Coburn bashes Fox, praises Pelosi
The American Thinker ^ | April 09, 2010 | Greg Halvorson

Posted on 04/10/2010 3:51:03 AM PDT by Scanian

Perhaps it's the political zeitgeist these days, but statements made by Tom Coburn (R-OK) at a recent townhall are puzzling. Coburn, speaking before constituents, one of whom expressed concern over jail should she reject ObamaCare, turned into a mouthpiece of fawning progressivism.

Coburn is conservative. According to his web-site:

Dr. Coburn's priorities in the Senate include reducing wasteful spending, protecting your liberty, balancing the budget, improving health care access and affordability, protecting the sanctity of all human life - including the unborn - and representing traditional Oklahoma values.

Seems clear. Not so clear, however, are his defense of Pelosi and his stab at Fox News. Said Coburn of the speaker:

"She's a nice lady." (Boos and hisses) "Come on, she's nice. How many of you have met her? ..."

I’ll be honest. I have never met Nancy Pelosi.

Ok, so what if she really is a nice lady?

Nice lady or not, she’s putting my family in grave danger.

Pelosi? A nice lady?

Coburn is proof that the Stupid Party known as the GOP is alive and well......especially when it comes to being out-of-touch.

And Hitler loved his dog, Blondi. Is it relevant whether Pelosi is capable of being polite or whether Hitler was capable of being kind to animals? Both Hitler and Pelosi are phenomenally evil, and Pelosi has already managed to do more damage to my country during her three years in power than Hitler did to America in his entire life. Sorry, but I don't want to hear anything nice about Pelosi until she is no longer a danger to America, to our Constitution, and to freedom.

It’s starting to sound as though Coburn has been in office too long.

Somebody obviously spiked Coburn’s drink with LSD.

My 13 year old daughter recently did a paper on Mussolini and in one of the many books on him it read...”for all of Mussolini’s faults, he loved his daughters very much”. Even my 13 year old said “And”?!”So”?!

He, himself, reads two newspapers, the New York Times and the Washington Post, because listening to both sides puts things in context, and knowing different views "makes you a better person."

He thinks that presents him with both side of this debate?

What an out of touch ass.

If you go to The Authority, you’ll know exactly how to judge correctly: “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” - Matt. 7:16

It’s what she’s done that tells you what she is.

I sometimes wonder if the STUPIDITY of the republicans knows no bounds?

The devil was nice as he could be to EVE when he convinced her to take a bite too!

How well has being nice and polite served the GOP, when the other side goes for the jugular every chance they get? What is he thinking?

I am not at all equating Pelosi with Hitler, but Hitler had nice personal manners and initially might have been said to be a nice man. Having nice manners means nothing.

I never met Hitler either. That doesn't make Hitler a nice man. Is Coburn the idiot grandchild of Neville Chamberlain?

Here is one US Senator who has actually got a brain:
Inhofe: “There's nothing nice” about Pelosi”
