Darrell Issa Tears Into GOP Candidate Over 'Hateful & Ignorant Garbage'

[ashling]

In his scathing statement, Issa condemned Donnelly's "hateful and disgusting rhetoric."

"There is no place in any public discussion for this type of hateful and ignorant garbage," Issa, who endorsed Kashkari last week, said. "As far as I'm concerned, this type of stupidity disqualifies Tim Donnelly from being fit to hold any office, anywhere. Donnelly is no longer a viable option for California voters."

Issa continued: "It is crap like this that gives Republicans a bad name and there is no place in the Republican Party or in this race for someone like Tim Donnelly."

Donnelly and Kashkari are among the Republicans competing in the increasingly contentious GOP primary, with the hopes of challenging incumbent Gov. Jerry Brown (D) in his reelection bid this fall. Brown, however, holds a strong lead over his potential Republican challengers. A Field Poll released last month found Brown carrying 57 percent of the vote, compared to Donnelly's 17 percent.

1. Whoa!

If Donnelly got Crybaby Issa this exercised, he must have said something really despicable! And I'm talking way over the line, out of bounds and beyond the pale. Something like "You know, I don't think Obama is truly the antichrist."

2. What did the guy say?

This leaves out the most important part of the story.

5. Donnelly accused Kashkari of supporting fundamentalist Islam (he dropped the Sharia law dog whistle)

And never mind Neel Kashkari is a Hindu.

8. Tact and intelligence aren't the strong suits of today's GOP.

I don't think they have any strong suits.

10. Donnelly is the wackadoodle teabagger's last hope in California

By most measures, he's DOA when the polls close on 03 June

3. Is this the "Obamacare enrollment = Jewish train-ride to the gas chambers" guy?

4. Issa is only amd because the comments were directed towards a fellow Repuke...

He'd canonize this idiot if he said the same thing about a Dem.

6. To paraphrase Dennis Miller: "Why resort to racial insults when if you get to know someone...

you can find perfectly legitimate things to hate about them."

Neel Kashkari:

As interim Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability from October 2008 to May 2009, he was responsible for overseeing the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) that was a major component of the U.S. government's response to the financial crisis of 2007–08. A Republican, he is running for Governor of California in the 2014 election.
