Democrat Congressman worries US Navy will cause Guam to tip over, for real.

[Guest]

Here is the esteemed Democrat Congressman Johnson from Georgia's 4th District worrying that the Navy's plans for Guam will overload the island and cause it to tip over. This learned man also voted for Obamacare. I'd say we're in good hands; wouldn't you?

To this day, military historians are baffled as to why the Japanese didn't just tip over all the islands they captured after they started losing territory after the Battle of Midway. This maneuver could have effectively neutralized the American advance and is widely considered one of the biggest strategic blunders of all time.

:1rotfl: OMG Donna. I wish I'd said that. RichieLion, I saw the video earlier and wondered how Adm. Robert Willard kept a straight face. This is the same man who, responding to Rep. Joe Wilson's "you lie" remark, wanted Wilson censured and argued that the comment had an unseen racial undertone and that, if Wilson was not formally rebuked, "We will have people with white hoods running through the countryside again."

Thanks BK. I have to admit I had help with that one. My other half and I came up with a few good ones this afternoon.

I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair reading your response. Thank you and your "better half" for the guffaws. It's good to keep our sense of humor now in this country and if we listen to a few more of these Democrats we'll have to hold our sides in.

The Japanese are smaller and lighter than most Americans. Could this be the reason.

This is the same guy that replaced that other genius, Cynthia McKinney.

The Congressman now claims it was a joke. Says his humor was 'sublt' and that, since he's been to Guam, he knew it couldn't PHYSICALLY capsize - he was being metaphorical.

Now, according to CBS News, the people of Guam aren't concerned about the congressman - they are more concerned with the Admiral's response.

Guam's governor and lieutenant governor, however, take issue with a comment Adm. Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific Command, made during the same hearing.


"This is the farthest west U.S. terrority that we own. This is part of our nation," Willard said, explaining why the military chose to send 8,000 more Marines to Guam.


Guam Gov. Felix Camacho thinks Willard owes the people of Guam an apology for saying the United States "owns" Guam, Kuam News reports.


Lt. Gov. Michael Cruz said, "This is not just a base, this is our home. We want to make sure that this home continues to be a home we're all going to want to be a part of and to live in the quality of life that any other American citizen would want."

Yes, I was waiting for the Lamestream media to spin it the other way and try to make the military look bad. Typical.

No he was being stupid.

How is it that every time one of those Libs say something really really stupid, the media and their cronies have to explain what they really really meant. Why don't they say what they mean in the first instance. It would seem that you can not take anything that the Dems say at face value as the Lame street Media will always find a way to explain away the stupidity of those making the asinine remark and attempt to make them look intelligent. That is, only when the story is picked up by the news services and John Q. Public really really sees the Dems for what they really really are. Really really Ignorant and Arrogant.

How sad, for a U.S. Congressman to be so stupid as to put himself in a position where he has to make such a lame rebuttal.

Did you listen to the clip? There was no trace of humor and no sense of metaphor in his voice.

With respect to Bob Dylan:
"You can fool all of the people, some of the time,
You can fool some of the people all of the time,
Abraham Lincoln said that!
But you can't fool me,....I said that!"

Whatever, your generalization that all Democrats are arrogant and ignorant might be the most ignorant statement posted in a long time. You make it sound that the Republicans are the intelligent party,give me a break.

I guess you think Hannity is really smart when he makes the following statement to tea party members"what we have here are Tim McVeigh wannabes." That's a n intelligent thing to say. To make matters worse the intelligent teapartiers all cheer. Cheering for a mass murderer of innocent Americans,now that's smart. Give me a break!

Apparently, you missed some of Hannity's appearence or, apparently, you don't realize sarcasm when you see it. Hannity also told a small gathering before the show that the Tea Party movement is legitimate and will withstand mounting attacks from its opponents on the left. He said, "We've got veterans, we've got stay-at-home moms, people who really don't like the direction of the country. They're speaking out and they've been compared to terrorists, Tim McVeigh-wannabes. They've been called un-American. They've been called every name in the book. Now, the latest attack is that these people are violent. So, Hannity was definitely using sarcasm when he referred to his audience as "McVeigh-wannabes." Know your facts!

sar·casm   /ˈsɑrkæzəm/ Show Spelled[sahr-kaz-uhm]
–noun
1.harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2.a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: a review full of sarcasms.



Sean Hannity was referring to Juan Williams comments on O'Reilly. Talking about the Tea Partiers and the Don't Tread on Me flags...

WILLIAMS: "No, no, no. But it’s taken away- it’s taken away- obviously, it’s not the same flag. It’s not the flag that you see flying up in the New England states. It’s a separate flag- it’s a new flag that they have created. But it’s the same imagery that was on Timothy McVeigh, you know? I mean, this is the kind of thing that’s worrisome to me. I don’t see how you can get away from it."

As OReilly would say, what a bunch of flapdoodle Waynet.

is party dictate. For those who oppose the tea parties, please enlighten us in some amount of detail what you and your party call their gatherings, protests or get togethers.
Just like pulling the string in the dolls neck to regurgitate the party cliche' of the day.

This is taken out of context. A few moments before this statement, Hannity quoted a spokeman on the Left who called Tea Parties "a bunch of Timothy McVeigh wannabes." So Hannity was lifting that statement as sarcasm. This is similar to using the attack by Obama on conservatives as "bitter people who cling to their bibles and guns." Hannity and others will happily throw this back in his face by calling themselves, sarcastically, "Bitter clingers."

Oh I most certainly did. That's why I said he 'claimed' to have been making a joke. I should have emphasized the word 'claim' more.

As a joke teller, my advice to him is "Don't quit your day job".

As a politician, my advice is to "find an honorable exit - you're not doing your constituents any favors".

[Guest]

so it's sarcasm when Hannity or some other republican says something stupid but it's just a democrat being dumb when they say something stupid. Makes perfect sense to me. I think I'll opt for dumb rather than believe some of the garbage and outright lies coming out of republican mouths.

OMG Hannity said it as a rebuttal. The Democrats (aka progressive liberals) made the comment about the Tea Partiers and Hannity was just parroting them.
Whatever you think of Sean Hannity, he is one sharp guy who has a radio and TV show. There are no flies on him and he would never say a derogatory statement directed at the Tea Party Movement.
I think you and your talking point sources will get more desperate as November approaches.

It's only garbage and outright lies when something is taken out of context which is a typical liberal tool. BTW... did you even listen to that moron congressman. He is a democrat and got elected by democrates. Doesn't say much for being a democrate... does it?

As usual when a conversation with a liberal about an issue where there is no real defense because the matter is clear to anyone, the tactic to is highlight some comment by a conservative, or anyone for that matter, that get their opponent a little riled and get the conversation changed. The left has been doing this by saying "Bush" whenever you point out something Obama is doing, or "you defend insurance companies?", when you try to point out that Democrats are in the process of taking away their rights and bankrupting our country. Change the subject and count on conservatives to be more polite than they are is a liberal tactic and practiced parry. It makes me sometimes just throw up my hands in disgust and frustration and, again, it's what the liberal apologist aimed to do.

Your right, we shouldn't take the bait. Democrats will never change. Like the our wise Ex Vice President said with a straight face ,"A zebra doesn't change its spots."

Whatever a Republican says gets a no from the Democrat party of no.

Whatever a Conservative says gets a no from the Liberal party of no.

Whatever a Prolifer says gets a no from the pro death party of no.

The scary part is they walk among us and in Congressman Johnson's case....actually make decisions that affect us.
