Small but highly excitable segments of the Wingnutosphere are in high dudgeon over the maybe-treasonous remarks of Rep. Paul "Gosar the Destroyer" Gosar (DDS, R-AZ), who said some very outrageous things at a June 28th online town hall thing hosted by largely unknown Tea Party group "Unite in Action" and posted to the group's YouTube channel over the weekend. Oh god you are totally NOT going to believe the thing he said. It's just so unbelievably traitor-y and freedom-hating! No, really, it's bad.

The fact that a DMD is a sure way to score a high-quality J.A.P. is a huge motive, at least on Long Island.
That must have been one hell of a lumpy rug, even wihthout all the heads.
There's just something about carrying around enough sheet metal for three Civics (and burning enough gas for four.)
those are some mighty endowed wenches up there.

But Gosar is from Arizona, not Utah.
Jello is fine as long as they use Newt's mom's recipe.
That car deserves a decent crushing.
If you disagree with me, you hate the constitution.
Hey, easy now. We don't want any trouble, understand?
