the most dangerous remarks today came from J.D. Hayworth

[grasswire]

Arizona congressman.

He claimed that today's protest was evil because Democrats betrayed the traditional obligation to accept the results of a legitimate election.

Insidious! Disgusting!

Why?

Because of this list of extra-Constitutional and anti-American actions designed to impose the will of right on the American people:

The coup attempt against FDR (nearly successful)
The McCarthy hearings
Watergate
Nixon's botching of the Paris Peace Talks
Iran Contra
October Surprise
Meddling in the release of hostages in Iran to skew an election
The coup attempt against Bill Clinton
The election fraud of 2000
The election fraud of 2004

(Those are some in a longer list of occurrences.)

It is abundantly clear that Rep. Hayworth's attack on Democrats comes from a party that has attempted over and over again to seize power against the expressed will of the American people.

1. The GOP has no respect for America!

[grasswire]

2. true

They have no respect for our constitutional guarantees.

[punpirate]

3. If the Republicans believe so strongly...

... in the will of the people during elections, why do they spend so much time and effort suppressing that vote, using procedural blocking to prevent registration, engage in dirty tricks to bend those election results in their favor?

There's a question I'd like the press to ask of the Hon. J.D. Hayworth.


Edit for syntax.

[FreepFryer]

4. All the more reason to reject the notion that their opinion of us matters.

We will win the framing war.

[Old Mouse]

5. Paris Peace Talks?

I haven't heard them referenced since they happened! Impressive memory you have.

6. Thank God I missed that...I couldnt stand him from the start

so I flipped to the Senate channel. My vote for most dangerous one that I heard was this piece of -- DREIER. He said basically that the Democrats were tearing the country apart, and that their lack of willingness to accept the LEGITIMATE results of the election would encourage terrorists to attack us. Who is this devil? I could have ripped him in two...

7. I fuckin' knew it--he's one blustery red faced POS.

I watched the Senate proceedings, then had enough, but I was waiting for that knuckledragger Hayworth to say something.

I bet he's got a nice brown shirt in his closet waiting to be used.

He is the Republican I like least.

8. He's a Rush Limbaugh Clone

He speaks just like Limbaugh
This AssWipe must have Video Monitors in every room playing Rush Limbaugh 24/7
He must have Limbaugh Audio going thru his shit filled head while he sleeps
He does Limbaugh perfectly
This guy is a real sack of Shit

[grasswire]

10. it is uncanny

although J.D. has lost a lot of weight and Limbaugh still resembles Barney the Purple.

[flpoljunkie]

9. I'm sorry, did he say "legitimate?" This we cannot know with the system

we are now using to tabulate our votes even without getting into obvious and systematic voter suppression in Ohio and many other states!

This man is an obscene human being, not worthy to be a member of Congress!

12. I think you could call 2000 a successful Coup d'Etat.

This man needs to leave public service immediately. If not sooner.

[Coexist]

13. Hayworthless has that Neanderthal brow ridge thing going

you can't miss him. I shudder when I see him - He is on my list of most distasteful republicans.

[Patsy Stone]

15. Mel, too.

Yuck, they suck. And they can take Ileana with them when they go! Feh!
:(

[coffeenap]

14. that man is a buffoon

Did y'all see him on the floor during the vote debacle? He was a strutting peacock and a complete idiot. He even took time to discuss the weather in Arizona vs. the weather in Florida DURING the discussion and debate.
