A GOP bag man who wants the party’s billionaire supporters know how much he cares.

THIS is your fucking government! THIS is the kind of crackpot that is getting elected! This is the kind of scum that should be tossed out! THIS is why we should be tearing up the streets! This is the reason I am writing my LAST POST ON RAW!!!
FUCK IT!!!

And these assholes think “wiki-leaks” is the devil?

Rep. Joe Barton (R-ToXic)

Barton, another great reason for texas to secede.

I hope someone kills him.

calm the fu*k down rawstory he is not talkng about killing obama i think he is talking about political assassination and what is wrong with politically taking someone out. richard milhouse nixon was politically assassinated was he not and you democrats love it .

You people act as if you are as much of a person as a corporation.

Corporations matter more than people now. Ask ANYONE in the Republican Party (and even a few in the Democratic Party)

The dems in his committee should just come to the meeting, vote present and leave.

I think removing his tongue,his thumb and remove his ears would be okay too.

Misleading headline! Raw, stop it!

Exactamundo Tommy, short sweet and irrefudiatable.

Yes the headline is hyperbole. No he is not calling for assasination, but yes the tone is consistent with the tone that is set by the entire right wing noise machine and its focus tested phrases. There are a lot of unstable angry wingnuts out there listening to all these ‘conservative leaders’. Some of them might take it the wrong way(or the right way if that is how they hope it goes down.)

[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by The Raw Story, Giubilo, murray regan, Hate, Jack and others. Jack said: RT @RawStory: Powerful Republican all but calls for assassination of President Obama: http://is.gd/hZBNY [...]

Sure, Barton is a moronic tool. But this is just manufactured outrage and sensationalism.

This guy gets more money from oil companies than any other congressman and you want to make him the chairmen of that committee???? Give me a ******* break. Hypocritical idiots we have running this country. How can the people of Texas actually vote for this guy?? I say we just get rid of Texas as it is. Can’t we force them to succeed from the union.

Nixon assassinated himself and the country in a bath of acrid paranoia, if I recall correctly, and I do. If you want to harken back to that era, three of our greatest leaders were in fact assassinated after similar rhetoric on the part of your side, and we don’t take veiled threats or idiotically incautious choice of words lightly. The right has been putting out this line at least since the election, and already several insane people have taken it literally and murdered people or attempted to do so, their houses filled with books by O’Reilly and Beck.

Go watch “Seven Days in May” for a fictionalized account about the last time this happened. Yes it’s shameful for the right to be so completely outclassed as it was under Kennedy and now Obama, but suck it up, for the good of the country, please!

Does it really matter? Because no matter which scum rises to the top never respresents the American people’ will. This is an internal war between rival feudal war lords.

Nixon was a foul mouth, devious, crook. He should have gone to prison for the rest of his life! Many men in the Nixon regieme did time for their illegal actions and dirty tricks. Nixon should have joined them. Why do you think that fool resigned??

Read a history book.

This is the same tone of political discourse that precipitated the assasination of Huey Long of Louisiana in 1935. These right-wing nutcases are using this terminology intentionally to inflame the passions of less-than-stable, weak-minded, dumbasses who will then go out and actually do the deed. Dismiss this rhetoric as simple hyperbole at your own peril.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Although the right makes wrong, to be sure!

What church does he go to ?

Anybody know ?

Another reason for the offical banning of the Republican Party! These extremeists are a danger to the nation. Barton is a great poster child for the evil doing right wing in this nation. The heros of WW II would cringe at being associated with this fool. They were honorable men. Barton is a cheap stooge for big oil and the monied interests, and that is all.

Actually it’s a function in totalitarian societies. I don’t know if you recall the last time Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratically elected leader of Burma, was let out of house arrest. She was attacked by a gang of thugs in the provinces, which gave a pretext for the junta to put her back under arrest. It’s thought the gang was directed by a second tier junta leader, who was trying to impress his superiors with his brutality. Similar for this guy, and equally dangerous to democracy. No doubt he’s got sub-thugs wanting to impress him too, polishing the sights on their rifles as we speak. Obama, if you want live, investigate this guy and everyone in his chain of command. Given his girth, you can even call it the battle of the bulge.

Maybe we should expel Texas and impose sanctions. They wanted to be their own country, and maybe that’s how it should be. They certainly don’t seem like Americans.

Jason A, I’m afraid you’ve made the mistake of assuming that the guy can read.

Nutcase Patton…sure. Bradley…I don’t know. But Ike would probably be a Dem now, especially since the very people he warned against are running the country.

Nutcase Patton…sure. Bradley…I don’t know. But Ike would probably be a Dem now, especially since the very people he warned against are running the country.

No kidding! Talk about misleading…..the 24 hour news cycle is wrought with sensationalistic junk like this.

Why isn’t this ass under arrest yet?

You’re probably thinking and hoping that in Texas that kind of talk is viewed in a negative light. /sarc

What leadership! Here’s a guy who has just come out and said he has no interest in governimng for the people, but only in bringing down the President. This is the same kind of gutless turd who consigns young people to die on foreign soil…for freedom and liberty.

Is this clown also OK with Democrats shooting back? I doubt it. This is your typical coward. At the first sign of an equally aggressive opposition, he would become the world’s most fervent pacifist, forswearing violence and invoking the pacifism of Jesus to justify it.

Somebody voted for the beast? He needs to be prosecuted for threatening the president. He is telling us that it his intention to sabotage government. He is a follower of Cantor, the traitor? What is my country coming to?

Ok I am no fan-boy of the Rethugs, but really? This article is reeking of stupidity. You people who buy this article’s claims are like sheep jumping off a cliff.

http://vote-tx.org/Intro.aspx?State=TX&Id=TXBartonJoe

if you’re still interested in his church affiliation see last entry under civic, i also thought the military info is very interesting seeing as he uses all those military euphemisms

Civic: (past and present organizations, charities involvement)
Vice President, Houston County Industrial Development Authority, 1980
Chair, Crockett Parks & Recreation Board, 1979-1980
Vice President, Houston County Chamber of Commerce, 1977-1980
Co-Founder, Houston County Volunteer Ambulance Service, 1976
Member, Dallas Energy Forum
Member, First United Methodist Church, Ennis, Texas.

Military: (branch, years of service, active duty experience, highest rank, medals, honors, discharge date and type)
None.

That is just so special.

do the people on the gulf realize this POS did not want them to be compensated for the gulf oil spill? HE DID NOT WANT YOU TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE OILS SPILL!!!! he’s fine with BP making huge profits and having no responsibility for the mess they caused. why is he still in office?

very funny it is to laugh

This is a fairly typical Repbulican metaphor – I may not have a big penis, but I have a big gun and it will go off like I wish my penis would. Look how macho I am! Big gun! Shoot anyone I disagree with! Take that, black man!

And for anyone to compare John Boehner to Dwight Eisenhower – OMG, that is just too funny!

If he’s not thrown in handcuffs and dragged to court it just proves that if you have enough money you can get away with any crime. Threatening to assassinate the President is something the Secret Service should take seriously, especially when it comes from our political leaders.

You write like a 7 y/o.

Nixon committed political suicide all by himself. The whole country rejoiced when he left office.

President Obama needs to declare Martial law, arrest and put these crazies in jail. America will not survive this onslaught against its own office of the Presidency. How can it. Not one moment will be directed to helping America and everything will be directed to pulling her down. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Ah yes! The Nais come out of the wood work, the Racist party of NO is working overtime to prove if you aren’t WHITE and it better be their assumpption and perception of WHITE you are NOT AMERICAN.

Now is the time for the party of NO Racist, Nazis and Facist to start worrying, think about it you Bigoted BASTARDS a car rols up and something falls out or you get boxed in in traffic that right you RACIST,NAZI TRAITOR BIGGOTED PIGS most Americans are tired of your Anti American Racist crap just think how vulnerable you really are. Your position NO longer protectts you as you are a SELL OUT for Anti American corporations, and hell if a few of you PUKES fell to nthe wayside who would really care. Think about it you ANTI American Scum and Trash. myself I would consider it a HONER to put a Scum sucking Individual as you in a scope.

