Muhammad Ali Hasan, a member of the wealthy and influential Colorado Republican Hasan family and a past state House and treasurer candidate, said he is switching parties. Speaking at the University of Colorado-Boulder on his experience growing up Muslim in the American West and later in conversation with the Colorado Independent, Hasan said he is ending his affiliation with the party for the bigotry he believes has shaped Republican politics over the last year. The FOX News regular and founder of Muslims for Bush said he met recently with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the controversial Democratic leader won him over.
“I met her in Los Angeles. For a Republican that’s like He-Man [meeting with] Skeletor,” he said, referencing the Masters of the Universe cartoon arch-enemies. “I am impressed by her vision. She convinced me that the Democrats will work to protect and further the interests and opportunities of minority Americans. That matched with the politics of Reagan for me. He was a champion of the American dream, the idea of America as a shining city on a hill. He expanded opportunities through small business credits and amnesty for immigrants. It was all about opportunity.
“I have three top political heroes: Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and now Nancy Pelosi. She has such a spine, like Reagan and Bush, they all have that in common: a spine of steel that comes from conviction.”
Major financial backers of conservative causes and candidates in the state and friends to national GOP leaders and successive Republican presidential administrations, the Hasans have publicly struggled with the post-Bush Palin-era GOP. Matriarch Seeme Hasan during the “Ground Zero Mosque” debate said she didn’t recognize the party. Ali Hasan’s defection comes in the wake of news that state GOP lawmakers will introduce tough Arizona-style immigration legislation and held a high profile hearing on the topic with a slanted roster of experts that featured almost no immigrant rights groups but several with ties to white supremecist organizations.
Bigoty? LOL
Yes, and we all know that Islam is such a tolerant and inclusive “religion”.
LOL! He seems a little light where intellectual capacity is concerned.
So Nancy met him to shake him down and he doesn't even know it. And it looks to be like this guy doesn't even hold public office. Why is this a story again?
Never heard of him. Just goes to show how long I’ve had FOX turned off.
‘that guy turned out to be a homosexual’
Say it isn’t so!
LOL. Oh yes... and I’m sure you know that....lol.
I would post his pic, but I’ve erased his name from my memory.
He looks gay.
He wants Sha’ria Law and Conservatives do not...Nancy would sell her skinny arse for $5 and a vote in the House, so like all of we are realizing, the Muslim-Liberal problem will be a war one day soon, here.
If Pelosi was able to convince him of ANYTHING he was NEVER really a republican.
IMHO... muzzies need not apply... or commies... or nazis.
LLS
If he has no problem promoting gay, child-killling, citizen disarming, anti-God, anti-family, anti-American policies of Nazi Pelosi, then he’s now where he should have been all along.
And he proves the bankruptcy of his so-called religion.
As far as I it isn’t so. And last I heard he’s working as a reserve police officer in real life.Mad tv did some idiotic spoof where all the characters on Chips were gay.
Do you have a link for this?The last I heard Erik Estrada was always a ladies man.
This guy is about as conservative as Al Gore and Obama.
It is a shame when a person becomes insane. Maybe he will seek the help he needs. Maybe Shock therapy or drugs.
If Ali was really serious about getting away from bigots, he’s quit Islam in a flash and become just non-denominational.
Can’t understand how a person can be a muslim and an American anyhow. The two are not compatible.
One is freedom the other is oppression
Yes Hasan should fit right in the Democratic Party.They have a lot of shared philosophies.They both think the governing power can do no wrong.They both believe the best citizens are kept ignorant. They both think the use of power justifies any situation.Both Democrats and Muslims have No problem with a LIAR-so long as the Liar is of their sect.Both Muslims and Democrats will defend any homosexual or immoral person within their group but roundly condemn the other Party for the same.
Need I continue? Hasan should fit right in.
What a fool and tool. Just who had the mental confusion to vote for this loser?
Muslim Republican Lawmaker pushed out of the GOP Over his “Bigotry” (good riddance)
Repaired
I wrote his name down, and drew a lint thru it.
