U.S. Rep. Conyers: “Rational Abilities” of Tea Partiers are “Compromised”

[MichCapCon]

In an interview, U.S. Representative John Conyers, D-Detroit, repeatedly referred to anti-government activists as "tea baggers" and said that their "rational abilities" are "compromised" because of their anger.

"We are here now to understand the frustration of the tea baggers and the people who are angry," said Conyers. "Many times when you're angry, your rational abilities are compromised."

The comments came at the Michigan Democratic Party endorsement convention.

Conyers, who is Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, turned the conversation towards the tea parties and the recent health care bill after being asked how Democrats could remain in contention in Michigan.

"The facts are, many of the tea baggers that were hollering and being profane and screaming and using profanity...guess what? They are going to be beneficiaries [of the health care bill]."

Exactly... how's that hope and change working out for you there John?

Has your wife been released yet from jail?

Compromised? Please....

[peeps36]

He's as dumb and dirty as dirt. Someone should tell him to spit the marbles out of his mouth so we could understand what he says. He sounds like a punch drunk boxer. What the hell are bee baggers?

[MrB]

...shut up, or you don't get healtcare

This is the WHOLE POINT of Healthcare Control.

[MrB]

0bama has already stated, in a 2004 interview,
that he doesn’t favor anything called “reparations”
or any single “one check” reparations policy
because it “lets America off the hook”.

He said he preferred nationalized healthcare and free education for minorities, because those programs would
be in perpetuity.

And guess what? Both were in the Healthcare Control bill.

[MrB]

Google “imprecatory prayer”,
and pray it for Conyers.

“The facts are, many of the tea baggers that were hollering and being profane and screaming and using profanity...guess what? They are going to be beneficiaries [of the health care bill].”

Like that old saying, "I'm from Missouri"...PROVE IT OR SHUT UP, CONYERS. You sit there on your high horse using disgusting pornography obscenities to describe a large portion of AMERICANS...race baiting and all kinds of other lies! You are a big fat LIAR. Yes, I'm calling YOU a LIAR. Just exercising my First Amendment Rights there!!

GIVE US AUDIO/VIDEO EVIDENCE OF YOUR ALLEGATIONS AGAINST DECENT AMERICAN CITIZENS, then maybe we'll let you give us the time of day! Until then, you are a blathering pornographic idiot. < spits in disgust >

[Lazamataz]

This is satire, right? Please, oh please tell me it’s satire. No one can be that stupid....

Nossir. Satire is now impossible.

I wonder if they affectionately put their hands on opposite sides of the glass.

Exactly!! We can't fight this great battle against corruption in our government WITHOUT God's help!

Found this great explanation at Imprecatory Prayer Psalm 35

When any prayer is answered we have joy, but when the answer stops the attacks of the enemy our praise should be unceasing, or as David said, "praise all day long."

We hope that we never need to pray for the Lord to punish evildoers who are harming us, but sometimes that is the only way to find relief. Righteous imprecatory prayer is the last hope of the patient, innocent, faithful saint.

Use of this type of prayer may not be a pleasant thought, but the grave sin of evil men spoils many things. Imprecatory prayer is one of the helps God extends to us in times of such need."

Hey John...how’s the wife?

[tflabo]

Ahhh yes... nothing but the best and brightest minds among us makes it to the vaunted halls of DC.

[Dallas59]

[ldish]

evil democrat talking points...monica klinton was saying basically the same thing over the weekend...prower grabbing a holes....they only want to control and could give a rats ass about the country or individuals rights...how i hate these people

[cardinal4]

he probably made the call that started the investigation..

[Trajan88]

Wasn’t it Conyers (or maybe it was tax cheat Charlie Rangle?) that initiated mock impeachment proceedings against President Bush?

[chris_bdba]

Well then if we are comprimised then they are definately compromised in the truth department! Isn’t his wife a perfect example of this?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Conyers? You mean the guy who thinks the Constitutional authority for universal health care comes from the “Good and Welfare” Clause?

While it may be true that angry "Tea Baggers" have temporarily compromised abilities just think this poor soul has never had any appreciable rational capabilities.

OH PLEEEEZE... will these morons ever figure out that we are NOT absorbing or paying any attention to their propaganda, although, it is “amusing” to watch them squirm like a bunch of worms? He’s such a gasbag.

The misfits from the left have been re-engineering words for many years...nothing new. Does anyone remember when “gay” used to mean light-hearted and happy? When the rainbow was in reference to a covenant that God made with Noah? Now it’s a symbol for gay people. “Bad”, now it is used in slang to mean good.

So now they have taken the word teabag and changed the meaning into yet another queer slang-word? In my opinion, gay people are spending way too much time and energy changing the meaning of existing words. Why don’t they just stick with original words like “butt pirate” and “fudge packer”? Those words are much more descriptive of their sexuality, IMO.
