Toxic Tom DeLay; "DailyKos pays antiAmerican fighters"...WTF???????
I mean, WTF?????

"LaRouche is a con felon and all I can tell you is that Mr. Morrison has supported and campaigned with LaRouche followers and Mr. Morrison also has taken money and is working with the Daily Kos, which is an organization that raises money for fighters against the U.S. in Iraq," said DeLay.

He's calling DKos a TERRORIST. Under the PA, Marcos could be "disappeared" for good. Are WE next??? What bullshit will DeLay spew about DU???

This shit's gotta STOP.

5. Sounds like he's getting desperate...
I just read this today. It might explain his hateful lies about DailyKos.

AlterNet Times Up for DeLay
<snip>
DeLay's Demise
Given the priority of the presidential race for progressives, it's important to note just how many groups are simultaneously working toward DeLay's demise. Once considered unbeatable, recent polls show that repeated ethics violations, civil lawsuits, and increasingly firm and high profile criticism in the media are taking their toll.
It wasn't too long ago that people like blogger DailyKos, who calls DeLay "an all-around scumbag," were supporting the Majority Leader's dark horse opponent, Richard Morrison, simply as a tactic: "Morrison was a nobody. My hope was to simply force DeLay to campaign more in the district, thus keeping him from campaigning and fundraising for other Republicans. Now Morrison is a serious candidate with a legitimate chance to win."

Buoyed by recent polls, groups like Campaign for America's Future, Campaign Money Watch, and Howard Dean's Democracy for America have joined together to defeat DeLay. The groups are using a number of tactics to get the job done, including powerful TV ads, nationwide fundraising, and even a campaign to shame other Republicans into distancing themselves both politically and financially from the increasingly embattled congressman.

6. According to a couple of people...
... on the dailykos.com forum, who called DeLay's office, DeLay's now saying that he was misquoted, and that he actually said, "....the Daily Kos, which is an organization that raises money for fighters against the U.S. POLICY in Iraq."

With any luck, there will be film or audio of this.

The bit about Morrison having "supported and campaigned with LaRouche followers" is also a bit of a distortion. Unfortunately, the LaRouche Youth Movement in the Houston area has been throwing support to Morrison in a dump DeLay effort. But Morrison, to my knowledge, has showed no reciprocal support to LaRouche or his followers. Most of this hoo-haw may come from the fact that the Morrison Congressional Committee showed an LYM-sponsored dump Delay event on its web calendar of events.

7. Wasn't it DeLay that said all of Soros' money was from illegal drugs?
In any case, he can get his ass sued off for that easily.

9. To fully understand DeLay
one must read carefully the research on pesticides and health. Dig deep because that is where you will find the studies that have shown brain damage and nervous system disorders. Actually the best research is found in Europe as the US had been bought off.

He is an idiot who thought the laws were stupid so probably didn't even take the minimum precautions. I heard he drank DDT to make a point about EPA laws and regs.

Also - look at his face. He is somewhat womanish in his appearance.

This guy is a goner.

10. At least one source for the drinking DDT story...
... is Rep. David Obey (D-WI). If it weren't true, I'm sure DeLay would've been all over him in the House.

So, when does the bugman start turning into one? If I had more time, I'd love to do a spoof of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" with DeLay as Gregor Samsa. :P
