Muslim Senator Compares Bush to Hitler Email This Story Print This Story

Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, is defending himself Monday after comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler and leaving the impression the administration may have rigged the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Also the comparison was made because no one allowed Don Imus to exercise his free speech. His comment was stupid but he shouldn't have been hanged for it. But according to the media it is OK to insult the President that is free speech but if you call a group of college basketball players "Nappy Hos" then you are to be drawn and quartered. It is a double standard which is what the blog is pointing out.

I'm not in favor of a U.S. Senator making such a statement publically; however, I'm not so sure he is that far off the mark
