John Boehner is a dangerous idiot
Jon Stewart played the clip during his interview segment with Senator Feingold last night. Keep in mind that John Boehner is the House Majority Leader, Tom DeLay's successor, not some mentally disconnected and politically disempowered freak show on the fringes of the Republican House caucus.
Boehner on Feingold (quoted here): "Sometimes you begin to wonder if he's more interested in the safety and security of the terrorists as opposed to the American people."
Yup, this is what it's come to, a direct application of the patriotism-terrorism card. If you're with us, you're a patriot; if you're against us, you're a terrorist. That's it. They can't defend their own policies and they can't rebut criticism of those policies on the merits. So they get dirty. And, in this case, they hurl the ultimate slur of post-9/11 America: Feingold is providing aid and comfort to terrorists at the expense of the security of the American people.
I'm sorry, but this is fucking ridiculous. I know that Republicans can be so predictable, and I'm hardly surprised by this latest effort to discredit Senator Feingold, but this is utterly reprehensible.
Utterly fucking reprehensible.

I live in Boehner's district, and I'll be the first to attest to what a shitstain he is.
There be a lot of inbreeding in this district, and I figure John's probably 4th or 5th generation inbred. He makes Tom DeLay look like a scholar.

Excellent comment, Jollyroger. Boehner's a "shitstain"? Hilarious. He makes DeLay "look like a scholar"? Also hilarious (and highly disturbing).
Honestly, though, I've had enough of this bullshit. It's like Republicans have nothing left but character assassinations.

I could not believe it when I saw it. My reaction was anger. I said aloud, "What a DICK" and wished Feingold said the same thing. If I was so angry how does Feingold feel being called traitorous?
Why not just say he Boehner is a DICK? THis is a natural human reaction. All niceties aside this is what the Censure motion is about. Calling them on their BS. Saying DICK would shine some light on their fascism.
When Lieberman talks about bipartisanship and Bush is the Pres for 3 more years what makes us mad is that the Repubs do not come close to that standard. They berate, belittle and question our patriotism. TO call for bipartisanship after being fucked over so manyt times means you are unwilling to see reality.
Boehner was despicable

Let's worry less about the idiotic remarks of the Republican House, and listen more to the inspiring comments of men like Feingold. After you sort it all out, the one's with a brain, will shine

Even more than Boehner's remark, what makes me angry is that this sort of thing works. And as long as it keeps working, such remarks will continue.
Republicans have less than eight months to move the polls, or their congressional majority is dust, and Bush and Cheney will be impeached, or at the very least, seriously investigated. This campaign will not be pretty.

It's what they're good at, so they keep on doing it. The problem for them is that it's not working anymore. Bushy is right (not the Bushy in the White House but the Bushy who commented above), in the end, Feingold will shine and Boehner will be exposed as the boner he is (a dick by another name is a dick all the same).

The problem is not that Boehner made a vicious and disgusting attack on the patriotism of a fine public servant, Russ Feingold. That's SOP for the GOP. The problem is that Democrats didn't go off on Boehner. How about Feingold standing up and telling Boehner that he's a liar and a coward and an unprincipled demogogue, and looking and sounding furious while he does it? The Democrats let the Republicans do this all the time, and never hit back. Do you think that Bill Clinton would have let Boehner's remarks go? The rapid reaction squad would have filled the airways with outrage within minutes, and rightly so. By contrast, John Kerry let two weeks go by before responding to the Swift Boat Liars, and this gave the lies the chance to become so widely disseminated that they took on some credibility. Kerry was required then to play catch-up. How can we convince the American people that Democrats can defend them from terrorists when Democrats won't even defend themselves?'

Send letters to the editor with your feelings about Boehner. I'm getting sick of this world elitist and self righteousnous spun by our current administration and their media ally Rupert Murdoch. They make Americans look like idiots. We have to stop being afraid to speak out in places other than blogs. Blogs are great because they are essentially the only place to express attitudes contrary to Fox News, Clear Channel and the White House. I live in Texas, so I feel I have to be very careful about expressing my opinions. But I am getting tired of this shooting from the hip attitude of our so called leaders. More power to McCain and Colin Powell.
Here is letter I sent to the Cleveland Plian Dealer since Boehner's website would not accept it.
Dear Editor,
Please print this for the citizens of Ohio and Congressman Boehner.
Dear Congressman Boehner,
You implied that a democrat who took issue with the President's speech on 9/11/06 is "more interested in protecting terrorists than protecting
the American people". This was a quote from the Associated Press on
09/12/06.
I lived in Ohio until July, 2005 so I still feel a connection to the state. I am an American who also takes issue with the way the entire Iraq issue has been handled. I was furious about the attacks on 9/11/01 and totally supportive of our government in undertaking any operation that
would punish those responsible. I remember saying to those around me, "I can't get over the amount of support we are getting from the rest of the world. I hope our government does not take advantage of the situation." Unfortunately, we did take advantage of the situation and set the United States back years in working towards a cooperative foreign
policy. I am an American who loves this country but disagrees with our current foreign policy. Does that mean I support terrorists?
You must stop categorizing those who disagree with the administration's policies with those who would support terrorism. I believe it is
remarks like yours that weaken this country by disrespecting the American right of freedom of expression and open discussion. It is these rights, as we
were taught in school, that seperate us from those countries that limit free speech.
