What a fucking asshole.

I'll defend to the death your right to say it

government will not have earned....

What's that make him? Let's see....anyone?

Coburn's comment is the equivalent of Bush's "bring it on."

money money and not about what is necessary for the welfare of this country. It's funny isn't it, people obsessed with the buck have no problem foisting future generation indebtedness via the military industrial complex. I sure as hell haven't heard his concern for the US cost of war indebtedness, debilitating job loss or crucial educational needs. What has he done for the good of this country? Nothing. He is only concerned with the capitalists retaining their sufficating power stronghold and his next election.

Which is obvious that he has :rofl: Lost the financial integrity of the country? Why yes... two wars cost a lot of money Jack! And all for Oil? Methinks the world has gone coo-coo!

would Coburn have said we were sure asking for that? Coburn all but legitimized acts of violence towards his own political colleagues.

It was a joy to watch Rachel on this show though, looking at Dick Armey like he was nuts. And his face seemed to get redder every time she spoke.

What a despicable person.

Here is a clip of this morning's show cut down to 5 minutes.

best they can do. I"m not sure whether to laugh or cry.

I guess crying is the only option. I don't think I can get any more hopeless.

Thank goodness Rachel Maddow did her homework and called him on the carpet about it.

Rachel is bon vivant.





O8) :toast:

maddow owned all of these assholes. they have no idea what they are dealing with when they sit across from hera

god...i sound like a sycophant, but thank god we have one rachel per 100 armeys/coburns/

"And by present company, I mean me."

...for a Oklahoma style bombing. Coburn is despicable.

That this would be the LAST thing to ever come out of ANY Oklahoma politician's mouth - even a scumbag Pub like Tom Coburn! :mad:

I can't understand where these people come from.

He was an accountant. He campaigned that he was "called" to be a doctor. He graduated from med school in 1983. He did a one year surgical internship. Then he completed his residency in family medicine that included obstetrics training. He is not board certified in any specialty. This is just hearsay but, I heard some doctors refer to him as a "dork" and an "asshole".

He is part of "The Family". As you know, Oklahoma is heavily populated with fundamentalist christians. They love him. Correspondence with him or his office is comical and infuriating at the same time.

There was no mention of his appearance on MTP in our newspapers or TV. Therefore, many (if not most) Oklahomans don't know the level of his ineptitude. Although, my grandmother said that she would not even cross the street to listen to Coburn. She was a smart lady. But, I digress. It is no surprise to me that Rachel can run circles around him intellectually.

Earned?
I'll show you EARNED.... wanna look at my 401K, long about September 2008, during the BUSH government?
And the bailouts -- Bush. TARP -- Bush.
Deficits, wars, wire taps, money laundering, mercenaries, cronyism.... BUSH government.

Yeah... plenty to EARN threats of violence.

But let's be clear -- during the BUSH government -- a Dem couldn't attend a town hall meeting, let alone even wear a t-shirt with a slogan that wasn't pre-approved, or find himself or herself staring a the cement walls of a cell.

Soooo.... DOCTOR Coburn, don't tell me about what government earned threats of violence. That would be .... YOUR PARTY'S GOVERNMENT.

AND what did we DO?

We voted the scum out of office. Now, stand aside and let us do what we voted to do.

Oh.... and.... STFU!!!

What a dumbass.

Link to mentions of Coburn in Jeff Sharlet's book on The Family:
http://books.google.com/books?id=NVmcx-8zdGEC&q=Coburn

"Coburn, an obstetrician, has advocated the death penalty for doctors who perform abortions. "
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A14759-2004Dec20.html


{from a 2004 article} And according to the online magazine Salon.com, at a political meeting held just last spring, Coburn warned his fellow Republicans that “the gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power. {The gay} agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today.”
