If this were a Republican, someone would have burned at the stake in the MSM. This is incredible. The bias just never ceases to amaze me.

I remember this. This kind of behavior is typical of Stark.

Right. Just compare the recent outburst by Stark on the floor of the House and the media coverage of it as compared to coverage of the comments made last year by Jean Schmidt (Republican), which were far more tame than those made by Stark.

I notice he has NO problem using the Lord's name in a terrible fashion (i.e. God - damn).

Let me tell everyone here that this Congressman is on his way to Hell itself. Yes - Hell is REAL.

2008 election campaign ads:

Durbin (nazis), Kerry (stuck in Iraq), Murtha (cold blooded killers), Stark (this + last week), Reid (the war is lost: next to numbers/charts showing change). Then, cut to Kerry comments re: economy (unemployment, next great depression, no jobs: next to charts/numbers of millions of jobs created.

End with: Democrats have been saying the President lied for years now. Who lied? (Dem WMD quotes + Plame lie: no involvement, Joe Wilson lie).

Sky, as I understand it Stark is an atheist.

He won't know about hell until he dies, and then does he have a rude awakening.

Let's just cut through the rumors, the debate, and the defense from DU.

Stark is a homosexual.

Amen sir / ma'am. He won't - unless we save him through Christ.

Jesus can save any sin, no matter how great.

Here’s the transcript:

“Dan, this is Congressman ‘Pete’ Stark, and I just got your fax and you don’t know what you’re talking about. So if you care about enlisted people you wouldn’t have voted for that thing, either. But probably somebody put you up to this, and I’m not sure who it was, but I doubt if you could spell half the words in the letter. Somebody wrote it for you so I don’t pay much attention to it, but I’ll call you back later and let you tell me more about why you think you’re such a great G_d-damn hero and why you think that this general and the defense department who forced these poor enlisted (bitter laughter) guys to do what they should shouldn’t be held to account. That’s the issue. So if you want to stick it to a bunch of enlisted guys have your way, but if you want to get to the bottom of people who forced this awful program in...Iraq, then you should understand more about it than you obviously do. Thanks.”

Basically, Stark was responding to a letter written by a veteran, saying that the veteran obviously didn't write it, because he couldn't possibly understand all the big words in it, and concluded by saying the equivalent of "drop dead", but that he would call back to discuss the realities of the Iraq war with the "dimwit" soldier, sometime soon.

Indeed, Stark seems to possess all the attributes necessary to be a fine committed Marxist. Classic A$$ole.

We can't save him, only Christ can. We can pray for him, but it is all up to God.

This is why it is never a good idea to return phone calls or write e-mails when drinking.

Was there even a coherent statement in his little tirade? What a complete jerk!

U.S. Rep. Pete Stark “Comes Out” as an Atheist

Amanda Phillips

Humanist Chaplain Greg Epstein presents Congressman Stark with the Harvard Humanist of the Year award. Media Credit: Dave Gordon

“Coming out” as the first openly nontheist member of the United States Congress, Representative Fortney “Pete” Stark (D-CA) quipped, “I’m pleased that I’m in Cambridge and not in Salem!” On September 20, 2007, Congressman Stark spoke publicly for the first time about his atheism to an audience of approximately 300 members of the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard, the Harvard Law School Heathen Society, and various other atheist, agnostic, secular, humanist, and nonreligious groups. The Boston Globe was also on hand to cover the event.

Stark, who is a Unitarian, is the highest-ranking American politician to openly declare that he is nontheist. Although Stark denies a belief in a god, he was quick to note that the Stark family does recognize a supreme being: Mrs. Stark.

Stark did apologize (after a fashion) first to the troops with an additional swipe at "chicken-hawks" and President Bush. Then a second apology was issued to the President and his family.

The man is clearly unstable and the dims are unable to control this loose cannon. Forget the apologies, this waste of skin should be censured by the House. write/fax/phone your Representative and slap the wood to this despicable individual.

Regards,
GtG

Yes, this deluded, devoid, hellbound, demoniac sort of apologized....then he cried....then he was APPLAUDED by the other deluded, devoid, hellbound demoniacs that are Demonrats in the US Congress.

Yes he too can be saved.....and I wish hell on no person.

Never heard of Stark til now - and he wanted that way - saying he was going to be glad to go back to his “insignificant” state of affairs, just collecting taxpayer’s hard earned cash and doing nothing but working to destroy our country at every opportunity.

Thing is, Mr. Stark, people will not forget this nor will they forgive it. They will remember that those comments you uttered for the RECORD in our Congress came from YOUR mouth, from YOUR “Party”, sanctioned by “YOUR LEADERSHIP”, applauded by YOUR friends......and you, sir, are a dipstick waiting to be stuck in the ground permanently.....along with your “party”.

The only Americans who endorse your words from hell are those who really are NOT Americans in heart, mind, and souls.....so get used to being VERY SIGNIFICANT and VERY LOATHED.

So the apology he gave for his recent assinine comment is not accepted since we can assume he didn’t mean it.

Actually the first apology was to his collegues in Congress, than to the President and his family, THAN as an afterthought to the troops.
