Among friends
When Keith Ellison held his August 25 fundraiser with CAIR executive director Nihad Awad, he carefully kept any word of it off his site and out of the news. Over the weekend, Ellison was the keynote speaker at CAIR's fundraiser for him. Joe Kaufman showed up to protest against Ellison's acceptance of campaign cash from CAIR. Consistent with the August 25 Ellison fundraiser, Kaufman discovered a continuing interest in keeping what was said at this weekend's fundraiser among friends: "Keith Ellison's mysterious Florida meeting." Kaufman asks:
Why did they not want us inside? Keith Ellison is running for public office. Why was this a “private meeting”? What was being said inside that made it so private?I think it fits right in to the portrait of Ellison that I tried to draw in "Louis Farrakhan's first congressman."These are questions that Keith Ellison should be asked. He comes all the way to South Florida from Minnesota, less than one month before his election, to a private meeting that no one knows about, attended by only a small number of people, with individuals guarding the entranceway, an event sponsored by a group that has numerous ties to Islamic terrorism. Is it just me, or does this picture look strange?