How do you criticise someone who is proud of his own ignorance and intransigence? He is the face of the republican new wave? He is a shill of BP and energy corporatists and more committed to power politics then working in the interest of the citizens and the country. He appears too ignorant to insult and certainly too arrogant to assume that reasoned argument could have a persuasive influence upon his “thinking”. We must endure this example of Texas simplicity and we must abide, but he is clearly a candidate for the short bus. Perhaps he is representative of the people who elected him, and that is more disturbing then a box full of rats in sneakers.

When rational argument is made irrelevant, all we are left with are humorous metaphors. They are the verbal equivalent of cream pies.

If a democrat had said that about bush when bush was our faux president, the rethugs would have strung up said democrat and set him on fire, with cheney lighting the match.

Holder and the DOJ are chickenshits and no investigation will be done. Instead they will lock up Joe Blow for smoking a joint.

Barton typifies the average mentality of your right leaning asshole.

can’t argue with a fool counseled by the princes of the air…

how do these crazy fucks get elected?

Always with the violence laced gun memes with repubs? Always talking about “in my scope..I will shoot it”…..”dont retreat..reload” …blah blah blah. Why do republicans have such an obsession with guns and violence? Seriously??

Absolutely a dangerous person.We should lock him away immediately and give him a psychiatric evaluation.

Low information voters and lots of dirty money

This would be great news if his opponent for the Chair had a grasp on reality.

John Shimkus (R – IL) , quoting Genesis, stated that there can be no global warming because God promised Noah he would not destroy the earth.

C’mon Republicans. What else ya got….

World Wrestling Entertainment: get a grip folks – there’s only one party playing you for fools!

Electroshock treatment with a few Tasers.

Not cool. Why would you want to be like him?

Fritz certainly can’t write.

And Barton is totally owned by Koch Industries. He’s the one who commissioned the plagiarized “Climate-gate” report from Koch-funded George Mason University.

Well, Texans…… what more can I say?
He also clearly knows that this kind of talk appeals to his base, otherwise he would change his tack.

FBI, he’s clear as day. Take him on and lock him up.

Little Joey wants to be General Patton when he grows up. That is just so special.

Dwight warned us of wingnuts like Barton, from of all places, Texas. This is exactly the type of Congressional representation he feared.

Is there something mentally the matter with politicians in Texas? I think they may possibly need some sort of mental screening before they take office … or join the hate groups who think like they do. I thought we had laws passed where the average citizen could not threaten to kill the President or our U.S. White House. Why is Texas and hate groups excluded from it?

Boehner is Ike?
Nope. Barton, Boehner and Cantor can be more accurately described as a modern version of Larry, Curley and Moe.

This remark is one of the coolest things I have heard online….well done.

I agree. Is there something mentally the matter with politicians in Texas? I think they may possibly need some sort of mental screening before they take office … or join the hate groups who think like they do. I thought we had laws passed where the average citizen could not threaten to kill the President or our U.S. White House. Why is Texas and hate groups excluded from it?

I wish I know….but I wish I knew more how to get him the hell out.

Not likely to be any consequences. Hope his act of terrorism gets him on the DHS’s no-fly list.

is that all you got

you stink like a dying old man

what about soros funded harvard university

No respect for the Presidency but infinite respect for big oil and big donors. Not only that, but how in the world are we ever going to convert our economy from fossil fuels to clean energy with bought-and-sold politician like Barton as Chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee?

You may like to hear for yourself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5yNZ1U37sE

Astounding.

The GOP has so totally brainwashed their voting base that when a two bit sell out congressman from Texas makes threats against the President of the United States they think of him as a patriot. Barton sounds just like that terrorist kid from Somalia not anything like a congressman.

I think someone put Rep. Joe Barton’s foot in his scope

Totally classless response. If you have something of substance to reply with, fine. This was a response worthy of a 5 year old mentality. Deal with FACTS. Insults are nothing but right wing childishness, adding NOTHING to the discussion. If you disagree, tell us WHY. Believe me, if all you want is an insult match, there are FAR more of us here than you, and we can dish it out with the best of them. We AREN’T congressional scum who have no ability to stand up for ourselves and fight back. Keep it up and you will find that out first hand. We can discuss anything you want, but if all you do is return insults, there is no point.

What a piece of excrement.

thank the late, great Ronnie Raygun. since he dissolved state run mental institutes the inmates have been running the asylum down there. Besides, Texas is like a whole other country. Heck, it is a whole other country.

that’s an insult to Larry, Curly and Moe. Well, maybe not to Curly Joe, but the others, and Shemp; it’s an insult to.

Do, please, be mindful of the fact that while Dwight Eisenhower considered himself from Kansas, he was actually born in Dennison, Texas. His family moved to Kansas while he was still very young. This mentality, the one where Joe Barton is right and everybody else is wrong, is not endemic to Texas. It is, however, precisely that to the modern GOP. Not only would Ike likely not survive in today’s GOP, he also likely would not seek their favor at all. Simply put, Barton, Boehner, Cantor, Mitch McConnell, are all part of the problem and in no way, shape, form or fashion part of anything resembling the solution.

Any ordinary citizen who circulated something like this would get a visit from the Secret Service and FBI but I guess members of Congress are exempt from laws governing threatson the President–if he is a Democrat. This dim-witted punk should be retired back to Texas and don’t expect any comments on his behavior from the other members of his sick party

Loser.

it’s a bit late for him to join; last I checked Barton helped found some of those hate groups. And those he didn’t his father and grandfather did.

They are suffering from “short dick” syndrome.

Oh, hell. The left has ONE billionaire, the right has DOZENS. The left has unions, the right has every large corporation in the freaking world, and well over $2 TRILLION to throw anywhere they want. Corporations outspend unions in ANY election by about 11 to one, and they don’t have to tell you about a fucking penny of it. Unions have to report every fucking penny spent.

Why you righties want to be run by corporations, whose ONLY goal is to make money, rather than by people elected to keep THOSE people honest, I will NEVER understand. You mean NOTHING to ANY corporation out there, whether you are a customer or an employee. You are nothing but an impediment to their profit. I will NEVER understand who you trust people you have NO control over as opposed to those you can remove from office.

You make NO sense to me at all. Never have, never will. You people have gone out of your way to destroy the ONLY thing standing between you and the unmitigated greed of the already too damned rich. Now that it’s totally ineffectual for your own protection, you are bitching because you’re at the mercy of big money and don’t seem to like it. But why are you CONSTANTLY fighting to improve IT’S lot in the world, and not your own? They aren’t going to do a freaking thing to help you, and you stand up to fight for THEM, not YOURSELVES.

You people are 100% batshit crazy. There really is no other explanation.

What more do I need?

go to an Assembly of God service in Barton’s district; you’ll see how.

What about it?

Until you come up with something of substance, don’t waste our time.

He is not literally calling for assasination because he has to leave some wiggle room for plausible deniability. The less intelligent among us may see it as just that (call for assasination) due to their ignorance about metaphorically speaking

Barton thinks people actually believe he’s a tough guy… He’s not a tough guy – he’s a toothless piece of texas garbage that ought to be standing a night-watch at the downtown houston ice skating rink between 10pm and 6am daily.. that may be at his intelligence level and would probably let him use his ‘tough guy’ act on the gangs that roam downtown houston with tech 9 machine pistols hunting for HIM !

This guy is clearly an A**HAT and needs to be treated that way… Expel him…

I wouldn’t need a scope to take out this treasonous asshole.

