Rep. Louie Gohmert: Democrats want another terrorist attack so they can pass a new jobs bill.

Recently, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four other terrorism suspects will be tried in U.S. courts in New York City, which has prompted outrageous reactions from conservative politicians and pundits. One of the most extreme reactions came last night during an exchange between Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Fox News Host Neil Cavuto. When Cavuto questioned Gohmert about whether we should try 9/11 terror suspects in New York City, the Texas congressman “joked” that Democrats who support bringing the alleged terror conspirators there for trial are hoping for another terrorist attack so they can “create a new jobs bill” to rebuild the city:

1. That was...

One of the most douchebag comments I've heard from a republican since maybe August. Not to mention I'm glad to see the faith the republicans have in our U.S. court system. Pathetic the way he already accused those professionals as "weak links", that's an insult to those workers. This guy obviously knows nothing about N.Y.'s federal court system and the prosecutors 99% success rate.

2. no. 'insane' is what Gohmert sees when he looks in the mirror.

just because it wears a suit, doesn't mean it isn't a nutcase.

3. The only reason...

The republicans don't want the trial in the states is b/c all we are going to hear from the media during these trials is how much more horrible the republican administration really was than even previously thought.

6. Don't say that too loud

They are already claiming it is purly a political decision to help Obama get his base all stirred up.

5. Is there anything these lying treasonous bastards won't say?
