Republicans in US House Demand Boston Bombing Be Politicized
Under the sleaze tactic of never letting a national tragedy to go un-politicized, the GOP led House will hold hearings.
wtf?
This Right Wing Piece of Shit, Michael Thomas McCaul, Sr. will hold hearings?

Controversy
In August 2011 AlterNet reported that McCaul, along with John Culberson and Ted Poe were attempting to remove the right of deceased soldiers families to choose which prayers, if any, were to be read at a soldiers funeral.
The three politicians were said to be attempting to impose Christian ceremonies on the military funerals of everybody who has served in the military, regardless of whether or not the deceased was Christian and with or without the consent of the family of the deceased.
The three politicians stated their demands were a response to Veterans Affairs (VA) banning Christian prayers at military funerals, however, VA state this claim is "blatantly false" as VA respects a families "rights to pray however they choose at our national cemeteries"
