Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) pushed some wild conspiracy theories Wednesday to argue that the U.S. must attack Iran to destroy its nuclear program.

“We need to make clear to Iran: You can play these silly games with our president that buys into them and our secretary of state, but the American people aren’t buying it and you’re going to pay a price,” Gohmert said.

He made the claims on the “Washington Watch” radio program hosted by Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, reported reported Right Wing Watch.

“I’m hoping and praying the president will realize, despite the agenda he has that has put Christians in jeopardy around the world, that he will not want to leave the Democratic Party so devastated that they won’t recover for many decades,” Gohmert said. He said the president was “slapping (Israel) around as an unwelcomed visitor,” but he remained hopeful Obama would treat Israel as a friend.

1. Does this guy even qualify to breathe our air? What a waste of human skin.

[liberal N proud]

2. He must be worried there will be a peaceful agreement and they will not get their war.

Why else are they pushing for such a quick war?

[NoRWNJ]

3. Gohmert must be the designated driver of the GOP clown car!

[Renew Deal]

4. General Gohmert is constitutionally challenged

[maryellen99]

5. Why oh Why do these people want to have a nuclear war?

They are insane-if we do go to war there if will end up being more than a shooting war.

[global1]

6. OK American People - It Comes Down To This Simple Question......

Do you want another war or not?

The President & the Dems are negotiating for a peaceful solution.

The Repugs want another war.

Who and what do you choose?

This is a simple way of boiling down your 2016 vote for President.

[BlueEye]

17. For that logic to work however, the Dem nominee would have to firmly back a pro-peace agenda.

Assuming Hillary will indeed be the nominee... Can we safely assume that she will? I think it's a valid question, as both Hillary and Bill are arguably (demonstrably? A case can be made) more hawkish than President Obama has been.

I'm not 100% sure what we can assume about her foreign policy platform until we hear more from her. Much has changed since she left State and Kerry took over.

[Roy Rolling]

7. Family members

Which one of his family members did he volunteer to lead the charge?

[hamsterjill]

11. Exactly!

Let him send a son or daughter, or better yet, can he just go himself? Now?

Sign me...

An Embarrassed Texan!

[Fuddnik]

8. Every time Louie gets bombed, he wants to bomb someone.

[blkmusclmachine]

9. Gohmert should have stayed in his other job as Sunday school teacher in Lubbock, TX.

And, Gohmert is a Christian reconstructionist/Christian dominionist, isn't he?

[pampango]

10. You can tell your neocons. Military strength/action is always better then diplomacy/negotiations.

It is true in every country.

[cosmicone]

12. Teabaggers would keep 1000 SWAT teams of psychiatrists

busy for a hundred years.

[awoke_in_2003]

13. I agree...

I say we strap Gomer onto the wing of a plane, and use him as said bomb

[Thor_MN]

14. I don't think we use dumb bombs much anymore...

We strap an expensive guidance package onto them so they can be dropped more or less precisely on the target that the intel says isn't a wedding celebration.

One could strap a Cray computer onto Gohmert and he would still be dumb as a box of rocks.

[awoke_in_2003]

15. "I don't think we use dumb bombs much anymore"

That deserves a DUzy. Is anyone doing those anymore? I know they have come and gone several times.

[DhhD]

16. What about the children of his East Texas district, wonder if their parents are alright with

a draft to protect those Christians?

[riobravo]

18. Follow the bribe money..

I have faith that you'll find members of the
Military-Industrial-Complex lurking in the cloakroom
with the third generation descendents of Brackwater
slithering in the weeds. Can't let a lucrative scam get
defunded for lack of a war or two or four... or more.

[gregcrawford]

19. What kind of people elect a blithering idiot like Gohmert?

No one I'd shake hands with before I'd had a rabies shot, that's for fucking sure.

[workinclasszero]

20. Lets strap that chicken hawk baggers ass to the first bomb that drops

as in Dr Strangelove, eh?

[whatthehey]

21. It's OK. Their theocratic loons threaten to destroy us too.

Might as well let the respective godbotherers measure their...ermm..pieties and waggle them at each other.

[Trillo]

22. Louie Gohmert, beat the Jesus out of 'em...

the U.S. Constitution only protects those who cling to Christianity and guns.

[kiranon]

23. Another member of the Bush/Cheney School of Diplomacy.

Bomb first and leave a lot of questions unanswered later. What makes Mr. Gohmert believe he can find and neutralize the much hardened sites? And, why? Any country seeking safety from American action against it needs the bomb. It didn't do Kadaffi any good to give up his stockpile. Wish no country had nuclear weapons, but that door is closed. Now it's every country for itself.
