Traitorous Bastard Parade: Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK)

Tags:

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) “isn’t sure which side (President Obama) is on” with his “un-American” speech in Cairo.

Listen, jackass, this is our overwhelmingly-elected President you are talking about being “un-American”.  This is our Commander in Chief who you are openly wondering “which side he is on”.  Protecting your precious political career is no excuse for personal and moral cowardice, when you accuse the President of treason you should put your damn money where you fat mouth is.

I wish I didn’t keep having so many uses for that image, but you knuckleheads keep serving up the excuses.

Let me get it straight, Senator Inhofe, you are not sure whether President Obama is on the side of America, so you are not sure that he is not on the side of, for example, Al Qaeda?  Are you serious that you are unsure whether or not the President does or does not support the people who kill American citizens and soldiers and who throw acid in the faces of young girls who are impertinent to go to school?  You have trouble determining whether or not the President of the United States is on the side of the people who hijacked our planes and flew them into our buildings, or whether or not he is instead on the side of the passengers of those planes and the rescue workers who died in the Trade Center?

Brian Breuther at TPM managed to get Senator Inhofe’s communications director, Jared Young on the phone to clarify whether or not the Senator was implying that the President sided with those who would do harm to America and its citizens:

“No, no, he’s not saying that, no. He just certainly doesn’t seem to be on the side of our men and women in uniform.”

OK, you Traitorous Bastard.  You aren’t saying he is on the side of the people who kill our soldiers, you are simply saying that the President of the United States “doesn’t seem to be” on the side of our soldiers, living and dead.  I’ll tell you what – you chickenshit traitorous forked-tongued bastard – I will spare the sidestepping political doubletalk you so love to use as a weapon while decrying any personal responsibility and I’ll tell you straight what I think:

You, Senator Inhofe, are an un-American traitorous bastard.  You do not uphold or support the basic underlying tenets of the Consititution, you dishonor the Founding Fathers and you are a disgrace to the citizens you represent and the men and women of the Armed Forces who are unfortunate enough to have to rely on your decisions.  Your accusation of treason against the President of the United States is only more pathetic and offensive because of the mealy-mouthed, cowardly, backhanded, gutless way you state it.  Be a man – be a “real American” – Senator: accuse our President of treason outright and stand by your words.

    to liberate his district, similar to the move of folks from Lawrence Mass to found Lawrence KS.

    The escalation of treasonous voices from the right, will hopefully only serve to push other folks away from them and to the left or at least the center.

    Piece of history for you:

    Eight of the Doolittle Raiders were captured by the Japanese at the beginning of WWII.  They were tortured immediately.

    According to Lt. Col. Chase Neilsen, Navigator Plane #6, the first thing the Japanese did was water torture.  Shortly before his death in 2007, the Lt. Col continued to describe the following as torture:

    “The held us down and poured water down our noses.”  

    Mr. Neilsen returned to Japan in 1946 to testify in the war crimes trials.  His interrogators were convicted of war crimes and sentenced to five to nine years in prison.

    Now here is a disturbing story:

    Federal authorities in Utah are searching for a man who allegedly made threats against President Obama.

    Daniel James Murray has been charged with making threats against Obama, after telling a bank teller he was part of a “mission” to kill the president. The Secret Service says Murray has at least eight registered firearms. His whereabouts are unknown.

    Murray entered Zion’s First National Bank in St. George, Utah, May 19, to open a savings account with an $85,000 check, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Salt Lake City today.

    Murray allegedly asked if the bank was solvent and then stated, according to the complaint, “With all this mess going on under President Obama with banks and the economy, I’m sure if citizens happen to lose their money, they will rise up and we could see killing and deaths.”

    Sounds like someone who’s been watching Glenn Beck, doesn’t it?

    On May 27, the complaint states, Murray came back to withdraw $12,698 from his savings account. He did not have proper identification and was told he needed it to complete the transaction. He allegedly said, “Not to be disrespectful, but if I don’t get this money, someone is going to die.”

    The bank manager allowed the transaction, and Murray allegedly demanded bills smaller than $50 in non-sequential order.

    Murray then said, “We are on a mission to kill the president of the United States,” according to the complaint.

    Murray told the teller during that visit, the complaint added, “We are 94 million miles from the sun, and are in-between the sun and moon, and the eagle that flies between them, and it’s a giant step for mankind. … I have traveled thousands of miles to be here and know things that are going to happen. … The banking system will fail and people will die. … There will be chaos in the world.”

    The next day, according to the complaint, Murray withdrew the remaining $72,000 and closed his account.

    But perhaps the most disturbing part of the whole story is this:

    A Secret Service spokesman said there will be no further comment on the case because it involves protective intelligence.

    “This is one of a gazillion cases,” the spokesman told ABC News. “It’s not that out of the ordinary. We see this day in and day out.”

    Somehow, I find that less than comforting.

    The Salt Lake Tribune has more.

    I saw a diary about this over at Daily Kos and actually was rather dismissive about it because it was a bit hyperbolic.  I didn’t bother to check out the links because we all know that there have been and will continue to be threats against the president.

    However, this dude is well-armed and, somehow, fairly well-financed.

    The whole thing pisses me off to no end.  How long are people like Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, Beck, Hannity, O’Reilly, and Dobbs going to be allowed to use buzzwords like communist/fascist/socialist/Muslim/Anti-Christ, etc with impunity?  When is it ever appropriate for elected officials like Palin, Inhofe, Bachmannn, and goodness knows who else to accuse either a Senator or President of palling around with terrorists or wanting to send people to re-education camps or to want to control people or call him un-American?

    If, God forbid, something happens to this president I will hold each and every one of these people responsible.  Words have consequences.
