Outrageous Republican Statements 5/23/2010

Tea Party leader Mark Williams on the plans to build a 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center near ground zero: "The monument would consist of a Mosque for the worship of the terrorists' monkey-god."  After it was pointed out to Mark Williams that his comment was not only offensive, but incorrect as it is Hindus who worship Hanuman, the Monkey God,apologized to "my Hindu friends" and acknowledged that Hanuman was "worshipped as a symbol of perseverance, strength and devotion." No apology to Muslims, however.
