Arkansas GOP: 2nd Amendment Gives Us Right To Walk Up & Shoot Representatives Who Disagree With Us

[kpete]

Quote of the Day



........................

"We need to let those who will come in the future to represent us [know] that we are serious. The 2nd amendment means nothing unless those in power believe you would have no problem simply walking up and shooting them if they got too far out of line and stopped responding as representatives. It seems that we are unable to muster that belief in any of our representatives on a state or federal level, but we have to have something, something costly, something that they will fear that we will use if they step out of line."

-- From the April newsletter of the Benton County, Arkansas Republican Party.

1. What can possibly be said in response to something so fundamentally wrong?

I can't think of the words right now. WOW!

2. Wait...this guy is saying citizens should shoot politicians who don't act

...as representatives of the people? Uh, be careful what you ask for, dumbass. Every Rebublican member of the Senate just went against the will of 92% of the public. Does that count as "stopped responding as representatives"?

3. his caveat:

If we can’t shoot them, we have to at least be firm in our threat to take immediate action against them politically, socially, and civically if they screw up on something this big. Personally, I think a gun is quicker and more merciful, but hey, we can’t.

4. The irony is-the first part of that statement is used by rightwing extremists.Ask Dr. Tiller.

Ask the killers of Dr. Tiller.

All because of the 2nd. Because of the NRA. Because of the love of guns/bullets.

REINTERPRET THE 2ND.

5. I sort of like the idea of legislators being afraid of their constituents

But jesus, WTF is wrong with that asshole?

It would be bad enough to say something like that in a bar after ten drinks but to put in in writing and post it in a blog right in front of God and everybody should make it obvious that you are not only a brain dead cretin, but probably a danger to yourself and others and should probably be commited.

6. What could possibly go wrong?

These people are truly lunatics.
