This is Lynne Torgerson. She is planning a political campaign to unseat…
…Representative Keith Ellison, America’s first Muslim member of Congress. (He’s the guy that took his Congressional oath of office using Thomas Jefferson’s copy of the Koran.)
Got it? Now read this. And this.
I’m particularly appalled Torgerson’s fallacious attempts at creating an Aristotelian syllogism:
“And, what do I know of Islam? Well, I know of 9/11. Nineteen (19) men from Saudi Arabia, all Muslim, hi-jacked planes, and flew into the two (2) World Trade Towers murdering thousands of people, and tried to fly into our Pentagon, and some believe they also tried to fly an airplane into our White House. From this, what I perceive is Islam conducting an act of war against my country.”
combined with
“Who is Keith Ellison? He is my opposing candidate for the Fifth Congressional District seat. Keith Ellison is a Muslim, a person who was raised Christian and converted to Islam.”
By the same extension, Ms. Torgerson, it was a crew of brown-eyed men that committed the 9/11 atrocities, and it was a brown-eyed man who shot and killed at Ford Hood. Does that mean that Keith Ellison, like other brown-eyed men, is not qualified to hold Congressional office?
Torgerson is also anti-choice, anti-gay marriage, an anti-technology Luddite, and would make a nice matching book-end to Michelle Bachmann. Where the hell does Minnesota gets these whack-jobs, anyway?
BTW, Lynne, PLO stands for Palestine Liberation Organization.
