Tennessee Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen called tea party congressional Republicans “domestic enemies” against which he must defend the country, describing them as rabid, sophomoric and in ambitious pursuit of their policies.

“I obviously do not have an opportunity to go within the conference, the Republican — we call it a caucus, they call it a conference,” Cohen said on Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Up with Steve Kornacki.” “But I know some of the members there — and a lot of those members — they’re rabid, they’re sophomoric, literally, they’re second term in Congress, never worked in politics before, and they think they are somehow like — it’s all talked in military terms. They think they’re some kind of guerrillas there to strike a blow for freedom.”

The Tennessee Democrat warned the tea party may try to pursue its shutdown strategy once again. But he added that it was his duty as a member of Congress to support the country from all enemies domestic and foreign — portraying the tea party members as domestic enemies...

I’d love to have this troll-looking pinhead try and arrest me.

The rhetoric and the meme is growing louder and more pronounced.

This is the stage before round-ups begin.

Make no mistake, and do not underestimate what will be attempted to not only criminalize Conservatives, but in the name of security and the promise of normalcy ERADICATE those they are depicting as domestic enemies.

Every single time in history when a government and it’s agents demonize a particular group of people - without exception that group will find itself being exterminated.

Gosh, that means they can be arrested and detained indefinitely without legal representation under the NDAA.

Dehumanization, one of R.J. Rummel’s stages of genocide. Cohen won’t come for you. He’s an Eichmann who sends others to do it.

Steve Cohen ("Let's keep goin' with Cohen") lives right down the street from me. He's a very hard working community organizer. I do give him a lot of credit for effort. I also give him no credit for having a brain. He panders to people's emotions. In his district the majority of his peeps run on nothing but emotion, EBT cards, GLBT chutzpah, government worker union garbage, and would wither away on the vine without federal money coming into his district, of which 27% of the entire population is on EBT cards.

He's trapped in social spending hell. Pay is the same for him either way.

He also couldn't tie AC Wharton's shoes as far as being a skilled politician.

Considering his district is one of the highest murder mecca’s of the country, and that it’s a criminal cesspool nicknamed “Moghadishu on the Mississippi”, maybe he should start arresting those criminals first.

We’re not dealing with a people who are divided over an institution of slavery - we’re dealing with MARXISTS hell-bent on eradicating anyone who disagrees with them and imposing their utopia by corruption and then by force.

No, what I’m saying is that there will probably be a flash point like that caning that’ll bring everything to a head. Look for it.

Cohen is certifiably crazy. He’s a white Jewish far-leftist who wants to be “black” so he can join the Congressional Black Caucus. Even liberal Jews are ashamed of him, and even the CBC laughs at him. They view him as a “minstrel clown”.

What a pathetic creature. Hope the good people of Tennesse come to their senses and get rid of him like the people of George did with marxist lunatic Cynthia McKinney (and her anti-semitic father).

You’d think that a member of congress, with a Rolls-Royce level health plan that he pays absolutely nothing for would have the time to visit a dermatologist. And a barber for that matter. Haircuts are still $5 there, if I remember correctly.

It’s precisely this same kind of rhetoric and these same attitudes from politicians in the left that caused the IRS to target conservative and religious groups.

They are as they accuse.

He’s got enough goblins in his own mind without supplying him with more.
