Hitler in all white people." NBC's "Donahue," May 12, 1994
"The nerve of them to get angry with him [O.J. Simpson attorney Johnnie L. Cochran Jr.] because he paralleled Mark Fuhrman with Adolf Hitler. Look at it, so-called Jew. Look at it, imposter Jew. Somebody must call you what you are. Somebody must look you in your cold lying blue eyes and pull the cover off of you today. I don't give a damn about you and I will give you hell from the cradle to the grave." Black Holocaust Nationhood Conference, October 15, 1995
Khalid Abdul Muhammed On Whites
"Now it is time to stand up and fight back. . . . There are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he changes." West Chester University, PA, February 17, 1992
"The white man is not only practicing racism and Zionism, and with the prostitution ring, the so-called Jew man with the Jew woman all over the world to make a few dollars, he is also practicing sexism. He's a racist, he's a Zionist, an imperialist. He's a no-good bastard. He's not a devil, the white man is the Devil." San Francisco State University, May 21, 1997
"Notice the crackers here at Cal Poly pretending to be righteous. Look at them as they walk around San Luis Obispo, arrogant peckerwoods. Stop going on college campuses and developing alliances with the white Zionists, and dicing your own people." California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, May 22, 1997

Keep it coming. There is a lot more out there. And it is time that the people learn the truth about this candidate before they blindly throw their support his way. If any of this stuff sticks it will bring the entire party down.
May 11th, 2006 at 6:02 am
Wow. We’ll see how true the libs are to their progressive values in response to this issue. Ellison should be embarrassed by and apologize for his association with Mr. Abdul Mohammed.
May 11th, 2006 at 6:44 am
I don’t think that I can support Ellison.
May 11th, 2006 at 6:46 am
Remember, Ellison is all about “unity”.
May 11th, 2006 at 7:13 am
So Ellison once associated with a racist anti-Semite. Yet Michelle Bachmann continues to be anti-gay. Yes, Ellison’s transgression is ten times worse.
May 11th, 2006 at 7:26 am
The DFL and EXTREEM LEFT have always supported HATE if they feel it will be a political advantage. They continue to work to divide this country at every opportunity. An example is the current fight over Illegal Alien’s and their exploitation of the poor. In their reality, getting a few votes is worth much more than the values and laws this nation was founded upon. Slash and burn politics has to be stopped because it’s not a value American can afford.
May 11th, 2006 at 8:23 am
“So Ellison once associated with a racist anti-Semite. Yet Michelle Bachmann continues to be anti-gay.”
Bachmann believes that after 3,000 years, we shouldn’t change the definition of marriage. And if we do, let the people of Minnesota vote on it. I really don’t think that compares to associating with a holocaust-denying Nazi. I wonder about those Highland Park Hebrew-Americans with their “we hate Republicans” bumper stickers feel about this.
May 11th, 2006 at 8:38 am
Bachmann and Fred Phelps = same person.
May 11th, 2006 at 8:44 am
“Bachmann and Fred Phelps = same person.”
Ah yes, the sign of intellectual rigor and excellence — false analogies.
May 11th, 2006 at 9:05 am
Do you think that Ellison will have to drop out?
May 11th, 2006 at 9:53 am
So, marriage was created in the legal sense 3,000 years ago? I would agree that the religious version of marriage may be that old, but Bachmann is not fighting to protect that. She is fighting to protect the legislative definition of marriage, which I am willing to bet is not that old. But, even using your logic, if all laws are absolute, and meant to remain unchanged, I expect that you will call for an immediate stop to the abortion debate, as, the judicial and legislative branches have held for years that abortion should remain legal.
Or, do old laws only deserve defending if you personally support them?
May 11th, 2006 at 10:11 am
One of the reasons I support keeping marriage as it is, is that the next step is for the left to destroy the Catholic chruch, Boy Scouts, Orthadox Jews, traditional Christian chruches.
It’s already started. Catholic Charities in Boston can’t set up adaptions anymore. Boy Scouts are kicked out of public parks in San Diego and City Hall in Berkeley. Do all churches that don’t support gay marriage lose their tax-exempt status? What about the Salvation Army?
