Schumer: ‘A Gun Held’ To Our Heads by GOP Over FAA Funding
Cybercast News Service ^ | 8/3/11 | Nicholas Ballasy

Posted on 08/03/2011 7:13:08 PM PDT by Nachum

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) accused House Republicans of “hostage taking” for not passing a “clean” short-term extension to fund the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with no cuts, comparing the situation to “a gun held” by the GOP to the heads of Democrats. “The issue is not essential air service. It’s not even a labor issue. It’s the issue of hostage taking. It’s as if someone puts a gun to your head and says ‘give me your money’ and then you say, ‘why won’t you give them their money?’

Obama got all the money. Took it and then set off on a joy ride around the country (with the birthday bash to get things started).

Is all this violent rhetoric the result of some focus group studies in Lansing or something?

I really don't think there's enough blue ribbon in the world to cover the brazen, utter, hideous chutzpah of a LIBERAL who DARES to utter the phrase "Republicans put a gun to our head and said 'give us your money'."

It's a lot like Hitler complaining about Jews exterminating Aryan Germans.

Or like Stalin saying that the Kulaks were starving Russian leadership in a planned pogrom.

It's just freakin' insane, Jim. Schumer is genuine my-head-just-exploded material.

Schummer has been busy hammering the shackles closed on all the grandchildren in this country. Somebody has to pay for this. Who said the dems are against slavery?

God help us if Schumer is on the special Super Congress. This subversive worm has been instrumental in the banking collapse of 2008. If they allow him on the Super Congress, he will insure that America’s destruction is complete.

Isn't this EXACTLY what liberals do? Put guns to our head and say 'give me your money'?

EXACTLY! Thugs, gangs, liberals, socialists, "progressives", communists, totalitarians and every other degenerate human parasite POS in the history of the world.

Newt said tonight on Hannity Radio, that we need to take 40 members of Congress and 10 members in the Senate to be able to effectively run the government. I am going to work tooth and nail to make sure Maria Cantwell (D) is gone in 2012.

I’m getting to the point where I don’t believe liberals and our side can coexist together on the planet at all.

Holding a gun to the head of a Progressive is useless since it is not a vital organ.

Blue ribbon super congress committees can solve any problem. Three socialist dems. Three marxist dems. Three progressive Reublicans. Two moderate Republicans. One conservative Republican (fair and balanced, y’know). Especially, if Obama gets to cast the tie breaking vote. Presto. No more gridlock.

Surly out of that list of “ Blood Suckers::” there must be at least 8 or 10 we could knock off. Get Good people to run in the primary, give them the same treatment that old fairy from Utah got. Don't let them get by the primary.
