Farrakhan adviser on Illinois hate crimes panel refuses to quit
Crossposted on Marathon Pundit.
Rich Miller's Capitol Fax blog has more on this issue.
I blogged about this story last week. Claudette Johnson, also known as Sister Claudette Muhammad, was appointed by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich to serve on the state's Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes. She is the minister of protocol for the Louis Farrakhan's group, the Nation of Islam. Her role within that organization became known when she invited other members of the state hate crimes panel to Minister Farrakhan's annual "Saviours' Day" speech in Chicago last weekend.
The Chicago Sun-Times has a follow-up story. Johnson won't step down:
"Why should I step down? What have I done? That's a foolish question," Claudette Marie Johnson said when asked whether she intends to remain a member of the governor's Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes. "If you were appointed by the governor, would you step down?"
Blagojevich's office, surprisingly, still supports Johnson/Muhammad, claiming she brings "diversity" to the commission. Perhaps "Blago" might want to return to the Daily Show to discuss this issue.
Too bad David Dukes doesn't live in Illinois, his diversity would add, well, something to that panel.
Depending on your view of things, Farrakhan's latest Saviours' Day speech last was an abomination, or a great success.
Once again from the Chicago Sun-Times:
On Sunday, before about 15,000 followers at the Nation of Islam's Saviours' Day speech at the United Center, Farrakhan hit "Hollywood Jews" for "promoting lesbianism, homosexuality" and other "filth" and said conservatives and Zionists manipulated President Bush into war.

The jews say the negros need to get to the back of the bus.
Apparently, Ms. Muhammad does understand that this is not about anything she has done, it's about what she has failed to do: denounce her racist and hatefilled boss. Also, she apparently wasn't appointed by the Governor, according to him. She was appointed by some staff flunkie, and Blago's never heard of her until now.
It's a nice example of the convergence of Liberals and the far right. People think I'm nuts but this has happened repeatedly in Britian and we're seeing it now in the US.
Blago and the Dems need to condem this fast.
The neocons and Zionists did convince but maybe not trick Bush into war. That is true.
anon 12:04 I think you're a nice example of the convergence of the far left and right... both convinced tricky Jews are the world's problem.

I love how Bill Baar never fails to take the words of the most extreme 5% of people on the left and somehow say anyone who votes Democrat is an anti-semite. Nothing keeps me laughing more than Bill's daily assortment of logical fallacies.
I worry that 5% is taking over DJ... I'm really worried.
Start following Current Viewpoint, Melanie Phillips Diary, and then this by Nick Cohen.
Our Unitarian Preacher in Woodstock should worry less about folks in McHenry who wish to be left alone from the Gay Games, and worry a lot more about Iran stoking the nuclear furnance for Jews and the noose for Gays.
