At this point, it’s inexcusable that GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert’s name is not a widely used neologism meaning something like “a person or thing that makes everything worse by being a fucking asshole.” Notice we did not say “a stupid fucking asshole” because Louie Gohmert isn’t stupid -- he knows exactly how to formulate his paranoid bilge for maximum rube-rage-stoking effect and self-advancement.

1855 Texas newspaper editorial, quoted by Richard Hofstadter in &quot;The Paranoid Style of American Politics&quot;. Change &quot;Catholic&quot; to &quot;Muslim&quot; and it&#039;s Gohmert&#039;s latest speech.<blockquote> . . . It is a notorious fact that the Monarchs of Europe and the Pope of Rome are at this very moment plotting our destruction and threatening the extinction of our political, civil, and religious institutions. We have the best reasons for believing that corruption has found its way into our Executive Chamber, and that our Executive head is tainted with the infectious venom of Catholicism. . . . The Pope has recently sent his ambassador of state to this country on a secret commission, the effect of which is an extraordinary boldness of the Catholic church throughout the United States. . . . These minions of the Pope are boldly insulting our Senators; reprimanding our Statesmen; propagating the adulterous union of Church and State; abusing with foul calumny all governments but Catholic, and spewing out the bitterest execrations on all Protestantism. The Catholics in the United States receive from abroad more than $200,000 annually for the propagation of their creed. Add to this the vast revenues collected here. . . .</blockquote>
Couldn&#039;t -- just for once, kryst almighty -- his paranoia be correct.
Cuz we need some &quot;Nurse Ratchett Special Forces Unit&quot; to storm his house in the middle of the night and force him to take his meds. And then Bachman, King, et al.
Come on Louie I&#039;m so dissappointed in you,what the hell.Didn&#039;t you know that Obammy was doing this. Jeebus Crist you dumb fuck everyone knows that that guy what was the bestest sniper in the history of the US was taken out cause he refused to join the secret army and do the sniper of folks with that Obammycare chip shooting gun.Why the hell do you think he has not taken all the guns from folks he is seein just who can sport a squirrel rifle and pick off a man from a fur peace away so he can recruit them once he gots all the army then he will be kickin down doors kickin ass and taken guns.You need to get with the program Louie Obammy has told every Muslin in the world this and you act as if you are just findin out,are you wanting to be fired or what
Dunno, but if he was conservative, he&#039;d stand a chance of being elected.
The ability to hold two contradictory thoughts in one&#039;s head at one time is vastly overrated.
DON&#039;T FORGET TED NUGENT
(Please, Squad, don&#039;t forget)
Wednesday?
If he didn&#039;t exist, I&#039;d have to invent him.
Even with Texas-scale gerrymandering, that is one hell of a concentration of stupid.

Pissed off shit?
He won his district with 90% in 2010 and 72% in 2012. With new Texas voter ID laws, I&#039;ll bet he can get that up to 107% in 2014.
A dire need for deficit spending on shit?

Louie, why would Obama need to stockpile ammunition, if he was going to kill your followers with syringes and healthcare items?

And Joe Barton wept.
&quot;....are they being taught to use syringes and health care items?&rdquo;
Just wait until they attack you with their Sphygmomanometers Of Death, Louie. Be afraid...be very afraid.
