You know the answer to that one already. The Republican it's coming from this time is Bill Sali, Idaho's first congressional district representative who first said this:

"We have not only a Hindu prayer being offered in the Senate, we have a Muslim member of the House of Representatives now, Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Those are changes -- and they are not what was envisioned by the Founding Fathers," asserts Sali.... According to Congressman Sali, the only way the U.S. can continue to survive is under that protective hand of God. He states when a Hindu prayer is offered, "that's a different god" and that it "creates problems for the longevity of this country."

then followed up in a "clarification" to a local paper by saying:

multiculturalism is in conflict with the national motto "E Pluribus Unum," or "out of many, one." He said multiculturalism would mean "out of the many, the many." "The question is, is multiculturalism good or not?" Sali said. "I don’t think the Founding Fathers were multicultural. Multiculturalism is the antithesis of (the motto)." Sali said the United States was founded on principles derived primarily from the Scriptures. And he said drifting away from those principles could put the country in danger. "If we’re going to move away from those principles ... we better consider the blessings of God that have been bestowed on this country and the protective hand of God that’s been over this country," Sali said.

Having come under fire in Idaho (one paper called him a "Capitol Hill sideshow") and nationally for his bigoted remarks, Sali has extended an "apology" to Congressman Ellison.

Sali responded days later, sending Ellison an e-mail explaining he meant no offense. "He said that he wanted to make sure that Congressman Ellison understood that he meant no harm or disrespect," Sali spokesman Wayne Hoffman said.

Meant no harm. Uh huh. Rep. Ellison graciously accepted the apology, but that has to leave a lot of people hanging. First of all, the people of the state of Idaho--the majority of whom (I promise) don't enjoy being embarrassed on the national stage, despite the propensity they have to sending embarrassing types to D.C. Then there's all the non-white, non-Christian citizens of the country who Sali apparently considers detrimental to our national experiment. Sali's got a lot more apologizing to do, and next time a little sincerity would be appreciated.
