Teabagger leader wants Muslim member of Congress to lose because he's Muslim

Washington Post:

The founder of one of the country's most prominent tea party organizations said in an interview Wednesday that he stands by an Internet column in which he urged the defeat of U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat, because he is Muslim.

"If you read the Koran, the Koran in no uncertain terms says some wonderful things like, 'Kill the infidels,' " said Judson Phillips, the founder of Nashville-based Tea Party Nation. "It says it on more than one occasion. I happen to be the infidel. I have a real problem with people who want to kill me just because I'm the infidel."