Really? A party doing everything in it’s power to destroy the country isn’t an issue? A party going out of it’s way to make everything in the country WORSE for the vast majority out of it’s own selfish political desires isn’t an issue? Sorry, but I think that essential treason IS an issue, and I think it should be getting front page coverage everywhere through out this whole country. In fact, every time a republican says anything like this, it should be on every paper and every news station. The repubs need to be called out for the treasonous, country destroying bastards they are. They are working AGAINST the people of this country at every chance. If that isn’t the very definition of treason I really don’t know what it would be. They are ACTIVELY doing their best to hurt us at every opportunity. Why ANYONE voted for these dirtbag motherfuckers is beyond me.

Mr Barton needs to be taken out and put into someone’s sights, and we will see if anyone pulls the trigger. I certainly hope so. Anyone who apologizes to the worst polluter in the history of the world deserves to be dragged on the pavement until there is nothing left but a stain. He’s already a stain on humanity.

he’s listed as methodist, but he gets heavy support from the assemblies of god people in Waxahatchie.

Who elects these crazy fuctards?

I hope this isn’t really your last post.

Typical republican. NO military service whatsoever, but the first to scream for using the military every time. No conscience, just a sick and twisted pathological love of money and power. Sick and twisted.

I’m not sure I agree with Raw’s version that this is a call for the assassination of the president, but it’s not far from it.

What it is, in no uncertain terms, is the direct call that the president is an enemy of the country that must be battled to destruction. This is the best summary of what’s going on with this. It’s worth a read. As long as we allow this to continue we are just as responsible. Make them own it!!!!!

Very true.

Absolutely! I’ve been saying this for some time. Give it a read, http://www.thefoldblog.com/2010/11/gop-rep-joe-barton-thinks-hes-waging.html

Absolutely! I’ve been saying this for some time. Give it a read, http://www.thefoldblog.com/2010/11/gop-rep-joe-barton-thinks-hes-waging.html

Were that a blogger, he’d be in prison by now.

You didn’t have to say “two-bit sellout” — you just had to say “Republican.”

Tase his nards, bro.

[...] I wouldn’t pull him out of traffic. [...]

The thing about his statement that drives me absolutely crazy is that he completely IGNORES the final part of that quote, which is that God said he would never AGAIN destroy the world with water, the next time it would be with fire. God NEVER promises to not destroy the world, in fact, he THREATENS to do so with a WORSE element the next time. This moron can’t even quote the very book he CLAIMS to live his life by. Truth is that he has NO clue of what the book says, any more than any OTHER rightie does. They just like to beat people over the head with it. Makes the inferior FEEL superior.

Anyone that makes a death threat against the President of the United States should be arrested. He did, and the FBI should do their job and arrest him .It is rule of law plain and simple.

HE NEES TO BE HUNG FOR TREASON AND THREATENING THE LIFE OF A PRESIDENT.WHERE IS THE JUSTICE???…TYPICAL RETHUG ACTIONS.

You are so wrong about one thing: It IS endemic to Texas that they’re right and everyone else is wrong.

Texas is the ultimate in the expression of American exceptionalism. It’s the biggest of the contiguous states, so that incontrovertibly makes it the best.

Texans repeat endlessly that Texas is the only state that was once a country. (As an aside, they insist, almost to a person, that when Texas joined the union they alone reserved the right to secede if they desire to. While this is a fiction, they almost universally believe it.)

People in Texas endlessly pose as cowboys, even those who never lived on a ranch and were never on a horse in their lives and neither were their ancestors. One clue to this is that more Texans drive pickup trucks than drivers in any other state. (It’s so they can pretend to be macho while hauling nonexistent feed for their nonexistent stock.)

And don’t worry about the bad gas mileage, they have plenty of gas. They endlessly congratulate themselves about Texas’ oil and gas wealth. Granted, it’s been a key factor in keeping the state from severe recession, but they act as if they were particularly savvy to have set it up that way. In fact, they pat themselves on the back about how savvy they are in business all the time. (If every state was as smart as Texas is and paid their workers not much more than minimum wage with no benefits, no one would be mired in recession, I guess.)

I could go on and on. The soaring high school dropout rate in Texas. The fundamentalist Christians in charge of the textbooks. The high teen pregnancy rate. The pride in ignorance.

Perhaps your main point should be that it’s possible Dwight D. Eisenhower got out in time not to be infected with the Texas virus.

This pant load is just like the rest of the Republican short dicks. He won’t shoot at anything resembling a real man! Tell this prissy taint -mouth to bring his little gun over here to the SW side of DC, and threaten to shoot a real man! We would be glad to rearrange his chittlins for him!

Why is it a retired cop is arrested for making a wish list thought but this piece of garbage can make a meaningful threat and not be arrested? Is it because political rank has its privileges?

Why isn’t the Secret Service dragging him in and investigating and questioning that idiot?

I’d like to know how is it that he’s not locked up in a rubber room?

Putting Barton at the head of this commission is like putting BP in charge.

I hope those who said voting doesn’t matter are paying attention. When the repubs get done, we will be a theocracy run by corporations. We will be forced to be repub Christians, but not true Christians. For those who do not subscribe to a religion, good luck. I can see you being sent to camps to make you change your mind.

Repubs control everything, that’s why.

Not if you are a repub. They control everything.

Not if you are a repub. They control everything.

You left out my favorite thing about Texas: http://www.texastribune.org/texas-education/public-education/texans-dinosaurs-humans-walked-the-earth-at-same/

>> • 38 percent said human beings developed over millions of years with God guiding the process and another 12 percent said that development happened without God having any part of the process. Another 38 percent agreed with the statement “God created human beings pretty much in their present form about 10,000 years ago.”

• Asked about the origin and development of life on earth without injecting humans into the discussion, and 53 percent said it evolved over time, “with a guiding hand from God.” They were joined by 15 percent who agreed on the evolution part, but “with no guidance from God.” About a fifth — 22 percent — said life has existed in its present form since the beginning of time.

• Most of the Texans in the survey — 51 percent — disagree with the statement, “human beings, as we know them today, developed from earlier species of animals.” Thirty-five percent agreed with that statement, and 15 percent said they don’t know.

• Did humans live at the same time as the dinosaurs? Three in ten Texas voters agree with that statement; 41 percent disagree, and 30 percent don’t know.

Why would this guy want to get rid of the greatest republican president since … Bill Clinton? Tellya the truth though, I kind of wish there were 50 democrats like this guy (You know, that at least had SOME sort of conviction but with progressive priorities). Then maybe we could stop the wars, put a few war criminals in jail and get the economy rolling green.

Wow…just wow. Thanks to this nuetered pud Obama, the lamest, most chickenshit president of modern times, there is a decent chance that this Palin lady will;be elected…and if not her, somebody who is just as bad.
It is time to formulate an escape plan folks.

in my opinion it is fully the intent of the Republicans to have powerful corporations running our Congress. It will be interesting to see in 2012 if the American people have woken up again. Will they be able to vote the Republicans out of office? Will they be allowed to vote the Republicans out of office due to the vast amount of money the corporations are going to throw at the US citizens. The Roberts Supreme Court opened the way for corporations to own our Congress. The Republicans want to weaken the federal government to make it easier for the corporations to take over was the ultimate influence in the direction of this country using the Republicans as a shield

http://joebarton.house.gov/Default.aspx Time to light that motherfucker up

Obama ain’t doing shit. He’s gonna just hide in the whithouse, come out every now and then and give speech about how progressive he is and then appoint a bunch of republicans to cram it up our asses.

I cry for my country. I am scared for my President and Mr. Barton is a perfect example of the reason I am a Democrat. America’s hate and intolerance will be its downfall, not people of Muslim faith or color other than white. It is people like this retched Mr. Barton who will bring America down. Shame on this man, and shame on those in power who tolerate this hated and allow this to continue. I call for Mr. Barton to be censured and if possible dismissed from the Halls of Congress.

geezuz raw, do you really think we’d fall for “he’s going to shoot Obama” ?

