John Boehner’s last two serious challengers for his Ohio eighth district congressional seat both got fired during their campaigns — and one of them was told explicitly that he was getting canned for running against Boehner.
The Daily Caller exclusively reported Monday that Boehner’s tea party primary challenger J.D. Winteregg was fired from his job as an adjunct professor at Ohio’s Cedarville University for running an anti-Boehner campaign ad accusing the speaker of “Electile Dysfunction.” Winteregg is challenging Boehner in the district’s May 6 Republican primary.
“I would say the raciness of it, sure,” was the reason the Christian college fired Winteregg, Cedarville University spokesman Mark Weinstein told TheDC, referring to the sexual innuendo in Winteregg’s ad. Weinstein also told FoxNews.com that “(At Cedarville) we don’t get into politics.”
But Cedarville University chancellor Dr. William Brown participated in a press conference Monday in Ohio calling for Boehner, his congressman, to pass immigration reform. Brown participated in the event one day before joining a group of pastors in flying to Washington, D.C. to meet with their representatives to discuss the issue. Cedarville University has featured an internship in Boehner’s congressional office as an official discipline-related experience for students.
Winteregg is not the first Boehner challenger to lose his employment while on the campaign trail.
Justin Coussoule, a West Point graduate and former army captain working as a purchasing manager for Cincinnati-based consumer products manufacturer Procter & Gamble in Ohio when he ran against Boehner as a Democrat in 2010, was fired from his job for taking on the veteran lawmaker.
I BLANKIN HATE THIS ORANGE BASTARD!
Boehner ought to be fired from HIS job, not only for being incompetent, but for acting like a Democrat thug….Chicago-style. This is the nasty tactic that Obama himself used to win his Senate race. No wonder these two can get along so well.
Boehner do us all a huge favor.
Get out of the way.
At least now we know Boehner can play hardball.
He just has to have an enemy to go after.
Boehner’s primary is next Tuesday!
If the GOP was secretly controlled by the same men that control Obama and the Democrats would they act any differently than they do now?

P.S. I don't think they would hire me either, given my use of the gifts of the Spirit, something they claim are not for today.
And he only considers conservatives the enemy.
In practical terms, Boehner is a Catholic - the Catholic priests are telling their flock that amnesty is good and should be supported as the “Christian” thing to do. We can blame Boehner, but it’s the ignorant masses who keep putting him and the rest of the Oligarch back in office.
I saw the video - it made me laugh out loud. I wish it would work to bring people to their senses, but it won’t. And this man will have to find another job for his trying to help our country.
“At least now we know Boehner can play hardball.”
Absolutely Boenher can play hardball. The man is tough as nails when it comes to protecting the big-government gravy train he’s feeding off of.
Anyone who calls this guy “spineless” is completely missing the problem. Boehner and all the other GOPe RINOs capitulate to the Obama administration because they and their Chamber-of-Commerce Corporate masters stand to make a big pile of money on the ACA and Amnesty and other Federal Government overreaches.
This fits with our corrupt “congressman for life” political system.
