Rep. Pete Sessions: Taliban is ‘a model’ for how GOP can become an ‘insurgency.’»

In an interview with Hotline, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) said the Republican party will have to be come an “insurgency” to counter Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, and added that the Taliban can serve as “a model”:

“Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban,” Sessions said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. “And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person’s entire processes. And these Taliban — I’m not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that’s not what we’re saying. I’m saying an example of how you go about is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with.” (…)

When pressed to clarify, Sessions said he was not comparing the House Republican caucus to the Taliban, the Muslim fundamentalist group. “I simply said one can see that there’s a model out there for insurgency,” Sessions said before being interrupted by an aide.

Sessions made a similar analogy last week at the House Republicans’ retreat, saying that Republicans “need to get over the idea that they’re participating in legislation and ought to start thinking of themselves as ‘an insurgency’ instead.” ........(more)

1. Maybe they should just go hide out in caves then

Save us all a lot of trouble....

2. He's NOT comparing the Republicans to the Taliban.

He's contrasting them. The Republicans need to LEARN from the Taliban. The Taliban is getting shit done. Sessions is holding the Taliban up as an appropriate model to inflict a hateful ideology on their community. Sessions knows quality when he sees it, and the Republicans need to properly emulate such a high-class model as the Taliban.

5. When does he want to take up arms and start killing those who disagree?

Or killing anyone who works for the 'other side,' no matter what their ideology?

3. Well now I'm glad he got that out FINALLY. He neglected to mention they've been doing it for

a quite a while now and it's now time for a bigger and better war on America. Obviously (Election '08) the results didn't turn out so well and adjustments should be made.

So, I say we should indulge the Pukes and treat them the same way we'd treat the Taliban or any other radical fundie terrorist organization.

What say ye?

Congratulations, numbskull.

6. Well, at least what he claimed to hate.

7. Good. We should mimick the US response to the Taliban.

No fucking mercy.

8. Can we round them all up now and send them to Gitmo for some good old fashoined water fun.

What a maroon...
