Shocking
news out of Islamophobistan:
Three weeks ago, Frank Gaffney released a new pledge asking presidential candidates to swear they will fight the non-existent threat of Sharia if elected president. Yet, as of publication time, none of the 10 major Republican presidential candidates have signed Gaffney’s anti-Sharia pledge.
What's the problem here? The looney tunes that make up the 2012 Republican field should be on this like a mom on an apple pie. After all, Muslim-bashing has been their stock-in-trade for more than 10 years now. They can't be getting squeamish about a little blatant hatemongering and bigotry now, can they?
Nah. Probably just a case of wanting to avoid getting burned by the fine print in another one of these whackadoodle pledges. Rest assured, Islamophobia is alive and well in the Republican party. They're just being a little more careful these days about how they peddle it.
