GOP Rep. Floats New Conspiracy Theory: Obama Ousted Qaddafi ‘So Al-Qaeda Could Take Over’

[Canuckistanian]

As if it weren’t enough that members of the Republican Party spent much of President Obama’s first term accusing him of being a crypto-Manchurian Candidate who was born in Kenya, one GOP congressman is floating a new conspiracy theory: Obama only helped oust former Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi so al-Qaeda could take over.

Appearing on Frank Gaffney’s anti-Muslim radio show, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) launched into a lengthy tirade criticizing the Obama administration’s decision to provide air support in the international campaign against Qaddafi last year. Rather than acknowledging that Obama launched the mission to stave off a looming massacre in Misrata, the Texas Republican saw a hidden, pernicious reason for the intervention. “This administration sent planes and bombs and support to oust Qaddafi so that al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood could take over Libya,” said Gohmert.

2. They don't get a lot dumber than Gomer

His pathetic ease at getting reelected really doesn't do much to help the perception of the average intelligence of residents of his district does it?

3. What astounds me

Is that this nutcase was once a judge.

7. Elected three times and then appointed

by the one man in Government known to be his intellectual equal, Rick Perry, to the Governor's rubber stamp aka Texas 12th court of appeals.

If this wacko's career path doesn't show how dumb the concept of electing judges is nothing will.

He's as dumb as a bag of hammers and twice as ugly as my Grandfather would have said.

4. It amzes me that ...

on the one hand, President Obama is the most incompetent, out of his depth, affirmative action hire, ever; but can attribute to him, the engineering of the most complex schemes, ever.

In the words of a Michigant politico (referring to a tea-party former mayor):

I don't know ... I can't get into her head; but even if I could, I wouldn't want to ... that must be a very noisey place.
