GOP Congressman: Terror Trial Held In NYC To Attract Terror Attack Because 'Rebuilding Will Create Jobs'
Truly, Republicans have no shame. They have a culture of lies and emotional manipulation, and they recognize no boundaries of decency. From Media Matters:
After the Department of Justice announced it would move toward convicting 9/11 terrorists in a New York City courtroom, Congressional Republicans raced to condemn the decision.
Because Republicans believe that their political fortunes improve when the country is fearful, party leadership jumped at the chance to scare people. Yet as is often the case, the House Republican Caucus' overzealous, far-right members crossed the line.
As Media Matters Action Network first noted yesterday, Rep. John Shadegg declared the decision meant Mayor Bloomberg's daughter would be "kidnapped at school by a terrorist."
Not to be outdone, Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas suggested yesterday that Democrats may actually want another terrorist attack because rebuilding the city would create jobs.
As Republican Congressman Peter King of New York put it to the New York Daily News, "in some parts of the country, I guess anti-New York remarks still pay off."

is a cesspool and its leaders are those turds who float to the top.
What would you expect from the party that brought you death panels and wants to kill your grandma against the protests of a Republican baby that can't talk?
... stand up, denounce these kinds of statements, and require the GOP to do likewise. No mincing about.
It wasn't so long ago that even the merest negative thought in President Bush's direction resulted in accusations of treason.
this is congress, why would you speak out against your friends?
...oh, I'm sorry, Gohmert, these guys don't have superpowers, you bedwetting sack of snot. Quit projecting your night terrors on the rest of us, coward.
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
And that link ended with a really good question:
"And we have to wonder, why are these guys from Texas and Arizona more afraid of it than New Yorkers?"
To the rest of the GOP I would submit this small bit of wisdom.
..you'll probably understand the following:
Religion is how we teach our children to act as adults!
Now if only the adults wouldn't act like cowards.

Rep. King is often regarded as one of the most porcine, foolhardy talking heads his party offers. It's a shame that for all his usual histrionics, he has failed to realize that the majority of his own party doesn't consider him as being part of "real America." A smarter man would walk away, but nobody will ever accuse Peter King of being too smart.

They apparently have nothing else left....
Corruption favors the wealthy.
Repugs just want their way with no real goals. If Limpballs or FOX say, "Don't eat sesame buns, that's what Arabs eat" boing! No buns, no buns, no buns.
Pencil necked moron/dickhead!
Okay, if you're a Republican that's three words..
..to f-ing censure these pinheads?
We can't go beating them upside the head. We can't go making equivalent threats. We can't arrest them. WHY the F can't we censure them for saying stupid, cowardly, irresponsible, insensitive and JUST PLAIN WRONG THINGS!
You couldn't pay me to vote for the best republican't. The best republican't is dumber than a box a rocks and apologies to the rocks for classing them with the classless!

..in NY, we're tough! As the great philosopher Rodney Dangerfield would observe: "when I was a kid, my neighborhood was so tough that in football, after the defense sacked the quarterback, they'd go after his family!" Rodney Dangerfield, RIP, born in Babylon, LI., NEW YORK

They ain't in the right-wing who want us all to cower in fear and hide our faces with the threat of the terrorists with super-powers. Their powers are so great, they were tortured and they didn't reveal any important information.
Real Americans don't run and hide. Bring the trials on.
I will never forget having sobering thoughts in the aftermath of 9/11, thinking, here's our chance to prove to the world what kind of nation we really are, a nation of laws not of men, a nation who would bring the terrorists to justice. We got lies from our leaders about the fight to bring the bastards to justice and now many of the supporters of that corrupt administration are telling us to cower in fear - F YOU! I just won't

...I thought that after 9/11, Bush had a real opportunity to create a remarkable force for justice if only he would rise to the occasion...anybody with an ounce of integrity...
but there it is.

You can be JUST PLAIN WRONG once but when you've done it time and time again, then you're JUST PALIN WRONG.
Clever observation, but I think I'm getting nauseous. That name is uttered too many times in a day as it is. Just shut her the hell up and tuck her away into the dustbin of history's larger embarrassments. I believe it's called "VH1" now.
this is like a b&w twilight zone episode when we turn to each other as survivors and say:
look what it's doing to us. what's happening to us?
we're acting like this?
Yes, but it's only in your own party Mr. King you stupid clown! As for Gomer Pile, I can't stand listening to him talk. He sounds like a total goober! He Louie! Go have sex with your sisters! It's what you toothless banjo players do! HAYSEEDS! Keep those saltines in your party. We'll continue to kick your dumb asses out of office!
Um wouldn't "Change We Can Believe In" and "Yes We Can" kind of fit into this category?
I mean I see little signs of either promise being delivered at this point.
Yes, but the party of the klan isn't going to make anything better. Or have you forgotten the last 8 years? I'm personally glad that this neo confederate party will soon be like the Whig party....DEAD!
How can one forget the greatest rip off in U.S. History? Have you noticed Part 2 is now underway?

Sometimes they're better.

