Teabag idiot challenges Cong. Keith Ellison

[hifiguy]

Keith Ellison, one of two Muslim members of Congress, has drawn a Tea Party challenger who says she is running because she believes Ellison is a "radical Islamist."

Lynne Torgerson wrote a post last week on the website of Tea Party Nation on the need to ban Shariah in the U.S., and her claim that Ellison sees Islamic law as supreme:

I, Lynne Torgerson, am running for Congress in Minnesota, against radical Islamist Keith Ellison. Keith Ellison fails to oppose banning Islamic Sharia law in the United States. He accuses people of trying to ban it as "conspiratorilists." Keith Ellison also fails to support that the United States Constitution should be supreme over Islamic Sharia law.

My Congressman, Keith Ellison, represents one of the most reliably Democratic districts in the country. I don't think it has sent a Repuke to Congress in my lifetime and I am 50+.

This should be amusing. What is disturbing is that people like Torgerson are running around loose and unmedicated.

1. But she would replace the Constitution with Mosaic Law.

The so-called 'Christians' would hate a truly Christian nation.

They want an Old Testament, an eye for an eye, smite thy enemy country.

6. Clearly you did not read my post

This district has sent nothing but very liberal Democrats to the House for fifty years, usually by margins of 20+%. Congressman Ellison is very well liked by his constituents, including me.

8. I was wondering when that guy's pizza would show up

He's been around long enough to become, in the words of the old SNL sketch, a painful rectal itch. Thanks, mods!

5. As resident of his district...

...there is no way in hell this woman will beat Ellison. He is adored in these parts. :)

7. Yep, he has a very safe district

And the Sharia talking point from the last Oklahoma election will not work at all in Ellison's or other districts (maybe the 6th I guess).

9. Unmedicated and uneducated.

Bad, bad combo.
