Senate candidate unapologetic for saying GOP hijacked by fanatics

WASHINGTON - Ohio's Republican leader wants Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Paul Hackett to apologize for calling some conservative Republicans religious fanatics and comparing them to terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden.

Hackett was unapologetic Tuesday for the comments in a newspaper story, saying religious fanatics of any flavor should be ashamed.

"I said it. I meant it. I stand behind it," he said.

Hackett said in a Sunday column in The Columbus Dispatch: "The Republican Party has been hijacked by the religious fanatics that, in my opinion, aren't a whole lot different than Osama bin Laden and a lot of the other religious nuts around the world."

Hackett is running against a liberal from congress in the primary. I am pulling for him and other "Fightin' Dems" that are running.

There are something like 30 Iraq war vets running as Democrats this year and one running as a Republican.

What's up with that chicken hawks?

Is she an over-educated Democrat or an under-educated Republican?

I can't tell by looking.
