Meet Louis GOHMERT, (r-nutcase), Congresscritter from TX and former judge (TERROR BABIES!1)
I sat through the whole clip. You're welcome. He claimed that Anderson COOPER and Jon STEWART have been taking "cheap shots" at him for two days. Isn't it funny/consistent that nutcases like this always happen to have run into a "retired FBI agent" (or retired CIA or whatever), whose identity he can't reveal, who told him all sorts of scary things?!1 So his premise is that "terror babies" are being planted here, to grow up, as COOPER said, "twenty years from now" to detonate terror. Heck, the terra-ists must have the secret to parenting that will ensure desired results that 6,000 years of human history has not developed before!1

This dude represents along the TX-LA state line and is a deacon and Sunday School teacher, by his congresscritter website. Just how many of these (insert epithet here) are there?!1 I keep thinking we've covered them all, there can't be MORE!1

Anderson Cooper Gets Testy Over Crazy Representative's 'Terror Babies' Theory


"Terror Baby" mania is sweeping the U.S.! This crazy meme is the far-right's latest line of attack against the evil 14th Amendment. Now, the argument's champion, Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert was on Anderson Cooper. They shouted a lot about it.

Have you guys been following this "Terror Babies" meme? It's the crazy cousin of the "Anchor Babies" thing that somehow has become the most important political story of the month. Basically, the idea is that terrorists are going to use the 14th Amendment to sneak into the U.S. and have a baby that's a U.S. citizen. Then, in 16 or 17 years, this "terror teenager" will be able to easily enter the U.S. and blow shit up.

Tonight on "AC360," Anderson Cooper did his best "keeping them honest" poker face while Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert ranted about Terror Babies. When Anderson Cooper told him a former FBI official said he'd never heard of any terror babies, Gohmert said:

(QUOTE: ) I bet you on 9/10, he would have come on your show and said 'There was no credible report of a plan to take down the World Trade Center'. ( :UNQUOTE)

This was the same Rep. Gohmert who said Obama setting up the BP escrow fund literally made him Hitler. Barack Obama invaded Poland soon after, so maybe we should be worried about Terror Babies!?

1. Is Gohmert competent enough to hold public office?

2. I just don't get how somebody like this can be elected as JUDGE and congressman and
even be a deacon in a church and teach Sunday school.

3. No! This guy is sick.
You have to wonder about the mental stability of the dunces who put him in office. I don't believe we could build enough mental hospitals to hold the millions of far right wackos in this country.
