Louie Gohmert: Democrats Want Another Terror Attack For Jobs

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your modern Republican party. Gohmert will not be rebuked, shunned, or even chided for his disgusting comments. In fact, as Steve Benen notes, this is probably a good move for him in order to move up to leadership.

    There has to be some kind of secret contest going on, with these guys competing to see who can make the most outrageous comments.

    Republiclowns have been making this accusation for years and Dumbocrats still haven’t come up with a good retort.

    That’s an idiotic thing for him to say but WTF, Alan Grayson is a hero here and serves as a role model for Democrats with low testosterone levels.

      The GOP health care “plan” does in fact effectively say “die quickly”.

      Is there a republican argument or defense that doesn’t include “But, but, but…” at its core?

      Haven’t seen one yet.

        Is there a democrat argument or defense that can’t be distilled to “Bush started it”?

        No? Ok then.

        • Wilbur says:
          November 18, 2009 at 2:44 pm

          Are you saying Bush didn’t start it? (“it” being most of what currently ails this country)

        • Marco says:
          November 18, 2009 at 2:45 pm

          Thanks for admitting defeat.

          You have retorted to the observation that all right-wing arguments amount to “But, but, but” by posting a statement that amounts to “but, but, but.”

          This is meta it hurts. MC Escher would be proud.

        • Oliver Willis says:

          The problem is, 99% of our current problems can be traced to Bush.

          • SaveFarris says:
            November 18, 2009 at 3:17 pm

            The problem is … Bush is no longer President. Obama’s the Decider and has been for almost a full year, and he’s making things like unemployment, the deficit, Afghanistan, and government competency worse, not better.

            Can’t blame that on Bush, though I don’t doubt you’ll try…

          • Dennis says:
            November 18, 2009 at 3:17 pm

            Which can be traced to Clinton.

            • Oliver Willis says:
              November 18, 2009 at 6:06 pm

              You’ll get no argument from me that on issues like finance, President Clinton acted too much like a conservative. Bush just made the problems worse. So far President Obama’s biggest fault – and it isn’t a big one in my eyes – is not being liberal enough.

      What on earth could that possibly mean? Is Dennis projecting again? Does it have something to do with the time he tried to teabag “john sullivan” but got shot down?

      I know exactly what you mean. I’m on the institutional sales side and have been all my career, mostly for regional firms. I took the Series 7 so long that I’m sure it’s quite different now, but yeah, none of it had much practical experience for doing what I did. Speaking of compliance, you just reminded me I’m overdue for a C/E requirement that my compliance officer keeps nagging me about because she knows what a procrastinator I am. Seriously, stick around.

      Sorry Dennis, I guess you’ll have to shoot off all of your supermanly excess testosterone on racist assholes Rush Limbaugh and Robert Stacy “Ol’ Gumshoe Bob” McCain.

    The trolling wingnuts can never just come into a thread when a Republican has said something absolutely repugnant and just say, “You know what? You’re right. What a fucking stupid and disgusting thing to say.”

    It always comes to “But your side does it too/is worse/waaaaaah!”

    Fuck you guys.

    When you can come into a thread not try to defend repugnant behavior, or try to deflect criticism from conservatives, or point fingers in the other direction, then maybe you can be taken seriously. But in the meantime, fuck off.

  7. Bitter Scribe says:
    November 18, 2009 at 3:52 pm

    To give this Gohmert credit, he was probably trying to be sarcastic.

    Dimwits shouldn’t try to use sarcasm, just as toddlers shouldn’t be allowed to play with sharp kitchen knives.

  8. Dennis says:
    November 18, 2009 at 3:55 pm

    We’re not going to lionize this guy like you guys are doing with Grayson, spring chicken mambo. Grayson has been held up, applauded and glorified for standing up and being a complete jackass by the liberal blogosphere and the nightly cables outside of Fox, not to mention the collective here.

    This is where your immaturity is on full display. It pisses you off when your hypocrisy is as plain as the nose on your face and it’s shown to you in no uncertain terms, and you have no idea as to how to counteract it or make a case for it not being an apt comparison. The only thing you’re able to do at this stage in your life with the limited wisdom you possess is lash out like an impish middle school hothead, which is what you are.

        Mmmm-hmmm. And your “Fuck you guys.”? Boo-hoo.

        You’re just a child, spring chicken.

        As Barack Obama said in his inauguration speech, “the time has come to set aside childish things”.

        He was telling you to grow up, dude.

        • mambochicken23 says:
          November 18, 2009 at 4:24 pm

          “Fuck you guys.”? Boo-hoo.

          Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize that telling you all to fuck off was necessarily something a child would do. I didn’t know it was common parlance for children. Now, from pissed-off adults who are sick of dealing with morons, sure. Telling an absolute clown to go fuck himself is not being a crybaby in any way. A little crude, perhaps.

          You’re just a child, spring chicken…He was telling you to grow up, dude.

          Says the fucking idiot who tells me to make sure that my lips are well-salivated so that I can accept a scrotum into my mouth. Says the idiot who gives little snarky nicknames to everyone on this board. Says the idiot who cannot be a fucking man and own up to the fundamental nature of many of the people on his side. Says the idiot who thinks that snarky comments about someone’s age is equivalent to discrediting their points.

