The Star Advertiser refused to print my comments on this subject. Hopefully Civil Beat will not be as dishonest as Star Advertiser.

Before Democrats get too self-righteous in the face of this blatant anti-Hindu bigotry of the Republican candidate, let's remember it was Democratic Representative Ed Case who first tried to foment anti-Hindu/Krishna bigotry when he ran against Mike Gabbard, Tulsi's father.
 
Case featured on his website during the campaign open letters to Mike Gabbard demanding answers to questions about his perceived religion, clearly written to insinuate fear and hatred toward Hinduism and Krishna Vaishnavism.

For example, Case demanded: "Are you or have you been a follower of the religion sometimes called Vaisnava or Vaishava, and have you worshipped or do you worship Lord Brahma or Lord Vishnu?" and "Do you follow or have you followed the teachings of the Vedas?"