My God, These people really are nuts. That little fucker looks like my gay grandpa and sounds like Droopy Dog. His most recognizable moment is when he licked BP’s butt crack for the entire world to see, now he wants people to believe he is General Patton?

I love how with all the “This President will fail” rhetoric from the Right (all easily documented), that it’s still Obama’s fault he can’t get anything done.

I will agree that the quest for bipartisanship is slightly easier than finding a unicorn and should have been abandoned long ago, but your bilious expulsion is really out of whack with the facts. You want to be pissed off, be pissed off about the minority abuse of the filibuster. Be pissed off that they’ve said in public they want the man to fail. Liberals never did that when Bush was President. We wanted answers, and he had the support of the entire nation that he abused after 9/11, but somehow Obama is much, much worse.

It’s ridiculous.

The man was handed 80lbs of shit in a 5lb bag and was expected to work miracles after running as on overly-0optimistic centrist.

There are two mistakes he made domestically, the Afghanistan surge is another matter. He should have focused on jobs first instead of healthcare (though he rightly believes our healthcare issues are directly tied to our economy), and he believes that the Republicans care about something other than a permanent Right Wing majority. I’d like to think that second part were true, but all they care about is power.

Yep, and Shimkus is also the guy who walked out on President Obama’s State of the Union.

http://www.thefoldblog.com/2010/01/shimkus-response-disgraceful.html

Arrest Barton, charge him with treason, period. Oh, that’s right, we have limpy Obama in the White House, nothing will be done about this, because we still want to be friends with these traitors to the US Constitution.

Hurry up Obama! Rush to the “middle” and try to appease this man. Don’t worry about alienating your base.

It’s been working for you so far. (sic)

How dare he tarnish the names and images of these great men with his comparisons to Boehner, Cantor and himself. Between the three of them the only military service is Boehner’s eight weeks in the Navy, after which he was discharged for being medically unfit.

Hey, whize guy…I resemble dat remark!
Nyuck nyuck nyuck….

I can’t decide the most unsettling aspect of Shimkus…

Is it that he really believes the Bible literally? That he quotes metaphors as fact without embarrassment? That he was elected to high office?
Or that the Republicans would put him in a position of immense power?

‘Put anything in my scope and I will shoot it,’

Mothers with babies, toddlers, etc. Brilliant philosophy from a pussy that avoided Viet Nam and would drop his rifle, shit his pants and run crying for mommy at the first shot his way.

Patton? No! . . . Sgt. Schultz? Yes, definitely.
After all Patton never apologized to Hitler,

Bro Obama was elected basically by a LANDSLIDE, he had millions of people screaming for him, mobilized for him, literally in the streets; majorities, huge majorities, in both houses and what did he do …NOTHING. Well except immediatley cave on any kind of single payer and the even public option health insurance, turning over the entire nations health insurance to huge corporations. Because everytime, anytime somebody whispered fillibuster he would piss his fucking pants and RUN..

Bush was elected…no stole the elecrions cuzz he COULD NOT EVEN GET A MAJORITY of people to vote for him, he had people throwing shit at him during his inaguarals, never had majorities in both houses and…HE DID WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTED.

What can I say …you figure it out.

The military only permits drunks if they are generals or admirals.

Charge him with threatening the president and put this BP apologist behind bars!

Mr. Barton, crazy old coot from Texas.. former oil CEO, and present recipient of $1.4 million in “donations” from Anadarko Petroleum, (that just happens to be one of the four parties held responsible for the Deepwater Horizon disaster)…….here’s something you should consider…..General (President) Eisenhower…FIRED Patton because he was bat-crap crazy

Eisenhower, Bradley and Patton would not pass muster to belong to the present GOP. Maybe if we pick up the legal fees we could get Texass to secede from the union.

This guy is such a clown that it would be better if he were made chairman. It would make it all the more likely that we regain the House in 2012

Make that final leap….! a Corporate run Government…a Government run by Corporations and who also hate “regulations” that protect the citizens from the abuses of Corporations, are determined to destroy the “trade Unions”, minorities, all other religions except Christianity, and the most vulnerable of society (social security recipients,social programs,etc.,) as the GOP has vowed to do..is exactly how Hitler and his Nazis became the “rulers” of Germany… yet, in the U.S….the parallels, the past lessons learned and the facts, are being completely denied and ignored in this country…”It can’t happen here..!” (But it is happening here…! take a good, clear-eyed look around you)

If Patton, Bradley or Ike were alive today, they’d take Barton out to the woodshed and beat the ever-lovin anti-American shit outta him!
Ike would be so appalled at what the Rethugs have metamorphosed into, he’d disavow a fool such as Barton before 7 a.m., Day 1!

My sympathies to the 99′rs, but do they think that by staying home and not voting…..that they really taught the Democrats a thing or two….? they won’t get ANY extensions, now…not, from the GOP ….not a chance…hope they are real proud of themselves……

Pretty good military slideshow coming from a little coward thart never served.

No not the repubs, exactly…..the Chamber of Commerce who represent nineteen of the worlds largest International Corporations own the GOP and the GOP does their bidding…even the Supreme Court protects those mega Corporate interests…Citizens United was the last hurdle…and that has been removed by the right-wing “Federalists” Corporate activists on the Supreme Court…if this country is stupid enough to not vote again, “in protest” come 2012……you will see even more far right-wing Justices on the Supreme Court….nominated and confirmed by the crazy far-right Teabaggers who want to shred the Constitution (the parts they don’t like!) and openly appoint bat-crap crazy Corporate CEOs (Tony Hayward, Koch Brothers, Thomas Donohue, maybe even Sarah Palin, Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh or Pat Robertson, etc.) directly to the Congress…just skip the election process…

Yes.

And yet, the idea of being a party of nothing but no, that’s OK? When are these people going to stop acting like 6 year old children and DO THE JOB they were hired to do? The flaw in your logic is that the entire right-wing has one desire; give the rich everything and let 90% of this country starve off and die. That’s not the intent of our Government, that’s not how our leadership is supposed to behave in a Republic or under the mandates of our Constitution.

There is a class war going on.. and anyone not making over $500,000 a year that votes Republican is _truly_ ignorant AND stupid and contributing to the destruction of our species and foisting massive misery onto the world. All this bullshit about “but teh gays! and abortions! I must protest! even if it DESTROYS ME!”.. simple simon motherfuckers too stupid to exist.

I hope he’s a good shot!

I think the whole election should be thrown out and redone. We shouldn’t have to wait for two years. I can’t even begin to imagine what tragedies are going to befall this country in the next two years. This should be considered an act of treason, along with all the reps who were elected to serve the people and the country and are doing anything but. People who have been out of work because they lost their job, are losing their home, and their healthcare and are being kicked to the curb, with no money coming in to feed their family. Our national security is being threatened because the reps refuse to sign the START treaty.Why isn’t anything being done to correct this outrage.

CPKDOC>..

You , sir, are a traitor….

What an odious, odious creature this … “person” is. Good lord, what the hell is wrong with the Republicans that they actually have people in their LEADERSHIP willing to circulate such crap? It’s their promotion of this kind of extremist thinking and ideological intransigence that’s selling this country down the river. Repulsive.

d) all of the above.

Barton’s careless and violent rhetoric shows exactly why the Republicans are unsuited for positions of political power. The Democrats may be weak willed and spineless, but they aren’t, for the most part, clinically insane.

I’m pretty sure he uses the KJV. I do love that the homophobes who quote this version either don’t know, or deny, that good ole King James was very… um, to use the popular term… gay.

The name of the president and “shoot” should not be used in the same sentence or paragraph. It’s inappropriate and disrespectful, and it might be all the encouragement some nut would need to assassinate our president. After all, if a high-ranking, elected official can suggest such action, the nut may extrapolate that it’s okay to do so.

