5. Issa is a real load.

He should be flushed just like all other smelly turds that spread disease and foul odors.

Waxman needs to hold this man accountable for his statement. It sure sounds like a threat to me.

What a disgrace, but that's all one can expect from Republicans.

8. Yeah, he'll get his brother to be over there and steal the Humvee he's riding in!

Or camp out nearby and burn down the building he's staying in...

Issa has a past for these sorts of things. We shouldn't forget it! :)

15. Isn't Issa the guy who started the CA recall of the governor?

Thereby installing Schwarzenegger as King of CA?

16. Yup, and also was a suspected car thief and arsonist too...

Check out the other thread in GE on this today.

And he was visibly crying when he pulled out of the recall race he funded when it became obvious that Arnold wasn't going to let the Rethug votes go to him! Tried to buy the office himself but discovered it wasn't that easy!

So this is what happens when a school yard bully type gets some cash, eh? Well, asswipe is still a school yard bully. Somehow, I don't think our man Henry is intimidated at all.

11. Perhaps Waxman knows better than to go to Iraq!

Too bad everyone doesn't know better than to stay in the USA.

12. Which perfectly illustrates why the military shouldn't be privatized.

14. Here's an idea: In lieu of the fact that the anthrax killers were never caught,

why shouldn't the Dems be allowed their own private security guards? Blackwater definitely sounds like it's pro-Republican.

18. Actually that is not a bad idea.

And it would make a point that could not be ignored.

17. Anyone else think that Issa is protesting too much?

Perhaps we should check him out for monkey business of the sort Ney and that other idiot were involved in.

20. didn't one caller ask him about having Blackwater stock?

a male caller said something about that and Darrell changed the subject a few degrees.

24. so Issa is accusing Blackwater of being capable of murdering a Congressman?

or letting a Congressman be killed?

In that case, Issa should be calling for Blackwater's contract being terminated, at the very least.

I don't think they would commit the murder, but I can see somebody standing down while it happens.

28. is Issa accusing them of being capable of doing that?

that's a serious charge. That could possibly be considered political assassination. Is that the type of company Issa thinks Blackwater is?

26. I caught that, too.

Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 12:13 PM by ripple

It's obvious that he's ideologically opposed to Waxman, but he took it entirely too far and made it personal, not just with that comment, but with others. And notice that he didn't bother to correct the woman that said Iraq attacked us on 9/11. What a dickhead.

29. Making terroristic threats is a crime, Mister Issa.

Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 12:28 PM by ArbustoBuster

Ship him off to Gitmo. I'm deadly serious. Until a few of these right-wing freaks start getting caught in the gears they built, the machine will never be disassembled.

Edit: Fixed mangled grammar that negated what I meant to say.

31. Issa's not only an A$$hole

Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 10:04 PM by maxrandb

He's a dangerous A$$hole. He's the main reason we ended up with the Governator, and I'm sure he's got a hand in the attempt to carve out electoral votes from California.

This is the kind of cut-throat shit the dems face in Congress. It's time to stop playing nice and trying to be civil. Republicans are "effing" terrorist's and they need to be treated as such.
