Idaho State Republican's bigotry against Muslim congressman

[Mugwop]

When Idaho State Rep. Bill Sali was running for Congress in 2006, Vice President Cheney visited his state and said, “Bill is ready to make a difference in Washington, and he’s going to be the kind of Congressman who will make you proud.” Now-Congressman Bill Sali (R-ID) is demonstrating his worth by criticizing the new religious diversity embodied in the 110th Congress:
We have not only a Hindu prayer being offered in the Senate, we have a Muslim member of the House of Representatives now, Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Those are changes — and they are not what was envisioned by the Founding Fathers.
Really? Sali may want to take a peek at Article VI of the Constitution, which notes that there is no religious test for public office:

Sali’s not alone in his bigotry. In Dec. 2006, shortly after Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) was elected as the first Muslim congressman, Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) warned that “American citizens” need to “wake up” or “there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office.”
Last month, protestors belonging to the Christian Right anti-abortion group Operation Save America loudly interrupted the first Hindu prayer delivered in the Senate. Sali said that when a Hindu prayer is offered, it “creates problems for the longevity of this country.”

Next time we hear about him on the news will probably be when he's apologizing for his arrest in a gay prostitution sting

Media doesn't care, I guess. Telling minorities that they're victims is what sells, my friend.

...and Obama is preaching India abt religious intolerance...

WOW, you think there is a comparison here??? Here in the US, they are just criticizing a religion. In India, likes of the NJP, RSS and Shiv Sena have been killing Christians, Muslims and Sikhs a like for decades. And now, they are converting everyone to be a Hindu, your own government officials say, India will be a 100% Hindu country by 2030!!!!

I don't think there are ANY examples that even come close to what is going on in India with regards to religious nut cases now sitting in the government.

RepubliKKKans are like that.

They hate Muslims, Mexicans, Hindus, Gays, Women, and pretty much everyone else who is not a white rich man (or protector of their interests).

Therefore, we should all support democrat candidates in our local, state, and national elections.

Yeah and democrats love all these people or recognize the potential voting block? If anything save your time and don't vote at all because both of these parties despite their claims are pretty much in cahoots on the main issues that matter in this country which is why nothing ever gets done.

His father and him are both basically libertarians pretending to be Republicans because it gives them more exposure.