What a pathetic weirdo and no wonder the GOP are clueless with idiots like him in their party! Angry old white guys, mostly!

[...] I want to be George Patton – put anything in my scope and I will shoot it.”(Via Powerful Republican suggests to colleagues he’d shoot at Obama | Raw Story.)I’m guessing that the slide he cut out is the one with President Obama and a Nazi Swastika [...]

If this is what they say. What they think must be worse.

This just proves the right wing can say and do anything they want and get away with it. There are two sets of laws in the US now: one for the right wing (particularly the rich) and one for everybody else.

I hope you get in the way.

The truth was out there. All it took was a little looking beyond the right wing noise machine, but American voters were just too damned lazy to bother. Elections have consequences.

Did Barton ever get around to apologizing to the banks for the outrage people felt over damage the banks did to our economy?

Look at a map of the sixth district of Texas. It’s a horribly gerrymandered creation of Tom DeLay and his criminal accomplices.

That said, this congress sounds more like The American Liberty League and it’s plots to usurp the government by force and violence from President Roosevelt and put Al Smith into the White House. He lost in 1928 and a coup looked good to him. Such jerks!

Party of NO!
When does America come first?

It’ll never happen. In today’s political climate, Republicans can do no wrong.

In times of war, laws are silent!
Don’t think, don’t listen, don’t read, just vote republican!

> put anything in my scope and I will shoot it.
another shoot-from-the-hip dangerous, brainless cowboy. How do we elect so many idiots?

Crazy fucktards….!

My mother always used to say that you can tell a gay man by his eyebrows….did anyone check out whether Barton may be hanging out in a closet or two?

Another brain-dead a-hole from Texas. Can someone tell me again why we stole Texas from Mexico? Oh yeah, slavery was ILLEGAL in Mexico . . . .

Google “scumbag” and you get a picture of Joe Barton. Cool.

Being from Texas, Joe Barton is just as much as an embarrassment to Texas as George W. Bush was (and, sigh, still is) and Gov. Rick Perry was (and, sigh, still is).

Cheery fellow, then, was he? I’ve frequently found that gays were far more intellectual than many straights, and it doesn’t surprise me to think that a king who took on a great intellectual task would be. Most straights don’t have the curiosity to ask, they just follow. Case in point, W. Can’t really say much more to that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the republicans try to overtake the White house in a coup in the next two years. They control the media and the sheeple sit on their couches and loungers with remotes brainwashed by right wing media to think and vote against their best interests. They will fight for tax cuts for the rich but will not for unemployment benefits for their fellow Americans. The Americans are being dumbed down and we’re powerless to do anything about it. So this cretin can say this and no one will attack him. If someone did this to bush they would be in Gitmo.

Come on Rawstory give us a break. You don’t have to be on a committee to take a shot at Obama, but you do to shoot down his crazy energy tax bill’s.

How about paying some attention to the millions of Americans who are suffering and work toward solving some of our problems as a country instead of playing extreme partisan politics? And if he’s threatening to shoot the President the secret service should detain and question him as it would any other person uttering such bullshit.

Have Boehner, Cantor or Barton ever served in the military? Didn’t think so…

Maybe not Gitmo but one of those proliferatiing ICE concentration camps.

If you or I said anything remotely similar to what Joe Barton stated about POTUS Obama being in his rifle scope, we would have the Secret Service jump on us like fly’s on shit.

My gay friends are certainly more cerebral than the average Tea Bagger. That holds for my atheist friends too. Well, my particular set of Christian friends too. Yes, there really are broadminded Christians in the world. It’s not easy to be so in the middle of all the nuttery but we do try.

It we be a great service to the nation if the names and home addresses of all the plutocrati­c sleazeball­s, their robber barons, Wall Street bankers and every DC lobbyist becomes available.
They need to live in personal ongoing fear of what can be done to them as a consequenc­e of what they have done to ruin the lives of the populace.

I do know a few, but they are few and far between. I have an uncle and aunt who were missionaries for decades, and they are the most open, honest, loving, least judgmental people you will ever meet. Maybe living in Africa for 4 decades taught them what is REALLY important.

The funny thing is that if you read the words of Christ, there is nothing in there about persecuting anyone, hating anyone, not sharing with people, killing anyone, or ridiculing anyone. But yet, what do our “Christians” do? All of the above. They ignore the message to love one another, they ignore that Christ never said a word about gays, abortion, weed, or any number of other “sins”. They instead go running to Leviticus and other things that don’t deal with Christian law at all, but ancient Jewish law as an excuse to hate people. They understand NOTHING of their supposed beloved book.

I will NEVER understand that.

Phony warspeak and allusions to violence are the language of underdeveloped pre-pubescent boys…ie: most of the GOP. If they had real c*cks of their own, they’d have the confidence to speak like grown ups about grown up topics…but the need to play these little swaggering games and play pretend-heroes is just another reflection of the deep immaturity, both sexual and non-sexual, which plagues conservatism. Infantile fantasies and childlike delusions are their stock in trade…which is why so many of their themes and stances are without nuance or even clarity…and its also why the same sells so well to underdeveloped minds across the nation.

Barton’s Patton schtick fits in perfectly with the southern republican picture of Obama:

“Individually they were good soldiers, but I expressed my belief at the time, and have never found the necessity of changing it, that a colored soldier cannot think fast enough to fight in armor.”

I don’t understand it either. They give every evidence that they haven’t really read the book with which they enjoy beating you about the head and shoulders. It seems to me that many, if not most, who claim to be Christian are really Paulinists or CINOs. They run to Leviticus and select what suits them and then they ignore the rest. The “love God and love your neighbor as yourself “is pushed to the side to be trotted out on convenient, showy occasions. Then there is that pesky “least of these” verse. Damn but that’s intrusive.

Congrats on having such a broad minded aunt and uncle. Most of the old-style were. Many of the new ones in certain southern denominations–not so much.

The rwnj’s won’t see this in the MSM, just like they didn’t see Limbaugh telling Obama to take his daughter to the airport so she could be groped and when Fox Nation ran an Onion article last Friday and posed it as being real.

And the freak nipplewrench below is asking for a break. If those freak rwnj’s knew what was really going on they wouldn’t need any vapor-rub to make them cry.

This miserable miscreant, and those idiots who follow him in Texas are disgusting examples of ‘Americans’ I wish Texas would leave the country, I really do . They should all eat that sea food from the gulf and have their families swim in it.

If poor people have been indicted for making such threats, why not this man?

WHY IS HE NOT IN CUSTODY OF HOMELAND SECURITY?

WHY HE IS NOT DECLARED THREAT TO PRESIDENT AND TAKEN OFF THE STREETS?

Is FBI and home land security to harras ordinary and poor people only?

Since 2001 when the Bush tax cuts were enacted the redistribution of wealth has been from the poor and the middle class to the wealthy.

The heartbreaking part is that the poor and middle class conservatives jump on any bandwagon against Obama because they don’t care to learn and because they believe everything they hear on Fox. Are we supposed to believe that the poor and middle class rednecks are all making over $250,000 a year? None of then are receiving SSI or SSDI and that none of them receive food stamps or childrens aid?

All the stupids came out after President Obama as elected, that is it in a nutshell for these politics-R-Us rookies.

Leviticus Shmeviticus.

Look no further than the ten commandments and consider behavior of Politicians.

Their favorite sins are these two:

FOUR: ‘Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.’

Ever watch the Sunday political talks shows? Trashing your rivals on the Sabbath is surely against God.

NINE: ‘You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.’

“People say Obama is a Nazi!! They also say he’s not born here!! I’m not saying that, but many people do….”

The language suggests that he’d LIKE to shoot Obama. We used to mock Bush, but we never used language like this. Conservatives are pathetic losers with delusions of adequacy.

When the Secret Service appears at your trailer door you better have some damn good coffee for them.

Another genius elected by the stupid robots people of Texas. Boy, this is getting repetitive.

