And yes, there are other sources, this isn't speculation about Rubio.
MORE:
[snip]But after a November election that saw three of the partys loudest voices on creeping Shariah defeatedand the GOP presidential nominee ignore the issue entirelythe anti-Islam movement within the Republican party may have peaked. Wary of further alienating a once-promising conservative constituency, mainstream Republican leaders have sought, publicly and behind closed doors, to distance themselves from the loudest of the Muslim-bashers in their midst.
They have gotten a bit of bad odor, says GOP power-broker Grover Norquist, who has pushed to change his partys tone on Islam.
A turning point came in July, when Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), along with four Republican colleagues, signed a letter demanding an investigation into the Muslim Brotherhoods supposed infiltration of the State Department.
Days later, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had condemned Bachmanns letter from the floor of the Senate, calling it unwarranted and unfounded and scurrilous. Speaker of the House John Boehner piled on, calling the letter dangerous.
Sen. Marco Rubio, the Florida senator and tea party favorite widely touted as a potential 2016 contender, publicly denounced the allegations promoted by Bachmann and her allies, like former Reagan official and longtime anti-Shariah activist Frank Gaffney.
Norquist, who runs the influential group Americans for Tax Reform, says that following the letter controversy, We have heard back from a bunch of Hill staffersWe are keeping our guy away from Gaffney and those guys, theyre crazy.
Gaffney has been blacklisted from the American Conservative Union, which hosts the annual CPAC confab, since 2011, after accusing Norquist and an associate, Suhail Khan, of aiding the Muslim Brotherhood..... His insistence on accusing anyone who deviates from his anti-Shariah line of terrorist sympathies has put him on the outs with the Republican establishment

PS...this is an interesting article, even if from MJ...it goes on to tell about Herman Cain criticizing Islam and Grover Norquist getting Cains thinking right on that subject.
That woman has a spine of steel.

Marco WAS a rising star to me, but after the amnesty debacle and this, I just have no hope in him now.
I’m beginning to think this whole immigration *reform* thing isn’t all about illegals who are here “picking lettuce”.
But the Muslim Brotherhood would sure as Hell benefit from your Amnesty Scheme!
Hell everyone does
Except the American People!
Go Michele!!!!
I Stand with Michele Bachmann!!!
And she is right.
Who let Rubio under the wire? He’s. DotGov sapper sent to disrupt and split forces.
“Rubio! You Betraying Amnesty Sucking Whore!!!”
Oh, C’mon Darlin’,tell us what you really think!
Forget Rubio. He chose the wrong friends to have a future. People like McCain and Graham are the reason people dislike Republicans. Rubio chose that side.
That is not a "condemnation." The article headline is propaganda to promote conflict between conservatives.
LOUDER!
Rubio is really throwing in with the Rockefeller Republicans, no? That’s what happens when they get into office.
Yep. MarcoPhone Rubio has been exposed.
Thanks for posting.
Rubio is a garden variety Reconquistador, another power seeking Spaniard using any tactics he can to be the Big Man and Rule the Gringos.
Like Castro, Chavez, Daniel Ortega, Peron (Eva and Juan) and a host of other petty tyrants, he seeks only to be the Caudillo, the clown in the sunglasses and the uniform with the epaulets waving to the Peons from the balcony.
Because in his society this is how you win.
Bachmann represents the Anglo threat to that society: a true egalitarian who emphasizes achievement, critical thought, and a respect for social values found to be sound over the milennia instead of posturing, blustering, and corruption.
They hate her for her freedom!
The freedom to look at degeneracy and say No, not going back to that. Civilization is not bolstered by Third World chaos and lack of values.
But to Rubio, McCain and the Mr. Light-in-the-Loafers Graham, they care not for civilization; only their own personal power.
Bingo.
They can’t be that stupid.
They can’t be that ignorant.
They could be that greedy, or perhaps downright evil.
I Stand with Michele Bachmann!!!
Absolutely correct - except, America isn't "her country."
Guess he's never heard of 'moles' or 'sleepers"?
Michelle is obvioulsy 'over target' - else why all the flack?
We don't need him anywhere near the WH - anyone who denies the enemy is inside the gates is either lacking in brain power or patriotism.
