Paul Broun: Obama’s ’socialist elite’ is planning to ‘declare martial law.’

The Athens Banner-Herald reports today that Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) told constituents yesterday that he thinks Democratic leaders are planning to declare martial law:


***He also spoke of a “socialistic elite” - Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid - who might use a pandemic disease or natural disaster as an excuse to declare martial law.

***“They’re trying to develop an environment where they can take over,” he said. “We’ve seen that historically.”


The Banner-Herald also notes that Broun told town hall attendees that they should tell friends and relatives in surrounding states to lobby conservative Blue Dog Democrats to fight progressive health care legislation, who are also the targets of the insurance industry’s campaign to make themselves the primary benificiaries of any health care legislation.

1. newsflash

Bush did that for 8 years, where were you Mr. Brown?

[liberalmike27]

2. Another case of

The "No I'm not, you are," tactic.

Clearly we came way closer to that during the Bush years, and they are using this tactic, just like they are now calling us NAZIS, with no comparisons at all.

Such childish minds they have.

"I know you are but what am I?"

3. There should be an IQ test for people running for congress....

5. Too bad. Unitary Executive Theory

Congress is an advisory panel, the Judiciary is window-dressing. Just ask Cheney and other Nixon-era Republicans.


You'd better keep quiet, Broun... Obama has the power to declare you an "enemy combatant" and lock you in a cell until you die... natural causes or otherwise.

Why are you not supporting the President in a time of war? Why do you hate America? If the President needs to declare martial law to protect the country, who are YOU to questino his judgement and executive authority? Only a terrorist-loving traitor would do that in a time of war, Broun... are you a traitor?

11. Well, that's what we were saying about Bush

So that's probably what he ment when he said "We've seen that historically."

12. Marshal Law is to be declared on Saturday, September 12th

I've always wanted to start a bogus internet rumor/urban legend- because these dumb f*cks will believe ANYTHING, and the entertainment value beats anything on TV. Oh, and toilet paper rationing starts on September 1st. Spread the word!
