Two congressional lunatics

Last Friday the right-wingnuts of the Republican party hit rock bottom. At a so-called "press conference" organized by House Republican leaders, queen of the lunatics Michele Marie Bachman of Minnesota presided over a pathetic teabag-style rally. Right behind her ladyship stood her equally crazy lady-in-waiting, Virginia Foxx of North Carolina. Their disgusting standard, held high in the crowd, had a photo of a pile of Holocaust victims' bodies with the words "National Socialist HealthCare: Dachau, Germany - 1945."

Sadly, even Minority Leader John Boehner took part in this idiotic outrage, as did Minority Whip Eric Cantor and lots of other Republican Reps.

On Fox "News" they said 20 to 45 thousand people showed up. Someone on J. Gordon Liddy's program said 1,000,000 The local police counted 4,000.

If anyone reading this does not know who Bachman and Foxx are, read on.

Bachman has said that Barack Obama "may have anti-American views."

Another Bachman doozy: “The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. It’s all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax,"

And there's this: "Any of you who have members of your family that are in the lifestyle – we have a member of our family that is. This is not funny. It’s a very sad life. It’s part of Satan, I think, to say this is gay. It’s anything but gay.”

Then there is Virginia Foxx.

Foxx has said that Democratic health reform would mean that seniors would be "put to death by their government."

She claims that "there are no Americans who don't have health care."

And this: Healthcare reform is a greater threat to the US than "any terrorist right now in any country."

Foxx said that Matthew Shepard's murder was a hoax. (In 1998, two young gay-haters tied Shepard to a fence in a remote area, tortured him, smashed his head with a pistol and left him hanging there to die.)

Actual members of the Congress of these United States.

Absolute rock bottom.
