BALTIMORE (AP) - A protester staked out the home of a Muslim candidate for the Maryland House of Delegates, holding a sign and wearing a T-shirt that mocked Islam.

More disturbing: Why is one guy peacefully sitting in a chair with a paper sign considered world news by AP and the Guardian?

Because morons like him make Republicans look bad. That's always good for getting coverage.

This guy should be banned for "Hate."

Of course, if it's Cindy Sheehan doing it - it's okay....

Why am I not surprised?

But is is refusal to denounce Hezbollah a factor of his religion or his political party (the Dhimmicrats)?

He should wear a hood and join the Klan. Their rallies are much bigger.
