Terry Jones Isn't the Only Anti-Muslim Xenophobic

Rachel Maddow has a special comment on Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center. Maddow rightfully points out that conservatives such as Newt Gingrich get away with the same anti-Muslim xenophobia. Gingrich is a cynical pol who wants to sell books and toy (unsuccessfully) with the idea winning the presidency. Gingrich knows the fringe of the Republican Party will eat up his nonsense.

Gingrich argued the Cordoba House YMCA-style facility at Park 51 should not be opened because "there are no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia. In fact no Christian or Jew can even enter Mecca." Since when does America base its religious freedoms on what Saudi Ababia does. The stupidit of Gingrich's rants would be laughable if the media didn't give the disgraced House Speaker a 24/7 soapbox on cable news.
