THEY'RE INSIDE THE WIRE

Keith Ellison is the first Muslim elected to congress. Many said it's a big deal; many said it was no big deal. I think it was a very big deal that he chose to place his hand on the Koran during his "ceremonial" swearing in. So is this:

"On Feb.12, 2000, Ellison joined Bernadine Dohrn, one of the founders of the 1960s radical group the Weather Underground, and several other speakers at a fundraiser for recently arrested Kathleen Soliah, a.k.a. Sara Jane Olson."

No big deal? Read the article, then think again.
