Republican Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia held a town hall meeting on Tuesday. Generally these days when a member of Congress meets with her constituents, she is shot in the head, but because President Obama made America more civil, the crowd simply asked,
"Broun, a doctor from Athens in his third congressional term, routinely calls Obama a socialist and said shortly after Obama's election in 2008 that he feared the president would establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship."
Why would Mr. Broun possibly think those comments could lead to such a question?
He must be a heckofa doctor. "Geez, Mrs. Jones, I'm really sorry your husband died. But that doesn't mean my operation was a failure..."
As John The Boehner has taught us: Representatives job is to merely <em>listen</em> to constituents. And listening does not include informing them of their felonious behavior*. But now that the people of Georgia have spoken, will Broun blindly act on what he was told? Or will he agree that the people are sometimes idiots? __________________ * I have to allow that Broun was probably just a-scared of the questioner.
I&#039;d like to say that the right-wingers out there know that if he were to be shot, he&#039;d immediately become a martyr for the cause, people would become activists in his memory and it would make the right wing look very bad. I doubt they have the collective brains to figure that out, though.
&lt;also: i&#039;m a little afraid to ask why a lousiana lobbyist is &#039;reading&#039; to children.&gt;
oh drunk fuflans put this on the wrong thread.
fuflans hangs head in shame...
perfectly said my friend.
Enjoy the diet waffle and chicken a la mode.
Teachers with 40-50 kids a room, who are expected to do 20-30 hours of work outside the classroom a week, without any collective bargaining rights.
From the latest story:
&quot;Broun, a doctor from Athens in his third congressional term, routinely calls Obama a socialist and said shortly after Obama&#039;s election in 2008 that he feared the president would establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist dictatorship.&quot;

I understand now. If the South can&#039;t have slaves, they&#039;ll settle for teachers.
Mr. Broun simply had to tell the person who asked the question to leave the meeting.
He didn&#039;t have the guts or native wit to do that.
Now he&#039;s spinning it that he didn&#039;t dignify the question with an answer.
Pathetic...
To be fair, this comment and laughter wasn&#039;t the congressman&#039;s fault, just the stupid backwards morons that elected him.
Would anyone be surprised that this &ldquo;kook&rdquo; has a sizable gun collection which he is legally entitled to own?
I suppose he might survive a lynching, plus you actually have to touch the person to lynch him.

They have teachers down South?
The guy is a nut.
Less retarded.
