    Sounds about right……A few have said this before on various threads, but it sure would be interesting if the Police let the people in this assholes district police themselves for 24hrs. I wonder what would happen??? HMMMM

    Besides, I wouldn't get into a huff yet. The only places I can find anything on this story are hard on core right wing media outlets. It's probably a spoof story, haha!

    I certainly didn't. I took it that he was being metaphorical and maybe looking to stir the shit. Maybe when he retires from politics he will go into comedy.

    But he did make a point, even if badly, which is that in some cities and in some areas, minorities are singles out by law enforcement. I think by now everyone knows that racial profiling is still a reality and alive and sadly well in many places.

    Oh hell no, man. I saw Dick Gregory at his peak- around 1970. All else pales.

    I don't know this guy from Adam, but what he said is pretty shitty. Not a fan of shit-stirrers or those who royally fuck up making their points.

    Kind of like when Zimmerman did that Anne Frank bullshit.

    I'm guessing this guy, like this thread, will fade into oblivion. Too bad he didn't make the point in a manner people would be more likely to take seriously.

    I think he, like anyone who just doesn't get it in such a stupidly-worded (or intended) way, should be taken to task. The guy's a senator, for god's sake. How exactly do elected "officials" fade?

    When I read that, at first my brain went to "How do some elected official get elected?". Good question. As for fading... most do fade- after all, what percentage of the voting age population even knows who their current elected officials are?

    We need a thread for the moronic things state level legislators say...
    "Gordon Klingenschmitt, a Republican member of the state House of Representatives from Colorado Springs, made the remarks on his "Pray in Jesus Name" satellite television show.

    "This is the curse of God upon America for our sin of not protecting innocent children in the womb," said Klingenschmitt, a minister and retired U.S. Navy chaplain.

    "And part of that curse for our rebellion against God as a nation is that our pregnant women are ripped open."

    He was referring to the case of Michelle Wilkins, a 26-year-old Colorado woman whose fetus was cut from her last week by a woman who lured the victim using an online ad for baby clothes."

    What a moronic thing to say - he's a prime candidate for the idiot thread.

    Can't imagine how it must make that poor woman feel.

    No doubt she's been splashed all over the news and then this jackass says this?
    None of the news reports I heard expressed an iota of sympathy for her losing her fetus, it's always just a terse "the baby did not survive"...so sad.
    There really are some seriously boneheaded state legislators out there.
