Even they believe the crap they here on the radio...From the great state of texas, an elected official.... Gee... Rep. Berman himself acknowledged knowing nothing about Dearborn. “I heard it on a radio station here on my way in to the Capitol one day,” Berman said Monday in an interview. “I don’t know Dearborn, Michigan but I heard it (Sharia is accepted law here) on the radio. Isn’t that true?“ Berman insisted one U.S. city offered unquestionable proof of this supposed threat: Dearborn, MI. Dearborn is home to one of the largest Muslim populations and the largest mosque in North America. Therefore, according to Berman, Sharia law necessarily is being implemented there. “It’s being done in Dearborn, Mich., because of a large population of Middle Easterners,” Berman said, “and the judges in Dearborn are using and allowing to be used Sharia law.” He mentioned the city six times throughout his testimony. However, when pushed for details, the only actual evidence Berman could offer was, “I heard it on a radio station”: Never mind the facts No, says Dearborn Mayor Jack O’Reilly (D), who must repeatedly debunk Islamophobic theories about the city. “These people know nothing of Dearborn and they just seek to provoke and enflame their base for political gain,”

Doing a search on the term "Sharia Law in America" I come up with a bunch of right wing sites that seem to insist that it is happening in the US. The problem is that when you check their "Facts" you find nothing to substantiate the claims. Conservative Islamophobia at its best.

and for the rest of the story....He introduced a Bill In Texas to make sure what is NOT happening in Michigan, does not happen in texas Sharia Is A Threat On The Radio, Asks ‘Isn’t That True?’ [image]http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Berman.jpg[/image]Texas is now joining over 15 states that have introduced bills to guard against the non-existent threat of Islamic Sharia law. In proposing legislation to ban state courts from considering foreign religious or cultural laws like Sharia, Texas state Rep. Leo Berman (R) — the bill sponsor — said, “We want to prevent it from ever happening in Texas.”

That is right...YOUR elected GOP officials do not speak for the GOP or the people who elected them So can we say the "MANDATE" certain GOP elected officials are than saying thay got elected to do is all BS Can't have IT both ways, either they speak for the people or they do not

I hear you Rich,but I'm still shocked that an elected official could believe something so patently false....certainly that is more shocking than a chap typing "here" when he meant to type "hear" [:)] But I do see the difference...even from here,I can hear your distress.[:)]

Where were you on the "dumbest person in Congress" thread, Mike? We had to let it fall, but it's recent enough I doubt the mods would object to a bump.

I'm wondering wtf Sanity is gonna do when Glen Beck reruns are finished. Will he just shut down and go catatonic because he doesn't know what to say any more?
