Neugebauer a birther to yell baby killer
Texas GOP Rep. Randy Neugebauer: “I ‘Baby Killer’!”
POSTED IN LIBERALAND BY ALAN • MARCH 22, 2010, 3:03 PM ET • LEAVE A COMMENT »
Now that he’s had a day to think about it, Texas Republican Congressman Randy Neugebauer is saying that it was the bill he was calling a “baby killer,” not fellow Congressman Bart Stupak.

“Last night was the climax of weeks and months of debate on a health care bill that my constituents fear and do not support. In the heat and emotion of the debate, I exclaimed the phrase ‘it’s a baby killer’ in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership. While I remain heartbroken over the passage of this bill and the tragic consequences it will have for the unborn, I deeply regret that my actions were mistakenly interpreted as a direct reference to Congressman Stupak himself.

“I have apologized to Mr. Stupak and also apologize to my colleagues for the manner in which I expressed my disappointment about the bill. The House Chamber is a place of decorum and respect. The timing and tone of my comment last night was inappropriate.”



It should be noted that in addition to the “baby killer” outburst, Neugebauer is also a sponsor of the so-called “Birther Bill,” introduced by Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL), to require presidential candidates “to include with the committee’s statement of organization a copy of the candidate’s birth certificate, together with such other documentation as may be necessary to establish that the candidate meets the qualifications for eligibility to the Office of President under the Constitution.”
