Republicans clam up on Goode/Ellison.

Talking Points Memo is trying and trying to find a single Republican member of Congress who will say anything about Rep. Virgil Goode’s attack on a fellow member of Congress, Rep. Keith Ellison. But not a one. The best, so far, is Rep. Bob Goodlatte’s spokesman saying that he’ll look into it. Perhaps the entire Republican congressional caucus believes that Rep. Keith Ellison is, in fact, a terrorist?

From an AP article:
“Virginia’s senior senator, Republican John Warner, said in a statement Thursday that he respects the right of congressional members to freely ‘exercise the religion of their choice, including those of the Islamic faith utilizing the Quran.’”
