Johnson is such an idiot. I've met him, and he's worse in person when he doesn't have his staffers to help him prepare before he speaks. I suppose, though, that he truly represents the best of his constituency and that he represents them well.

What astounds, and distresses, me is that the Guam tipping over and sinking fiasco was six years ago and the fool is still in Congress. Something is seriously wrong.

The rhetoric is unfortunate, but the settlers in the West Bank tend to be extreme orthodox Jews who genuinely believe that God gave them all of Israel (including the West Bank) and remain there in spite of the full knowledge of how their presence destabilizes the region. I do not hold a high opinion of them. I do not a hold a high opinion of the Palestinians who would happily purge all of Israel of every last Jew regardless, but that is another topic.

Wrong forum for such, not going there, his idiocy knows no bounds.

I only say the latter because it so easy to assume the opposite from such a post. However, in spite of the (as I said, "unfortunate") rhetoric, there is clear reason to not hold the settlers in high regard. They really are problematic.

Start a thread in the right place and I will disagree or agree with you there. This thread was placed here to discuss the idiots idiocy, not the subject of his views. And yeah, I nearly put it down there but I didn't want to have a thread about the ME instead of his stupidity.
 
Re: Congressman who once feared Guam could capsize compares Jewish settlers to 'termi


If you feel my comments are off topic then report me. Otherwise, how about you actually form a cogent argument for why his comments were idiocy. That his comments were stupid is a conclusion, not an argument.

What do you think the response would have been had this been a republican congressman who said this?
1) Calls for his immediate resignation
2) Demands that every republican denounce and disavow what he had said
3) Charges that this 'dog-whistle' exposes the anti-Semitic feelings of everyone on the right
 
Re: Congressman who once feared Guam could capsize compares Jewish settlers to 'termi


Chances are if a Republican said this he'd get a very poor reception from the GOP and the media would eat him alive.
 
Re: Congressman who once feared Guam could capsize compares Jewish settlers to 'termi


Well, they'd just treat him the same way people treat Louie Gohmert or Steve King. They'll all just laugh at him.

Moderator's Warning:
Thread closed as the OP mentions specifics relating to the I/P conflict specifically Jewish Settlers/ Disputed Territories/ Palestinians and this is not the ME Forum.
