New Hampshire Republican: Defective People Should Die In Siberia

[RandySF]

A Republican in the New Hampshire House of Representatives regrets telling one of his constituents that the mentally challenged and other "defective" people should be sent to Siberia so they don't stand to inherit control of the world.

"The world population has gotten too big and the world is being inherited by too many defective people," Rep. Martin Harty told one of his constituents. "I mean all the defective people, the drug addicts, mentally ill, the retarded -- all of them."

Asked what should be done with those people, Harty said, "I believe if we had a Siberia we should send them to this and they would all freeze and die and we will be rid of them."

The catch -- he's a 91 year old, who was swept into office on a GOP wave, and everyone's basically too deferential to tell him he's gone too far.

new ice domain? Oh, I thought you typed dysfunctional.

politicians.