It’s like Christmas. It started out by banning traditional Christmas carols in our schools, and now has gotten so far as banning of stuffed rabbits in St Paul city hall.
May 11th, 2006 at 10:15 am
George Bush kicked off his South Carolina campaign at Bob Jones University where the school bans inter-racial dating? Where is the outrage at him having associated with a racist like that?
Then of course, there is apparently no outrage either at the fact the Republican Warren Limmer used the occasion of naming a state fruit to make an extremely offensice anti-gay remark on the floor of the State Senate yesterday either. (http://www.dflers.org/story/2006/5/10/153938/507)
May 11th, 2006 at 10:35 am
Really Dave?
Then why did the 4th CD DFL Convention have the colors presented and the Pledge of Allegience led by a local Boy Scout Troop?
May 11th, 2006 at 10:41 am
Do you think the DFL Party will continue to support Ellison?
May 11th, 2006 at 12:16 pm
Yes they will support Keith. Years ago Keith has seperated himself from those remarks. He did it for sure by 1998 when he first ran for the state house and lost.
Dave and KenT are about as knowledgable on DFLers as Dave is in spelling. Too much Garage ilLogic. Any anti-Gay Marriage rally will have the most hateful and vile things you can fit on a sign. Same with any anti-abortion rally. Both sponsored, or at least supported by some of the best Christians out there.
Dave also forgets that his side runs the Senate, the House, the White House, the Judiciary, the Federal Agencies, the Governor the state Supreme Court and the state House. With all of that, you can’t help out the Catholic Charities from the big bad liberals? Are Republicans so ineffective that they now have had control of Washington and St Paul for a few years and still have the same complaints? By the way, everybody in Highland Park is not Jewish. Your hero, Joe Soucheray, lives there.
Keith has gotten a lot of support from the Jewish Community since Erlandson supporters (Lynn or is it ELP?) and the GOP started this wagon circle. Elected Officials and Jewish Community Leaders. Look for a few press conferences coming up soon. They realize that their issues are too important for a group like the GOP, who are the most reluctant to recognize anti-semetic and racist activities (don’t puff up, I will post every vote from the last 25 years on here and show you who really stands against equality), to define.
So, in effect, your screeds are galvanizing support for Ellison. Keep it up.
May 11th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
I do think that Erlandson would be a much stronger candidate.
May 11th, 2006 at 12:32 pm
Of course you do E “Lynn” P. How long did you work for him?
May 11th, 2006 at 12:50 pm
I just don’t think that Ellison represents the values of the DFL Party.
May 11th, 2006 at 12:53 pm
“Dave is in spelling”
I’m spelling-impaired. I’m the victim here. Hoping to get the ADA act amended for my people.
“By the way, everybody in Highland Park is not Jewish”
Just using that area as an example as there is a large Jewish-DFL population there.
May 11th, 2006 at 12:56 pm
“Are Republicans so ineffective that they now have had control of Washington and St Paul for a few years and still have the same complaints?”
Well, I’d have to say yes, actually they are. Republicans are acting like the Democrats of years ago. I want real conservatives in there.
May 11th, 2006 at 1:44 pm
Ellison is a liability; it will just be a matter of time before he implodes.
I think we need a better candidate. My vote will go to Erlandson in the Primary.
May 11th, 2006 at 2:01 pm
New bumper sticker:
Anyone But Ellison
May 11th, 2006 at 2:14 pm
One of the reasons I support keeping marriage as it is, is that the next step is for the left to destroy the Catholic chruch, Boy Scouts, Orthadox Jews, traditional Christian chruches.
Come on, no serious lefties want to abolish religion. I was raised Catholic. While I consider myself to be agnostic, I really don’t care what people believe as long as they don’t try to conflate their church and our government. Give me a break.
May 11th, 2006 at 2:25 pm
Will Ellison renounce his relationship with Khalid Abdul Muhammed?
May 11th, 2006 at 2:32 pm
I know Keith has met with clergy and representatives of all faiths in Minneapolis, including rabbis, to have productive discussions about their concerns.
If any of the conservative commenters here would actually just talk with Keith, they would see he holds all faiths in high regard and most certainly is not anti-semetic.
He, like anyone, is not defined by the every statement made by someone with whom he associated.
