Paul Hackett recently made some rather hateful and incendiary remarks about people of faith.
The Columbus Dispatch published an article where Democrat Paul Hackett accuses the Ohioans of being Anti-American due to the recent vote for a constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage. The following is an excerpt from the article...
*“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," he said. "The challenge is for the rest of us moderate Americans and citizens of the world to put down the fork and spoon, turn off the TV, and participate in the process and try to push back on these radical nuts – and they are nuts.”
Our own Ohio GOP Chairman Bob Bennett stated the following in reference to Paul Hackett’s remarks...
**“Paul Hackett’s attempt to compare Christian conservatives to terrorists is abhorrent and completely inappropriate. These intolerant views have no place in the public debate, and I hope his fellow Democrats reject this divisive hate speech. Hackett has shown repeatedly that he will say or do anything to get attention, and it’s unfortunate that views like his are embraced by the Democratic Party. I think, Mr. Hackett, you’ve once again proven who the real ‘radical nut’ is.”
