Rep. Gohmert casts Obama as 'evil emperor,' slams 'Darth Vader' bus

Outspoken Republican Rep. Louis Gohmert (Texas) blasted President Obama on Tuesday night for riding around the country in a “Darth Vader bus.”

Obama has used his three-day bus tour through the Midwest as an opportunity to criticize Congress for what he calls putting party ahead of country — for example, in the protracted negotiations over the debt ceiling.

Although Gohmert said the government needs to get “out of the way” to fix America’s problems, he slammed Obama for promoting tax hikes on the wealthy while on his tour and firing crowds up with what Gohmert called “hateful rhetoric.”

“He’s out there acting like the evil emperor,” Gohmert told Fox Business network’s Lou Dobbs, continuing the “Star Wars” theme by comparing the president’s behavior on his bus tour to that of the evil Emperor Palpatine in the sci-fi movie series.

1. They used the wrong picture

The REAL Gomert.

12. Gomer Pile was kind and meek. You obviously have never seen the show.

He was usually correct too.... in a "good night Gracie" kinda way.

Gomert is just a dumb fool.
More like ...

...but without the humor.

[keroro gunsou]

17. and the fact that...

archie mellowed in his old age. he was more a product of his times and lack of education than actual ignorance or malice. gomert... not so much, he's a putz.

2. "a big, black, hearsemobile of doom"

The bus needs to be repainted ASAP. At least put some decals on it. Sure, it's meaningless but it's a needless distraction.

8. A silery gray would have been better. n/t

[CBHagman]

13. The GOP is doing a multi-pronged attack.

The RNC attacked Obama for using a Canadian bus (Yeah, the 'cans love to attack our allies. Witness all the dissing of the Europeans during GOP debates).

By nightfall we'll hear from NRO, Fox News, Breitbart, et al and there wiwl be a manufactured controversy. It's what they do.

3. George Lucas should sue the fuck out of Gohmert

especially because at least in the new movies, Palpatine represents Bush and the gutless senate represents our gutless congress.

[russspeakeasy]

5. WTF ? Lou Dobbs has a show ?

:wtf:

[EC]

6. What does he think the President's name and seal

18. I weep for the children of his district...

To be born into such inbred, morons that they would sent that piece of shit to represent them in Congress is truly an evil hand to be dealt in the game of life...

[tcaudilllg]

10. Gohmert, how does it feel to have a stick in your eye?

[ladjf]

11. That's wild. A Republican Congressman calls Obama an

"Evil Emperor" even though he has acquiesced to almost everything the Republicans have wanted.
Doesn't look like the behavior of an Emperor to me.

[eringer]

14. Maybe some "terror babies" will be born in the bus

Care to comment Tea Bagger Louie?

[SoapBox]

15. ...jackass.

[ldconfig]

16. Gohmert is batshit crazy but...

Gitmo is still open - He never really stopped torture (Bradly Manning) - Obama replaced 6 out of the top 10 'just us' dept lawyers with RIAA/MPAA goons that BTW helped the content cartels to go after a BLIND MAN accusing him of downloading movies! - Obama admin's war on a free press (wikileaks) - Not a single person is in jail for torture/war crimes - Not a single person is in jail for the great bank robbery of 08 - The Obama bank regulators have made it really cheap for the rich to buy a house and made it impossible for banks to loan money to people THAT NEED IT - Hoover economic polices - Obama hiring Summers the man that got Clinton to deregulate the banks and make bullshit like credit default swaps legal - Obama hired Timmy the Wall Street bag man - The Obama admin is giving 10x more tax money to churches than W did - Obama goes to C-Street events - This spring Obama agreed to cut WIC & home heating - Obama agreed to extend the Bush tax cuts - Took single payer off the table - put social security and Medicare on the table - Blessing fracking - and on and on and on

Evil no ... bought and paid for by the rich yea
