John Podesta apologizes for Jonestown quote
Politico ^ | 12/18/13 | JONATHAN ALLEN

Posted on 12/18/2013 8:57:42 AM PST by Nachum

Speaker John Boehner’s office ripped John Podesta, the incoming counselor to President Barack Obama, for comments he made to POLITICO, comparing House Republicans to followers of Jim Jones, who murdered five people, including then-Rep. Leo Ryan, before committing mass suicide in Guyana in 1978.

“For those who’ve forgotten, a Democratic member of Congress was murdered in Jonestown and a current one, Rep. Jackie Speier, was shot five times during the same incident,” Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said in a statement to reporters. “If this is the attitude of the new White House, it’s hard to see how the president gets anything done again.”

An Obama supporter referring to political opponents as cult members...

Seriously, is it even POSSIBLE to satirize these people?

Jonestown was populated by Democrats, and Jim Jones was supported by Democrats: Feinstein, Harvey Milk, Moscone, etc...

The Demonrats have blood on their hands by supporting that mad man, but the Media will never call them on it.

What’s even worse is the context and why he said it.

He was basically declaring conservatives to be too crazy for democrats to worry about our rights getting in their way.

“If this is the attitude of the new White House, it’s hard to see how the president gets anything done again.”

The attitude of the shadowy cabal of leftists who run Hussein — has been cr@p from the word go.

I think the comparison is much more apt for the Democrats who drink the Marxist, pro Muslim and open borders cool aid and take the country to national suicide.

Should talk to Barb Boxer about that. Jim Jones was a big supporter of her.

Do something stupid, then apologize and everything goes away, except what you say and mean in the first place. Mission accomplished.

I just saw Jarrett on FNC picking up the slack for Carney.. never seen her speak publicly before.

Another freeper noted Podesta moved in to move Jarrett out and clintonify the Spite Hut.

Now that he has added this tidbit to the debate, anybody in the GOP want to co a comparison between Obama and Jones?
