"(The Politico) Not long after Politico released its interview with Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) , the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, the Democratic National Committee attacked King's comment that "there are too many mosques in this country."

"Congressman King's comments are deplorable and he should apologize immediately," said DNC press secretary Stacie Paxton. "This type of bigoted language has no place in public discourse."

The DNC went one step further, calling on GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani to dump King as his campaign's homeland security adviser."

"In the interview, he was even given the opportunity to retract his statement when his disgusting remark was repeated back to him -- yet he refused.

This is the man who serves as the Homeland Security adviser to Rudy Giuliani, yet I can't find anything about it on Giuliani's website. It's worth noting that Giuliani appears to make a habit of surrounding himself with people he later regrets."

2. LeftishBrit says that Giuliani is surrounding himself with nasty bigots.

Not to mention bloody hypocrites in the case of King, who supported the IRA; why are Christian terrorist factions OK?
