You Know the Story Ellison Told During King Hearings That Brought Him to Tears? Yeah, It’s a Total Crock of Shit…

Here’s the video of Ellison crying in case you missed it:

Now here’s the real story.

(NRO) — This morning, Rep. Keith Ellison (Democratic-Farmer-Labor party, Minn.) appropriated a hearing on Islamic radicalism by weeping his way through a speech about whata-buncha-nasty-bigots Americans are. He chose as his case in point Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a Pakistani-born Muslim American who rushed to lower Manhattan on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, to assist in rescue efforts, and died in the collapse of the World Trade Center. Here’s how Representative Ellison tells the story of the aftermath of his death:

After the tragedy some people tried to smear his character solely because of his Islamic faith. Some people spread false rumors and speculated that he was in league with the attackers only because he was Muslim. It was only when his remains were identified that these lies were fully exposed. Mohammed Salman Hamdani was a fellow American who gave his life for other Americans. His life should not be defined as a member of an ethnic group or a member of a religion, but as an American who gave everything for his fellow citizens.

Does Ellison’s account check out with reality?

No. It is actually pretty close to the opposite of the truth. In fact, six weeks after the September 11 attacks — before Hamdani’s remains were identified, which Ellison implies to be the turning point of public perception — Congress signed the PATRIOT Act into law with this line included: “Many Arab Americans and Muslim Americans have acted heroically during the attacks on the United States, including Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a 23-year-old New Yorker of Pakistani descent, who is believed to have gone to the World Trade Center to offer rescue assistance and is now missing.” That is, Hamdani was actually singled out for particular high honors among the thousands of victims of the September 11 attacks.

There’s little evidence of the “rumors” of which Ellison speaks, either. Poke around yourself. Go to Google and search for Mohammed Salman Hamdani’s name, using various time frames from before today’s hearings (say, in the week after the September 11 attack). You’ll discover two discordant sets of returns: none for sites and news reports accusing Hamdani of being a terrorist, and many thousands of pages honoring him as a hero while claiming that he was “widely accused” of being a terrorist.

Keep reading…

    Mohammed Salman Hamdani died denying allah’s will..

    Ellison’s “tears” – Islamization watch – What’s Taqiyya?

    [SATIRE]

    (March 9)

    CAIR: (Frantic) (voice breaking…) This is our test… this is it, We can’t fail, we have to demonize Rep. King..

    ELLISON: of course, it’s like a Muslim Fatwa.

    CAIR: So listen, as you know we are a very powerful Islamic lobby, [we appear as “moderates,” and we know how to (ab)use it.

    ELLISON: Sure.

    CAIR: And we have experience with the American mentality.

    The plan is with the YouTube era, we have been thinking…

    ELLISON: What?

    CAIR: Putting up a show? “Taqiyya” (deceiving the infidel)

    ELLISON: Like?

    CAIR: Something along the line of ‘We are victims…’ – style.

    ELLISON: Ah ha, thank you Brother. We’ll be working on it, what should be embedded in it, I mean, what case should I use as a banner of ‘Muslim hero’ to beautify all of us and distract America from the real danger coming from so many Muslims?

    CAIR: Funny that you mentioned it, we have been pushing to rewrite 911 attack… so we have that “story” of a mother who won the FBI and “convinced” them that her som died… trying to save others.

    ELLISON: That’s a bombshell. Muhammad loves you.

    CAIR: If you need advice in gaming the infidels, we learned how to joggle in between sending hidden messages of glorifying jihadists or at least excusing terrorists. and acting as if we “denounce “radical Islam. I hope you get it, it takes practice.

    (March 10)

    L. FARRAKHAN Nation of Islam:
    Hey there brother Asalamu Alaikum. Wow! What a show, it sends a shiver in the spine of every “white” and “blue eyed devil.” Peace, peace upon you, Islam is peace…

    ELLISON: It worked, didn’t it? haha (long laugh)

    FARRAKHAN: Whitey Americans (are so weak) always fall for tears, honest or faked. haha. Allah Akbar, We’ll Conquer America!’

    (Pause)

    FARRAKHAN (calls back): It’s me, huh, “honorable” minister Farrakhan again, hmm, just giving you a “brotherly” reminder of my true Islamic teaching when you were here in 1995, like the out-pouring love for humanity and “tolerance” for Asians, Jews and all white men… rewriting history of the enormous Arab-Islamic slave trade, supporting Arab racist genocide and slavery by tyrant Al-Bashir in Sudan, glorifying Hitler. You see it boggles my mind why anyone would call the Nation of Islam the ‘Islamofacsism.’ I have no clue.

    (Ellison still laughing).

    This Investigation was held behind Closed Doors while Obama gave a Lecture on Bullying. This Investigation was not carried on CSPAN, Faux News, or anywhere else. I guess it wasn’t that important to Conservative America.

