Taxi Terror

Fox News

Senator Conrad Burns says the U.S. is up against a "faceless enemy" of terrorists who — quote —"drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night." Those remarks aren't sitting well with the Council on American Islamic Relations, which accused the Montana Republican of contributing to "anti-Muslim hysteria." But Burns' campaign says he was just pointing out that terrorists can be anywhere.

The senator has drawn criticism during his re-election campaign for calling his house painter "a nice little Guatemalan man" and implying that he's an illegal immigrant and apologized earlier this year for telling an out-of-state firefighting team they'd done a "piss poor job" in dealing with a Montana wildfire.
