He has a ZERO rating from the American Conservative Union. He is the only Muslim member of congress. He supports the Counsel for American Islamic Relations, HAMAS and has helped congress send millions of tax to terrorists in Gaza.

The Tea Party is dangerous not only because of the people who are in it but also because of the rhetoric use, which is hateful, ignorant and uninformed.
