Tancredo Confronted At Town Hall

A Tom Tancredo town hall in New Hampshire Saturday night sure seems like it was a fun old time. During the event, the candidate spoke out against the "Balkanization" of America and declared that Europe has already been "Islamicized."

The candidate was then confronted by a female 22-year old Arab student, who asked him pointedly if she is an enemy of America because she speaks more than one language, and wore a shawl over her head. Tancredo shot back by posing his own question: "Do you believe that we should replace the Constitution with Sharia law?"

1. Lawdy.

He's really off the reservation, mentally. Just out there, doing a dirtbike ride around the rings of Saturn.

2. WHAT.AN.ASSHOLE.

Now, will any Democrat stand up and criticize him for that statement?

No.

Because the GOP can attack and bullshit and lie, and we don't call them on it. Not even our candidates seem to have a backbone strong enough to give Tancretin a piece of their mind.

5. great retort back to the ass hole:

Why did you not include her reply to Tancredo? Here's that part of the exchange:

"Do you take us for idiots, for people who have no appreciation of our history?" she asked. "Perhaps you don't have an understanding of your country right now, of its composition."
Tancredo repeatedly broke in, asking Elhamoumi to pose a question. He finally asked her a question of his own: "Do you believe that we should replace the Constitution with Sharia law?"

"That is below me," Elhamoumi replied. "Do not belittle people's opinions and people's beliefs and people's religions. Do not put one religion above the other."

7. bless her soul. THAT WAS GREAT!

"that is below me. Do not belittle people's opinions and beliefs and religions."

Brilliant, smart, and perfect.

9. Thanks for posting that! (I only copied the segment TPM posted)

6. Ask Tancredo: Should we replace the Constitution with the Ten Commandments?

Fucking asshole.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. his answer might be yes, because in his bent universe,

the founding fathers were all christian soldiers, even if they weren't.

[DinahMoeHum]

10. In that case, he should resign from his office. . .

since he took an oath to defend the Constitution and now he doesn't think it should be the law of the land.

:evilfrown:

11. tis ok to lie while furthering your faith.

or it seems like that with these nutters.

12. I'm proud of the people who will stand up to tancredo for his bigotry.

Tancredo is an idiot and the fact that he is a congressman speaks volumes about the dumbing down of America.

13. Wow Tancredo is an bigger ass than i thought he was, wtf kiind of thing is that

to say to a someone?

14. Tancredo: A one trick pony destined for the glue factory (Hopefully sooner than later)...

15. I have always felt that no one whose name ends with the vowel "O" should not be speaking out on

immigration, save for -- perhaps -- "Costello."