Pat Robertson comes to mind as an example on the national stage on the other side of the aisle. Just because Bush has associated with Pat, doesn’t mean I believe that Bush wants to assassinate Hugo Chavez, or that he thinks natural disasters are God’s will to trounce sinners.
As far as Ellison dropping out or Erlandson as an alternative, I think that ship has sailed. But who knows, maybe Mike can mount a challenge and surprise the pundits. Impossible to say, but Ellison’s momentum is undeniable.
The DFL is united behind Keith, those that know him respect and admire him as a responsible, faithful public servant. He is the endorsed candidate and I believe will be Minnesota’s next Congressman in the 5th district.
May 11th, 2006 at 2:34 pm
btw - when I say concerns I do not mean concerns about this issue, but their concerns about their community and the issues that matter to their congregations, I should have been more clear.
May 11th, 2006 at 2:47 pm
If the DFL is united behind Ellison, then why does he face possibly 4 candidates in the Primary?
May 11th, 2006 at 3:02 pm
Because there are possibly four candidates who are so selfish as to put their personal ambitions ahead of the community the profess to be a part of.
May 11th, 2006 at 3:04 pm
“Come on, no serious lefties want to abolish religion. I was raised Catholic. While I consider myself to be agnostic, I really don’t care what people believe as long as they don’t try to conflate their church and our government. Give me a break.”
So how do you explain what’s going on with St Thomas right now? They want to enforce centuries old church traditions and rules, they are under attack for that. What about the rumors going around Mpls that the reason Target kicked the Salvation Army out of their stores is because SA doesn’t give benefits to unmarried partners of their employees, gay or straight.
May 11th, 2006 at 3:10 pm
“What about the rumors going around Mpls that the reason Target kicked the Salvation Army out of their stores is because SA doesn’t give benefits to unmarried partners of their employees, gay or straight.”
That is just not true, that’s why it’s a rumor. Target simply decided to enforce the no solicitations policy from which SA had been, up to then, exempted.
May 11th, 2006 at 3:11 pm
Okay, take a tip from a right winger. You need someone at least close to mainstream liberal if you want an effective leader in congress. Think about….I forgot his name, but the guy from corkran (spelling?). As a Republican, I was very glad to see him go. He was pretty much just a fund raiser for the Democrats.
Ellison may play well with the Bush-haters in Minneapolis, but how effective will he be in working with the rest of the House in bringing legislation and projects favorable to that city?
May 11th, 2006 at 3:14 pm
If the DFL is united behind Ellison, then why does he face possibly 4 candidates in the Primary?
4 candidates? Mike hasn’t announced his decision, and Ember was in all along saying she was running in the primary, so that makes three.
Mike and Ember have every right, like anyone, not to abide the endorsement and run in the primary. I spoke with her at the CD-5 convention, she feels it’s the right choice for her. I don’t think it makes her a bad Democrat or DFLer, and I personally like her, but I will not be voting for or supporting and candidates not endorsed by the party. She made her choice, others can make theirs, so will I, and in September we’ll see what happens.
Disagreement and respect are not mutually exclusive, are they?
May 11th, 2006 at 3:17 pm
“Ellison may play well with the Bush-haters in Minneapolis, but how effective will he be in working with the rest of the House in bringing legislation and projects favorable to that city?”
Good point, but I disagree. First of all, Bush is not well liked by any Democrat anywhere, is he?
Keith has proven he can bring people together and have real debate, discussion, and when it’s needed, compromise. It’s part of politics, and I don’t think there is anything about his legislative style that would make adversely affect his ability to govern well for the people of the 5th.
Plus, in November the Democrats will have control of the House, so I would think he’ll be very well received, being a Democrat and all…
May 11th, 2006 at 3:28 pm
“Because there are possibly four candidates who are so selfish as to put their personal ambitions ahead of the community”
How can you say that Erlandson is selfish? After all he has done for the DFL Party.
May 11th, 2006 at 4:04 pm
Ellison is a racist!
Erlandson would be a much better candidate. My vote will go to Erlandson in the Primary.
May 11th, 2006 at 6:48 pm
A person with a documented racist/separtist past got selected because 172 people didn’t have the time to do their homework and got easily swayed by vociferous public speaking.
