On Friday night, candidate Ron Paul made an appearance on Jay Leno’s television show. Leno asked Paul what he thought of his rivals. The Texas congressman said Romney and Gingrich are not presidential material and labeled Bachmann and Santorum as Muslim-haters.

On Sunday, Bachmann responded to Paul’s comments. “I haven’t heard that,” she told Politico during a campaign stop in Iowa. “It’s kind of an odd thing to say, I think. I think the Iranian threat is real. That doesn’t mean that I hate the Muslim people.”
She may not hate Muslims, but she is not shy about attacking them.
Bachmann said on NBC’s Meet the Press last week that she “would have every alternative and option on the table” in response to Iran’s unsubstantiated nuclear weapons program. She repeated the myth that Iran has stated it will nuke Israel if it gets a nuclear bomb.
“Because they have stated unequivocally, once they gain a nuclear weapon, they will use that weapon to wipe Israel off of the map and they will use it against the United States,” she said.
Ahmadinejad was mistranslated by MEMRI, a pro-Israel propaganda outfit headed by a former Israeli military intelligence officer. The Iranian president said the the “regime occupying Jerusalem” (a Muslim holy city) “must [vanish from] the page of time,” in other words he hoped the Israeli government would collapse. The establishment media has used this grossly mistranslated passage to insist Iran poses a threat not only to Israel, but also the United States.
Iran has not stated it will attack the United States, as Bachmann claimed during the debate last week. She also insisted the latest International Atomic Energy Agency report states that Iran is within months of having nuclear arms.
“There is no U.N. report that said that. It’s totally wrong, what you just said,” Paul responded.
Rick Santorum also believes Iran will acquire a nuclear weapon and when it does the “public is going to be stunned when all hell breaks loose.” He supported violating Iran’s national sovereignty and said the U.S. “could have been in the position during the Green Revolution [to oust the mullahs] if we had publicly condemned the regime, brought in the U.N. and rallied the world community behind the dissidents.”
He also said the TSA should to single out Muslims for screening at airports.
