The protocol here is when you post an article, you excerpt a portion of it to your post, thereby allowing others to get a little preview of the whole article. Just posting a string of links really doesn't do it.

Welcome to FreeRepublic.

Welcome to FR.
First post?

From the MSNBC article:

Stark would not comment on the message to NBC11 news.

However, a report in the Argus newspaper quoted him as saying he got his point across.

Only if his point was that he is an idiot.

Of course the PMSNBC article never mentions the guy is a Dem-O-Crap.

Fortney is a barking a-hole.

We already knew this.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Good, I hope he gets his @ss run out of Congress!

[mfulstone]

Looks like the dims are blowing it - cracking under the strain.

[I still care]

"Staff Sgt. Dan Dow, who is a member of the National Guard, said he wrote a letter to Stark criticizing the legislator's recent vote against a resolution condemning the abuse of Iraqi prisoners."

NBC, as usual, makes its best effort to get it wrong.

The resolution had TWO parts - one of which was COMMENDING the troops in Iraq. This was why the Sgt was upset 49 Democrats voted against it.

The article makes it sound as if he was upset because the Congressman WOULDN'T critcize the troops.

This Guy Is A Creep!

Yeah, I agree.

He reminds me of other creeps in that party, including the guy running for president.

Wasn't Stark involved in that flap in Congesss last year, whent he Capital Cops were called to the Rules committee..Stark made some threats against a GOP member..

[Dianna]

Good memory! Here is a quote:

In it, he quoted Stark as saying to McInnis, "You little fruitcake, you little fruitcake, I said you are a fruitcake." And, according a Republican leadership aide, the 72-year-old Stark called Thomas a vulgarity.

[RichInOC]

[ken5050]

Thanks..and good research, BTW...can I ask, how'd you dig it up?

[hchutch]

If Pete Stark worked in any other employment category than "elected official", he would have been fired and tossed out on his butt.

How this guy keeps in office is just amazing...
