Astonishing! Here you have a sitting Democratic US Congressman who has absolutely no knowledge of, what to speak of respect for, the most ancient and largest branch of Hinduism with hundreds of millions of adherents http://www.hinduheritage.info/ .

Case's Democratic supporters also went door to door telling people that they shouldn't vote for Mike Gabbard because he's a Hare Krishna. Supporters of Esther Kia'aina and Mufi Hannemann also tried to foment the same anti-Krishna religious bigotry against Tulsi Gabbard in 2012. And there have been other "respected" powerful leaders (including in the media) who have been spewing the same kind of anti-Hindu/Krishna rhetoric--albeit in a more refined form. 

Not a single Democratic or Republican leader in Hawai'i castigated Ed Case for his bigoted tactic.
