Brown-Waite blisters Muslim
Instead of renouncing anti-Muslim remarks, she accuses the man of not condemning extremists.

November 10, 2006

U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite on Thursday angrily refused calls by a Muslim advocacy group to condemn a prominent Hernando County Republican who called Islam a "hateful, frightening religion."

Brown-Waite instead criticized Gov. Jeb Bush and the head of the Republican Party of Florida, both of whom last week demanded an apology from Commissioner Tom Hogan and his wife, Mary Ann Hogan.

On Friday, Gov.-elect Charlie Crist severed Mary Ann Hogan's relationship with his campaign.

"Mrs. Hogan expressed in her statements the views of many of my constituents, and while they do not encourage harmony in the community, they should demonstrate to you how many United States citizens perceive your faith," Brown-Waite wrote, responding to a Nov. 3 letter from the Council on American-Islamic Relations asking her to denounce the Hogans' remarks.

Some people don't know when to give up and this woman has to be one of the biggest twits in FL.

1. She is also stupid!
snip>
Brown-Waite said Thursday, "It is an accurate truism that by far and wide not every Muslim is a terrorist, but it's historically accurate that every terrorist has been a Muslim with the one exception of the bombing of the Murrah building by Timothy McVeigh."

Atlanta Olympics? Unabomber? Puerto Rican Terrorists of various sorts through out the years, both in DC in the Congress and in Puerto Rico? THe 16th Church Bombing? The list is long and sordid! Think of the ones we don't even know about...

12. gosh... wasn't there an organization called the "Ku Klux Klan"?
Seems to me that the kluxers and their associates have committed numerous ideologically-motivated murders, as well as arsons and the occasional bombing.

How the hell do they not count as terrorists? Is it because they're white Christians?

13. Right wingers refer to crimes committed by Muslims as terrorism and blame their religion.
But crimes committed by people of any other religion are just random crimes unrelated to their religion. That's how they get their "all terrorism is committed by Muslims" nonsense.

15. Unfortunately, she's my congresscritter
What an amadan. I do not understand why people vote for her. She's as nutty as Harris, but without Spunk and Moxie.
