Gpuke congressman to members of the European Parliament: "I hope it's your families that die"
[During a Congressional hearing this week with members of the European Parliament, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher] railed against anyone who questioned the right of the Bush administration to do whatever it wanted, legal or illegal, to prevent terrorist acts and said that by not supporting the Bush policies was consigning their country to the terrorists. In particular he said that any Americans who questioned the extraordinary rendition were un-American [...]What... an... American.
Rohrabacher said if European countries did not cooperate with the United States and go along with whatever the Bush administration wanted, they were condemning their countrymen to death by not using extralegal methods to imprison terrorist suspects. When citizens attending the hearing, including members of Codepink Women for Peace and Veterans for Peace, heard Rohrabacher's statement, they collectively groaned. Then, much to the shock and disbelief of everyone in the hearing room, Rorhbacker said to those who had expressed displeasure at his statements: "I hope it's your family members that die when terrorists strike."

Why do they get away with this bullshit. If a democrat said something that disgusting the wingnuts would cum all over themselves beating it to death. They are so fucking vile it's sick.
Jason is right - - Democrats say things in oblique, indirect, symbolic ways (barely expressing a recognizable position sometimes!) and the asshole right-wing and their echo-chamber in the SCLM portray it as everything evil in the universe! Repukes actually SAY -- directly and unmistakeably -- mean, nasty, evil things and the MSM just chuckles nervously, maybe gets a half-hearted apology (at best) and things are back to 'normal'.
That representative should be hauled out of the House and dumped in the trash.
CAn we use extraordinary rendition to bring asshats like this home and lock them in a basement so they can't embarrass the holy hell out of the rest of us any further?
Maybe Dana is feeling a Dolittle chill about now, his poow widdle newves are on edge....
i'm remembering that scene in "independence day" when bill pullman asks the alien "what would you have us do?" and the alien says: "DIE! DIE! DIIIIEEEE!"
great foreign policy playbook there.
