Noted nitwit Louis Gohmert (of “anchor babies are going to blow up our shit!” and “the Aurora shootings are godless liberals’ fault” fame) is mad at Pepaw McCain and other “Republican numbnuts” for picking on Michele Bachmann.
Also, he’s not Islamophobic because he’s hugged Muslims before!

Does this brainless fucker have any teeth?

Having read the article at the link, I’d like to know from Gohmert exactly which members of terrorist groups are allowed into the White House.
These Repubs are disgusting with their lies and crazy attacks.

Given the fact that McCain is such a low-key, easy-going, even-keel sort of guy, I’m sure that Louie will never regret saying this.

If Liberals had their way, we’d all be forced to hug Muslims.

Not sure if serious.

Do I sense an assault upon the inherent dignity of the tooth-impaired?

OT: The Philadelphia monsignor found guilty of covering up child abuse was sentenced today to 3-6 years in the state pen (h/t commenter researchok at LGF). Seems pretty light to me.

Gohmert probably thinks the Crusades were a battle to free Lexington and Concord from the Muslims.

I thought Gohmert resigned? Or is there another wingnut Gohmert who could not even manage to get enough signatures, as a sitting Rep, to qualify for re-election?
If it the same Gohmert, why is he not working on a script for a dramedy about it? I hear he has promise. Maybe BBC would be interested.
“Sorry Minister, Nothing Upstairs”, might be a good title.

Let’s not forget, the good people of wherever, TX elected Gomer to be a judge before they elected him to be the dumbest dumbfuck in the House.

“Nitwit” doesn’t begin to capture the mind-numbing stupid (which explains why his fans don’t notice this…they have no minds) of this vile piece of fascist shit.

Why do I click on your posts if they only give me yet another link to read the entire thing? Seems you’re piggybacking BJ to get more readers at your own blog. Which is weird.

Someone has to be the low bar to clear. Of course this level is professional limbo bar height. OK maybe I’ve set it too high.
It is possible that the voters wanted to raise the IQ level of their district and did so by sending him to DC.

Holy crap. For all his well-known modesty, reluctance to talk about his Heroic Endurance of Torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese, and his very Straight Talkin’ campaign, I’m no fan of the Straight Talkin’ War Hero John McCain. But I hope and expect he’s goes medieval on this shitheel loon like like some intramural Preston Brookes.

Back up one cotton pickin’ minute there, Gohmert. Did you say you “hugged muslims around the world”? DHS had better investigate those mooslims YOU hugged to see if any of them had connections to Muslim Brotherhood. Safe bet at least one of them knew someone who knew someone……need I say more?
Louie needs to be investigated – immediately!

Easy: 1) Democrats, 2) liberals, & 3) assorted critical thinkers and persons of knowledge (experts).

Thank you for that post (#20), Santiago. Alexander is clearly a very eloquent, thoughtful person. I’ve never heard him interviewed and had no idea he had such insights. Sometimes it seems that more and more people in the entertainment business are right-wing knuckleheads. (Of course, they are the ones making the most noise — to wit, the Cat Scratch Fever guy, the younger/dumber Baldwin, et al.)
Go, Jason!

You’re making Thaddeus G. McCotter veeerrry angry!

Mr. Gohmert, have you no brain? At long last, have you no brain?

@Ash Can: Yeah, there’s no way this could go wrong. Not in a million years.

Also, he’s not Islamophobic because he’s hugged Muslims before.
The POS was probably just patting them down for weapons.

Read today where the Corsi Conspiracy directed toward the supposed Muslim Brotherhood inflitration of gummit became sensitive to the continued skullfucking they have received from reasonably sane individuals in the political and media realms. The CC decided to release the damning information, to connect the muslim dots if you will.
Ya see, Huma Abedins mother translated and published a book. Apparently the contents of the book are said to be, from the twisted fever swamp of the far right cranial region, supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood. This is their evidence that Huma is a muslim sleeper agent.
I dont think translates means what they think it means.

@Ash Can: @maya: Uh, Gomer? I would be careful about using “hugging muslims” and “around the world” in the same sentence.
