Boehner: "I"m horrified by the sensless attack . . ."

Edited on Sat Jan-08-11 03:56 PM by Phx_Dem

A day late a dollar short asshole. You should have been horrified when Palin posted a hit list with a bulls-eye on faces of elected members of Congress and posted "We've diagnosed the problem . . . Help us identify the solution."

Or perhaps when Bachman called for "armed and dangerous" opposition to cap-and trade, or maybe when Steve King called for a goverment overthrow. It's too fucking late to be "horrified" Boner.

Boner - "I am horrified by the senseless attack on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and members of her staff. An attack on one who serves is an attack on all who serve. Acts and threats of violence against public officials have no place in our society. Our prayers are with Congresswoman Giffords, her staff, all who were injured, and their families. This is a sad day for our country."

Michelle Bachman - "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us, “Having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,” and the people – we the people – are going to have to fight back hard if we’re not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States."

Michelle Bachman - This past Wednesday (2009), Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on Sean Hannity’s radio show, and sharply reiterated her calls for revolution in America, warning against the imminent dangers of tyranny under Barack Obama:

Steve King - According to the Huffington Post, “King declared that a peaceful uprising, a la the successful overthrowing of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia on the streets of Prague in 1989 "would be fine with me,"

From the same article - "Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”

Although King, Palin and Bachmann have every right to disagree with the passage of health care reform, even the hint of overthrowing the United States government because of it, begs the questions - why would they even suggest such a thing? And what will we end up with if no one stops them?"
