These people really hate Muslims...
aren't muslims Americans too http://thinkprogress.org/2010/10/08/ellison-target-hate/

Anti-Muslim Group Wants Rep. Ellison Off Anti-Semitism Task Force He ‘Has No Business Being On’

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), one of two Muslim members of Congress, is under attack from an anti-Muslim group because he sits on the Congressional Task Force on Anti-Semitism. The paradoxically named Americans Against Hate held a rally in Florida this week to call for Ellison’s immediate removal, and issued a statement asking Rep. Ron Klein (D-FL), co-chair of CTFAS, to take Ellison off the task force:

Representative Klein has both the authority and the responsibility to remove Keith Ellison from the Congressional Task Force on Anti-Semitism, a group that Ellison has no business being on. We demand that he does so immediately. Every day that Ellison sits on that task force is an offense to those who fell victim to anti-Semitism and/or radical Islam.

AAH claims that Ellison has “associations” with groups that are supposedly connected

1. I'm Jewish and the hatred against Muslims makes me sick.
I feel so ashamed of "my people" sometimes. :cry:

6. Have you missed the Jewish anti-Muslim sentiment in the world?
Being a persecuted people doesn't mean being a perfect people.

5. That kind of evil stupidity makes me physically ill.
Edited on Mon Oct-11-10 01:49 PM by BrklynLiberal
It is always fascinating to see how the RWingnut, neo-con groups find names that are the TOTAL and complete opposite of what their true agenda actually is.
It was rampant in every thing that pres shit-for-brains and his minions did while in office, and they have perfected the process by now.

True "1984" - speak: Has there ever been a better application of doublethink than the current repuke/rwingnuts/tbaggers?

Ministry of Peace (Newspeak: Minipax)

Minipax reports Oceania's perpetual war.

The primary aim of modern warfare (in accordance with the principles of doublethink, this aim is simultaneously recognized and not recognized by the directing brains of the Inner Party) is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living. Ever since the end of the nineteenth century, the problem of what to do with the surplus of consumption goods has been latent in industrial society. At present, when few human beings even have enough to eat, this problem is obviously not urgent, and it might not have become so, even if no artificial processes of destruction had been at work.

Ministry of Plenty (Newspeak: Miniplenty)

The Ministry of Plenty rations and controls food, goods, and domestic production; every fiscal quarter, the Miniplenty publishes false claims of having raised the standard of living, when it has, in fact, reduced rations, availability, and production. The Minitrue substantiates the Miniplenty claims by revising historical records to report numbers supporting the current, "increased rations".

Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue)

The Ministry of Truth controls information: news, entertainment, education, and the arts. Winston Smith works in the Minitrue RecDep (Records Department), "rectifying" historical records to concord with Big Brother's current pronouncements, thus everything the Party says is true.

Ministry of Love (Newspeak: Miniluv)

The Ministry of Love identifies, monitors, arrests, and converts real and imagined dissidents. In Winston's experience, the dissident is beaten and tortured, then, when near-broken, is sent to Room 101 to face "the worst thing in the world"—until love for Big Brother and the Party replaces dissension.

Doublethink

The keyword here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink. Doublethink is basically the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.


This list does not even begin to scratch the surface of RW bizzaro-world group names. I think that DU posters could come up with thousands of group names that fit the bizzaro-world description.

Right Wing organizations come in all shapes and sizes, from think tanks to legal groups, local and national lobbying organizations, foundations and media forums. At any given moment, the Right is at work in our public school systems, courthouses, in Congress and state assemblies. At the same time, right-wing groups are reaching huge audiences through media outlets they own or influence — promoting regressive policies that seek to drive wedges between and among Americans.

These often single-issue groups have the ability to create multi-issue networks that can respond on a wide range of issues. People For the American Way Foundation’s library has files on over 800 groups and almost 300 individuals documenting their activities and providing information about their efforts to reshape society. This section presents a small portion of that information.

10. The guy who runs the AAH is one of the most bigoted cretins I've ever had
the misfortune to run across online.

He is given too much credit by the media and by those in power. He should be publicly shamed, but as he speaks to choir down her in South Florida, he'll be allowed to continue to spread his hate. He's our version of the Phelps clan.
