This is really big news!
Wingnut Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer, who famously shouted out "Baby Killer" during the speech Bart Stupak was giving the other night said he has had a "tremendous outpouring" of calls, emails, and contributions, with those folks saying, "'Congressman, thank you for taking a stand.'"
This is really big news, of course, because, No one would ever guess that would happen. Yeah, sure.
After all we do have lots of wackos in our country, for whom a little bit of decorum in the Congress is nothing. You see them during every hearing. Somehow they're able to sneak in with a 50 foot banner and a tray of cream pies. Each of these people do have supporters somewhere.
When the guy flew his plane into the IRS building in Texas, even Congressmen (such as Steve King) had words of empathy for his cause. If you killed any official in this country -- any one of them -- there'd be a whole subset of wackos who would rejoice about that. They'd be sending in emails, making calls, and sending contributions. Mark it down, it's a fact.
When Joe Wilson made his famous outburst, "You Lie!", he made what? A couple million off that. Because there's plenty of wackos out there who will gladly reward bad behavior.
It doesn't make it right. But none of these people care about right and wrong anymore. Remember that someday when the Republicans try to tell us again that they're "the Responsibility Party." LOL.
