WorldNetDaily commentator and fringe radio host Andrea Shea King wants to punish elected officials who plan to skip Benjamin Netanyahu’s controversial address to the U.S. Congress tomorrow—by putting them to death.
King said on her radio program last month that such officials shouldn’t just “pay with their jobs” but should also “pay with their lives.” “I would like to think that these guys could pay with their lives, hanging from a noose in front of the U.S. Capitol Building,” she said. “What they are doing is they are putting their own interests above that of America, and to me that is criminal.”
King specifically suggested hanging members of the Congressional Black Caucus, saying “their districts are all dumb clucks because these dumb clucks wouldn’t be electing these people if they knew better.”
“How do people like this get to represent us in Congress?” she asked. “Because there are stupid people out there in those congressional districts who are so ignorant it’s dangerous—. Stupid, stupid people. Our lives are on the line and all they can think of is skin color. All of us will turn black if we end up in a cage on fire.”

threatening the lives of members of congress? bad idea, even if i CAN sometimes understand the temptation in specific individual cases --- but threatening them over whether or not to attend a lecture by a foreign national? a lecture by one particular official from a minor-yet-headache-inducing allied nation, an official known to be the sort of US-bashing blowhard that makes U.S. nationals wonder why we're allied to that jackass' home nation again...? if i was a member of congress (and i'm not an idiot, so no) i'd skip it for certain. anything actually worth paying attention to would be said either in writing, or in private; public lectures generally contain nothing of value outside of academia.
did he, by any chance, want the people who quite literally shut down the government to not only 'pay with their jobs, but pay with their lives'?
Well, if you're all about patriotism, you should be waving your noose in the direction of Boehner and co., for meddling in foreign affairs in which they have no business, according to the Constitution, and for attempting to undermine the President's delicate negotiations by bringing in Netanyahu in the first place. If a Democrat had done this under Dubya, you'd be having an aneurism, and screaming to have the Democrats executed for treason.

But let me guess... she's all for freedom and the Constitution?

Ah, she's racist, too.
Those not attending include a fair proportion of the Jewish members of Congress as well, of course, as black members. More evidence, if any were needed, that Religious Right posturing on Israel has nothing to do with seeking the welfare or support of Jews.
And this is the same Bibi Netanyahu about whom GWB and Clinton openly expressed their exasperation, so perhaps you also want to kill former presidents. Are there no depths of treachery to which you will not sink?
Hey, even I wouldn't wish death upon Mr. Cameron for trying to wriggle out of televised debates. Maybe you should cut them some slack, even if missing Netanyahu's address was considered to be a criminal offence it is not worthy of death.
It always amuses me how someone's fame over some form of media and opinion of themselves seems to always be inversely proportional.
I know I'm not the only person who's never heard of this bitch before this quote or the story it's taken from was put up, and she's basically going "FREEDOM OF SPEECH APPLIES ONLY TO ME ! ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH A SINGLE THING I BELIEVE IS A TRAITOR OF THE HIGHEST ORDER AND DESERVES DEATH FOR IT!"
US politicians are supposed to have allegiance to the USA. Not any other country.
And if you want Bibi criticism, read Ha'aretz. Lots of Israelis really hate him.
Here's a list of all the skippers, including Senators, Representatives, and a Delegate. I will put an asterisk after those I particularly like, whether for their ideas or their ability to git 'er done.
Senator Al Franken (MN)*

You are evil.
@Insult to Rocks
It would create a huge backlash against the Tea Party and possibly a large Democratic majority in 2016. Therefore, it would be incredibly counterproductive for this neo-fascist bastard to hang this many congresspeople. That said, I would never support the mass hanging of congresspeople. Not only would it result in the unnecessary death of progressive leaders, but hanging people tends to go against a little thing called morality. Much as I despise Todd Akin, I would not kill him.
@D Laurier
Bibi doesn't exactly represent all of Israel in terms of opinion. In fact, most support a two-state solution. I agree that he should be voted out of office, but to compare him to a Nazi? No, that's something you can do with Yochanan Gordon, who wrote a screed called "When Genocide is Permissible" on a well-known online newspaper.
So you start out with positive racism in favour of Netenyahu and then skip into negative racism to condemn black people in minority districts.
Yep, sounds like a fundie to me.
@ Yossarian Lives:
I wouldn't be abject to hanging Netanyahu from a noose in front of the capital building, though...
@Goomy pls
You call yourself a socialist and support any of those people? LOL
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
