Cover Your Head, Mr. President

ABC reports that Obama is passing on India's Golden Temple:

President Obama will skip visiting one of the country’s most sacred shrines out of fear that wearing the requisite headgear might make him appear Muslim …

Joyner strikes the right tone in response:

Let’s hope this report is wrong because it would be truly embarrassing for the leader of the free world to risk insulting an important ally — the second most populous country on the planet — because it might fuel an idiotic conspiracy theory at home.  Especially considering that the Sikhs aren’t even Muslim.

Sigh. The only way to fight FNC/RNC propaganda is to stare it down defiantly. Never let them see you afraid. Never concede the point to liars, bigots, and charlatans.
