Tea Party urge ouster of Dem because he’s Muslim

Apparently a week before the midterms it’s okay to throw subtlety, and the Constitution, out the window. Over the weekend the Tea Party Nation sent out an email to Minnesota voters backing independent Lynne Torgerson over Democrat Rep. Keith Ellison. So far, so typical. However here was the Tea Party’s rationale for opposing Ellison:
There are a lot of liberals who need to be retired this year, but there are few I can think of more deserving than Keith Ellison. Ellison is one of the most radical members of congress. He has a ZERO rating from the American Conservative Union. He is the only Muslim member of congress. He supports the Counsel for American Islamic Relations, HAMAS and has helped congress send millions of tax to terrorists in Gaza.
Emphasis mine (also the link, which better explains Ellison’s connection with CAIR). Not that that line needed emphasis, per se. It’s disturbingly, glaringly, obvious that the Tea Party Nation would like you to vote against Ellison because his is Muslim. Imagine for a moment inserting any other religion, or gender, or sexual orientation in lieu of Muslim and think what the reaction would be.
