Yes Issa is the bully he then again the dem’s are helpful and inclusive LOL just ask Waxman and Barney Frank. Why can’t the Republicans release this stuff , they knew what would happen, the stupid party.

Let’s go back, January 11th, 2007, on the floor of the House, Barney Frank is running the House at this moment. He’s the chairman of the proceedings at that moment, and he and a Republican from North Carolina, Patrick McHenry, have this little back and forth.

FRANK: Yes, the gentleman may state the inquiry.

McHENRY: So the chair is saying that I may not offer an amendment —

FRANK: (pounding gavel)

McHENRY: — exempting —

FRANK: The gentleman will sus’thpend! (pounding gavel)

McHENRY: — American Samoa from this legislation?

FRANK: (pounding gavel) The gentleman will sus’thpend!! The gentleman is making a speech and will sus’thpend! The chair is not saying anything.

McHENRY: If the chair will let me finish my question...

FRANK: (pounds gavel) The gentleman will sus’thpend!! The chair has answered the gentleman’s question. The gentlemen will state the point of order.

McHENRY: How many times did our distinguished —

FRANK: No! No! (pounding gavel) The gentleman... (pounding gavel) The gentleman (pounding gavel) ‘’How many times...?’’ could not conceivably be a point of order! The —

McHENRY: If the chair will not answer my question —

FRANK: The gentleman will not inter’wupt. (pounding gavel)

HOUSE: (laughter)

McHENRY: Is exempted —

FRANK: (pounding gavel)

McHENRY: — from this legislation.

FRANK: (pounding gavel) The gentleman will not, eh, uh (coughing) — While, the chair is presiding, will not make speeches in the guise of a parliament inquiry. Comments —

McHENRY: Yeah. These were —

FRANK: (pounding gavel) No, no! The gentlemen will sus’thpend!

McHENRY: Then the —

FRANK: (slamming gavel harder) The gentlemen from Texas — !

McHENRY: Point of order!

FRANK: (screaming) The gentlemen from Texas will sus’thpend! (pounding gavel)

McHENRY: The distinguished speaker was out of order in the past!

FRANK: (banging gavel)

RUSH: No, I would never turn off a Republican’s microphone, I would never let them not say what they wanted to say. I don’t get caught up in that. That’s Barney Frank refusing to let Patrick McHenry say anything. That sounded very mean to me, I mean, Barney Frank really sounded mean to me there. Issa didn’t sound mean when he talked to Elijah Cummings. But Barney Frank sounded power mad mean there. So let’s listen to Issa. Well, Waxman, Henry Waxman, in May of 2008, threatened Issa. Let’s listen to that. This is about seven seconds. It goes by quickly.

ISSA: Members that could yield you time (gavel banging) I would ask that you — (gavel banging)

WAXMAN: I will have you physically removed from this meeting if you don’t stop.

RUSH: That was Henry Waxman to Darrell Issa. That was in 2008, “I will have you physically removed if you don’t stop.” What was it Cummings said? We would never cut off anybody’s microphone. We would never shut anybody up. We would never throw anybody out of here. I would fight to make sure that didn’t happen. Here’s Issa, Fox News last night, The Kelly File asked about this.

ISSA: I broke no rules and he broke the decorum of the House. But I might mention that several years ago Henry Waxman pounded a gavel and said he would have me removed because I was pointing out that he was breaking the rules. We didn’t launch any sort of a House attempt, and I certainly didn’t say that he was somehow anti-Arab-American. The fact is that I did things according to the rules, I followed a script, and then Mr. Cummings decided to have quite a hissy fit. The truth is, if he wants to talk, I give him lots of chances to talk.

RUSH: Yeah, but you see what this has become? And over here’s Lois Lerner, who’s taken the Fifth Amendment because she won’t incriminate herself in whatever it was this administration had the IRS doing to the Tea Party. That’s what’s over there, and this other meaningless pap is what this narrative has become. Did Issa treat little Elijah mean, with disrespect? And was he racist? It’s so beneath. It’s just pathetic. Just absolutely pathetic. The media are destructive agents like I haven’t seen before.
