At the beginning of the month, with very little fanfare, Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas), a freshman member who holds Tom DeLay’s old seat, introduced H. Res 809 to honor James O’Keefe III and Hannah Giles, the young conservatives who filmed the ACORN sting that grabbed headlines last month.

It’s been about a week since four bigoted members of Congress used a book published by the birthers at WorldNetDaily to call for a witchhunt of Muslims on Capitol Hill.
