PFAW: Gohmert: Obama Using Immigrants To Dilute Votes Of People Who Know How To Keep 'Republic Going

[pampango]

Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, speculated in a radio interview yesterday that President Obama wants to increase the number of skilled-worker visas in order to “dilute” the American voting pool with people who haven’t “been educated about the responsibilities of keeping a republic going.”

Discussing H-1B visas with Virginia talk radio host John Fredericks, Gohmert said, “Wow, John, it’s like the president has some idea that he wants to just dilute people that have been educated about the responsibilities of keeping a republic going out there voting, Isn’t that a crazy idea.”

Gohmert and Fredericks also expressed frustration that the House GOP leadership has yet to move to defund Planned Parenthood after the release of a series of videos smearing the organization, which both said was just bringing America closer to a “day of reckoning.”

“People are starting to feel that there’s going to be a day of reckoning for all this stuff,” Fredericks said, “whether it’s $20 trillion in debt, $123 trillion of unfunded mandates, or 60 million abortions since Roe v. Wade, and now dismembering babies. I mean, there’s going to be a day of reckoning, it always happens throughout history.”

2. Try saying that in the original German, Louie.

Full credit and eternal thanks to Mollie Ivins for that deathless line (she originally used it against Pat Buchanan, way back when).

3. The fucking racist liars and their lying enabling media will meet a day of reckoning, as their flag did.

4. The dog-whistle word here is "dilute"

which translates into Glenbeckistani as "social and racial impurity": because only straight elderly whites vote "overwhelmingly" GOP.
