Ted Yoho: Boehner's Leadership Reminiscent Of A 'Communist Country'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 1/7/2015 12:00 pm

Rep. Ted Yoho, the Florida Republican who helped lead yesterday’s unsuccessful revolt against John Boehner’s re-election as House speaker, warned after the vote that attempts by the House GOP leadership to punish defectors by removing them from committee posts are akin to communist oppression. “We’ve grown up in a country that honors free speech,” Yoho told WorldNetDaily’s Radio America. “If I can’t speak what’s on my mind, if I can’t do what the people of my district sent me up here [to do] and have that voice of dissension without fear of retribution, I’m not in a free country. That would be something you would expect in China, Cuba or any other communist country.”

2. How far right do you have to be to consider Boehner a communist?

At least we can take some comfort in the fact that they're so divided.

10. They never stop pushing the envelope to the right and our "centrists" are always happy to oblige.

If the Birch Society was the "mainstream" of the Republican party (and we are pretty much there now) then that would be "communism" from the right wing.

This isn't new, this how they do.

11. File this uner... No, wait, wave it around as...

..."They call EVERYTHING 'communist'."

12. C'mon. He didn't call Boehner a "Communist"...

He called him a Communist Oppressor.

13. the lunatics are running the asylum.

14. There's the stupid Republicans and the moronic Republicans

and they hate each other more than they hate you.
