Congressman Keith Ellison Says The Nazis Bombed Pearl Harbor
Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) made some astonishingly ignorant statements during a discussion about the Iranian nuclear issue on Fox News's The O'Reilly Factor Tuesday.
The pièce de résistance was him telling host Bill O'Reilly that the Nazis bombed Pearl Harbor (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CONGRESSMAN KEITH ELLISON (D-MINNESOTA): No, they [Iran] don’t have a weapon. They have not made a decision to do one. The inspections…
BILL O’REILLY, HOST: How would you know they have not made a decision to do one? How would you know that?
ELLISON: Because. I’m glad you asked. Because we have satellite technology. We have technology that can detect.
O’REILLY: They’re underground. The satellites can’t penetrate the earth. They’re underground.
ELLISON: We have inspections that have gone on.
O’REILLY: They won’t let the inspectors in as I’ve said three times.
ELLISON: Yes they have. There have been a number of inspections.
O’REILLY. No there haven’t. They went two weeks ago and they wouldn’t let them go in.
ELLISON: Well, Bill, I’m sorry, but I’m not going to back a war based on a maybe. 4,409 Americans are dead because somebody—
O’REILLY: Congressman, the reason we like you as a guest is because you’re an honest man, But I will point to history. I will point to history. The same mindset was taken when dealing with Nazi Germany. We’re not going to go in aggressive action. We don’t believe they’re going to do this. We don’t believe they’re going to do that. And they absolutely did everything. So I think you’ve got to learn from history.
ELLISON: Let me tell you in World War II, in World War II they attacked Pearl Harbor. That would be enough.
O’REILLY: No, this is the German theater not the Japanese.
The Nazis bombed Pearl Harbor?
As Boon told Otter after Bluto made the same stupid comment in the hit comedy "Animal House," "Forget it, he's rolling."
Of course, the truly delicious "Life Imitates Art" irony is that John Belushi's immortal John Blutarsky character ended up becoming a United States Senator.
I guess knowledge of history isn't a prerequisite.

And this is one of the things that really ticks me off about BOR.
Instead of engaging in a stupid "yes they did, no they didn't" exchange with Ellison, why didn't he just challenge him on it and ask point-blank when the last inspection ( or ANY inspection) took place?
Big talker.
When?

There seems to be some of this going around, as of late: A one time troll poster, usually registered over five years, suddenly shows up, makes their first post, and never is seen again. I'm actually more inclined to believe that there is a glitch or flaw in the registration software that allows someone to create an account with a phony registration date, to make that person appear that they've been a NB poster forever.

After our intelligence failures in North Korea, Iraq, Lybia, Egypt, Syria, etc...this moron want's people to believe that we have any idea what decisions the Iranian leadership is making or even thinking about?

Real history is a threat to the Left
Submitted by Galvanic on Wed, 03/21/2012 - 3:13pm.
Academia prefers to remove history from its chronological context and reorganize it under topical contexts, such as Black History or Women's History. In this way, history is reduced to the accounting of oppressors against the oppressed.
Real history -- particularly the history of failed socialist experiments -- is a threat to academia.
Regarding Rep. Ellison, and considering the Animal House reference, let's never forget that even Bluto Blutarsky eventually became a US Senator.

It is truly sad what is taught in the schools these days. Susie has two mommies, here's how to put on a condom, but why should kids have to learn geometry or (real) history? We all knew Ellefsen was ignorant. He was merely taking his clue from Ear Leader......see #1 on my list of Obama's Gaffes.....he thought "a bomb" fell on Pearl Harbor. *rolls eyes* At least he didn't say the Nazis dropped it!!!

Les Miles is bought and paid for, I truly believe, but that is another topic for another time. :)
I have read and enjoyed immensely, your list of Obama's gaffes. Thanks for taking the time to put all that together.
In my line of work I am saddened on a daily basis by the lack of interest in our history. Not to mention the lack of interest in education in general. I have young school age children, as well. I am always reading homework assignments, teacher comments, etc just to be sure they are being taught and not indoctrinated. One of my favorite assignments was the one my son was required to do on weapons of the cold war. He was in 2nd grade at the time. I'm sure the "two mommies" lesson is just around the corner, though.

Truly, it would be frightening to have children in public school these days. I hope you helped your son on the Cold War weapon with "Ronald Reagan". That would be enough to send the teacher around the bend. Oh, here's a joke I stole from Wrathful Bru, kind of the same topic, LOL. It scares me to think of these Obamabots (like that woman in South Carolina who during the election made fun of the little girl whose father was serving because her family was for McCain) or that idiot with the lunch police gig.

