Default Rep. Shadegg Suggests Mayor Bloomberg's Daughter Will Be "Kidnapped" By A Terrorist


This is taking fear to a whole different level. Shadegg should be ashamed of himself.

Rep. Shadegg Suggests Mayor Bloomberg's Daughter Will Be "Kidnapped" By A Terrorist
6 hours and 16 minutes ago by Matt Finkelstein
Despite the fear-mongering of many conservatives, the Obama administration's decision to prosecute five alleged 9/11 conspirators in New York City has the backing of Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "It is fitting that 9/11 suspects face justice near the World Trade Center site where so many New Yorkers were murdered," Bloomberg said last week, noting that the city has "hosted terrorism trials before."

However, a far-right congressman from the other side of the country doesn't appreciate Bloomberg's confidence in New Yorkers. Speaking on the House floor last night, Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) went after Bloomberg personally, suggesting that the mayor's daughter could be "kidnapped at school by a terrorist" because of the trial:

Quote:
SHADEGG: I saw the Mayor of New York said today, "We're tough. We can do it." Well, Mayor, how are you going to feel when it's your daughter that's kidnapped at school by a terrorist? How are you going to feel when it's some clerk -- some innocent clerk of the court -- whose daughter or son is kidnapped? Or the jailer's little brother or little sister? This is political correctness run amok.

There's something rather depressing about watching a political party implode before your very eyes.

Why would the administration do such a thing to New York?? A city that has never experienced terorrism before is is now under no threat whatsoever!

Here's my question... do you guys just expect this shit now?

Has this kind of fear mongering for attention become just a matter of course? Wow.

I think politicians that say brain-dead things is a side-effect of any democratic system. It's nothing new here, nor unique to here.

It's pretty much expected now, although I have to say, this one is over the top........but then like I have been saying about other stuff that I'd never seen before, it gives one something to aspire to.......just how to top the last one.


..........oh and Shadegg would so get an infraction, if he posted that here.
