Many of you have probably already seen this. While I wish this was an April fools joke...I'm so glad it isn't...because its just too good... Rep. Hank Johnson thinks islands can capsize This guy represents the 4th District of Georgia, which is where his predecessor and fellow screwloose Cynthia McKinney came from. Clearly, there is something in the water in that part of Georgia. (One thing not in their water...REAL islands) I know the quality of the video isn't too great, but you can almost see the Admiral trying to hold back his smirk, and the woman behind him is...

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is afraid that the U.S. Territory of Guam is going to "tip over and capsize" due to overpopulation. Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the defense budget Thursday. Addressing Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy's Pacific Fleet, Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and said sternly, "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize." Willard paused and said: "We don't anticipate that." Like other islands, Guam is attached to the sea floor, which makes it extremely...

In reviling testimonyon the Hill today, Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson discovered the military may be covering up that the redeployment of military bases to Guam may cause the island to "Tip" over. Rep. Johnson asked Generals if an Island 7 miles by 12 miles had enough space to support military operations. The military, reluctant to answer under the Johnson's relentless pressure, said "Congressman I don't know but can get back to you". Rep Johnson's asked "How big is Guam if it were 24 miles by 7 miles". The General trying to obfuscate admitted "Congressman, I don't know, but I would...

Democrat Hank Johnson says that if a few more military families move to the island of Guam, it could capsize. Unbelievable!

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."

Unfortunately, this is NOT an April Fools' joke. No commentary is needed... just watch and lament the fact that this imbecile has a vote in the House. Wow.

A tale, on video, from the mouth of Georgia's idiot Congresscriminal Hank Johnson.

Thank goodness the recent boorish outburst by Congressman Joe (“You lie!”) has finally brought to light the real racial problems in America. Hank Johnson, a black Democratic Congressman from Atlanta, had this to say about Joe Wilson’s outburst: “I guess we’ll probably have folks putting on white hoods . . . and riding through the countryside, intimidating people.” Wow, Congressman Johnson, you definitely hit the nail on the head: We should be worried about thugs concealing their identities and terrorizing whole communities. Of course, if Congressman Johnson were from Anniston, Alabama, he would know that this has already happened. As...

A plea by California Representative Laura Richardson that House Democrats respond after Republican Joe Wilson shouted “you lie” at President Barack Obama last week helped spur her party’s leaders to action. The “careful but passionate” words delivered at a House Democratic caucus the morning after Wilson’s outburst by a black lawmaker who rarely speaks at such meetings carried such an impact that “you couldn’t ignore that message and that input,” Representative John Larson, the Democratic caucus chairman recalled yesterday. ______________snip Shown Disrespect Wilson “kind of winked at that element” of society that has shown disrespect to Obama because of his...

Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst last week is drawing new recriminations on the House floor, with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus suggesting that a failure to rebuke Wilson is tantamount to supporting the most blatant form of organized racism in American history. In an obvious reference to the KKK, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will put on "white hoods and ride through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an example. ~~ The punishment is expected take the form...

Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst last week is drawing new recriminations from his colleagues, with a member of the Congressional Black Caucus suggesting that a failure to rebuke the South Carolina Republican is tantamount to supporting the most blatant form of organized racism in American history. In an obvious reference to the Ku Klux Klan, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said Tuesday that people will be putting on "white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside" if emerging racist attitudes, which he says were subtly supported by Wilson, are not rebuked. He said Wilson must be disciplined as an...

This video is amazing. The turnout for this town hall had to break records. Check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KajineWY6vA

Congressman Hank Johnson, who represents most of Brookhaven, will be holding a town hall meeting on health care reform legislation on Monday, August 10, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Cole Auditorium on the Clarkston Campus of Georgia Perimeter College. If you have the time, I hope you will make the short trip around I-285 to express your views on this important issue. One of my constituents brought up a good point about why this meeting is important: “If you write Congressman Johnson a letter or an e-mail, it’s highly unlikely he’ll see it. This is an opportunity where...

WASHINGTON — Dissension among Democrats flared anew on Friday as a top House Democrat threatened to bypass his own committee to speed passage of a bill to provide health insurance for tens of millions of Americans. But by the end of the day, Democrats said they were trying to patch up their differences. The threat by the Democrat, Representative Henry A. Waxman of California, came on a day of fast-paced developments that laid bare tensions between liberal House Democratic leaders and fiscally conservative Democrats in the House Blue Dog Coalition. For President Obama, the turmoil in the House represented just...

The impeachment movement is gaining traction, and now - over the next two weeks - is the time to push it all the way to success. Over the weekend, supporters of impeachment made "Impeach Cheney" the number 1 video on Youtube. On Friday, for the first time, a polling company asked Americans if they want Cheney impeached. A majority of 54% said Yes, and the poll was reported in the media. Congressman John Conyers even cited it on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. On July 4, the day of throwing off King Georges, an Impeach Bush and Cheney petition passed...

The Politico reported on Monday that a Democrat Congressman demanded that the notorious terrorist supporting Marxist front group Code Pink be allowed to attend the classified House briefing by Gen. Petraeus last week.According to an unnamed Republican who participated in the meeting, Rep. Hank Johnson, Jr. stunned the panel by demanding an explanation for why the Code Pink protesters just outside the closed hearing room weren't allowed inside. His fellow Democrats had to set him straight and his demand was rejected.Johnson is a freshman who defeated Code Pink ally Cynthia McKinney in a primary run-off last August. Even though Code...

Representative Hank Johnson of Georgia's 4th Congressional District has decided to “explain” whey he supports the cut and run act proposed by the House last week on a New Blog he has set up. Johnson’s blog is being hosted by the “Moderate Blog Network” and some may feel that the first term Georgia Representative fits that title well. Johnson, for those who may not know, is the candidate that beat the unstable Cynthia McKinney in the last election in the 4h District and next to her ANYONE would seem “moderate”. Johnson is nothing, though, if not a typical, far left...

List all Elections FReepers are interested in here! I'll be following the Connecticut Senate battle closely. Post Away! HARTFORD, Conn. — As Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman fights for his political life, his campaign on Tuesday accused his opponent's backers of hacking into the senator's campaign Web site and shutting it down just in time for Connecticut's primary Election Day.

Trinity Baptist Church in Ellenwood in south DeKalb County was one of the polling places where U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney and challenger Hank Johnson jockeyed for the Democratic nomination to represent the Fourth District. Shawn Manns, like many McKinney supporters, blamed the media for a negative portrayal of the outspoken lawmaker. “I think it was a witch hunt,” the 38-year-old Atlanta firefighter said. “She’s had her controversy but she’s human. I feel like she’s done a good job.” On the other side was Gregory Johnson, a 45-year-old mortgage banker. He said he voted for Hank Johnson because he “has his...
