I Guess Louie Needs to Pray More Often
Louie Gohmert is refusing to do town halls out in east Texas. Do you want to know why? He doesn’t want you to get shot.
“At this time there are groups from the more violent strains of the leftist ideology, some even being paid, who are preying on public town halls to wreak havoc and threaten public safety,” Gohmert said in a statement.
“Threats are nothing new to me and I have gotten my share as a felony judge. However, the House Sergeant at Arms advised us after former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot at a public appearance, that civilian attendees at Congressional public events stand the most chance of being harmed or killed—just as happened there.”
There’s a couple of bean dip dumb things about that statement.
First off, Gohmert has voted against every sensible piece of gun legislation in the seven years since Giffords was shot. If he is concerned about your safety, ‘plain that.
Second off, Gohmert has attended every damn gun fetish and Come-And-Take-It flag waving tea party demonstration in this whole country. And he’s scared of some kale-eating liberals?
.
Yeah, these really look like some bad hombres.
Third off, how come it’s perfectly safe for Louie to speak at the country club but not the high school cafeteria?
Y’all, Louie was not a “felony judge.” There is no such thing as a felony judge in Texas. So, if you see him, please refer to him as a so-called felony judge. However, I admit it was a felony for his jerk to ever be a judge.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
But I thought that liberals hated guns and none of them owned any.
So just which gun-totin’ liberals is Louie afraid of?
1It must be those same liberals who all hate Christians so much ’cause of course no liberals are Christians.
2Lynn, he’s afraid of everydamnone to the left of batshit crazy rightwing squirral poop.
3Woe the trans-idiots. Not allowed to speak stupid at the town hall of their choice.
The other day, Tony Perkins asserted that George Soros is paying protesters and shipping them to town halls to be disruptive. Just an observation on my part but stuff like this is why liberals and progressives are in a losing streak. Mr. Soros? Does it not bother you that these people lie about you? You are very rich and can certainly afford a libel and slander case. Do it.
When you allow others to define who you are without challenge, you deserve the bad image.
4Ms JJ you missed this link. It was in the Crooks and Liars post about Louie,

Absolutely Hillary-ous!
5” However, I admit it was a felony for his jerk to ever be a judge.”
Was a time long ago, before my birth, it was ‘acceptable’ that members of the House be somewhat crazy. Guys like Louie and cantaloupe Steve King exceed that ‘acceptable’ boundary with no thanks to the gerrymandering boundaries that gave these incompetent crazies a seat in government.
Clean the swamp? Let’s begin by cleaning up Congress. Give these pathetic critters a choice – stop Orange Foolius or be prepared for AI to redraw your districts. The obvious is killing me, when NC’s voter restrictions were declared “with almost surgical precision.” No “almost” about it.
Now we have Jefferson Beauregard Sessions with NO regard for the law and Betsy let’s profiteer education Devos attacking children. The most vulnerable children, transgender teens. Really? Advance the “rule of law” and improve education by scapegoating teens?
6Slightly O/T: I just read that the Arizona GOP Senate passed a bill to essentially make protesting illegal. Got that? The bill allows police to arrest organizations planning a protest and to sieze assets before charges or trial even occurs. Yeah… I’m looking at you Arizona! Bye, bye First Amendment.
7Actually him preying is the problem.
8He preys every morning to his white christian god that all the dirty liberals, Muslims, gays, etc. go to Hell.
fourthly of all, Gabby Giffords is a Demoract. She was shot by a lunatic gun toting idiot republican! is that redundant? yeah i guess it is in a multitude of ways.
9Oh, very on-topic, JAK. If passed and signed, wonder how long it is before it’s tested in Federal court?
10Could it be that his being a judge was a felony ? Just asking. We all know that screwy Louie could never lie.
11JAKvirginia, what’s the problem? Like the state(s) legislatures that would make running down protesters with vehicles the “logical” extension of ‘stand your ground.’ What the hey – my right to get home on time or make my way to a supermarket exceeds life. This from the forced birther ‘pro’ life hubris hypocrites that so love the embryos, until they actually draw breath to need food, housing, clothing, education and dog help them, medical care.
But, screw our right to shop, attend a movie or use a bathroom, while nut jobs like the Bundy boyz and their ilk commit terrorism on a daily basis in multiple locales.
SnacilbupeR respect law enforcement? Really? Where was their outrage when two members of LE were assassinated for their ‘crime’ of having lunch by two Bundy gang ammosexuals?
12If only Loopy Louie could distinguish between praying and preying… or the ‘thoughts’ in his head and an aneurysm.

13If I knew that my representative in Congress were Louie, I’d want to take a shot at him. And everybody who voted for him. And I hate guns.
14Louie afraid of a gun? I’m so shocked I just clutched my pearls!
15Fun with numbers
Congressional District 1 is approximately 7,860 square miles. Its population in 2010 was 698,488 of whom 175,000 were under voting age & just over 100,000 were 65+. Ethnic breakdown is 60% White, 18% Black, 17% Hispanic and 5% Other
In November 260,343,people voted in Louie’s district. 192,434 of them voted for him He says that he requires attendance of 130,000 to have a town hall, that is about 68% of the people who voted for him.
Pretty important man in his own mind.
16What Loony Louie and all these other politicritters keep forgetting is they are all replaceable. We try to do so every two years. We don’t want them to get shot but if it happens, que sera, sera, we will find someone else to fill their seats.
17“Paid protesters,” and “violent liberals.” Must be Gooberspeak for “anyone smart enough not to believe my GooberBS.”

19Oh, brother! “Outside agitators” again? After all these damn years? Really? And they will never admit that they recognize some of their own campaign volunteers in the front row at their town hall meetings giving them hell! Paid my “bass”! That paid protestors crap is right down there with Leander Perez’s contention that only white people have fully developed brains!
20Charles, he’s afraid of everydamnone to the left of batshit crazy rightwing squirral poop and he’s operating on a Möbius strip.
21Screwy Louie
22Oh, oh
He’s gotta go
Ai yi yi yi yi yi.
Pancho Sanza, you win today’s Internet Wit Award. Congratulations.
23Strange how all the shooter incidents have been Alt-Right nutcases.
24@Bananas: Louie “requires attendance of 130,000 to have a town hall”? Where the blazes does he expect to hold one– the Dallas Cowboys stadium?
25Republicans are yellow-bellied cowards and we’re supposed to believe that they will protect us from the “terrorists”. They’re even hiding from old people using walkers and school kids who speak more coherently than these white gibbering congressfools. What I want to know is who will protect us from the Republicans?
26Perhaps Louie was a felonious judge? Sort of like the old joke: is he a criminal lawyer? Oh, yes, very much so…
27“If you can’t take the heat, get out of Congress.” Hillary Clinton
She said that in a speech she gave just a few days ago I believe. I think the snacilbupeR plan of ducking constituents is backfiring on them because condemnation is nearly universal. Attending their own townhalls isn’t going that well either. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Bwahahahahahaha!
My own representative, a slimy weasel named Jason Lewis, is doing his fair share of hiding out. We’ve held a town hall without him and it was very good. Well, as good as can be expected without Jerkoff Loves-it.
28@ Rhea Good question guess you would have to ask him, is it in his district?
It was in the Longview News Journal:
“There was a representative that came over and spoke to the group that was across the street,” said Democratic Women of East Texas communications officer Rachel Corbitt. “And he told them that we need 130,000 people (to hold a town hall). … But until then (Gohmert) is not going to hold any public town halls. He is going to do telephone town halls.”
