Ruben Rosario: With Egypt in turmoil, Keith Ellison plays a high-profile role

You forgot to mention he is also Sam and Sylvia's lapdog.

His comments are pure foolishness. "If we embrace the change that is happening right now we will not have a problem". Typical liberal pap. The height of fluffy liberal naivete. Number one, some kid from the north side who converted to Islam has roughly zero insight into Egyptian politics or government. Number two, we could very easily end up with another Iran type change of power, if an immediate and abrupt vacuum of leadership occurs. It's true there may be nothing we can or should do about their situation. But to say that an angry mob will instinctively decide the right course, especially after a generation of living under a dictator, is supremely foolish. Actually, for Ellison to speak with any authority on the matter at all, let alone give advice is lunacy. Maybe he should go there and live for awhile and "be the change he wishes to see". I'm sure the Egyptians would all be hanging on his every word. Rosario is such a very silly person.

Keith won the election fair and square.Save all your uninformed statements for the next election or leave.Keep up the good work Keith

Ellison has done nothing but travel and travel at th eexpenses of the citrizens of Minnesota. He lasks influnce and decisivenes relationships abroad. Come on Rosario: I respect your collums but this was a a waste of the readers type. Bottom line: Ellison was re-elected again because he was the only minority in his district. OK Ellison keep traveling and traveling and wasting our money. te veo Rosario.

I wonder how many people know that Keith Ellison's two trips to Mecca were paid for ($25k+) by the Muslim Brotherhood?

Google "keith ellison muslim brotherhood"

Spare us! Please! By the way, will Rosario and the intrepid Ellison mind if I demand that President Obama not run for another term? While he's at it, maybe he could resign. What do you think? Let's give it a try! It certainly can't hurt anything!

From now on when you describe Michelle Bachmann I would like you to say the same thing as you did with Ellison "Now, why should anything that Ellison says matter? Well, it does, regardless of whether you like him or his politics" that would be fair!

Underneath his law degree his political office, he is another hate whitey northide activist. He's been that for years and will continue in that vein.

Why does he not spend his time and energy trying to help the citizens of Minnesota. He'd rather fly around at the expense of the taxpayers to his beloved Mecca. Expenses paid by the Islamic Brotherhood?...even so he is still on our dime.

He has no interest in the district which elected him; he is a typical poverty pimp like the rest of his ilk.

Seems like Rosario has again taken up the cause for any radical who doesn't have white skin.

I would like to see Ellison resign immediately.

Rosario, I thought this was a column on Eygpt. It turned out to be another of your I hate conservatives and Republican rants. Did you see any of Ellison's hate mail? How do you know where they came from.

Ellison has ties with the Brotherhood, that should tell you enough. The media is letting this guy get by because of political correctness. If you support this man, you might want to check where your allegiance really is.

Keith Ellison should be the poster boy for how dumbed down the voters in Minneapolis really are, for electing him the first time let alone three times. Wow! Don’t get any dumber than that. Ellison could care less about problems and issues facing the weak minded people of Minneapolis, his main interest is promoting Muslims and his Islamic religion, and the people that voted him into office are mere disposable infidels used as stepping stone to be cast aside once his personal agenda and goals have been met.

You can spout off as much as you want, but when you take the side of the Brotherhood, then that is a different story. You sir/lady should leave.

Keith is known to hate whites. He has a very sad record as a human being.

I just want to know where were Ellison and Obama when the students in Iran went out into the streets to protest a corrupt election and move towards democracy? Both were silent now why is that? Do they both prefer countries run by radical muslims as opposed to a democracy?

By the way, Mr. Rosario, just so you're aware: I don't care which Sky Wizard the Congressman worships, as long as it doesn't involve the sacrifice of minor children or household pets. It's his politics I loathe. He's an obnoxious Stalinist.

Oh, and so you don't accuse me of partisanship, I'd be happy to see Congresswoman Bachman resign and go into a well-deserved exile in Alaska.

Rep - Ellison. You have another Twitter opportunity here. Why don't you be the first person to tell President Obama to resign?

The "muslim" Keith Ellison graduated from a Catholic HS in Detroit...read it in Time Magazine. Also, when he was running for his office he was late turning in his paperwork and blamed it on his wife who suffers from MS...that's right, he blamed his wife! And the overly PC crowd in Mpls looked right past that and elected him anyway. He has since left his wife by the way. Yep, this fraud is a real muslim and Mpls can pat themselves on the back all they want...good job.

Leave it to Rosario to not mention Ellison's relationship to the Muslim Brotherhood. Rosario's only agenda is to protect progressives like himself.

I have a better idea for Keith why don't you fly over there and fix the problem yourself. You are so smart and brilliant you could fix it in one or two days. GOOD LUCK

lets make sure he pays his tickets first