Unfortunately Mike won’t run becuase he was weak from the beginning and walked away in a bad way, and they won’t let him or anyone forget it.
May 11th, 2006 at 8:30 pm
OK, here’s the deal. The word about Ellison has really gotten out yet. He was endorsed by hard-core activists who don’t even come close to representing the mainstream of the DFL in the 5th District or Minnesota in general. Those who think he’s a shoo-in have another thing coming. Do you really think people in St. Louis Park and Golden Valley (and yes, many of them are, like myself, Jewish) are going to feel comfortable with this guy as their US Congressman? September is a long ways away, and Rep. Ellison has some major explaining to do. So far the media has pretty much glossed over this issue regarding his past links to the Nation of Islam, but I don’t think that’s going to last. I know this sounds like the rationalizations of a bigot, but I’ll say it anyway - I would sincerely love for my district to have the first African-American congressman from Minnesota elected. But not this guy. One word: Farrakhan. Mark my words, Ellison is in for some tribulation in the next few weeks and months over this issue. I’m a Democrat, but I cannot and will not vote for someone who has links to the Nation of Islam. Period. And all of you who are so certain that Ellison has it “locked up”….don’t be so sure.
May 11th, 2006 at 11:05 pm
Looks like the erlandson campaign purchased the domain name ostrowforcongress.com which the real site is paulostrowforcongress.com, and they are using it to trick people into thinking that paul ostrow is supporting erlandson. This reminds me of when the erlandson campaign were using the domain names with gail dorfmans name in them, and forwarding them to a blog attacking gail dorfman and to the mike erlandson campaign site. As someone who was supporting gail dorfman, I was very upset at the tactics the erlandson people used and it looks like very little has changed. I hope Mike Erlandson doesn’t get into the primary race, because all we will see is negative attacks and mudslinging.
May 12th, 2006 at 12:16 am
Mike Erlandson tried to steal the race by having Sabo wait as long as he did to retire. The Democrats saw through it.
The Republicans are trying to paint Keith Ellison as a raving Nation of Islam mouthpiece. The Democrats will see through it.
I remember a day when politics was debated on the policy level and not the personal level. All this chatter from pretend democrats makes me believe that the Republicans have already run out of substance to attack with, so now they are resorting to desperate measures.
I can’t wait to see Keith Ellison sworn in. Maybe I will send Ron Carey and Mike Erlandson sympathy baskets.
May 12th, 2006 at 8:15 am
I think that it was disgusting the way Erlandson was treated at the convention.
Ellison is a racist!
I will never sink so low to vote for a racist.
May 12th, 2006 at 8:43 am
And I will never vote for anyone who thinks their years of service to the party earned them a free seat in congress.
He is a former party chair, and he is considering bucking the endorsement? What does this say about the strength of the party if even the guy who ran it for six years laughs at it. If Mike Erlandson wants to help the Republicans, he should run.
May 12th, 2006 at 9:41 am
Ellison will be an embarrassment to the DFL Party.
May 12th, 2006 at 9:47 am
Down with Ellison, down with Bachmann, down with all the extremists who have hijacked the Democratic and Republican parties.
Moderates, it’s time to get ANGRY and take your parties back!
May 12th, 2006 at 10:02 am
Ellison may have views that are in line with Wellstone, and I don’t have a problem with that. That’s not what we are discussing here.
I have a problem with Ellison’s racist beliefs.
May 12th, 2006 at 10:04 am
Just found out this morning that aside from the other Erlandson staffer (Reede Webster) using false names on here flaming the rumor mill against Keith, Lynn is actually a woman named Erika. Erika use to work for Erlandson and now works for RT Rybak. So now, the Mpls taxpayers are paying for Erlandson’s campaign tactics.
What a stand up guy that Erlandson is.
May 12th, 2006 at 10:12 am
I do support Erlandson. I think the he would be a much better candidate.
Ellison is a racist and a liability to the Party.
May 12th, 2006 at 10:34 am
Ellison in the House, ran Republicans Arlon Lindner and Rich Stanek out of the House. Erlandson’s watch as party chair oversaw Republicans take over in increasing numbers including almost every office in 2002.
