Lawmaker refers to Rep. Ellison as a ‘lifestyle Nazi’

The recent standoff between Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) and his Longworth House Office Building neighbor, freshman Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), has prompted Tancredo sympathizers — including Ellison constituents — to send Tancredo cigars.

In the last two weeks, Tancredo has received 100 in total, three of which came from people in Ellison’s Minneapolis-area district. “We have cigars all over the joint!” Tancredo boasted last week.
Ellison’s press aide, Rick Jauert, recently called the Capitol Police on his boss’s behalf after he alleged smelling smoke and seeing it come through the walls from Tancredo’s office.

To be safe, Tancredo checked with the House ethics committee to find out whether he could keep the cigars. He said he contemplated giving them away. “If I have to donate them, who am I going to donate them to?” he asked. He has since been assured that he can keep them.

Tancredo, who has three air purifiers in his office, said he thought about sending Ellison “an air cleaner, but I think I’m going to send an exorcist,” he said, expressing doubt that smoke really traveled through Ellison’s walls.

At Friday’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Tancredo further remarked on the incident, saying, “I live in a place run by what I refer to as the lifestyle Nazis here in Washington, D.C., that don’t let you do things like smoke in public places, for God’s sake. I want to tell you in my office, anyway, you can smoke … even though my next-door neighbor doesn’t like it.”
Ellison’s office had no comment on the matter.

1. Yes I agree

The strangest thing about these lifestyle Nazis is they want to IMPOSE that nazi lifestyle on everyone ..but themselves. So behind closed doors among their own psychopathic kind the "lifestyle Nazis are very depraved.Sick,decadent,hypocrite,bullies.

9. In what way is Ellison sick, decadent, and depraved? Just curious.

2. Tancredo = Hypocrite

Isn't this the same Tom Tancredo that proposed nuking Mecca?

[walldude]

13. That's him, although now he denies it.

He's well trained if nothing else.

[LeftishBrit]

3. OK - Tancredo doesn't like people complaining about his lifestyle

So I assume this means that he will now start supporting equal rights for gays; the state staying out of reproductive decisions; support diversity of languages and cultural practices; loudly defend Ellison's right to his religious beliefs; etc.

Or is it only being a 'lifestyle Nazi' when it concerns something that HE does?

4. Gosh, Tommy...

8. And I suppose he will support....

Legalizing marijuana!!

[jaksavage]

5. Tancredo should smoke them all

Then he would suffer the effects and likely shorten his life.
Thereby, sending him a cigar is actually a death threat.(ill omen)

[dkofos]

6. True. And most of them are RW evangelicals

[Touchdown]

7. I got an appointment with him at the end of the month

I smoke, so I'll test that invitation when I'm asking him for support on Employee Free Choice Act and Universal Health Care. ...then I'll ask for one of his cigars.:evilgrin:

10. Shit what are they going to do next, stop the brownies from speaking Mexicant?

Oh fuck! That's what I want to do.

:eyes: :sarcasm:

[lies and propaganda]

11. haahha, while Colo is using prison labor on farms

because their so freaking scared of Mexicans they'd rather have CRIMINALS picking fruit and whatnot. im sure the fact that they can pay them only 60 cents an hour has NOTHINg to do with it.


And surely not lifestyle Nazism, no way! Tancredo fucking sucks.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. So since smoking is not allowed in the building,

Tommy thinks it is okay to break the rules? Kind of an odd stance for a big law and order type.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Now, if you'll excuse me, my party has important work on criminalizing the birth control pill to do.

Did I mention our support for laws in Texas against consensual adult gay sex, our work spending taxpayers money fighting consenting adult porn, and our unflagging support of laws that lock up millions of non-violent pot smokers?
