A man who keep surpassing himself in the ability to say the most dangerous and obnoxious things

From here

'How could Indira Gandhi's grandson pose a danger to the country, the Sena chief asked. "If what he said poses danger to the country then arrest 80 crore Hindus under NSA," he added.'

Question: What is worse, more damaging and more anger arousing than Varun Gandhi's recent views and "alleged" remarks that got him booked under the NSA?

Answer: A crazed old fascist hoping to speak on behalf of 80 crore Hindus of this country, and suggesting that they might endorse those (or similar) views.

I don't know what it is about people assuming the right to represent and speak on behalf of others. It just pisses me off. Whether it is Manmohan Singh telling George Bush that the people of India love him, or whether it is Thackeray going off on his grotesque religious tangents again.
