CA: Pete Stark (D) left scathing voice mail for a military constituent

KSFO Morning Radio Program ^ | 5/7/4 | Varmint Al

[Varmint Al]

I heard this on KSFO this morning. They have played the recording at least 3 times already. Can anyone fill in the details? An active military constituent wrote Pete Stark asking about his recent NO vote on the congressional resolution of yesterday. Congressman Pete Stark (D) called back and left the voice mail belittling the person and using foul language. Sussman and Morgan, the hosts, are going to get the recording to Rush this morning. Don’t miss the rest of the KSFO, 560AM on the dial, morning program. Maybe someone will have the capability to make a .wav file of the recording. They are calling for Pete Stark to resign!

Sounds like old Fortney's M.O.

[skeeter]

Same MO alright - insane ramblings laced with profanity.

[jmstein7]

Oh goodie!

[Phantom Lord]

Someone bump me if an audio file is posted.

[amom]

Thanks for the post VA. This should prove interesting.

Tonk, I thought you might be interested in this one.

Plus the threats. He has threatened to "kick the a$$" of a few legislators who have disagreed with him. I cannot recall who it was, but one time he allgedly charged another congressman in the hallway after a debate because this particular congressman had the gall to go against old Fortney.

Bookmark hoping for downloadable audio

[holymoly]

Is there a transcript of the call yet?

[GSWarrior]

I heard it. Very paranoid rantings, especially the part where Stark suggests someone put him (the soldier) up to it....whatever "it" is.

Here is The Letter that prompted the Voice Mail:

http://www.ksfo560.com/listingsentryfeature.asp?ID=209279&PT=KSFO+Spotlight

A listener wrote a letter to Congressman Pete Stark, D-Fremont: 

Pete Stark
House of Representatives
239 Cannon HOB
Washington D.C. 20515


Dear Mr. Stark,

I am appalled that you voted against today's House Resolution 627, Roll Number 150. This measure would have shown publicly that you condemn the abuse of the prisoners in Iraq while simultaneously commend the service of the fine men and women who are serving in Iraq that bring honor to the uniform that they wear and to the Nation that they serve.

There are many Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Coastguardmen from your 13th Congressional District who are serving with pride and distinction . These men and women bring great credit upon their hometowns and the State of California.

Your "NO" vote is an indication that you do not support the troops who selflessly serve our nation and in many cases have given the ultimate sacrifice so that you might have the freedom that you enjoy as a citizen of this great Nation. Further, your "NO" vote on this resolution is a disgrace to the people of this district who have elected you.

I urge you to stop your contemptuous display of bitter partisanship and your politicization of this War. Your actions are very divisive and destructive to the morale of our troops and the morale of our nation. I know that a majority of the population of the 13th Congressional District are very strong in their support of our soldiers and in their support of the War in iraq. Your "NO" vote today reflects that you are way out of touch with the people of this district.

Very Sincerely,

Daniel L. Dow

unbelievable... just listened to the audio file... A Congressman actually said that on tape???

Sounds like someone is going to be in a heap of trouble here...

[BibChr]

Good heavens. I don't have the polite words. It simply is astonishing what is happening to the Dems. It's like they were in bad shape before Clinton, but with their decision to support him at all costs, they lost not only their souls but whatever was left of their entire intellectual and moral apparatus to boot.

What a low-rent, slope-headed, single-helix, pre-limbic mutoid.

Thank you.

Thank you for the link. I just made my first monetary campaign contribution of the year!

While I'd like to believe that, I'm skeptical, since after all he is a Democrat. In my district in Northern Virginia, we've got a Congressman (Jim Moran) who has beaten his wife, roughed up a 10-year old kid in the street, and insulted Jewish constituents with his remarks about Israel - and these are only a few of his reported incidents. Yet, because he is a Democrat, I assume he'll sail back to the Hill with yet another re-election.
