U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite on Thursday angrily refused calls by a Muslim advocacy group to condemn a prominent Hernando County Republican who called Islam a "hateful, frightening religion."
Brown-Waite instead criticized Gov. Jeb Bush and the head of the Republican Party of Florida, both of whom last week demanded an apology from Commissioner Tom Hogan and his wife, Mary Ann Hogan.
On Friday, Gov.-elect Charlie Crist severed Mary Ann Hogan's relationship with his campaign.
"Mrs. Hogan expressed in her statements the views of many of my constituents, and while they do not encourage harmony in the community, they should demonstrate to you how many United States citizens perceive your faith," Brown-Waite wrote, responding to a Nov. 3 letter from the Council on American-Islamic Relations asking her to denounce the Hogans' remarks.

My friend says Dubya is the anti-Christ.

This is great, good for her. I lived in Tampa from 2002 to 2005 and I can tell you that the Muslim community there is BAD NEWS...Ginny Brown-Waite deserves a lot of credit.
hateful, frightening religion or hateful, frightening death cult???
The politically correct euphamism ("the war on 'terror'") for the war with islam drives me bonkers!
I had the occasion to drive through Florida recently, and, just looking at a picture of Crist, I would have sworn he's a democrat. Hmm. It's getting harder and harder to tell 'em apart, anymore.
I'm choking on this, but kudos to Ginny Brown-Waite!
"I am really starting to believe that the Bushes don't get it."
That would depend on what the meaning of "it" is. If "it" is power they have certainly got it. If "it" means conservatism and America-first, they most definitely don't get it and have never had it.
I just read the entire letter. Wow! Right on the mark and beautifully written!
I urge everyone to read the letter. This gives us a great starting point for finding new leaders in the new congress.
Ginny is very well worth a closer look.
Their same reactions are typically to the Danish cartoons!!
'Nuf said!!!
"My friend says Dubya is the anti-Christ."
Did he receive that tidbit of info from his pet poodle ?
This LADY is sporting a solid pair brass balls. The 'cair' critters must of had a fit that a mere woman would stand up to the ROP.
Me Like!
Wow! Excellent letter.
I think he gleaned that information during his last alien abduction.