And that is in my opinion what is wrong with this country… The examples being set by our supposed leaders are being mimicked by what is being called “low information” voters hence blatant racism and bigotry. They are so blinded by any semblance of power that the destruction they have and will cause in inconsequential to them. Those poor people that voted for these imbeciles will be hurt by the policies and laws they reign over and then they will blame someone else, that someone else will be whom ever they are told to blame in the next election cycle. Ranting? I know. Alas, I hope someone is listening.

Barton is a first class a$$… and someone in Texas ought to make certain he has a worthy opponent next election cycle.

There is, for good reason, a broad scope when judging political dialogue, granting more leeway than your or I would enjoy. That said, it’s up to Congress to call out behavior unacceptable for a Legislator. Does the Republican House Leadership believe that Barton’s remarks are fitting? We’ll see.

FLAT OUT TREASON! ARREST THAT SHIT

Look at the top of the slide. Is it an “accident” that the word Obama is over a black silhouette with furtive posture? Especially when compared to the upright and tighty-white generals?

What is currently at the top of my list are those people who insist that Christianity has been “feminized” with all that “love your neighbor” stuff. They actually believe that Christ was a war mongering asshole who went around telling economic parables as his main thing. The entire “take care of those less fortunate than you” idea is just communistic drivel to these people, regardless of the fact that this is what the content of Christ’s teachings has always been.

The thing is that these people DON’T read it. Half the time I suspect that they make it up, because they are preaching things that go 100% against the teachings of he who they claim to follow. The previously mentioned group is one of those sets of people. Funny thing is that if they really would read the book, they would find out that they are EXACTLY who Christ warned against listening to.

And isn’t it ironic that we use the birth of the man who said to sell everything you have as an excuse to be as materialistic as you can be? We really do live in opposite land, don’t we?

Freedom of speech, my ass. This is treason, indeed…

With the redistricting they did some years ago, they’ve pretty much assured only a republican can win, so unless another republican can unseat him the circle of life will go on.

Complete disrespect, it would cause a riot if it was said by a Dem regarding a Repub pres.

Can’t you just feel the spirit of bi-partisanship in the air?

Trouble is (and God knows I hope I am all wrong), that is the way they see it in Texas!
I have always said; “there is the south, and then there is the rest of the country”.
Am I wrong??

You demorats just don’t get it do you? He said put “anything” not “anybody” in my sights. We agree – we do not want more obamatics. Barton has the gon__ds to say it inside the beltway. Live with it.

Of course they do!! Anything that is against Obama is fine with them!!

Texans do! Nuff said.

They already had Mexicans so didn’t think any more slavery was necessary. LOL ;)

He’d probably shoot himself or a friend of his in the face like that other old a-hole Republican Dick Cheney. Here’s hoping that you’re one of his friends!!!

THAT IS a really good question that certinly deserves an answer, but that won’t happen until enough people get pissed and become a large enough group to actually FORCE an answer.

Grumpy Old Putzes!

He probably would. This is the answer to much of what the GOP philosophy is. Hatred, violence, discord, selfishness and corporate ownership of the individual and the country. They love the constitution but much of what they do is against what it was intended to do. “To form a more perfect union, establish justice, INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY, provide for the common defense, PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE, for ourselves and our posterity, Do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.
Now they have set themselves up to destroy the Presidency of someone they hate. And they will ruin the country in the process. So focused are they to deny any and all solutions, just so this man gets no credit for anything, that they announce daily they will have no compromise of any kind. This is the first time in memory when a party, has said they want a President to fail.

We have invited the wolf into our homes via the elections. The next two years will give all of us the time to regret. Especially the constitution loving tea party. We have been and will continue to be royally screwed!!!!

This insanity is Obama’s making. Taking a bipartisan approach with these people is like coupling with Satan himself. They are bereft of any reason or grace, they thrive on famine, natural catastrophe of all colors and kinds, scarcity is their watchword and terror their constant companion, they are the inventors of more different types of corruption and misguided chicanery than any of their counterparties at the Kremlin or Beijing. They make the Ugly American palpable and real with every media appearance. These are who Obama cow tows to and one can barely imagine the Faustian bargain he has struck.

Barton has the “gonads” to fellate the CEO of BP on the floor of the House of Representatives, during session, with the cameras rolling.
Barton is more like Field Marshall Keitel than Patton, anyway.

Actually, Eisenhower looks unnaturally orange in that slide.
Coincidence?

The only thing I don’t agree with is that the corporations will throw money at the people.
They will throw commercials at us for sure, and I hope to hell people realize they can not EAT commercials!
Maybe if poor and middle class idiots would quit voting against their own best interest?
Come one ladies and gentlemen! Grow a BRAIN!!

It seems that they are all above the law. The law only applies to us, the average, everyday American! If I had made that comment, I would be a long time waiting to see daylight again!!

Wouldn’t matter. He would just borrow a Learjet from some CEO!

And what Obama administration policy do you want to repeal Dude?

His Afghanistan policy?
His Iraq policy?
His soft regulation of Wall St.
His credit card users bill of rights?
His Airline Passengers bill of rights?

Oh yeah I almost forgot it’s really Obamacare that you want to repeal.

But do you really want to kick the 26 and under crowd off mom & dad’s insurance policy?

Do you want to repeal the prohibition against denying coverage for preexisting conditions?

How about the small employer tax credit?

If you’re honest it’s probably the subsidies that go to the poor to buy coverage. You would rather the uninsured continue to jack up everybody else premiums than have the govt. be involved in any way.

I know the “mandate” that really gets your panties in a bunch too but do you know who asked for the mandate? Do you? It was the very insurance companies that are going to be given 35 million new policy holders. So I suggest you have a conversation with your donor base before getting too carried away with killing the mandate.

And OBTW the law has an out provision if the courts find the mandate unconstitutional.

Lastly, just what are you going to do to get the economy moving again? Cutting unemployment benefits actually slows the economy down so let’s scratch that “genius”.
And those tax cuts for the rich….they slow the economy down too.

America is sitting on the edge of their couches WAITING for the next big idea from the GOP.

More like Colonel Klink.

And that is why Tom Delay’s conviction is sooooo important. If he would not have been allowed to launder that money the Texas house would have remained in Democratic hands and the redistricting would not have occurred and the US congress would have at least 4 more Democrats today.
Given the damage that Delay’s action caused I hope he gets life but more realistically he will get the 7 year minimum and with time off for good behavior he’ll probably be out in 5.

I wouldn’t just shoot AT Barton…

Want an even scarier thought. I have a sneaking feeling that Governor “I’m ready for my close up” Rick Perry will be a front runner for the Repugnants in 2012. Given the electoral importance of Texas it would be a more logical choice that any of the current GOP front runners.

If one of us dead peasants ever dared something like that, we’d have the SS with guns to our heads in seconds flat. But one of these jokers says it and he just becomes a instant hero worshiped by millions of other equally-hateful morons.

Now that would be a Wikkileak with real value to everyday Americans!

NW do you know what party first proposed and passed polution control tax credits in the 90′s?

Didn’t think so

You conservaturds don’t get it, do you? We do not want any more of your regressive policies. This country has to go forward not backward! Barton is only one of your morons. Live with it!

Those three would call out all of the current leadership of the GOP for unAmerican words and actions. Patton would have Barton shot for speaking of an American President in these terms.

Hitler and what he stood for was REAL to them and they would have not found any humor in these careless comparrisons!.

Patton would have Barton shot for speaking of an American President in these terms.

Hitler and what he stood for was REAL to him and he would not have found any humor in these careless comparrisons!.

Why isn’t his fat pasty racist azz in jail?

Texas should secede! We don’t need it. Most of the people there are morons, anyway!

