Mean Jean Schmidt, R-Oh-2, takes her shot at John Murtha
This right-wing diatribe of racist stereotyping and phobias would be funny if she wasn't running our government.

Spew it, Jean:

SCHMIDT: I'm Jean Schmidt. I'm from the 2nd District in Ohio. I'm the newest person on the block. And this morning I spent time at the Arlington National Cemetery watching, witnessing, being part of a funeral of one of my fallen heroes in my district.

SCHMIDT: And I walked away from there seeing the glorious graves of the people that have fought for our freedom more resolved than ever to make sure we keep the enemy on their shore and not ours. You know, you all are not getting the big picture. The big picture is that these Islamic insurgents want to destroy us. They don't like us. They don't like us because we're black, we're white, we're Christian, we're Jew, we're educated, we're free, we're not Islamic. We can never be Islamic because we were not born Islamic. Now, this isn't the Islamic citizens. These are the insurgents. And it is their desire for us to leave so they can take over the whole Middle East and then take over the world. And I didn't learn this just in the last few weeks or the last few months. I learned this when I was at the University of Cincinnati in 1970, studying Middle Eastern history. And I was told by a very valuable professor, one that I still remember, Wie Zuefabushi (ph). He was Palestinian. He said, If we don't create freedom in that region it's going to come back and attack us. And this was during Vietnam, when everybody thought the issue was Vietnam. And he said, No, the issue is not Vietnam, it's the Middle East, it's Islamic insurgents that will come back and destroy us.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, 9/11 proved that they can come here and they can attack us. We must continue the course, not just for the sake of the soldiers that have given their time, their talents and their lives to protect our freedom, but for ourselves and our children.

We are the best nation in the world, and it is incumbent upon us at all levels, whether we are soldiers, whether we are in Congress, or whether we are the press, to protect our freedom.

I'm doing it. The soldiers are doing it. I hope my Democratic colleagues will do it. And I hope you will, too.

Thank you.

2. Boo!! Mean Jean is trying to scare everyone.
". . . these Islamic insurgents want to destroy us."

Jean has known this since 1970 when she learned it from a UC professor; and she's sharing it with us now, 35 years later.

And we have to "create" freedom in the Middle East. Gee, I thought the Iraqis slept at night with visions of Thomas Jefferson dancing in their heads. I was wrong -- Jean says we have to CREATE freedom.

If those insurgents come over here, they'll get her Mercedes and her mink coat (she and her twin sister have matching mink coats) and probably learn about capitalism in the process of destroying us.

The worst part is that down here in SW Ohio believe this garbage; they're expecting those insurgents to begin marching up I-75 any day now, tugging along their nuclear weapons.

Just shut up, Jean. Shut. Up.

Boo!



:scared:

And will be worth it again.

Mean Jean Schmidt. Unbelievable. Check out this thread about the crap she pulled on the House floor minutes ago:

She's apologizing live, now. :eyes:

She just moved to have her words withdrawn. How convenient.
