	The Carpetbagger Report » Blog Archive » CAIR files lawsuit against Cass Ballenger
		One of the House’s most notorious bigots, North Carolina Rep. Cass Ballenger (R), is being sued for defamation by a Muslim civil rights group the lawmaker accused of having terrorist ties.
		In October, Ballenger said that he and his wife would look out the window at CAIR’s offices and become anxious about what he described as women “wearing hoods.” He added that his home is less than three blocks from the Capitol and he was concerned that the Muslims at CAIR “could blow the place up.”
		While many, including me, found Ballenger’s remarks to be almost amusing in their idiocy, CAIR is arguing that having a sitting member of Congress levy such scandalous charges against their group has damaged the organization’s reputation.
