Iowa Radio Host Says Nuns Should Be “Pistol Whipped”; GOP Congressman Laughs!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Today on the Iowa conservative radio show “Mickelson in the Morning,” host Jan Mickelson had on Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) to talk about the Nuns on the Bus tour and the Ryan budget. Objecting to the tour, Mickelson asked Latham whether he had any power to pull over the bus and “pistol whip” the nuns:

While Congressman Latham doesn’t express outright support for Mickelson’s statement, he seems unfazed by the suggestion and happy to laugh off this grotesque call for violence on women religious. It’s unacceptable for anyone, let alone an elected representative, to tacitly condone suggestions of violence. Rep. Latham should apologize and clarify that he would never support “pistol whipping” religious siste

2. All of the talk of violence from some conservatives is starting to make me nervous.

From locking up and executing homosexuals, hanging the President in effigy, and now pistol whipping nuns to the tea baggers showing up with their guns at "open carry" events, should liberals start to really worry?

5. Don't worry --

prepare. I started preparing when the teaboogers started carrying guns to rallies. Worry doesn't resolve anything.

3. Wait Until Someone Actually Whips A Conservative Silly.

When they talk like they are the other side has to leave all options on the table. They are calling code for someone to actually take action. You have to take that seriously. The fact that no one is challenging the talk is a problem. It should be aggressively confronted in NO uncertain terms.

4. The problem is that those who would confront, are not allowed on media. Only those who won't are.

6. Funny how quickly the image of pistol whipping someone comes into the head of .....

so called "Conservatives". "Fascist wannabes" is so much more accurate.
