In his quest to become chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) has become the victim of a witch hunt and smear campaign.

Some Jewish groups have branded the dynamic, progressive leader as an anti-Semite. This is about stifling free speech and criticism of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinians, and the future of the Democratic Party itself. Ellison deserves better than this, as do black people, who have proven themselves the most loyal constituency of the Democratic Party.

Big props for passing along this latest wake up call to all of us destee.com posters...
 
I hope the brother has beefed up security around him.

How many Jews are elected and in Congress?

Bernie Sanders supports Ellison. After others in Congress give serious thought as to the impact of a changed relationship with Israel, will they support him as well? Israel has deep, deep pockets and strong ties to the US and its elections, and we whine about Russia influencing our politics?

He signed up to be a part of that system, and is now vying for a leadership position. After seeing how Obama was treated the past 8 years, he ain't know that racism, witch hunts, mudslinging and character assassination come with the territory?

Did he really think he was some kind of special negro that would be exempt from the nastiness of opposition politics in this country?

Did he seriously think that verbally renouncing Farrakhan - a punk move at best - was going to magically make his past defense of him disappear in the eyes of people - Jews - who are still hunting WW 2 Nazi war criminals after 70 years?

Did he seriously believe that telling the truth about apartheid in Israel to people who despise the truth could be swept under the carpet and kept there?

The take home lesson is this: Don't make a bed that you're not willing to lie in.
