Republican Rep. calls for uprising in streets against US gov over Healthcare Bill

[CptStern]

they still shoot traitors dont they?

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) urged a smaller-than-expected crowd of Tea Party protesters on Tuesday to launch a Velvet Revolution-style uprising against the federal government, saying the parallels are striking between America’s current government and Eastern European communist rule.

Speaking to the Huffington Post shortly after his speech, King declared that a peaceful uprising, a la the successful overthrowing of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia on the streets of Prague in 1989 ‘would be fine with me.’

wow an elected member of government callling for the overthrow of the federal government. sounds like treason to me!

"So this is just like Prague under communist rule?" the Huffington Post asked.

"Oh yeah, it is very, very close," King replied. "It is the nationalization of our liberty and the federal government taking our liberty over. So there are a lot of similarities there."

you heard it here first: america = communism


also he has no love for secret muslim obama:

I don't want to disparage anyone because of their race, their ethnicity, their name - whatever their religion their father might have been," I'll just say this: When you think about the optics of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected President of the United States -- I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam? I will tell you that, if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this War on Terror. Additionally, his middle name (Hussein) does matter. It matters because they read a meaning into that in the rest of the world...If he were strong on national defense and said 'I'm going to go over there and we're going to fight and we're going to win, we'll come home with a victory,' that's different. But that's not what he said. They will be dancing in the streets if he's elected president. That has a chilling aspect on how difficult it will be to ever win this Global War on Terror."

When they're in power, the republicans call mild anti-war democrats 'traitors' for 'not supporting the troops'. However the republicans are being 10x worse here and getting away with it. The whole republican party should have been utterly discredited by now, however they seem to be doing very well in polls.

**** American politics, it's utterly retarded.

Hmm, America is undergoing a communist revolution? Interesting. So when do we begin collectivising, eliminating all other parties, and throwing the wealthy into labour camps?

If they want to attempt a velvet revolution, more power to them. It's nonviolent, and most of all, it's not going to work.

The only revolution we have any need to worry about, and should worry about, is a violent revolution or a military coup or any of those typical ways of overthrowing a government.

What ?

 

[Polaris]

Stupid hick. It's unbelievable that Republicans are still playing the paranoia card, McCarthy style. Velvet revolution against healthcare bill? Velvet Revolutuion, overthrow of the REAL communist government was great, we still enjoy our public healthcare...like most of the civilized world.

Funnily enough, the Czech Republic still has UHC, 20 years after Communism.

Uh, we still need idiots and semi-morons for the labor pool.

Also, more like sedition, not treason. Know your draconian government laws!

I don't think we have to worry about idiots for too long, it's inevitable more will be made.

labour

You're American you piece of shit. Have some national pride. LABOR.

Also, this guy is an idiot. I wonder how long before people start realizing how dumb they look saying stuff like this and then it backlashes on THEM.

A quick googling of Velvet Revolution says:

The Velvet Revolution (Czech: sametová revoluce) or Gentle Revolution (Slovak: nežná revolúcia) (November 17 – December 29, 1989) was a non-violent revolution in Czechoslovakia that saw the overthrow of the authoritarian government. It is seen as one of the most important parts of the Revolutions of 1989.

Sorry to spoil the fun in here...it was a series of peaceful strikes by the populace.

Xevrex was being sarcastic.

 

[VictimOfScience]

LOL. Yeah, it is really ridiculous that a frigging healthcare bill that, while not perfect, will end up helping a lot of average Americans is call for a protest/revolution, but invading and occupying other countries while brutally killing and maiming civilians and stomping on whatever rights they had previously is not. What is making people think this way?? Is it fear? Fear of "socialism," or "communism," or "black folk" (i.e. things they don't understand)? What is it exactly?? This shit makes NO SENSE.
