Apparently some of our re-elected republicans just don't get it as is the case with Florida's Congresswoman Genny Brown-Wait. If you remember she's the wacko who said we should dig up all the coffins of American soldiers who died in France during our two world wars because it was popular at the time to hate the French.
Now it's time for her to hate the muslim community because, after all, the election is over.
To Jeb Bush's credit he strongly condemned
comments by a Hernando Co. Florida county commissioner when he wrote:
A letter by Mary Ann Hogan to the St. Petersburg Times touched off the furor. She objected to the county's assistance to a local mosque's celebration of the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan on Oct. 23.
"Don't the administrators of this county know that in honor of Ramadan the Muslims in Iraq have killed an even greater number of our soldiers and Marines than in the preceding months?" she wrote. "The stated goal of the Muslim faith is to kill us, the 'infidels.' By providing county employees for their use Hernando County is sanctioning this hateful, frightening religion."
Dr. Adel Eldin, a local cardiologist and Muslim community leader, helped organize the mosque event. He donated $200 to the county parks department to borrow some outdoor children's games, explained Pat Fagan, director of parks and recreation.
When Congresswoman Brown-Waite was asked for her assistance in this she wrote that the commissioner had shown tremendous fortitude in not retracting their comments, and that that their sentiments were the same as her constituents. Because of that she was not going to condemn what they said. Further she said she was "Disappointed in the reaction by Governor Jeb Bush."
So basically she's passing the buck to her constituents for her bigotted and hateful behavior by saying that that's the way her constituents want her to be.
