Democrats' iPad protest of Darrell Issa on House floor is shut down
NY Daily News ^ | 3/14/14 | Leslie Larson

The Cummings/Issa feud is the showdown that keeps on giving.

Democrats faced off with Republicans on the House floor, protesting GOP Rep. Darrell Issa's diss of Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings last week.

Cummings' colleagues stood on the House floor on Thursday, holding up tablets, iPhones and iPads with screen showing images of Issa shutting down Cummings during a committee hearing a week ago.

But the show of solidarity was closed down, with the presiding officer, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), deeming the display of electronic devices a violation of house rules.

Bunch of indolent children. They need a good spanking and sent to bed with no supper.

Yup. Children was the word that immediately came to mind.

Take their taxpayer-supplied pay checks away from them...and make them get an honest job and have to live with Obamacare.

Stinking jerks.

These are our nation’s “leaders?” How sad.

Is there ONE, dear God, just ONE attractive elected Democrat woman? Last one was Gabby Giffords, a fluke no doubt.

That was so childish. Bless their little hearts—they do not know any better. I would be ashamed of mine if they did that. I do not think libs have any sense at all.

No. They need to have their asses kicked out of DeeCee and find honest work growing potatoes or something.

Next up: Dems on House Floor in Guy Fawke's masks...

Idiotic, immature, petulant children. This action should get them expelled from the House.

Despite the idiotic display, I still support TV cameras in Congress.

In part because of the display, I do not support TV cameras in Scotus.

Actually, I’ll say that some of them look a little embarrassed.

But that’s the life of a Dem these days. One humiliation after another in the service of The Won.

I hope the November elections are a major, major humiliation for all of them.

the reply should be Lerner with her ugly IRS foot on the neck of innocent americans.

The left lives to protect government from the people.

Ah, the Democrats going to their usual bag of old tricks. It won’t be long until Issa is accused of being a racist. It’s only March and the lefties are already cracking up. You know their internal numbers must be pathetic for them to stage this amateurish stunt on the house floor.

Look again. The ones who appear embarrassed are the ones who either don't have, or forgot, their iPads.

What do you think is the average IQ of the people in that picture? If I’m not mistaken that’s Shelia Jackson Lee in the lower right corner. She looks focused on something important. She must be googling to find that picture of the astronauts planting the American flag on the surface of Mars and finding the evidence that our constitution is really 400 years old. Knock at least 100 IQ points if she’s in the group.

Issa never dissed Cummings, for the Times to
describe the incident in this way really pisses me off. IT’S CALLED MAINTAINING ORDER. The “diss” was on the Chairman. If Cummings does not understand the process going on in front of him, then he shouldn’t have even been there. If it was a purposeful distract and attack technique, he shouldn’t have been there.
Either way..
