Hagel asks Indian professor if he’s member of the Taliban

Hagel asks Indian professor if he’s member of the Taliban. A ship of fools would be an improvement. At least Hagel didn’t ask him if he ran a convenience store.

He sounds like some of the cone-heads out here. The idiots attack Hindus and Sikhs thinking they're Muslims. If your going to kick someone's ass or insult them at least make sure who your dealing with,

  It is particularly annoying that they target Sikhs because they wear turbans. Muslims don't wear turbans. And the only "towel heads" are Middle Eastererners, Muslim or not!

  He is a conservative, or at least a Republican. The Republican Party pretty much disowned him for being thicker than a rock, but he never has changed his party affiliation. Okay, let's call him a RINO rather than conservative.
