Wikipedia. LOL. Even that quotes a Minneapolis nonprofit exec as saying " "Jews are among the most racist white people" and Ellison (under his religious name Mohammed) saying "[We] stand by Ms. Jackson. We stand by the truth contained in the remarks attributed to her, and by her right to express her view without sanction." His association with Nation of Islam, the CAIR fiasco, organizing an event called "Zionism: Imperialism, White Supremacy or Both?" (and refusing to hear concerns from Jews about it), getting caught writing the weird pro-Farrakhan pieces under a fake name (did you READ those pieces?) and when running for office, conveniently saying he was wrong for being pro-Farrakhan (but taking campaign contributions from Hamas supporters). Not exactly a stretch to suggest he's not liking the yamulke wearers.
