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.”

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
An Obama supporter referring to political opponents as cult members...
Seriously, is it even POSSIBLE to satirize these people?
Just another ignorant Clintonista.
No. Collusion. Makes Boner Boehner look like a fighter. A put up fake.
Kabuki.
Hey, it’s ok. Everyone knows the denizens of THIS white house are classless dweebs.
ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED DAYS and counting.
The Demonrats have blood on their hands by supporting that mad man, but the Media will never call them on it.
“it’s hard to see how the president gets anything done again.”
Well John, thats easy. YOU roll over and play dead, thats how Odumbo gets stuff done. He squawks and you piss yourself.
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.
Funny I always picture the Rats drinking the Grape Koolaid
He’s just parroting what President Jarrett told him to say.
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.
Not accepted.
Now that he has added this tidbit to the debate, anybody in the GOP want to co a comparison between Obama and Jones?
As if anyone gives a smelly Obama about anything coming out of bonehead’s office.
I’ll believe Jarrett is out when the Idiot takes away her Secret Service detail....not before.