  21. Isabella says:

    Yeah, and like he said on Bill O’Reilly this evening, he doesn’t know who Frank Gaffney is.

    Every CAIR weenie on the planet knows who Frank Gaffney is. I challenge everyone here to see if they can find some evidence proving it and then send it to King to show him what kind of liars some of his Muslim witnesses truly are.

  22. world turtle says:
    March 10, 2011 at 11:56 pm

    Notice how he begins, “Let me close with a true story…” as he fumbles the words true. Why such emphasis on the story being “true”?

    LIAR.

  23. LindaC says:
    March 11, 2011 at 12:25 am

    You didn’t expect Ellison to be totally honest about Hamdani, did you? Those crocodile tears were for the camera, and the Leftist viewing audience, who take everything said by a Democrat as gospel truth. This distortion of the facts will never be questioned by the MSM, because the distortion fits with their agenda.

  24. DisturbedMary says:
    March 11, 2011 at 12:39 am

    According to the New York Times “After Mr. Hamdani, 23, disappeared on Sept. 11, ugly rumors circulated: he was a Muslim and worked in a lab; he might have been connected to a terrorist group. Months later the truth came out. Mr. Hamdani’s remains had been found near the north tower, and he had gone there to help people he did not know. ”

    Big fucking deal! He was a muslim working in a lab who went missing on 9/11. Good reason to wonder about him, no? And what’s with the sobbing Keith? It’s not an especially sad story. His brother muslims murdered thousands of good people that day. How about a little anger that Hamdani’s and thousands of other lives were cut short? You freak!

    From one of your Canadian cousins

    The north Vietnamese told the palestinians how to manipulate the goodwill of Americans and other Westerners… couch their struggle in terms of human rights as opposed to a dispute over land. The muslim brotherhood and others, majority of muslim clergy of both sunni and shia variety, have taken the premise to heart. They will exercise it at every opportunity.

    ‘Twas Islam that killed Mohammed Salman Hamdani on 9/11.

    Islam was the culprit.

    Like thousands of others who died that day, Hamdani perished not knowing who killed him or why.

    Ellison would have you think Hamdani’s actions and death were somehow proof that his loyalty to America was stronger than his loyalty to Islam.

    I keep trying to come up with some kind of statuette/award we could give out for great (and public) hypocrisy:
    the O and MOOch’s WH seminar on bullying (even Frum says Ghadaffi is a bully) while the DNC’s and the O’s goons mess with WI,
    and now CAIR’s Ellison and taquiyeh.
    Alas, all I can come up with are biblical names:l Herod? Pontius Pilate? Neither will do. Do not even think about what could happen to me if I gave a Muslim a Christian-named award…
    Is there a difference between a hypocrite and just an ordinary lying SOB?

    Spread the word Minnesotians. You cannot re-elect this person.How he got elected in the first place is beyond me but nevertheless people do your country a favor and do not re-elect Keith Ellison.

    Oh freakin WOW.

    the left is just so mired in DOO-DOO it’s surreal!

    and I love how it’s being exposed!

  34. mike r says:
    March 11, 2011 at 9:53 am

    How true fubar. I guess the only thing good to come out of the left’s actions in recent times is the exposure of the DOO-DOO on their shoes like toilet paper in the form of Islam, unions, socialism, marxism. Really people after seeing what these people stand for how can anyone support them?

  35. StJohntheDivine says:

    It is readily becoming obvious to everyone, including the mentally impaired, i.e., democrats that the Democratic Party is the group of colossal liars, all the way from the WH to Houses of Congress. Every word from the mouth of a democrat politician in the public media needs to be truth validated….pathetic group of misfits and misbegots!

    First Jesse Ventura, then Al Franken, then Amy Klobuchar (who used Sotomayor’s confirmation hearing to ask about her favorite Twilight character), and now this guy. I say to Minnesota on behalf of the rest of the country; please stop voting.

    March 11, 2011 at 3:30 pm

    Oh, and let’s be clear about another point you dumb fuckers can’t get into your thick skulls – muslims were killed in that attack too. And no I’m not a muslim, I’m an atheist. And you are right wing filth.

    “Oh, and let’s be clear about another point you dumb fuckers can’t get into your thick skulls – muslims were killed in that attack too.”

    Uh, yeah, that’s kinda bolded and referenced in the article on this page. Which you clearly didn’t read. How do you determine the truth if you ignore information? Your feelings and talking points?

  40. Cal says:

    If MalCal keeps reading here, he’s going to become conservative. Probably within five years. You hear me, MalCal, you’ll soon be one of us. Mua ha ha ha!

    Exposure to outside ideas is fatal to the lefty mindset.
