It's Constitutional, not "radical": free speech for all men and women, including Muslims

[DemocracyMouse]

Ilhan Omar was brought to task for calling out, in the great American tradition of free speech, the buying of politicians by a foreign country (and not by a religious group) and many prominent Jews agreed with her. Time to take some deep breaths and start letting some light in. The real anti-semitism is in Trump's corner.

Demonizing Ilhan Omar: Why the entire political establishment wants to crush one woman

Shoddy media reporting, along with elite fears of what the American public really wants, have driven this disgrace

I wish I could say I were surprised at the demonization of Ilhan Omar by an establishment that remains eager to whitewash Elliott Abrams' record of war crimes. But I’m not. In fact, it’s exactly what I’ve come to expect. The super-strict (yet simultaneously sloppy) language policing to which Omar has been subjected is ludicrously asymmetric.

No matter how heinously conservatives may behave, Democrats always bend over backward to punish anyone on their side whom conservatives single out as comparable, no matter how far-fetched or bogus those conservative claims might be. We’re seeing that now as House Democrats struggle over a resolution aimed at rebuking Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for nonexistent anti-Semitic comments. As Paul Waldman explained at the Washington Post: Omar did not accuse Jews of holding dual loyalties. Rather, she objected to dual loyalties being demanded of her — and those who attacked her only proved her point.