I live here and wish to God I could move somewhere else – good hair Perry beat the intelligent thinking Bill White – go figure. TX has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates as well as high teen drop out rate in the nation and retired teachers haven’t had a raise in over 10 yrs. and most voted for good hair. Go figure. Another point, we have executed more innocent people in our prison system than any other state before discovering through DNA that they never committed the crime for which they were accused.

If this President were white, NONE of this would be tolerated!!

Shut up you right wing filth!

And most in Texas= Big truck to make up for an anatomical shortcomings?!? ;)

This is absolutely disgusting to me, and I am sure it is to millions of others, not only Democrats like me, but surely there are Republicans who would look down at this insanity of our country…..at least that is what I would presume, but the more I have heard about this “Loose Cannon”, the more I believe that this whole damned group of people should be arrested and put in jail quickly… We simply do not need this obnoxious and insane behavior from our so called “countrymen”. these are NOT “real” men but “teens” bent on killing someone who has done his level best to increase our standing in our world.!!……absolutely disgusting…… .

Hahahahahahahahahahaa !!!! :0

No one would need a scope for his big FAT ass!

right, because making sweeping generalized statements about a certain group of people in no way makes you sound ignorant.

- signed Texas liberal who, along with several others, voted for Obama.

Well done, voters, you freaking idiots.

Right, they went quite easy on Clinton (eyeroll).

The rethugs have put the ku klux klan and birch society back into power.

You don’t need an apostrophe to pluralize bills.

Wait, where was the part where a republican calls for the assassination of Obama? Oh yeah, that’s nowhere in the article. Way to take one part and take it way out of context. Poor choice of words by the guy, sure, but he is using a metaphor to oppose the administration’s policies. Very irresponsible journalism.

I think it’s hilarious. Amerika has become a country that’s totally out of control and run by insane people. It’s no wonder more than 4 million Americans have left it in the last 8 years, and I’m one of them.

But….it’s not surprising. Dying countries usually do end up going totally insane before they implode. Look at Rome.

But heads up Amerika. The rest of the world is laughing at you. We all think you’re nutcases!

Let’s hope he gets in someone else’s scope today.

Such an irresponsible statement by a “lawmaker” makes it seem that the only job for which he qualifies is that of dog catcher. republicans obviously do not think before they speak, and statements of this nature make the world loose respect for us as Americans. Vile, hateful, venomous, and threatening language is a reflection of character and of a depraved mind. Slimeball is too good a name for this man. He wears his personal biases and hatred on both sleeves. Disgusting.

Whenever i read violent hateful Republican quotes i always think of some of the most sophisticated Germans of the 1930-40s.
“Whenever I hear the word culture, I reach for my Browning!”
“Education is dangerous. Every educated person is a future enemy.”
…Hermann Goering

Senile old fart.

Senile old fart.

As much as they hated Clinton, I don’t recall them making these types of thinly veiled threats or calls for violence. Scumbags.

No, they don’t read it. If they were capable of critical thinking they would realize that Jesus was–GASP!!–a RADICAL LIBERAL. Can’t have that in their conservative little (read: narrow, or more likely, closed, minded) world.

Don’t forget the furor over “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.” What does “merry” have to do with the Mass of Christ anyway? Jesus was born in a barn, likely not much more than a lean-to, certainly smelling of animal shit, so people can have tacky, gaudy lights and decorations and shopping orgies? I don’t think so. Opposite land indeed.

Indeed

The reason they keep saying this crazy s*it is because the “craiziest s*it comment of the day” goes to the top of the news pile. So the daily objective of the dumbass republicans is to think up some crazy s*it to say; knowing that RawStory and all the rest of the lazyass press will send it to the top of the pile! Check out your own site!

In case anyone has forgotten, this is the man that apologized to BP for our making them pay for the clean up. He speaks for the GOP. This is who and what they are.

Another terrorist from Texas. I doubt this guy could hit a barn door if the muzzle of his gun rested against it. He should be forced to join the military and do KP for the rest of his life. Friends, our taxes pay the salary of this dumb cluck.

This man is a terrorist, this man is despicable & a pig.He has to go! And this is the kind of people looking out for the interest of Texas?, what a shame.

Boehner:Eisenhower as Palin:Mother Theresa!

What has Boehner done for this country that makes him a noteworthy government official? Nothing! He paints himself as an average, middle-class American, working for the rest of us middle-class Americans when he really is a pretentious, self-righteous, greedy Corporate sell-out who could care less about anyone or anything but protecting the wealthy.

Eisenhower, on the other hand, is one of the greatest presidents America ever had. (and let me note that I’m a Democrat saying this about a Republican president.) He pushed for the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and 1960; signed the Fish and Wildlife Act; signed the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1958; signed the Continuing School Construction Aid Bill, which helps schools in low income districts; improved Social Security and Public Healthcare; etc. Plus, what I think is one of the greatest presidential speeches of all time, he warned us all about the dangers of the Military Industrial Complex.

Oh, and Eisenhower didn’t battle against Truman to take over his administration as Barton is suggesting Boehner should do. This man is repulsive and anyone who thinks what he says is appropriate should stop and think about what he is implying. That, or they’re just as insane as Barton is.

Thanks, Kiley. This Texas liberal Democrat voted for Obama, as well, but along with her liberal Democratic fellow Texans, she’s not real happy about Obama knuckling under to the Rethugs in the guise of bipartisanship. Yes, that’s right, there are plenty of Texas libs who are more liberal than you, Ylangyland, so shut it.

And one last thing: If you think that Soros is the ONLY person giving to Harvard, you really are a freaking loon. Harvard has been around since the 18th century, you think Soros is responsible for that?

I stand by my previous assessment, you people are freaking nuts.

That is why Texas is removing all mention of Thomas Jefferson from their textbooks. It’s a real bitch to explain to children how your “conservative” country was founded by a liberal and his liberal friends.

It’s funny, if you know the real history of Christmas in modern society. It’s really not a terribly Christian thing for LOTS of the last several hundred years. In fact, the term “merry” involved drunkenness and rather nasty behavior. It’s really not something that has always meant “being of good cheer”. Christmas was frequently a more dangerous than joyous time in past times. During our modern times, in fact, crime goes way up during this time of year, everything from pick pocketing to home invasion to large scale charity fraud. But it’s only been in the last hundred years or a little more, that we look at it as being a family holiday much at all. Santa Clause wasn’t a big thing in it until Coke started their printed advertising showing him being a fat, jolly old guy. Most pics before that were far from that vision.

Typical of righties, O’Really and his “war on Christmas” bullshit are based in a non reality: the world he supposedly grew up in. His mistake is to realize that he was looking at the world through they eyes of a child, and he is no longer one, at least physically. He felt all safe then, even though the world of adults was going through WWII and then Korea and McCarthy during that time. The adult world was just as scary and cynical for that time as ours is now. Kids don’t see that, and when they are too old to ignore it any longer, they have to grow up and live with it. It’s part of being an adult. But they seem to think that some kind of a political jab at someone else and inflaming others will make them feel safe and warm again.

What a bunch of fools.

When a Republican is president you will get arrested for wearing a T-shirt with a dissenting slogan at a political event. When a Democrat is in office you you won’t get arrested for wearing a dissenting gun at a political event. FACT.

and the beat goes on….

damn right, you know if it was a dem that did something like that people would be all over them. Fucking double standard

[...] http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/p…esident-obama/ Powerful Republican suggests to colleagues he’d shoot at Obama [...]

The conservatives are getting very bold with their hate mongering and brown shirt rhetoric. Remember the call on NewsMax for a Honduran style military coup? Remember the christian conservatives urging their flock to pray for Obama’s death? Remember how death threats against Obama are 4 times as great as they were for Bush?

Fear, anger, and hate, it’s all the right has in it’s arsenal.

