Well your praise of Tancredo is wasted because he has already retracted his statement and said he was misquoted.
You can't 'retract' that which was never said, you set the record straight.
The 'misquotes' were actually what he said being taken out of context. He was asked to contemplate an America that had been nuked in multiple cities by Islamic terrorists and then asked what he thinks a U.S. response to that might be. Given this unthinkable situation I thought he was being much to kind to the Muslim population by just bombing a couple of 'holy' sites.
