It is terrifying that this lunatic has been elected to anything, never mind the House. He uses every single Freeper talking point against the Reinvestment and Recovery Act; even the lies about Rats and health care. He is even too stupid to know that there already is a National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, appointed by his useless hero GW Bush.

The GOP has nothing but lies.

(AP)

Remarks linking Barack Obama and Adolf Hitler


A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.

"It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."
Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.

"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."
Obama's comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado about building a new civil service corps. Among other things, he called for expanding the nation's foreign service and doubling the size of the Peace Corps "to renew our diplomacy."
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said in July. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force.

Obama has said he respects the Second Amendment right to bear arms and favors "common sense" gun laws. Gun rights advocates interpret that as meaning he'll at least enact curbs on ownership of assault weapons and concealed weapons. As an Illinois state lawmaker, Obama supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on firearms generally.

"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."
Obama's transition office did not respond immediately to Broun's remarks.

Further statements (Wiki)
The following day, November 11, Broun seemingly backed away from his statements, saying on WGAC radio, "I regret putting it that way," and "I apologize to anyone who has taken offense at that." Broun nevertheless asserted that Obama "is extremely liberal" and "has promoted a lot of socialistic ideas, and it just makes me concerned."
His remarks in the radio interview were at first interpreted in the press as an apology. However, Broun's office later said he was "not taking back anything he said" and a spokeswoman said, "We have not issued any official apology” for the remarks. The spokeswoman said Broun stood by a written statement he had issued in which he criticized Obama for having "socialist views" and raised what the Atlanta Journal Constitution described as "ominous concerns" about the civilian force. The news release read in part, "I firmly believe that we must not fall victim to the 'it can't happen here' mentality. I adhere to the adage 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.'"
Broun claimed that his comments had been sensationalized by the media.

8. "Obama's transition office did not respond immediately to Broun's remarks."
They should have just laughed hysterically.

Republicans are just wonderful examples of stupid.

6. what is it with Republicans and gay rape imagery?
This guy talks about them "shoving this bill down our throats," and Rush always talks about being forced to "bend over and grab your ankles." Repressed fantasies?

And have these Republicans completely forgotten about Terry Schiavo? "I'm a medical doctor, and I'm certain that the federal government can no more determine what is the most cost-effective and appropriate for mah patients, than they can best determine how to educate our children."

:crazy:

12. Watched the whole pathetic speech.
Wow...where do I begin. First of all, he is one of the WORST speakers I have ever heard. I mean, I consider myself mediocre at best, but this guy would have been the laughing stock of any speech class in my college experience. PATHETIC!!

Secondly, the material he had was written by either "funny rush limpballs" or some other equivalent pea brain from the right wing "catch phrase school for idiots". I would have been embarrassed to read that piece of trash notes he raped out loud.

Thirdly and lastly, if this ignorant SOB is any representative to the people of Georgia, they had better be damned good and ashamed of themselves. I've never heard a congressman speak with a more pathetic delivery, with more ignorant dumb ass talking points, with a worse stinking southern drawl than this prick.

his party is on it's deathbed, and jerk offs like him will hasten the straight line on the life support system. What a dunce!!

13. Once again, gotta say, this guy's the symptom, not the disease
if it wasn't him, it'd be somewhat else spouting the exact same divorced from reality bullshit. The problem ,as always, is the ignorant brainwashed ( and apparently brain-dead) voters in his district. How to get millions of Americans from electing bozos like this guy is something I don't have an answer to; probably is no answer....there's just always gonna be an awful lot of really, really, stupid people out there doing their Charlie Brown and the football routine. No matter how many times their own particular Lucy pulls the ball away, they'll fall for it just the same next time, and further, never even realize the football got pulled away... and if they do, will go to their graves convinced it was them libruls what done it.

24. He is apposed to liberal values because we believe in science and education for all.
If people become educated they are less likely to believe Repuklicon lies. If our children are taught to think criticaly they are less likely to vote for pukes like him, so they fight tooth and nail against anything that increases money for schools. They know what they're doing. They don't love America or have any appreciation for our secular, pluralistic society or system of government. They want power above all else. They hold onto power by keeping people stupid. Isn't it only the stupid people states (the one's with the lowest achievement scores) that voted for McCain? I am left-coast liberal arts college educated, but before that I went to public school in Texas. I was liberal in high school but still found myself supporting Repukes like Raygun and Bush 1. Funny how that works.

23. Where do I start with this creep?
Who wrote that speech? Rush Limbaugh?
He consistently refers to it as the 'non-stimulus bill'.
He keeps making references to 'socialism' (4 times)
He predicts that Dr.Doom will deny people health care when it isn't 'cost efficient', when in fact the insurance companies do that now- for those of us who can afford insurance, that is...

And to top it all off, he goes over his time by about 20 seconds!
