One Day Later, Republican Congressman Finally Condemns Obama Assassination Joke

Comments

Translated response:

"I deeply regret that my inaction was recorded and distributed by the media."

I don't know enough about congressman Paul Broun to know if there is anything that should color our analysis of this, but in and of itself, while a day is considered a long time given our 24 hour news cycle, I find his explanation reasonable and his condemnation sufficiently voiced.

Now, Internets, please find me something to recontextualize this so I can properly vilify this Repuglican!

What he really was thinking "Well, I really do wish someone would shoot that n*ggra in the White House!"

Oh, it's a joke. Now I get it.

Ogelthorpe County, Georgia sounds like such a nice place (if you're KKK).

From the write-up included in your last post about this, he DID dignify the question with the response:

"The thing is, I know there’s a lot of frustration with this president. We’re going to have an election next year. Hopefully, we’ll elect somebody that’s going to be a conservative, limited-government president that will take a smaller, who will sign a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare."

That doesn't read like he moved on to the next person with out responding to me.

Wow. He did nothing to encourage or endorse it. He condemned it within one working day.

And yet, he is *obviously* not really sincere in his condemnation.

You people are fucking assholes. Seriously. If you think everyone with and (r) behind their name is such bad news, you are condemning a huge chunk of your fellow countrymen to that bin.

That's freshmen year bullshit.
