Farrakhan's Candidate
In a clear sign of the deepening Unholy Alliance between the Democratic Party Left and Islamist extremists, Minnesotas Democratic Party has nominated for U.S. Congress a former member of the Nation of Islam who has defended membership in the Bloods street gang, and called cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and leftist terrorist Sara Jane Olson freedom fighters. Voters in the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party (DFL), the Minnesota state affiliate of the national Democratic Party, elected Keith Ellison Hakim as their candidate to replace Minneapoliss outgoing 14-term DFL Congressman Martin Sabo in the 5th Congressional District. Encompassing Minneapolis and its near suburbs, the Fifth is the state's most liberal urban district and the DFL's greatest stronghold, writes the Minneapolis St. Paul City Pages. Rejecting three other well-funded and highly qualified DFL candidates, the DFL endorsed Ellison, who has dropped his Islamic name, Hakim, for the race. The DFL is now handing its greatest stronghold over to a candidate with long ties to Louis Farrakhans anti-Semitic Nation of Islam and who has already accrued at least an estimated $20,000-$35,000 in funding from the terrorist-connected Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), including the maximum personal donation from CAIR chief Nihad Awad.