These Republicans are just crazy. No doubt about it. What's a shame is that most Americans aren't aware
of the things they say.
They're on to our nefarious libbrill naziistic plan to create jobs for illegal aliens in New York!!!
I hope that they don't find out about our plans to turn their dogs into unemployed gay-marriaged kitty cats...
Say, aren't there some CIA agents no longer welcome in Italy because they just flew in and kidnapped people on their own and sent them to a coalition country that tortures? Guess their courts can handle insergents from a nation that spends more money on war than the entire world! Yep, after over a hundred waterboardings, and spewing hatred using bad videos and maybe paying for some guys with boxcutters to terrorise and bankrupt the US, he is a threat? Man, the one-eyed-imam that first tried to blow up the towers hasn't escaped...so I guess our socialist jail system at least works and keeps potential terroist/kidnappers off the streets.
Obama should come out and point out that Bush's goal was to liberate the East to adopt our system of freedom, justice and capitalism. If the people here don't trust it, well then...
...millions of New Yorkers at risk? Since when has terrorism killed millions? Especially in this country? It's not like this is, you know, lacking insurance, or something...
In 1992, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping flung open the doors to foreign investment. Since then, the Chinese have sold so many of those products back to Americans that China now has more than $2 trillion in foreign currency reserves — more than any other country.
Per capita income in China is around $3,200.
I bet Republicans wish that was our per capita income here in the U.S.
... regarding terrorist trials.

Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
So why is it that the Dallas City Council and commissioners insist, on a stack of Victoria's Secrets, that the boosh library at SMU won't attract terrorist's attention?

"Not to be outdone, Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas suggested yesterday that Democrats may actually want another terrorist attack because rebuilding the city would create jobs."
Kind of the inverse of bombing the Hell out of other countries to keep
the military industrial wheels turning huh?
It takes a hard right conservative to equate job creation with terrorist activities.Of course,given their own record on job creation it makes perfect sense.

...trying to convince my self that being fair and 'centrist' was the way to go, I can tell you, no. I tried to rationalize a belief in fiscal conservatism. Then I got educated, and actually studied the economy, and came to one conclusion; the Conservative movement has NOTHING to offer except fear and platitudes. Yet, America will vote them back into power next election because the Democrats wussed out on their big promises, and the Republicans held back the rest, even with a Senatorial super-majority. My thinking is, less than a week into the new session, after the Republicans have been voted back into power, they will bring articles of impeachment against the President and try to have him removed from office.
we already did the birth certificate thing.
What a bunch of sore losers. They seem to be sore winners too.
ugh
first off, we should be wary of the terminology; kind of like the definition of pornography, a supreme court justice once said "i know it when i see it"
nyc would be at risk no matter where the trial was held.
we also should not assume al qaeda is so attached to symbolism, if max damage could be done in des moines, that is what they would do, don't guerrillas probe for weaknesses?
I thought Texas wanted to secede. What's taking them so long?
They're afraid they might have to fight Santa Anna again.

This guy is laughable. What's so sad about his existence, is that he was VOTED IN by the dimwits in his district. Jesus, I didn't think there was any part of the country that f*cking dumb. I was wrong.
We are a nation of morons. This clown is living proof.
Note to Peter King.
Those are YOUR Republlcan colleagues, asshat. The members of YOUR Party don't give a SHIT about Party Unity. All they care about is their own boney asses and holding onto their positions...which is usually kneeling in front of a corporate lobbyists.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
They act like Cujo after the attacks, demanding they go after the terrorists for the attacks, because they threaten our way of life. Now it's time to try five of them, and they turn in Scooby-freaking-Doo.
Ro, No! Ro rials here! Raggy!
Instead we should just execute them and get it over with. Hey, morons, you realize being a nation that abides by the rule of law is also part of our way of life, right?
Holding up American ideals of justice makes a mockery of American ideals of justice!

That's interesting. Wasn't Dick Cheney quoted as saying 'What this country needs is another Pearl Harbor like attack to wake it up."? If another 'terrorist' attack were to occur anywhere on our soil or anything, God forbid, were to happen to the President...the first people I would start to investigate would be the GOP. Surprise, surprise, yet another militant group has made itself known. They call themselves 'Oath Keepers'. They take the same pledge as a military officer. Except they exclude the statement "I will obey the President of The United States". If an investigation were to be done, I would bet my last dollar that the Republican Party is not only encouraging, but also funding this sudden increase in militant groups. With all the outrageous statements and behavior coming out of the GOP and along with the rise in the numbers of militant, gun toting groups, strikes me as being more than just coincidence.
God's speed and protection President Obama.
Government + the Federal Reserve = organized crime
Sorry, but anyone who really thinks the radical islamist nutcases and dirtbags who will be watching this circus from their caves and hideouts will not at least attempt more massive terrorist attacks in New York as "vengeance" is just plain naive.
We have terrorists attacking us at peace and at war... What is their main underlying concern and or the motivating factor...Go figure?

That is a fact they have no boundries of decency.
That is what I have been saying that republicanism/conservatism is a mental illness that is killing America!
That our SCLM let's them get away with it.
