Was I the only one who heard Rep. Hoekstra say Obama when talking about radical Islam?

[sabra]

Rep. Hoekstra just spewed about 5 minutes of Islamophobia, which consisted with BushCo's favorite talking point of quoting the "terrorists". I swear at one point Hoekstra said Obama when referring to one of those evil ones?

:crazy:

1. I heard that, too.

:eyes:

[Hissyspit]

2. He did indeed say Obama instead of Osama. I heard it. No question about it.

He was quoting Osama bin Laden about wanting us out of the Holy Lands.

[lancdem]

4. That's intentional, I'm sure

Pretend it was a slip of the tongue, but we know better.

[sabra]

7. it seemed like he paused for a second, and then decided to go on

with out making any correction

[Skidmore]

16. I think he was waiting for a Dem to stand up and ask that the last word be struck

and when that didn't happen, he decided to do it again. He repeated this 3 or 4 times with no protest.

[Hissyspit]

8. Well, he certainly didn't correct himself.

Even if it is a slip of the tongue, it is a slip of the tongue that our elected leaders better quit making NOW. Inexcusable.

3. I caught that too.

Along with his "eeek!!" end of the world blithering.

[patrice]

5. There is that oh-so-convenient similarity between Obama and Osama.

You know they will exploit that at every opportunity.

[sabra]

6. Rep. Ros-Lehtinen is now also quoting the "terrorists"

wonder if she will have the same slip...

[w8liftinglady]

9. Hoekstra actually had 17 minutes of time(I have TIVO)

what's up with that?

[salin]

10. just reading the description I can almost see wild eyes

and spittle flying during the diatribe. Someone else posted that he said something to the effect that we were in danger of becoming a Caliphate? Is he insane? Does he really think that our military is so weak that if we were 'invaded' that we would become the occupyees (sp)? Reminds me of the overthetop talk about how HUGE a threat Nicaragua was to the US in the eighties - because from small Nicaragua "they" were going to march through (take over?) Mexico and then try to take us over. The scenario was ludicrous. As is the one the current wingnuts try to paint.

[crikkett]

11. the word you wanted was...

"occupied". We would become the occupied.

Cheers!

[salin]

12. indeed it was...

thanks - the right form just wasn't coming to me.

Cheers back at ya!

[crikkett]

13. happens to me all the time.

I was in a grammatically correct mood yesterday :)

[malaise]

14. I heard it during the repeat on

CSpan i this morning. I also heard him say Democrat Party. Fugg him.

[Skidmore]

15. I posted this earlier today.

and this is my thread yesterday about his floor speech, although I didn't catch the Obama slam until I saw the rerun this morning on CSPAN.
