You said "there isn't" You're agreeing that there's no such thing as Islamaphobia ?It looks like Rand Paul doesn't know what party HE'S in.Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal took a swing at Rand Paul on Wednesday, calling him "unsuited" to take over as commander in chief.
Jindal slammed Paul's argument as "illogical," insisting instead that "evil and radical Islam" is the only source of ISIS. He also added, though, that President Barack Obama and leading Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "exacerbate" ISIS.
"The next President's job is to have the discipline and strength to wipe ISIS off the face of the earth. It has become impossible to imagine a President Paul defeating radical Islam, and it's time for the rest of us to say it," Jindal said.

New York Congressman Peter King, talking on MSNBC, also raked Paul over the coals on his outlandish comments about ISIS, calling him an "isolationist" who could have fit in with those back in the 1930s. I suspect most Republicans and eve some Democrats will rebuke Paul on this .
Paul, who before this (and his Patriot Act filibuster) had good scores in the polls, could quite likely have talked himself right out of the GOP nomination race. It's hard to imagine him even being re-elected as Senator, let alone run for President.
Why? Because he didn't reduce it to cute little bite-size Islamophobe nuggets like a good little demagogue?
It's revealing you refer to "his outlandish comments about ISIS" without ever mentioning what those comments were. From your own link:
-- Which Jindal, in a classic example of Doublethink, then describes as "taking the weakest, most liberal Democrat position."
"ISIS exists and grew stronger because of the hawks in our party."
Apparently Bobby Brady doesn't know what party Rand Paul is in.
PS - there is no such thing as "Islamaphobe"
No, there isn't.
That's why I spelled it right in the first place.
I think Rand Paul knows perfectly well what party he's in -- he refers to it with the pronoun "our".
For that matter Jindal knows too. What he doesn't know is that dissent is a healthy thing. The story tells much more about Jindal --- that apparently he's a lockstep-bot. That means Jindal's stock goes down while Paul's goes up.
And Paul no longer HAS a stock. He has hung himself.
