Did Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) Yell "Baby Killer"?
I posted earlier that some thought it was Radanovich, but now Rich Sanchez's twitter followers suspect Rep. Gohmert for "BABY KILLER!" shout. (LLStarks' post)

Max Blumenthal, who thought it may be Radanovich, has video clips here to compare the voices:

But I think the voice sounds more like Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), who was recently at a Tea Bagger rally ranting about abortion, yelling "I brought an abortion to show you!"


Listen here to the video clip:

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX): Demons Have Invaded The U.S. Capitol

At a Tea Party rally in Washington DC today, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) declared that demonic forces are behind the health care reform bill.

Speaking shortly after he riled up a crowd at Tuesday's Tea Party protest, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) declared that "demons" - yes, demons - have invaded the capital (and likely the souls of Democrats), forcing lawmakers to mislead the public about the content of the health care bill. "Well it would take a demon to be this dishonest about a bill," the Texas Republican told the Huffington Post. "If they would just read the bill, they would see what they are saying is dishonest." Asked to expand a bit more on what he meant, Gohmert stepped back a bit from a literal interpretation, though still floating the possibility that Democrats were possessed. "Well, somebody is making people be dishonest and it is a play on words, too," he said.

Good As You reminds us that it was Gohmert who repeatedly claimed that the Matthew Shepard Act protected pedophiles from prosecution, a ridiculous charge that was widely repeated across the wingnutosphere.

Is "self-executing" some pro life fundie code word or what?

3. Goober Gomer will probably have someone post it on his webpage tomorrow to get donations, but
if it was him, it totally would not surprise me.

They are so into their twisted little world that look radical and delusional when they hit the real world.

11. I am proud of my physical confrontations with those who shout "baby killers."
Clinic defense. These people are human scum, social dregs.

12. Update: Gohmert denies it was him; Bachmann, Price deny a Repug made the remarks

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said it wasn't him. "I have no idea who yelled it because they were seated behind me and the House was packed,” he said. “Whoever said it was obviously upset, but it was inappropriate for them to yell that.”
Update Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Tom Price (R-GA) denied a Republican congressman made the remarks.

Will Bachmann will blame it on ACORN and SEIU plants?