You verified my hunch, bubba - when I was reading this little article - I was thinkin' (Obamaspeak) that this dope was a mooooooooooslem, so it's no surprise that he's trying to 'get their back' with regards to Iran, even though Iran is NOT popular with other mooooooooooooslems. (But, hell, are ANY mooooooooooslems popular with each other??)
I just find it kind of odd - in theory- that he would be blaming Germany for this atrocity, since the Germans were 'doing Allah's will' by trying to kill all the Jews, and Germany and Iran were allies during that time - in fact, I think that is when the country's name was changed to 'Iran' - which mean 'Aryan'. You woulda thunk that he'd know it was the Japanese who bombed Pearl Harbor, because basically they hated EVERYBODY - and I'm sure that if they had to engage the moooooooooooooooslems back in that era, they would have treated 'the religion of peace' as badly as they treated everybody else!!!
I watched a really good documentary once about Gengis Khan (and, NO, John 'why the long face' Kerry did NOT narrate it!!), and when Khan sent an emmissary to Persia to find out some information, the Persians sent his head back in a box. For that, Khan marched into Persia, burned the damn place down, and killed hundreds of thousands of Persians................I'm thinkin' that they might have learned a lesson the hard way.
The best part!
Submitted by Newsbubba on Wed, 03/21/2012 - 2:35pm.
If the Mooooooooooslems win, they will immediately start fighting each other, just like they always have when there was nobody else to fight with. The Shiite heads hate the Sunni side uppers, and always will.
THEN, while they're kicking the camel dung out of each other, the commies will be plotting to blow the whole pack of fools to hell, since no one will be around to restrain them, and they don't want to have to put up with the bastards!
And you're right about my hero, GIN-Jus Khan (as John F-ing Kerry liked to say). He would try diplomacy once. If it didn't work out, it was over for his enemy. His rules were (literally), surrender on day one, and you can all live, but you will pay tribute to my people, and we will run your cities. Surrender on day two, and we will just kill all the males. The women can stick around for our pleasure. On day three, you all die, your city disappears from the face of the earth, and we move on to the next city.
It only took a couple of cities before the people started throwing their rulers off the wall and surrendering ASAP.

Technically, you are correct. The Japanese pulled off the biggest military blunder of the century attacking Pearl Harbor. If they would have attacked Russia from the east instead, they would have been able to easily take over the eastern coastline at that time, allowing them to maintain their dominance of the Asian theater with no US interference, at least while FDR was in office. THAT would have been a true "axis" strategy.

Japan did fight Russia in WW2, prior to 1945
Submitted by Kingfish17 on Fri, 03/23/2012 - 10:40am.
The Japanese and Russians did fight each other in WW2 prior to 1945. The Japanese army in China had success, but that was because of the poor state and factional nature of the Chinese military. When the Japanese tried to invade Russia itself in 1939, the results were terrible. The Japanese army was not equipped to take on the Soviet Union in a large scale land war in East Asia. One can argue that their timing was poor, but after the battles fought in 1939, the Japanese never wanted anything more to do with fighting the Soviets.

By that standard, O'Reilly has never conducted a good interview! I can't stand his boorish ways, even though I am a conservative.
Related: When BOR was on David Letterman a year or so ago, Letterman started off by telling him that he thought BOR's opinions were all BS, and the audience cheered like crazy.
But then BOR asked Letterman if he had ever watched the show, and after Letterman stumbled and mumbled that he had not, the audience gave some grudging applause for BOR. This is the only time I recall seeing BOR following the very effective (and entertaining) interviewing technique of allowing the other person enough rope to hang himself.
Usually BOR talks over his guests so rudely that it generates sympathy for them, no matter how odious their positions are, and in the case of guests you respect and want to hear (Dennis Miller for example) it is downright infuriating!

And there's a simple reason as to why:
The very foundation of what a Muslim is violates the US Constitution, Islam has absolutely no place in this country. Anything that practices honor killings(murder in this country), slavery(illegal to own slaves in this country), castes(there are no second class citizens in this country), and other things violate the laws of the land. But there's been pushes by many judges to allow those things to happen under Sharia even though that violates the oath of office to the US Constitution on the part of those judges.
Hell, it was a violation of the oath of office for Ellison to swear on the Koran, even if it was the two book version that belonged to Thomas Jefferson, and by Ellison doing that, that was a coup against America's laws. Jefferson used those books to help defeat the Barbary pirates, Ellison used those books to say "screw you, Islam is coming."
The same thing goes if someone is a card carrying Communist or anything that is contrary to what being an American is about.
I could say that's how I feel about it, but it's also the truth. And the dems KNOW it and they try to change it all the time.
