Two congressmen go off the deep end! (GOP, naturally.)

Mix teabagging with sheer stupidity and you get today's GOP congressassholes.

Rep. Steve Stockman continues to compete with his fellow Texas Republican Louie Gohmert for the title of nuttiest member of Congress. In an interview with talk show host Steve Deace yesterday he referred to President Obama’s re-election as a “scam.”

When Deace asked him about the Senate immigration reform bill, which he called “Scamnesty,” Stockman thought he was referring to Obama’s election and suggested that the president won due to voter fraud in the uncontested Democratic primary: “Which scam? You mean his election? Is that what you’re talking about? Where you had 120 percent people voting in the primary in just patriotic precincts?”

GOP Congressman: American Muslim Leaders Are ‘Potentially Complicit’ In Terrorist Acts

By Hayes Brown on Jun 11, 2013 at 4:06 pm

A Republican congressman claimed on the House floor on Tuesday that members of Muslim communities in the United States have not condemned acts of Islamic extremist terrorism against the U.S. and therefore are complicit in those and any future attacks.

Noting that it has been two months since the Boston Marathon bombing, Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) said the supposed silence from Muslim leaders on terrorism is “deafening,” adding that it’s “sad, but perhaps most importantly it’s dangerous.” Listing off a number terrorist acts committed by Islamic extremists, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and several more recent failed plots, Pompeo blamed the leaders of the Islamic community for not doing more to prevent these actions, hinting that they could be complicit in the deaths they’ve caused. “Instead of responding, silence has made these Islamic leaders across America potentially complicit in these acts, and more importantly still, in those that may well follow,” Pompeo accused.

1. I don't think you can really blame Stockton - Scam was on his word of the day toilet paper

So naturally having learned a new word he wanted to use it as much as possible.

2. Seems like Texas rethugs should know all about election fraud.

But you just can't fix stupid.

3. So Mr. Pompeo, have we heard you condemn acts by

white male christianist terrorists such as let's say Scott Roeder, Mathew Shepard's killers and the guy in Texas who drug a black guy to death?
Until you do sir, I believe you are complicit in the deaths they caused.