May 12th, 2006 at 10:41 am
“Lynn”:
Are you indeed Erica Prosser as is suggested in the comments here?
If so, are you blogging for work?
Cause this is not how I like my tax dollars spent.
May 12th, 2006 at 10:54 am
You still have not addressed the primary topic here.
Ellison is a racist and it will just be a matter of time before he implodes.
He will bring down the Party with him.
May 12th, 2006 at 10:58 am
No, the primary topic is your credability.
Are you indeed Erica Prosser as is suggested in the comments here?
If so, are you blogging for work?
Your choice to avoid the question tells us it is true. A simple no is easy if you are not her.
May 12th, 2006 at 11:05 am
No the primary topic is Ellison’s credibility. Ellison was endorsed for the US Congress.
I believe that the evidence posted on this blog clearly demonstrates that Ellison is a racist.
Do you have any evidence to prove that he is not a racist?
May 12th, 2006 at 11:10 am
So we can now all accept that you are indeed Erica Prosser who works for the Minneapolis Mayor’s office.
The same Erica Prosser who once worked for Mike Erlandson.
So, a few questions for you Erica.
1) Does Mike know about your attacks on Keith?
2) If he does, did he condone it?
3) Does Mayor Ryback know what you are doing on city time using city resources?
4) Do you think this is an appropriate use of tax payer funded resources for you to take time out of the day to engage in overtly political work?
May 12th, 2006 at 11:37 am
I await your answers Erica. Or should I just forward this conversation to your superiors and ask for their take on the appropriateness of tax payer dollars being used for overtly political work on behalf of Mike Erlandson?
May 12th, 2006 at 11:59 am
It does not appear that you are able to defend Ellison.
I would like Ellison to respond to this:
In 1997, Ellison came out in support of Joanne Jackson. Jackson was the executive director of the Minneapolis Initiative Against Racism,
and was threatened with losing her job for saying “Jews are the most racist white people I know.” Ellison said that the board’s first
initiative against racism should “be directed at itself, or at least the 11 board members who voted to dismiss Joanne Jackson” for her
comments. Source: Star Tribune, February 3, 1997
In 1995, Ellison coordinated the Nation of Islam’s Million Man March for Minnesota. He appeared with Khalid Abdul Muhammed at an
organizing rally at the University of Minnesota. Muhammed said, “I’m sorry. I’m just hard on the white man. I was born to give this cracker hell from cradle to the grave.” Source: Star Tribune,
September 14, 1995
In 1995, Ellison spoke out on the Qubilah Shabazz trial. Shabazz, daughter of Malcom X, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder
against Louis Farrakhan. Shabazz is known to believe Farrakhan was behind the assassination of her father. Ellison said of the case, “I
would call the government’s conduct into question.” Source: Pioneer Press, May 1, 1995
In 1993, Ellison ridiculed the DFL, “The DFL, the so-called party of the common man, is not raising questions about the punitiveness of
this legislation.” (Referring to a federal crime bill that put 100,000 more police on the streets and build more prisons.) Source: Star Tribune, December 17, 1993
At a rally in 1992, Ellison claimed, “Black people do not live under a democracy. You don’t have an obligation to obey a government that
considers you to be less than human.” He was joined in the rally by Spike Moss, who threatened the attendees, “If there is one uniform sticking it to a black man and there are six of you seeing that uniform stick it to him, bring it to him. If I find out your name,
and you didn’t bring it to him, I’ll bring it to you.” Source: Star Tribune, May 1, 1992
May 12th, 2006 at 12:47 pm
Go ahead and ask him. I don’t work for the guy. I didn’t endorse him. That has nothing to do with my questions to you.
I am a Minneapolis resident asking you Erica, a city employee questions as to the use of my tax dollars by you.
1) Does Mike know about your attacks on Keith?
2) If he does, did he condone it?
3) Does Mayor Ryback know what you are doing on city time using city resources?
4) Do you think this is an appropriate use of tax payer funded resources for you to take time out of the day to engage in overtly political work?
Avoiding the questions would be a mistake Erica.
May 12th, 2006 at 12:50 pm
Can anyone defend Ellison?
May 12th, 2006 at 12:54 pm
What does that have to do with you illegal use of Minneapolis tax dollars? Did I ever claim he didn’t do it? No. Did I say you were wrong? No.
