Amid a backlash against Republicans who have challenged their colleagues’ loyalty to America or Americans on the campaign trail, a review of the Congressional Record reveals that similar rhetoric has been in use in the House chamber, as well.

In particular, the term “anti-American” has been hurled freely in floor debates by a pair of junior GOP stalwarts, Reps. Virginia Foxx and Ted Poe .

But Foxx went even further last month, according to a transcript of House floor proceedings on Sept. 17.

“We had a great opportunity to pass a bill yesterday that would have created more American energy, but my colleagues on the other side don’t seem to be in favor of more American energy. They seem to be anti-American energy, just as many other things that they support seem to be anti-American power and anti-American control,” Foxx said.

Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota asked the presiding officer whether the language was appropriate.

“The last speaker just referred to the Democrats, including myself, as anti-American,” McCollum said. “Is that a custom and usage of this House to refer to one another in such a manner?”

Emphasis me. Cheez 'n' crackers, awreddy. What is it with Republicans? Anyone who opposes their steamroller, rubberstamping neoKKKon agenda is somehow "anti-" or "un-" American?

Gimme a freakin' break. It's time to boot that ugly woman with an ugly soul out of Washington, and she can take those ugly bigass earbobs with her. Roy Carter is the Democratic candidate running for the NC-05 seat.

It'd be awfully nice for DU to show him (and NC) some love and coin to get him elected.
