NASHVILLE — Stewart County Republican Party Chairman Kyle Mallory says Gov. Bill Haslam's greatest failing is that "he hasn't cleaned house" by ridding state government of Democrats and homosexuals in key positions and by hiring a Muslim.
Mallory is one what he described as "10 or 12 Republican activists" urging county party organizations to adopt resolutions condemning Haslam and urging the Republican State Executive Committee to take some action against the governor.
His home county party has done so, including a concern over homosexuals working in the Department of Children's Services.
At least seven other county GOP organizations have also adopted resolutions criticizing Haslam, though at least two restrict their criticism to the hiring of Samar Ali as director of international marketing with the Department of Economic and Community Development.

And the woman they're attacking, Samar Ali? Here's what she had to say after the 9/11 attacks:

"When I saw my country’s buildings come tumbling down with thousands of my fellow citizens on Tuesday, I felt angry as an American at whoever did this. The other part of me felt upset as a Muslim… I want everyone to know that Arabs and Muslims around the world condemn this act… We cannot let these terrorists succeed and fill our hearts with hatred. We cannot allow them to split us apart as Americans." - Samar Ali, 9/13/2001 Vanderbilt's Come Together ceremony.
These cretins are so hateful and misguided it makes me want to cry.
