Texas official suggests bombing Muslims with nuclear weapons By IND on August 18, 2015
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has posted a Facebook photo suggesting bombing of “the Muslim world†with nuclear weapons.
The Facebook photo posted on Sunday night shows a mushroom cloud rising up through the air after the explosion of an atomic bomb with a text saying “Japan has been at peace with the US since August 9, 1945. It’s time we made peace with the Muslim world.â€
On August 6, 1945, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and three days later another atomic bomb on Nagasaki during World War II, killing at least 129,000 civilians and prompting Japan’s unconditional surrender.
Miller’s Facebook photo was removed sometime on Monday morning but it has received more than 300 comments.
He is now under harsh criticism but has not apologized for posting the controversial photo. His office has not responded to requests for comment.
Sid Miller will not apologize for the social media post that calls for the atomic bombing of “the Muslim world.†Todd Smith, the Republican’s campaign spokesman, said that, “We’re not going to apologize for the posts that show up on our Facebook page.â€
Smith said about 18 people have access to the campaign account. “I don’t know who did it, but I’m not going to start a witch hunt to find out who did.â€
Texas Democrats released a statement Monday afternoon condemning Miller’s post.
“It is unacceptable for Republican Sid Miller to be promoting such disgusting rhetoric. Sadly, this kind of racist, xenophobic hate speech qualifies you for higher office with Republicans’ Tea Party fringe base,†said Manny Garcia, Texas Democratic Party’s deputy executive director.
“We hope Sid Miller shows some respect for Texans and the responsibility of holding state office and issues an apology,†he added.
In January, Miller said that he could not sleep at night for the fear of the United States becoming a “Muslim country.â€
During the Texas Public Policy Foundation forum, he raised the issue, asking, “Are we doing enough?â€
would save a lot of drama over the next few years.
and hey dems, go ##### yourselves.
xenophobic. whatever.
Something-phobic is the new weapon of the left. it sickens me. it’s up there with empower, safe space, you go girl, check your privilege, etc.
they can go to hell. they’re not my fellow citizens.
Sounds great until you realize not everyone who has them is someone you want to give that green light to.
Pick a place like France and Russia did, and level it with conventional weapons. When that doesn't work pick another. Keep it up until someone yells uncle and means it.
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.
Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

I’m gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I’m gonna toss the Styrofoam container right out the side
And there ain’t a god******* thing anybody can do about it
You know why? Because we got the bombs, that’s why
Two words, nuclear ****ing weapons, okay?
Russia, Germany, Romania
They can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cake walk
Right through the middle of Tienanmen square
And it won’t make a lick of difference
Because we’ve got the bombs, okay? John Wayne’s not dead
He’s frozen and as soon as we find the cure for cancer
We’re gonna thaw out the duke and he’s gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well multiply that by 15 million times
That’s how pissed off the Duke’s gonna be
I’m gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes
(Hey)
And Lee Marvin
(Hey)
And Sam Peckinpah
(Hey)
And a case of whiskey and drive down to Texas

Every time they say “Xenophobic,” someone should ring a tiny little bell.
lol.
we should have a game where we each pick one of the new “terms” and whichever one is said the most by dems that week wins :)
The reporter says it like it is a bad thing!
The duke never serve a day, an hour or a minute. You phuckin’ puzzies, always cast movie stars- as your ideals.
You can kill them, you can bomb them, you can even nuke them, but until the magic space rock in Mecca is turned into a sizzling pile of oozing glass, there will always be more of them.
Actually that's what ISIS wants, they think it represents Idolatry, instead of "true" Islam.
Woot woot! Sid Miller was my state representative; I’ve met him several times. He lost his reelection bid to a RINO a while back, but was eventually elected Ag Commissioner for the entire state of Texas, as you see. I’ll bet the RINO and his supporters never saw THAT one coming, lol.
Go Sid!!
Smoke that rock, and all that worship it.
That looks very Macro-aggressive!
“The use of nuclear weapons gives the green light to others when they want to use them.”
It does exactly the opposite. right now the risk is increased because nobody believes we will ever use them.
But B-52 iron bomb rain like linebacker II is the sentimental favorite.
Smart bombs work against us in one important way. They don’t spread terror and utterly break the hearts of the recipients.
Sure as spit, they are going to bomb you with nukes.
I LOVE IT..!!!
