Indian Group Still Angry with Hillary

Up to 1,000 protesters upset over U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton's inappropriate remark about civil rights icon Mahatma Gandhi plan to descend on her Manhattan office this afternoon, a spokesman for the group Proud Indian-Americans tells NewsMax.com.

Mrs. Clinton quickly apologized for the remark -- but that hasn't made everyone happy.

According to a statement released by the group, the protest will feature "a live Gandhi look-alike asking Hillary Clinton the question, 'What were you thinking when you made those remarks against me?'"

At a fund-raiser Jan. 3 in Missouri, Mrs. Clinton mentioned the civil rights leader. "Mahatma Gandhi - he ran a gas station down in St. Louis for a couple of years. Mr. Gandhi, you still go to the gas station? A lot of wisdom comes out of that gas station."

Four days later she said she "regretted" the "lame attempt at humor." But Sylvester Fernandez, a spokesman for Proud Indian-Americans told NewsMax, "That's not enough!"

"She offended 1.1 billion Indians all over the world," he complained, after plans for the demonstration were reported on WABC Radio Wednesday morning.
