UPDATE: Rep Gohmert (TX) may be one who yelled, "Baby Killer". Joe Barton will not say.
Edited on Mon Mar-22-10 01:36 AM by NYC_SKP
Original Subject line:

Joe Barton (R-Texas) Knows Who Shouted, "Baby Killer", but he's not tellin'...

So I hope someone puts the spotlight on him, and others, because more than a few people know.

Rick Sanchez twitters: http://twitter.com/ricksanchezcnn

Gohmert, you may remember him, I think he recently said, "I brought an abortion to show you today":

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/03/stupak-called-baby-killer-on-h.html?wprss=44

ep. John Campbell (R-Calif.) acknowledged late Sunday night that a Republican yelled "baby killer" as Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) urged his fellow Democrats to vote down a Republican amendment on abortion services in the health-care legislation.snip

Campbell, initially suspected as the lawmaker who shouted the phrase, told reporters that he didn't say it and believed that it came from a member sitting a row behind him, where the Texas Republicans usually sit. Campbell said he heard "a Southern accent".

"The people who know won't give it up," Campbell told reporters. He said the remark was "clear as a bell."

Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) said he heard the remark and said it did come from in the area of where the Texas and California delegations sit. He said he believes he knows who yelled it, but declined to say anymore.

"I can make a guess," Barton said.

10. It would not surprise me if it was Gohmert - LOOK........

Texas Republican Gohmert: "Demons Have Invaded The Capitol"

GOHMERT: "We’ve been battling this socialist health care, the nationalization of health care, that is going to absolutely kill senior citizens. They’ll put them on lists and force them to die early because they won’t get the treatment as early as they need"

Gohmert - Compares Gays To Beastiality & Hitler:

3. Obey knows who it was
From Huffington Post:

Rep. David Obey (D-Wisc.), who was presiding over the floor when the anonymous Republican member made the outburst, told reporters he knows who the offending lawmaker is but won't name names.

"Members have a right to make an idiot of themselves once without being exposed," he said.

7. There's nothing to prevent him from surreptitiously letting it become known...
...and it's not like there weren't other people in the room.


Let's see what the news brings tomorrow....
