DEMOGUY CALLED REDNECK AT MOSQUE

 
SULLIVAN * DEMOCRAT * CONGRESS 21st DISTRICT

Contact: JPS 438 5230
 
         DEMOGUY WENT TO THE MOSQUE. WHAT HAPPENED?
         A REPORT YOU WILL NEVER SEE OR HEAR IN THE MEDIA
 
Joseph P Sullivan , of Albany, Democratic candidate for Congress
21st District, went to the  Islamic Center of the Capital District
Mosque, Colonie, to meet with local Muslims,  Saturday evening.
 
Media coverage of the event was non-existent, or superficial.
Why? Hey, it was Saturday evening. Furthermore, the media is
not serious about campaign reform. Campaign coverage is
driven by cash. Candidates must pay to play. No cash no
coverage.
 
So, what happened at the Mosque?
 
Turnout was good.  Dr. Husain and the organizers of the forum
were hospitable and fair, although a number of the audience
were not.
 
All the Democratic candidates for the 21st  Congressional District
were present. Brooks, Darius, Tonko and Steck  pandered and
groveled to the audience, Demoguy (Joe Sullivan) did not,.
 
Some in the audience complained of not feeling accepted in
America.
 
An Imam, complained of racial profiling of Muslims at airports
and in other circumstances. He called  upon the 5 Democrats to
pledge, if elected, to end racial profiling. Darius immediately
Jumped to his feet and took the pledge. Brooks, Tonko and Steck
nodded their agreement.  Demoguy (Sullivan) refused.
 
Sullivan was called "Redneck" by a number of the audience.
Redneck was a slur used to disparage poor southern whites
of Irish and Scots-Irish origins. Sullivan said: Thank God for
Rednecks who fight and die for America.
 
Sullivan made the following points:
 
 * People profile themselves by their behavior.  When Muslims
   do not speak out and condemn  terrorism and terrorist behavior
   their silence is interpreted as condoning that behavior.
 
* The  Muslims did not have an American flag and did not recite
   the Pledge of Allegiance at the forum. Some in the audience
   argued that the Mosque is a religious place that need not
  display a flag. Sullivan replied that the Mosque is in America
  and this was a political forum for candidates for the Congress
  of the United States of America.
 
* As the call to evening prayers began, Sullivan made the closing
  comments saying:  I detected much hostility and anger among the
  audience tonight.  Welcome to America. Do not be part of the
  problem...be part of the solution.  Love America.
  As you go to your evening prayers...pray for yourselves, pray
  for us candidates, and pray for America.

  We can save America and ourselves. We can take back our
  government, from special interest/cash domination, and
  we can once again have the America handed to us by the
  Founding Fathers, and paid for in blood and limb, by our
  noble veterans.
  
  YES, WE CAN!  The Primary is September 9. Noon to 9 pm. Be there!
