Idaho Canidate Ripped For Joke About Hunting Obama

Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Rex Rammell's Comments Called 'Reckless And Inflammatory'

BOISE, Idaho (CBS) ― The list of Idaho Republicans condemning a GOP gubernatorial candidate's comments about buying a license to hunt President Barack Obama grew Friday, as party leaders worried the incident would reflect badly on the state.

U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo said former elk rancher Rex Rammell's comment at a Twin Falls GOP merits an apology, U.S. Sen. Jim Risch disavowed him from the Republican Party, and Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter called Rammell's comment "reckless and inflammatory."

Rammell is among those running in the 2010 Idaho GOP primary against incumbent Otter.

On Tuesday, a GOP rally attendee shouted a question about "Obama tags" during discussion of Idaho's upcoming wolf hunt, where hunters must purchase $11.50 wolf tags.

Rammell responded, "The Obama tags? We'd buy some of those."

themselves is the height of chutzpah.

guy made a joke about a "burning bush" in a bar ... was tried and sentenced to a few years in prison for "threatening the pResident" ... Bush, that is ...

He should have been brandishing a loaded rifle outside the Bush43 gatherings ... he'd have been a hero to the RWers, instead of locked up ...

But he's spot on about the apology.

remember the guy who was arrested for making a bible burning bush joke because it sounded like a threat against king george? Remember the old dude at the exercise club in Fahrenheit 911? Remember people being arrested for having anti-bush T-shirts? Not violent, just opposed to him?

Where is the frigging Secret Service now? Maybe this IS a fascist police state.
