U.S. Congressman and Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich: The U.S. Must Pay Reparations to the People of Iraq

Transcript here

Kucinich: "I crafted my peace plan with the help of people who served in the U.N., including peace-keeping missions over the years, who understand that not only must we stabilize Iraq, but we also must pay reparations to the people of Iraq for the great human tragedy that has been caused."

Can someone - anyone? - explain how someone like Kucinich, who is clearly INSANE by ANY standard of rationality, can garner enough votes to be elected to ANY office of public trust and responsibility? Please?

[SAMS]

What an effin’ moron!

[SolidWood]

His voters are equally insane. Well at least almost.

[353FMG]

“What an SOB! He should not be let back into the USA!”

And his constituents should be deported.

[technomage]

These politicians are pretty care free when spending OUR MONEY!!

[rbosque]

The Democrats should be arrested for siding with the enemy during a time of war. That’s treason.

[353FMG]

“..CONTINUEING TO PAY WITH THE BLOOD OF OUR FINEST!!!”

While their country is being sold out behind their backs as they serve overseas.

[shankbear]

Dennis you communist puke....kiss my fat ass.

[ustanker]

This guy is such a WUSS!

[MaestroLC]

This man is a total disgrace to America. A buffoon. A creep.

We are paying with our blood.

This jerk needs to resign. I DEMAND KUCINICH RESIGN!

What’s that Idiot talking about reparations.

The U.S. is spending billions of taxpayer dollars trying to rehabilitate Iraq in an effort to get the Iraqi populace to join with us to defeat the Bathists an the AlQeda creeps.

So far things are working.

That pretty well sums up Kucinich and the rest of the left-wing nuts in one statement.

Kucinich should have experienced Saddam's rape rooms and wood chipper, feet first.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

[Cvengr]

I strongly suspect the linkage is more closely associated to contracting mechanisms where the Congressman is encouraging some deep pocket pay incredibly large sums of money to foreign recipients and in return he and his party are empire building elsewhere without accountability.

One way to stop this is to mandate all the his constituents foot the bill first, as well as finance reparations for all the damages caused by Iraq since the first Gulf War. Then we’ll see how well the voting public supports his views.

[Maceman]

Well, maybe we can talk about that after the Democrats first pony up reparations to American blacks for being at the FOREFRONT of slavery, Jim Crow, and opposition to civil rights for black people when the vote was actually taken.

[Brilliant]

The American people have got to be the most stupid people in the world to elect idiots like this to Congress.
