Unhinged.

Ohio US Senate candidate Paul Hackett (D) made the following statement in a Sunday column and he’s not a bit sorry about it.

“The Republican Party has been hijacked by the religious fanatics that, in my opinion, aren’t a whole lot different than Osama bin Laden and a lot of the other religious nuts around the world.”

“I said it. I meant it. I stand behind it,” he said.

And have any other Democrats come out to condemn Hackett?

Nope. Nadda. Nein.

It’s shameful.
