Pete Stark was over the top in his remarks about Bush and his enjoyment of the suffering he causes

[Stinky The Clown]

And its about damned time someone was!

Thank you, Congressman Stark. I'm not one of your constituents, but I can still say I want to shake your hand and clap you on the back.

Memo to Pete's leaders: If you feel obliged to say something to Mr. Stark, make sure we NEVER find out about it. I can understand why some would prefer that Mr. Stark never said what he said.

I'm not one of them.

I had a taste for red meat today. Mr. Stark served it just the way I like it.

1. i don't think he'll back down and i think he did his job, he represents the people

in his district and i bet he's been hearing from them alot.

[Lugnut]

24. I hope he doesn't back down.

Some people can't handle the truth.

[NanceGreggs]

2. Couldn't possibly agree with you more!!!

It IS about time - in fact, it is well past due.

[orpupilofnature57]

3. Well said , by both of you!! Shrub is the Misanthrope president.

[bdamomma]

4. and they (Bohner) wants him to apologize for what he said

what about what Bohner said maybe a month ago or two months ago, about our troops something about a small price or something like that, these guys can go to hell, they smear anyone who mentions the truth, while they get away with saying shit and no one says anything.

[OzarkDem]

to those whom Rush refers to as "phony soldiers"?

the only one Stark insulted was Bush. His words were in defense of our military being asked to die for an unnecessary war.

[dflprincess]

5. I loved every word he said

It's way past the time someone said it for the record.

I think I'll add the old coot to my future husbands list.

[Middle finga]

6. All the grinning and smirking the buffoon do at his press conferences

he do give the impression that war is funny to him. Rep. Starks' comments were not that far fetched IMHO.

[DesertFlower]

7. i agree with congressman stark.

that being said, you know the repubs are going to spin it.

[TahitiNut]

8. To be fair, when he said "heads blown off for the president's amusement" ...

... he was referring to Cheney as much as or more than Junior. I don't think it was over the top at all. Cheney is the sociopath and that's the stuff that amuses him ... Junior (NPD poster boy) just feeds on the attention and reactions.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. I don't think he was over the top. Don't forget Shrub joked about the execution of

Karla Faye Tucker. He loves death.

[Justitia]

10. Amen, my brother. Pete Stark told them the truth & it hit it's mark. The truth hurts. -eom

[MrMickeysMom]

11. Here here!

Watching Olberman tonight, he had Jonathan Alter on, who thought it WAS over the top. What a twerp.

Hey Jonathan, did you hear me yell to you at that point to kiss my entire ass?

I hope the general reaction continues not only to go over the top, but go all the way over the river and through the friggen WOODS to grandmother's house.

Ab-so-fucking-lultely soon...

[tularetom]

12. Goddamn right - music to the ears

of all of us who have been alert for any hint of a spine within the Democratic caucus. Already the "centrists' are tsk tsking about Mr Stark's terminology and I say to them fuck you. It's your cowardice that have brought things to the point where this good man feels he must speak out in this manner.

I watched Newsweek enabler Joanathan Alter on Countdown tonight taking Stark to task for being (gasp) "Over the top". And I thought, ya know I never saw this suckass say rush limbaugh was "over the top" when he trashed a 12 year old kid for being helped by SCHIP or that coultergeist was "over the top' for any one of the many outbursts of verbal diarrhea we've heard from her. and I thought well, if it pisses off some pussy insider like jonathan alter, it's fine with me.

BTW, Rachel Maddow came on next and defended Mr Stark's words, and pooh poohed alter's prediction of non acceptance among the Dems.

How low have we sunk when we get this ecstatic when ONE out of several hundred of our reps shows he has cojones.

[Coexist]

13. Amen.

and I'm a vegetarian.

[NancyBreen]

14. I was inspired by watching him on MSNBC this

afteroon that I had to send him an email thanking him for speaking out for me and the rest of us out here.:toast: :bounce: :grouphug:

[Disturbed]

15. The WMDs skit of Busholini says it all.

Thousands of people died & were maimed because of the WMDs lie. Busholini does a skit about not finding them & the Corp. Media jerk-offs laugh. Yeah, hilarious.

[ClayZ]

16. K and R

[kestrel91316]

17. I'm totally with you, Stinky!!!!!!

[kineneb]

18. he speaks truth to power. Keep it up Rep. Stark! nt.

[Cha]

19. To borrow a username on DU..

THE TRUTH HURTS A LOT!

[mitchtv]

20. OMG! There's a Democrat in Congress

they've been hiding, it seems

[defendandprotect]

21. We certainly enjoyed hearing Stark's comments --- loved it !!!!

[shireen]

22. i just dropped him a note

to say thank you. I saw that clip on Countdown, and my jaw dropped! WOW!

[Didereaux]

23. Way to go Stark!!!!!! n/t
