Last week GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo decided to swing for
the fences in an effort to catch up with the frontrunners by casting
an appeal to the religiously genocidal wing of the Republican party.

Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo's campaign stood by his assertion that
bombing holy Muslim sites would serve as a good "deterrent" to prevent
Islamic fundamentalists from attacking the United States, his
spokeswoman said Friday.

"This shows that we mean business," said Bay Buchanan, a senior
Tancredo adviser.

"There's no more effective deterrent than that. But he is open-minded
and willing to embrace other options. This is just a means to deter
them from attacking us."

"If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this
homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy
sites in Mecca and Medina," Tancredo said.

"That is the only thing I can think of that might deter somebody from
doing what they would otherwise do. If I am wrong, fine, tell me, and
I would be happy to do something else. But you had better find a
deterrent, or you will find an attack."


Okay, just a few quick points...

1) Are you out of your mind?

2) I mean, seriously, you're joking, right?

3) Good grief, you're not joking.