I am asking about your use of MY tax dolalrs to condust policial work when you should be working for me doing city business.
Lynn:
1) Does Mike know about your attacks on Keith?
2) If he does, did he condone it?
3) Does Mayor Ryback know what you are doing on city time using city resources?
4) Do you think this is an appropriate use of tax payer funded resources for you to take time out of the day to engage in overtly political work?
5) Are you or are you not Erica Prosser?
May 12th, 2006 at 12:57 pm
Nice try,
Can anyone defend Ellison?
May 12th, 2006 at 1:00 pm
A simple no ends my questions.
Your refusal to simply say, no that is not me forces me to contemplate forwarding these comments to your superiors. If you are not her, why put her in jeopardy?
1) Does Mike know about your attacks on Keith?
2) If he does, did he condone it?
3) Does Mayor Ryback know what you are doing on city time using city resources?
4) Do you think this is an appropriate use of tax payer funded resources for you to take time out of the day to engage in overtly political work?
5) Are you or are you not Erica Prosser?
May 12th, 2006 at 1:03 pm
It appears that there is no defense for Ellison.
Ellison is a racist!
May 12th, 2006 at 1:10 pm
This is your final chance Lynn. I have now asked you a number of times if you are Erica Prosser who works for my mayor’s office.
All you have had to do is say no.
If you again refuse to say yes or no, I will forward this comment thread to the Mayor’s office and ask that they look into your actions using city services.
If you do not wish to respond in public, I can be reached at “concernedinmpls06@yahoo.com”
If by the end of the day I have heard nothing, I will report you.
If you are not Erica Prosser, I would hope you would let me know and avoid any undue problems this would cause her by your hand and refusal to simply answer my questions.
Again:
1) Does Mike know about your attacks on Keith?
2) If he does, did he condone it?
3) Does Mayor Ryback know what you are doing on city time using city resources?
4) Do you think this is an appropriate use of tax payer funded resources for you to take time out of the day to engage in overtly political work?
5) Are you or are you not Erica Prosser?

Please check out my latest post on Ellison and Joanne Jackson.

Sounds like Ellison needs some help.
There is really no defense for his actions.
He is a racist and should be defeated in the Primary.

You people need to stop your irrelevant pissing contest. Get back to the subject at hand.
Here’s another opinion piece written by Ellison (under the name “Keith E. Hakim”) in the Minnesota Daily on 11/27/89 while he was a third-year law student (see page 7 of this pdf file which must be downloaded):

I won’t even attempt to explain the details of his argument (broadly, it’s about Louis Farrakhan and the definition of racism). You must read it for youself and form your own opinions.
The stunning thing about this piece is that the editor of the Minnesota Daily found the content of this piece to be “a genuine threat to the long-term safety and well-being of the Jewish people” and allowed a rebuttal to be printed simulataneous to the publication of Ellison’s piece. Read it! It’s on the bottom of the same page.
More questions for Ellison to answer. Why didn’t the 5th District DFL endorsing convention ask him about any of this?

To make sure that the record is complete, Ellison (again, writing as “Keith E. Hakim”) responded to the Editor of the Minnesota Daily in an opinion piece in the Daily on 11/30/89 (page 7):

There are also two other pieces on the same page responding to Ellison’s original opinion piece, including one written by the executive director of the Anti-Defamation League of Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Voters should read this material.

I spoke at length with Erica Prosser yesterday. I’ve known her for almost a decade and worked with her for years. “Lynn” is not Erica Prosser.
I also know Keith, well. A lot of these recycled allegations have been publicly addressed by Ellison. I’ll let his campaign answer this as they see fit. Logging in on a Republican Web Log to address them, isn’t probably going to happen. So, I suggest you either contact the campaign or do your own research.
I do have an idea of who this “Lynn” person is but, there’s a bigger point here. DFLers are acting like the whacked-out Moonbats these Republicans think we are right in the their living room(here on MDE). The sole purpose of this blog is to expose Democrats. It’s flying on auto-pilot now.
Let’s pull our heads out of collective asses and at the very least, go over to a DFL blog and duke this out and stop doing MDE’s work for him.