          So says the idiot, folks.

      It pisses you off when your hypocrisy is as plain as the nose on your face

      No. What Alan Grayson said, while heated and bold and not PC, was fundamentally correct. The Republicans had (have?) no plan. Unless you want to claim that Gohmert is being fundamentally truthful and correct in his commentary, I am again not being hypocritical.

      • Dennis says:
        November 18, 2009 at 4:21 pm

        Republicans don’t want people to “die quickly”. That is incorrect. That is still being hailed here. Steve Benen and OW both note that what Goehmert said would problably help him, and there is no denying that what Grayson said substantially helped among the liberal rabble.

        If it is wrong for Goehmert to be aided from his party for saying what he said, the same applies to Grayson, and your argument to the contrary shows your abject hypocrisy.

        Which is why it pisses you off so much, because you stumble trying to deny it. No background in logic or the applied sciences can aid you, either, Grasshopper.

        • mambochicken23 says:
          November 18, 2009 at 4:28 pm

          Republicans don’t want people to “die quickly”. That is incorrect.

          Well then, their behavior does not mirror their true feelings then. Because the point that Grayson was making was the complete lack of a Republican plan amounts to the plan being “Don’t get sick. If you do, die quickly.” Like I said before, crude, bold, and hyperbolic, but not fundamentally incorrect.

          and your argument to the contrary shows your abject hypocrisy.

          Again, you are wrong. Do you know what the word “hypocrisy” means, idiot?

          because you stumble trying to deny it.

          I didn’t stumble at all. Whose words are you reading?

          No background in logic or the applied sciences can aid you, either, Grasshopper.

          Actually, this is precisely how I avoid being an insipid piece of shit like you, Dennis. I actually work at being logical and reasonable.

          And Sarah Palin, Dennis! Don’t forget when you called Palin a liar for her death panel crap. Remember?

          I, for one, applaud your bipartisanship!

    I’ll be the first ti come to Dennis’s defense here. He’s right. They want people to die slowly and painfully so they can watch them suffer.

    • Dennis says:
      November 18, 2009 at 5:24 pm

      You and spring chicken are two peas in the same the young pod, Zython.

      I think you actually do believe that and so does spring chicken because that’s what the lib blogs tell you is true and it fits in with your school work. You have papers on it in your backpacks.

      • mambochicken23 says:
        November 18, 2009 at 5:51 pm

        Oliver, can we break out the ban-hammer? This guy is clearly uninterested in having a real conversation about anything, and continues to harp on ridiculous nonsense and off-topic issues.

        I don’t have a lot of patience for this kind of thing (as is obvious), but it takes a lot to make me think that he should just be barred from commenting. I think I’m at that point. He is just too tiresome, becoming an even greater pest than Frank or any other con on here. And no, Dennis, it’s not because of the self-imagined lucidity and rationality of your comments. You are an obnoxious hack.

        Anyway, OW, obviously it’s your blog. I’m just a guest. But I think that Dennis is not contributing toward any kind of constructive conversation and should be eliminated.

  10. barstoolcadaver says:

    Well, graybeard may be annoying, misogynistic and simple, but he does seem to get a lot of the blood flowing here. Can that be a wholly bad thing?

  11. Bruce Henry says:
    November 18, 2009 at 6:16 pm

    If I had a vote in the matter, I would never vote to ban anyone but the worst offenders, like that asshole who kept saying “Thus Sayeth The Impaler!”
    Dennis doesn’t rise to nearly that level of ignorance and offensiveness. He ain’t as good as Jay Tea or Jay, but he’s no worse than Frank or AO.

    So if it was put to a vote, I would NOT vote to ban Dennis. Then again, I don’t seem to be one of his usual targets.

    • mambochicken23 says:
      November 18, 2009 at 7:55 pm

      My issue is that it seems to me that Dennis has gotten far worse. He used to be tolerable and seemed to care about making sense, and speaking honestly about issues. But the guy now spends all his time here deflecting, lying, and making stupid snarky comments, not to mention the personal attacks on individuals that have nothing to do with the topics OW raises in his threads.

      See: my age, Zython’s age, whether Zython at one time engaged in nym-stealing, Jaim’s decision to teach in Korea, something about Indeed being a child molester… the list goes on. None of these things have anything to do with ANYTHING, much less politics.

      See, I actually think that Dennis is worse than Frank or AO, simply by virtue of the fact that he shits on every single goddamn thread. Frank and AO don’t have that kind of commitment, and occasionally poke their heads out for us to laugh at them. No, Dennis continually shits all over this blog, even to the point where most people here know a phrase that signifies his lack of on-topic, serious conversation.

      “So, Dennis… Schmidt?”

      It ain’t my house, so if OW wants to put up with that, that’s his call. More power to him, I suppose. He has more patience than me.

      • mambochicken23 says:
        November 18, 2009 at 8:25 pm

        He used to be tolerable and seemed to care about making sense, and speaking honestly about issues.

        I should point out that, barring me diving through tons of old threads, I have no way of knowing whether this is actually true. I remember thinking this to be true, but perhaps my perception was just off.
