The "false alarm" today at the capitol was caused by a Republican.

[Beelzebud]

This just shows how much of cowards and chickenshits these republicans are. Had this guy served, or even ever fired a gun, maybe he'd know what real gunfire sounds like...

1. No surprise...I figured as much....

[acmavm]

2. Well, you don't see the silver lining to this cloud like this Saxton clown

does. Gave the DC police some practice, let them 'shine'.

[bluefish]

9. I cannot believe he said that either

What about wasting taxpayers dollars, or wasting police time?

[stevedeshazer]

3. So this is the face of fear?

[Iowa]

20. Boo!

...that's about what it takes for most repukes to lose bowel and bladder control. This afternoon I bought a large bag of balloons, a hat-pin, a ticket to DC, and 10,000 shares of Fruit-of-the-Loom. I expect to be a rich man by sometime next week.

[MrBenchley]

4. Worth noting he's opposed to gun control...except when he's afraid

Telling, no?

[Kingshakabobo]

7. LOL. I'm surprised he didn't produce his pop-gun from his britches..

....and run TOWARD the fight.

[MrBenchley]

10. Katherine Harris and Rush Limbaugh lost their pistol permits....

Guess Republicans are nervous with those stalwart defenders of justice disarmed (snicker)

[Kingshakabobo]

11. Why did Harris lose her permit?? I knew about Ox-y-rush. n/t

[MrBenchley]

14. It's pretty funny....

Originally she said it lapsed (she went diving for dipshits at someplace called the Hallelujahland Ranch a couple weekends ago), but then it turned out she never had one...so when she was running around with a pistol she was doing so illegally.

http://www.sptimes.com/2006/05/12/State/Harris_aims_to_renew_.shtml

The photo-op itself was a hilarious fiasco--her chief of staff and the local GOP chief had a public argument about whether the press would get to photograph Harris shooting her gun. Her staffer won the argument, the press was barred from taking pictures...and then Harris complained publicly to the assembled reporters that they hadn't taken her picture while she was shooting.

5. He's a chickenhawk, too

And a terrorism advocate.

[IChing]

6. A republican manipulating terror and fear? No way....

now where is my 5 color terror alert card when I need it?..
Oh well, seems not to be around the house
but I do have a sticker.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

8. That's Because Republican Congresspeople Are

pussies and cowards.

If they weren't, they would've stood up to bushco by now. But they are too cowardly to do so. Not a surprise to me at all one ran alllllll the way back to his office because he heard a wittle noise.

[Mnemosyne]

12. Their paranoia comes from knowing how they have

treated We the People. Afraid we're coming for them.

It could happen.

[kestrel91316]

26. Exactly right. You get the gold star tonight.

[Mnemosyne]

27. Thank you kestrel.

Made my night. I know, I need to get a life other than protest and political talk!

It's just too early/late to stomp politicians this morning/week, metaphorically speaking of course.

The Golden Rule works and as "Christians" they were raised hearing it.

Karma is.:evilgrin:

[Warpy]

13. Or if he lived in the city instead of some chichi development

in Bethesda or northern Virginia.

DC is where I learned to tell a .38 from a .22 from a 9mm.

[Ian David]

15. They wanted the building empty to search and bug SOMEONE'S office

Cheaper than using Anthrax again.

[Beelzebud]

17. EXACTLY

[laundry_queen]

16. OK I am totally clueless when it comes to guns...

Never owned one, only shot one once when I was 10 (a .22) with my Grandfather. Have heard shotguns go off before when I lived in the boonies during hunting season. And, I've heard the sound of those pneumatic air nailer and it TOTALLY does not sound like gunfire.
What a chickenshit.

:rofl:

[Jeffersons Ghost]

18. K&R!

what a candy-ass he is... jezzz

[Southsideirish]

19. Lil girlyman got sceerd by the bad noises....

[quiet.american]

21. What a feckin' idiot. He should be made to pay the tab for this. n/t

[Swamp Rat]

22. HAHAHAHA!!! I knew it! ... I just won a bet!!!

:woohoo:

[Beelzebud]

23. LOL nice! :)

[al bupp]

24. What a maroon

as B. Bunny would say

[leesa]

25. The point is distraction...any distraction will do.

All day the news avoided the news because of this nonsense. Tomorrow the criminals will think of something else...maybe a new fake tape from Osama!

[moobu2]

28. Some info on him from Wikipedia

<snip>
"In the US House election, 2006, Saxton is being challenged by Democrat Richard Sexton. Recently Saxton donated to charity thousands of dollars in campaign contributions made by lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

In 1996, Representative Saxton was reportedly arrested fo sexual assault on a minor, which was later expunged. (why am I not surprised?)

Political Positions
Saxton is strongly conservative. He has voted to ban abortion, stem cell research, and gay marriage; he's additionally voted against campaign finance reform, gun control and gay adoption. He supports free trade and voted for CAFTA, the Flag Desecration Amendment, and supports aggressive foreign policy, having voted for the Iraq War Resolution in 2003. He supports the privatization of social security and school vouchers, as well as ending the Department of Education"
