Something for the Tea Party to be truly proud of:

Republican Congressional Nominee: A Woman Can Run for Office With Husband's Permission

Hice has many colorful opinions, such as arguing that Americans should be allowed to own bazookas, Islam isn't a religion deserving of First Amendment protections, and immigration is a "threat to our liberties" and therefore should be met by citizen-organized armed resistance.

He also has opinions about women. In a 2004 Athens Banner-Herald story about the influx of women into politics, Hice said, "If the woman's within the authority of her husband, I don't see a problem." How very generous of him. Sadly, the Banner-Herald did not follow up and ask about the political futures of women who don't have husbands on hand to give them permission. more . . .

Completely looney, I agree. But political parties will always have extremes on both sides. On the conservative side, you're going to have kooks that go full biblical on everyone (this guy is a pastor). But you've got complete lunatics on the left as well that preach full blown socialism, etc. Instead of just focusing on the right wing ones (which you make a career out of in your "balanced" coverage), let's just admit it occurs on both sides of the coin and be done with it.
