Bet it's a bagger. They are the only ones that hate moderate republicans and the president.
One down, 3000 more loudmouth baggers to go.
Vote them out of congress as soon as possible.
Was he really, really arrested, CNN?
More than likely listened to HATE AM, till it caused skull implosion. Most of the hate seems to come from this corner of the country. Maybe it's the water?
CNN ... we should believe you on this arrest because ...? You've not been too accurate today on announcing arrests so how do we know if John King didn't make this one up as well?
I bet this is the case of race. This idiot is in 2nd century while every nook end of the corner of globe is progressing–this brainless racist play cards–deplorable. Grow up–America–we will progress. Quit race. Let brain come forward. God bless!! USA the best.
CNN fails to mention the political party this crazy is part of....bet you can't guess which party that is...there would be no need to guess if he was associated with a conservative group, it would have been part of the headline. Self identified democrat, go figure.
any bets on the political position of this nutcase?
like it really matters?
off with his head and down the rat hole to sing to his new friends at the big house.
