Wes Harris, Arizona Tea Party Leader, Seeks To Recall John McCain Over Huma Abedin Defense

The Huffington Post | By Nick Wing Posted: 07/24/2012 10:14 am Updated: 07/25/2012 9:11 am



Conspiracy theories about Secretary of State Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin being linked to the Muslim Brotherhood publicly dribbled down to the lower echelons of conservative politics this week, with an Arizona Tea Party leader promising to launch a recall effort against Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for his defense of Abedin.

Last week, a group of Republican lawmakers led by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) drew widespread condemnation from both sides of the aisle for the loosely sourced contention that Huma Abedin, the Muslim-American wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

McCain strongly pushed back against this charge, taking to the Senate floor to call the allegations "nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman."

Wes Harris, the founder and chairman of the Original North Phoenix Tea Party, now says McCain's words have given him grounds to mount an effort to unseat the longtime senator.

In an interview with the Arizona Capitol Times, Harris called McCain an "embarrassment," before laying out a variety of unapologetic anti-Islamic sentiments.

1. Pubbies love this kind of talk.

They love threatening people, they love killing people, they love torturing people.

[KansDem]

2. Sounds like a threat...

One hopes the feds will take it seriously.

[tanyev]

3. Klassy. You going to the convention in Tampa, Mr. Harris?

[JI7]

4. is he friends with that guy in New York who ran for Governor

or some other office.

[B Calm]

5. Wow. . Man he has balls to say something like that!

[ProdigalJunkMail]

10. but a complete lack of brains n/t

[redqueen]

12. If I wqs a guy, I'd he annoyed at the association of testicles

with the willingness to do stupid, hateful, pointlessly risky things.

[lame54]

15. no you wouldn't

[redqueen]

18. LOL

Right.

Look, I'm annoyed by it now. I can pretty much guarantee I'd be more annoyed, and not less, were I male.

[lame54]

20. that sentiment comes only from women...

if you were a man you wouldn't feel that way

kind of a catch-22

[redqueen]

23. Ohh...

I could have sworn I'd seen similar comments from guys. It seems to me to be no different from saying something like it takes ovaries to do some stereotypicall thing usually associated with women.

Perhaps you're right.

[maxrandb]

6. Ooops! Clicked on this thinking it was about Joe Lieberman! n/t

[Politicalboi]

7. LOL!

That's what I thought too.

[otohara]

8. Dirt Nap

it took a while...never heard that expression before.

[siligut]

9. Belligerent, arrogant and stupid, Wes has got it all

I actually believe they want McCain to die, he is too level-headed.

[Whiskeytide]

11. Did he really say "...take a dirt nap"??

Holy shit! That is a pretty brazen threat - even for one of these assholes.

I wish McCain would just snap and say "Screw it, I'm going to tell all". I bet he could tell some stories and name a lot of names.

[obamanut2012]

13. In my neck of the woods, that mean dying

[babylonsister]

17. That's exactly what he meant. nt

[obamanut2012]

24. Yup

[Whisp]

14. pretty damn pathetic when McCain looks good against these guys. nt

[Arkansas Granny]

16. Some people might construe that to be a death threat.

[obamanut2012]

25. I sure as hell would

[spanone]

19. tea party/terrorism

[MrSlayer]

21. These people are as vicious as any feral creature.

Mean, vituperative, nasty motherfuckers. Remember how they turned on Roberts for daring to uphold the ACA? These people need to be removed.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

22. Eventually, guys like Harris will become the GOP mainstream and someone will be to the right of him

as the Republicon party keeps moving ever farther to the right. When that happens, I don't want to be around.

[demwing]

26. I don't think these fuckers will be happy till there's another Civil War

and maybe not even then...

some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

[gopiscrap]

27. I love it when repukes chew on each other!!!

[Frustratedlady]

28. You beat me to it.

I was just thinking about how delicious it is to sit back and watch the infighting in the Pug Party. I've gained weight from all the popcorn, though.

[BeHereNow]

29. "Final dirt nap..." Nice Wes- telling someone to go off and die.

When did this sort of statement become acceptable in public discourse?
It's is appalling.
BHN

[mysuzuki2]

30. well Wes, I say go for it.

you and your supporters should immediately rent offices, print petitions and send 100s of people out to start collecting signatures to recall McCain. Put forth your best effort, however long it takes. Spare no expense.. (Shhhh! don't anyone tell him that US senators can't be recalled)

[SteveG]

31. Slight problem

House members and Senators cannot be recalled, there is no provision for their removal in the Constitution for voters to remove them. The only people that are allowed to judge them other than at elections are members of their respective houses of Congress.

Tea Baggers really need to actually read the Constitution that they claim they are trying to defend.
