Thank you, Arkansas Republicans, for making Louie Gohmert look sane.

The Benton County Republican Party Newsletter (who knew they could read?) says —

“We need to let those who will come in the future to represent us [know] that we are serious. The 2nd amendment means nothing unless those in power believe you would have no problem simply walking up and shooting them if they got too far out of line and stopped responding as representatives.”

No, seriously.

But at least he did say, “I don’t feel the same way about the Democrats as bullet backstops as I do about the Republicans who joined them.”   Phew, that makes a lot of Democrats feel better.

They also say in that same newsletter …

I am very excited to announce confirmation of Governor Nikki R. Haley from South Carolina will be our guest speaker at our Lincoln Day Dinner Event on Monday, May 13, 2013.

Gee, I hope Nikki doesn’t hack them off, but somebody ought to warn hr just the same.
