Rep. Louie Gohmert (of course), speaking to Glenn Beck (of course), is angry that the CDC said the Texas nurses who contracted Ebola had violated protocols:
"It’s a shame that the CDC head, Frieden, is apparently the new commander of the Democrats’ war on women nurses," Gohmert told Beck. "Because, goodnight, they set them up, and then they throw them under the bus."
We could talk about how, in reality, Frieden called the nurses "good, dedicated people" who violated protocol in part by wearing too much protective gear, something one obviously does with the best of intentions. And how, in reality, Republicans are always looking for ways to make nurses' jobs harder and less safe. But coming from Gohmert, this isn't about nurses. It's about finding a way to connect Ebola and Democrats. And lo! Women are involved, so he just threw a "war on women" accusation in there, because that's how Republican word salad works. It doesn't make sense. It's not supposed to make sense. It's just about hitting enough fear buttons on Glenn Beck's listeners and then pulling Democrats in somehow.
I guess you don't win the highly competitive title of America's Dumbest Congressman without being creative. Basic, run-of-the-mill stupidity wouldn't stand out in the congressional setting. A little flamboyance is necessary.if they are so confident of sweeping the midterms why are they still engaging in misinformation? just who and how many votes does he think this put in their box, you would think by now and after monumental amounts of debunking's they would realize we know the more ridiculous and similar to their antics the rhetoric the more we know it's a lie. looks like that party of stupid is all encompassing from the play makers to the dark money people, politicians, to the ones they have fooled.
G W Bush, "you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on"
And how about that Republican nerve, doing everything they can to stoke Ebola panic, while working against meaningful, effective response.I call it republican audacity of arrogance or stupid. 6 in one half dozen in the other