“Poor choice of words…” Tell that to the FBI, Joe. “Speaker Boehner is our Dwight Eisenhower in the battle against the Obama Administration. Majority Leader Cantor is our Omar Bradley. I want to be George Patton – put anything in my scope and I will shoot it.”
Poor choice of words; Joe didn’t mean anything by that statement. But perhaps the sad irony of it all is that by today’s Republican standards, Dwight Eisenhower would be branded a raving liberal. Who are you posting for, “David B”?

Eisenhower is a flaming liberal compared to today’s corporo-fascist Republicans. The man actually cared about America.

Why do we have so many; idiots in Congress these days? I am embarrassed and ashamed of people like this elected to represent us and make our laws.

I think if a common ordinary citizen were to make a statement like that and it got to the ears of the FBI, the common ordinary citizen would get a visit by a couple of special agents.

[...] Raw Story [...]

Guess President Obama didn’t hear Barton’s statement or just construed it as another strange form of “compromise” and bipartisanship… isn’t that what you said Americans voted for — right Mr. President!?

When the FUCK is the Obama Administration going to fight back against this kind of reprehensible shit?

ENOUGH ALREADY!

If anyone in the Senate or Congress had put this out about Bush, they would have been drawn and quartered in the press until they apologized, and they still would have been censured. It would have been a rightie talking point for weeks.

The Obama Administration has been acting like a bunch of pussies since Day One.

Rocks in your head, dude.

Loved your comment. Was that an unintended pun that John of Orange “paints himself”?

President Obama catches the heat for all the things he “didn’t do”, when in fact the racist Party of No has obstructed every step of the way for the simple reason to see his historical presidency fail.

I am as frustrated as any when I see President Obama acting like a man at an auction raising the bid on his own previous bid. WTF? No more “bi-partisanship”, period. However, Dems need to learn to SHOUT louder to be heard over the incessant noise of the right-wing nutjobs.

The scariest part is that this is what America voted for.

Because enough is enough and someone needs to teach him and his ilk a lesson.

People like Kirk truly understand only violence and might. It’s ironic because that’s what they say about their enemy.

Delay will not go to prison,after he is sentenced hair tonic boy(Rick Perry) will pardon him.

All these gun-loving, “Second Amendment Remedy” teabaggers should be investigated by the US Secret Service and sent to their favorite Caribbean Island– Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for some ‘treatment’. Can you image what FOXNEWS would have said if in the middle of lying us into war, a Dem would have said they had W in the ‘crossfire lenses’?

again, stop Obama, he doesn’t care about the country, it’s all politics
… I am not happy w/Obama, BUT, he’s president, he’s trying to keep us safe and these asses don’t look at any bills, proposals, just stop Obama

… howabout caring what happens to the country and not you pitiful political ass

I like the idea of hiring a Western style gunslinger and sending him to Washington to clean up the place. He should start with this asshole, then the lobbyists, Congress, and the Senate.

Here, here!

Dave, your comment indicates that you are a sore loser. Well, maybe not sore.

Unfortunately, that is the Rep’s (reaps) standard of excellence.

Yep, and the future president Jeb Bush’s S*** won’t stink. Help!

I sympathize with you and Kiley, but I’m afraid Texas has an ugly reputation for a good reason. If the Perry’s, Bush’s, and Bartons didn’t keep getting elected your defense of TX might be more accepted.

Why hasn’t this treasonous bastard been arrested yet?

Holder, I’m looking at you.

I wouldn’t shoot AT Barton…

The US is in deep trouble. The toxicity level of the GOP is at the highest level I’ve seen – EVER!

We could possibly lose everything.

People have been put in jail for saying what he has said, where are the arresting officers? Maybe HE should be executed for treason.

So Boehner, Cantor & Barton are Eisenhower, Bradley & Patton?

C’mon, Barton; Patton was a highly educated man who fought FOR America, not an opportunistic, inbred political vigilante trying to tear it apart.

Those men were real patriots, not corporate vampires trying to drain the corpse of our country.

These guys need their guns; all pussies need guns to protect themselves, unlike real men.

Fuck Texas anyway.

Joe Barton is more like Montgomery—a strutting toy soldier— than a patriot like Patton.

No – this is what a small district in redneck-infected Texas voted for.

So… care to actually debate anything that was said rather than resorting to name calling?

You haven’t refuted anything I said at all. The only thing you’ve shown is your distinct misunderstanding of the English language. You copied the quote from the article – Good job. Now show me how he is saying that he wants Obama assassinated (I’ll give you a hint, he isn’t). I know this is hard to believe, but there are these things in the English language called analogies and metaphors. He doesn’t actually want to shoot the Obama administration just as he isn’t actually in a physical battle with them. I’m not a fan of Joe Barton, or in fact many Republicans period. But I’m also not stupid enough to take any bit of text and flagrantly distort it out of context.

What I can’t understand is why progressives can’t see that Obama is the woodpile Bush,
continuing the Bush agenda, clear back to Herbert Walker.

There is NO political war in the US. There is just political SHOW. The war is between
the puppets masters (like Soros, and Maddow) and The People. Guess what? We The People are losing.

Just what I was thinking. If Obama had balls to go with those brains, he’d have this idiot arrested.

As far as I’m concerned anyone advocating the destruction of this administration (the duly elected government of the United States) is treading dangerously close to (if not crossing the line into ) treason and/or sedition and should be labeled appropriately. And when they protest loudly and indignantly, “Are you accusing me of being a traitor!!??!! “, the answer should be, “You’re damned straight!” They don’t seem to know the difference between being the loyal opposition and being enemies of the United States. If they can’t accept the duly elected government perhaps they should leave the country ( or be imprisoned if they’re advocating it’s overthrow).

Texans have what they wanted and what they deserved. Why they haven’t seceded yet is beyond me.

Oh, that’s right. Texas is one of the largest recipients in this nation of federal tax dollars. You won’t hear Teatards talking about that little fact tho.

Nope. Just a handful of Texans. They got what they deserved.

So, “David B” (if that even is your name) do they give you a nice computer to work from, at the Heritage Foundation? Or are you at Karl’s Crossroads? Whatever. Now, for the English lesson. Barton made the statement that he and Boehner and Cantor were akin to Allied leaders in WWII, and that they (Barton and the current Republican leaders) were all aligned against the Obama administration. Barton then said, “Put anything in my scope and I will shoot it.” If you don’t think that Barton was referring to President Obama, DB, then please tell me just who or what Joe was talking about shooting. There’s no opponent in his statement other than the president. And Erwin Rommel died in 1944. Perhaps Joe wasn’t aware of his passing. That must be it. Of course.

Have you ever heard of the phrase, ‘to shoot someone’s idea down’? Now, of course, we aren’t actually talking about shooting anything, but to just deny someone of having their idea taken into consideration. Have you considered the idea that he isn’t actually talking about shooting, and is simply using imagery? He is simply stating he wishes to defeat the Obama administration (meaning their policies, ideas, and changes they wish to make in Washington D.C.). Also, I’m enjoying your little conspiracy theory about me being affiliated with some sort of think-tank. In actuality, I’m not affiliated with any sort of political (or non-political) agency of any sorts. I’m actually a registered Democrat, though I tend to vote more conservatively when it comes to finances (I’m a liberal when it comes to social issues and local government). I appreciate you believing that I’m in some sort of position of influence though!

Here, here. I remember that appellation being thrown at those of us who legally and responsibly opposed the Gulf War in Iraq and actively supported anti-war candidates, yet you would think we were threatening bodily harm to anyone in the Bush Administration. So, I think it’s legitimate to say if you don’t like the current administration, then find someplace else to live. The old love it or leave it is appropriate here.

Where is the FBI? Why are they not dealing with this and other right wingers who makes incendiary statements like it???

I love how he tries to spin it like HE’s the smartypants makin’ da silly scientist stumble. (condescending cheek pinching voice)

Chu was puzzled by Barton’s deft ignorance. He was puzzled that this man holds office in the USA. He was puzzled that of all the positions he could hold, he’s the Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
