Steny Hoyer: Radio host comments ‘dangerous’
By JAKE SHERMAN | 4/13/10 12:45 PM EDT
The No. 2 Democrat in the House blasted a Minnesota radio host for calling Democrats lying, thieving, communists at a rally for Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin in Minneapolis.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said he was “very, very concerned and disappointed” by Minneapolis radio host Chris Baker, who spoke at the rally last week alongside the two Republicans, rallying up the crowd by calling Democrats in Washington “lying, thieving ... bunch of commies.”
“I don’t think that’s very useful, not only do I not think it’s useful, I think it creates an atmosphere and a debate that is neither constructive and can sometimes be dangerous,” Hoyer said at his weekly meeting with reporters.
Hoyer waded directly into the anger that has been bubbling nationwide over the health care overhaul vote, calling on lawmakers to “urge the American people and conduct ourselves in a way that provides an environment for the civility.” While acknowledging differences between members of Congress and political parties, Hoyer said “debate ought to be civil, ought to be constructive and ought to be designed to educate the public, not to incite the public as to the positions of each party.”

Not nearly as dangerous as this Congress.
Putz.
Seems to me King George the third made similar decrees and binding them on the colonists.

Truth hurts................The stuck pig squeals the loudest...............
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Steny,
Can you pull me out your comments denouncing Al Gore when he called our President a liar and said he lied to get us into a war with Iraq. I’ll be waiting..
Now sit down and shut up.
He will blame all attacks by the dums on Radio hosts.
Dums can’t control themselves. Dums are violent thugs that are easily manipulated by words.
Just look at who is Prez. They bought his BS hook, line, and sinker.
Newsbusters has an article entitled “Lib Talker Malloy Calls For Deaths of Limbaugh, Beck and O’Reilly” yet I don’t remember Hoyer calling the talk radio host Malloy “dangerous.”
I guess only conservatives are dangerous to Hoyer...
Since when is telling the truth dangerous?
The truth is now “dangerous” LOL Bring it on Rats!
PING
What goes around comes around. We’re just “getting in your face”, you POS.
I no longer give a rip for civility. I watched you and your donk buddies make a s***hole out of my home state of Maryland, and I won't stand idly by to watch you and Zero do it to my country, too.
What will be, will be.
And exactly what part of this description is inaccurate, Congressman Hoyer?
You describe it as "unhelpful". But, then, so are you and your henchmen.
Look around, jagoff ... I'M friggin' dangerous .. and everyone I know and 99% of whom I know about.
Here's a clue ... we're comin' after you ... (Those are almost all one syllable words ... I hope you're not confused)
This is unamerican, how can people be allowed to criticize their government!!???
