Tyler O’Neil at PJ Media reported this (I did not find this
story at Cleveland.com); O'Neil linked to Progress Ohio which categorized this
event under “Progressive Organizations”:
On Sunday, three Democrats running
in the Ohio governor's race, including former Congressman Dennis Kucinich,
spoke at an event hosted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a
Muslim group with ties to the terror organization Hamas and involved in a terror-funding
scheme.
"Join CAIR-Columbus for a
Governor Candidate Forum starting at 2:00 PM at the Dublin Community Recreation
Center on Sunday Feb. 11th! Doors will open at 1:30," read an announcement
at Progress Ohio.
The event included three
candidates for governor: state Sen. Joe Schiavoni, former state Rep. Connie
Pillich, and former Congressman Dennis Kucinich. Former Congresswoman Betty
Sutton represented former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray. Sutton is his running-mate.
CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas
terror-funding case by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist
groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes
related to radical Islamist terror.
It is still early in the race,
but Cordray holds an early lead. In a January poll conducted by Fallon
Research, Cordray, who recently resigned as head of the Consumer Products
Safety Commission, led with 23 percent, and Kucinich took second place with 16
percent. Schiavoni took four percent, and Pillich two percent. Bill O'Neill,
former justice of the Ohio Supreme Court who recently resigned to run for
governor, took three percent. A whopping 52 percent remained undecided.
