Rep. Stark: I'll sell ladders to illegals at border wall
Washingtontimes.com - Water Cooler ^ | 7/2/10 | Kerry Picket

Rep. Pete Stark, California Democrat, appears to think security on our borders is not an important issue. The Golden Gate Minutemen posted video of an exchange during a recent town hall meeting on June 26 in Fremont, where the congressman asked a border security advocate in attendance, "Who are you going to kill today?" Mr. Stark continued to heckle and mock the town hall attendees who reacted in disbelief as the congressman disrespected his own constituents. (all emphasis is mine)

Mr. Stark made such outrageous statements like:

"If you knew anything about our border, you would know that's not the case. Our borders are quite secure, thank you."

What a ridiculous remark. The Federation for American Immigration and Reform cites Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Naturalization Services estimates on this issue:

What a combination of arrogance and ignorance. His constituents should be ashamed.

He's from the SF Bay Area. He represents his constituents perfectly.

Accessory: Law & Legal Definition

An accessory, in the context of criminal law, is a person who helps in the commission of a crime, such as by commanding the crime, driving the getaway car, providing the weapons, assisting in the planning, providing an alibi, or hiding the main offender after the crime. The accessory may or may not be present during the crime, but must be aware that the crime is going to be committed or has been committed. A principal offender cannot also be an accessory. The punishment for an accessory is usually lighter than for the principal offender. A criminal charge of aiding and abetting or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps in the commission of a crime, though legal distinctions vary by state.

I don’t understand the voters in his district. If I had a dog that stupid or that crazy, I would put it down.

That video showing Stark had to be the Mr. Ranier of American arrogance. It was beyond sickening; and just painful to watch. Stark's disgusting excuse for Leadership cannot stand. . .and neither can he.

It seems like these scum are more arrogant and condescending under Obama’s “leadership”. I was so mad watching this clip, I was hoping that the crowd would rush the guy and tar and feather him.

The only way Stark acts like this is if he’s got inside information about cancelled elections.

Stark is a punk like a lot of the blowhards in his district.

California is like that.

No question per 'Obama Era' politics and it's further degradation of civility to all but non-existant.. A win, for Chicago Politics and Jerry Springer. . .
