Rep. Joe Walsh: Obama would be a 'tyrant' if he was 'smart enough to know what that means'

Joe Walsh Calls Obama A 'Tyrant' Over Immigration Policy Change

Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) said that President Barack Obama is a "tyrant," or that he would be if he was "smart enough to know what that means," at at town hall event
in Elmhurst, Ill., on Saturday.

Walsh was responding to Obama's immigration policy change announced on Friday. The administration will no longer deport undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and will begin granting work permits.

A video of the event was disclosed on Wednesday to The Huffington Post by CREDO, a super PAC focused on defeating Walsh and other Tea Party candidates.

And again, fair is fair, you want a debate on the law, fine have that debate. But right now it's a law on the books and you just told your law enforcement people don't enforce it. I was on one radio station and I said, 'My god he's a tyrant.' I don't know what else you call him. I don't want to give him that credit because I don't think he's smart enough. I think he's only doing this because he's campaigning, that's all the guy knows. So I don't want to call him a tyrant, because he really isn't smart enough to know what that means. But in one fell swoop he just made 800,000 illegal immigrants, let's call it legal, and gave them the ability to work here legally.

Yes, the constitutional law professor and magna cum laude Harvard graduate must not know what a tyrant is! Thank you, Congressman Walsh!

To describe what cretins and pigs the Republicans are. They have no concept of respect or civility. They're just scum, lowlife scum.

They can form their own crazy Congress.

Anyone else to send along with them?

If Mr. Walsh had called the President a Communist, a fascist or a Muslim, I would just yawn and say, "there goes another bagger running his mouth again."

However, if one just listens to President Obama for a few minutes, one would feel pretty silly calling him "stupid," unless one is a diehard racist, in which case one believes that "intelligent" and "of African descent" is an oxymoron.

I think I have a pretty good idea that between the President and Mr. Walsh there is one and only one intelligent man, and it's not Mr. Walsh.

I suppose that the real reason so many right wing morons believe in creationism or intelligent design or whatever it's called this year, has nothing to do with what is in the Book of Genesis but rather that any educated anthropologist will tell them that all homo sapiens are of African descent if one looks back far enough.

John Wilkes Booth shouted "Sic semper tyrannis" as he leapt to the stage after shooting Lincoln. These people truly scare me.
