Rep. Keith Ellison (MN-05) Testimony Before House Homeland Security Committee

[SalahuddinBakr]

Some people on here still show there ignorance, what a awful disease.

[Ninetyone11]

We are a country founded by racists theologists and superstitious Puritan's. We have been at an intellectual evolution divide for some time. Pick your path well or be left behind. Bigot's get elected to represent their bigoted constituents. Mr. King, the red scare is calling and they want you back. Embarrassing.

Ellison speaks for the silent majority of muslims out there who would never harm another human being. Why isn't there a hearing into the terror attacks by radical so called Christians? King is no better than McCarthy. This is meant to be a diversion from the real story: Wisconsin.

[megustaface]

Listen to those crocodile tears.

Americans have long seen Mohammed Salman Hamdani as a hero. Too bad Representative Ellison saw him only as a Democratic prop.

"If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the I.R.A. for it." - Peter King in a pro-IRA rally in 1985. What a freakin hypocrite.

[itchcity]

They're going to spend so much time focusing on Muslims that some other kind of terrorist is going to slip under their nose and hit us hard. This is a shame

[ed2kou1]

TERRIABLE ACTING! DID HE CRY ON 9-11. DOESHE KEEP HIS WIF EIN A BURQUA

[KMO325]

Senator McCarthy, I hope Rep. King makes you proud.

[force3264]

We could think of this as an initiation. In order for Muslim to be accepted, they need to be prosecuted for no reason other than baseless fear. It happened to the Japanese during WW2. It even happened to imaginary communist during the McCarthy hearings. It would be Un-American to not have these hearings. Polls show the majority of Americans want these hearings. It would be discrimination against Muslims if we do not have these hearings.

If you don't get it after hearing Ellison's testimony, there's nothing short of divine intervention that can get through to you. Wake up and check yourselves, America...

One a side note, I'd also like to thank Rep. Pelosi for posting this video and not using "Ellison Cries At Testimony" or some variation of such as the title. There's so many reasons why this video should be watched and not just to see a proud, strong man become overwhelmed by emotion.

What a hypocrite. Peter King was an ardent supporter of the IRA.

[monichat]

@wayne388 I would have supported the IRA also, the protestants have no business being in Northern Ireland. In fact there should be no Northern Ireland, only Ireland. Ireland was partitioned by the British to retain the part of Ireland where protestants (English, Scots) were making money by bleeding the Irish. By the way protestants in Northern Ireland were terrorists. Did anybody say then that all protestants were extremists and terrorists ?
