Democrats and Republicans nearly came to blows on the House floor during an extraordinary protest for a vote on gun control legislation.

Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas approached the Democrats and yelled, “Radical Islam!” Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida started yelling back at him. The two came within inches of each other, both yelling.

Lawmakers from both parties separated the two.

The Democrats halted the day’s legislative session with their sit-in and protest. Republicans have struggled to force the House back into session.

Louie Gohmert needs psychiatric help.

[blackspade]

2. Someone call Gohmert a waaambulance!

[Xipe Totec]

10. Waambulance? He needs a padded wagon.

And shinny toys.

[christx30]

11. And a jacket that lets him hug himself. Nt

[Johnyawl]

25. bwahahaha

...I am so stealing that line!

[Zen Democrat]

32. Gohmert is arguably the stupidest person to ever sit in Congress.

And one of the meanest. He's from the "Deep South" area of Texas heavily populated by Georgians burned off their land by Sherman's March to the Sea, who moved west to familiar red dirt country in East Texas. Gohmert even gives the Klan a worse reputation by association with him. And he was a judge. As we say in Liberal Texas, those people live behind The Pine Curtain.

3. Someone should take Gohmert to the Rotunda and tell him to sit in a corner.

That'll keep him busy for a day or two.

9. Took Me A Few Seconds....

[BumRushDaShow]

18. DUzy!

Had to acknowledge this!

[Johnyawl]

27. I managed to miss my laptop...

...but spewed coffee all over the floor! lmfao The idea of Gohmert wandering around the Rotunda looking for a corner is hilarious because he really is that stupid.

[ailsagirl]

4. All repukes do

[dhill926]

5. Well...

My money would've been on Corrine…

[C_U_L8R]

6. these right wing Gomers sure have mental issues

Another recent example...

[tblue37]

14. He seems nice. nt

[47of74]

7. Louie Gohmert should go bleep himself....

....and in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[BlueCaliDem]

28. Amen! eom

[scottie55]

8. To Need A Psychiatrist....

One would need to have a brain.

[TeamPooka]

12. Gohmert is a one deluded motherfucker. nt

[BigMin28]

16. And just think...

He was a judge. Now that is frightening. Even for deep east texas.

[The Second Stone]

13. Louie Gohmert is a radical religious nut, I just didn't think it was

Islam that he was pushing.

[tblue37]

15. Notice that the site identified John Lewis as a Republican:

—

WASHINGTON (MEDIA GENERAL)— It’s been a tense day on the floor of the House of Representatives. More than 30 House Democrats seized the floor, led by Rep. John Lewis (R-Ga.)<italics added>.

17. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs

Some republis egos are undoubtedly going to get butthurt.

But we're tired of mass killings by solo gunman. WTF do we need to say and for how long can we continue going on with lunatics buying weapons of mass destruction. The GOP has blood on their hands tonight.

[msanthrope]

19. He wouldn't last 30 seconds with Rep. Brown. nt

[tanyev]

20. You'd think someone so worried about radical Islam would be a huge supporter of No Fly, No Buy.

[LiberalLovinLug]

23. that's what I thought too

No one can accuse a Republican of even being smart about how they attack back. You'd think they would be concentrating on the so-called slippery slope defense, where even one small iota of gun control means the next day Obama would be sitting in the White House surrounded by all of Americans guns he had just seized.

Instead he wants to highlight the danger of radicalized Islamic terrorists....like the one that just shot up a nightclub? And you won't be doing anything about even doing the minimum of a "no fly, no buy" policy? Stupid is as stupid does.

[Javaman]

21. gohmert is just a hyperbolic blowhard. nt

[packman]

22. This sit-in tactic must be driving the Rep's nuts

the first one just fell off the tree .

[Aristus]

24. "You demon-crats are messin' up my NRA kickbacks!"

[meow2u3]

31. That's about the size of it nt

[Hoyt]

26. To have seen Rep Brown punch Gohmert out . . . . . .

[BlueCaliDem]

29. Loony Louie needs to go! He's USELESS.

[lark]

30. is he as dumb as a box of rocks, or what?

The Dems are trying to stop radical Islamist from getting guns and Repugs wants them to have guns. Can't have a war if the other side isn't armed, so this is important to Repugs. Gohmert is such an asshat.
