Apparently all the coverage, especially from Powerline, of Democratic nominee Keith Ellison, a/k/a Keith Hakim, a/k/a Keith X Ellison, a/k/a Keith Ellison-Muhammad, his radical Muslim connections and lies about them, has struck a nerve with the jihad-sympathizing group CAIR, as they rush to get "anti-terror" ads on the air in the district.

They would be more convincing of their "anti-terror" stance if they hadn't been formed by a now-outlawed pro-terrorist "Islamic charity," the Holy Land Foundation, if several of their founders had not been found involved with funding terrorist groups, if they hadn't supported the South Florida professor who was deported for his illegal terrorist-fundraising activities, or if they would simply and directly denounce any Islamic terrorist organization.

But that would be a better world, wouldn't it? For the American (or, "Great Satan" to you jihadis and moonbats) response to the CAIR PR offensive, we turn to Gary Gross of Let Freedom Ring:

Separating CAIR from terrorism is like separating white from rice. It's perfectly understandable why CAIR would attempt to spin this but it isn't going to work. Here's an exchange that explains why:

KAUFMAN: Well, this is about security, and he certainly has been someone that has harmed the security of the United States. He is the North American leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and you are his spokesman.
BEDIER: That's not true. I'm not his spokesman.
KAUFMAN: You have acted as his spokesman to the media. The media comes to you. Why do you refuse to answer that question? Are you afraid of the answer?
BEDIER: I already answered the question. I said it's not the topic of discussion, I'm not his spokesperson, and I'm the spokesperson for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. [noticeably angry] So, if you don't understand English, that is the answer.
KAUFMAN: Why would you not answer that question?
MODERATOR: Excuse me, but I believe the panelist has given you the answer that he's gonna be providing today.

I wonder if the Jewish population in MN-5 would appreciate Mr. Awad's characterizing Israel's defending themselves as state-sponsored terrorism? I'm betting not.

In other words, Ahmed Bedier, CAIR-Florida's spokesman, is an advocate of convicted terrorist-supporter Sami al-Arian and CAIR's executive director of their national organization thinks that Israel is a state sponsor of terrorism. Isn't that the world flipped upside down?

Let's not forget that CAIR demanded the removal of a Los Angeles billboard describing Osama bin Laden as "the sworn enemy," finding this depiction "offensive to Muslims."

CAIR's ad buy won't help their image because bloggers like me are sharing this type of information about CAIR's 'dark underside'. Don't think that I've expended all of my ammunition on this subject, either. This doesn't constitute even the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

Read the whole post at the link above. Hurry up, though - when the jihadis get a whiff of it, they will probably hit Gary with a DOS attack.

Then, call Howard Dean and ask him if the DNC supports CAIR and Keith Hakim X. Ellison-Muhammed (or whatever he is calling himself this week).
