"One could say that Osama bin Laden and these non-nation-state fighters with religious purposes are very similar to those kind of atypical revolutionaries that helped to cast off the British Crown," Eleven term U.S. Representative, Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), as quoted in the Toledo (Ohio) Blade, March 1, 2003

(Illus: Ethan Allen, leader of the Green Mountain Boys, saying, "Come out of there, you goddam old rat!" takes Ft. Ticonderoga from the British -- the first American victory of the Revolutionary War. It was a fine example of how rudeness to tyrants can save ammunition.)

Astounding. Representative Kaptur thinks Al-Queda and Vermont's Green Mt. Boys militia are comparable! This woman is the senior Democrat female in the House, and on the Ways and Means Committee. She sounds just like another female Democrat, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA)....(snip)

Talk about moral relativism. Man, these people are INCREDIBLE.

[CurlyBill]

This is where the Democratic Party is headed. This type of thing serves us well!!

[Sgt Hulka 123]

Patty Murray, Cyntia McKinney, Maxine Waters, Marcy Kaptur....Could they be any dumber?

[drjoe]

Gave 'em the vote and it all started going down hill after that:

Patty, Cynthia, Maxine, Marcy ... ... need I say more?????

Paging Tom Ridge!

Tom, when you are through with the Hildebea$t, please bring you duct tape over and tape up this POS, Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio).

[Conspiracy Guy]

Those are the names I was going to give to the rocks I have in a box but I decided the rocks deserved more respect than that.

[longshadow]

Ethan Allen and his Green Mtn. Boys equated with OBL and his terrorists?

This ought to be interesting.... Fire at will!

[Gritty]

Refuting Mary Captur with facts and expecting her and her ilk to understand is like teaching a pig to sing.

It gets you nowhere and only irks the pig.

One would be better off discussing American History with an old shoe.

Funny, I must have sat out the history class where we covered the 1776 massacre when Ben Franklin blew up 3,000 citizens of London.

We have to let these idiots realize that such remarks are FAR MORE OFFENSIVE to the vast majority of Americans than had she stood on the House Floor and hurled racial epithets!
We must not let such vile anti-american remarks go unpunished!

It's time we deluge her office as well as Nancy Pelosi, your own Rep (regardless of Party) and the Leadership of the DNC with emails faxes, calls, etc DEMANDING either an abject apology from her or INSIST on either Censure,
Immediate Resignation or Removal.

NewsMax.com has email address and phone/fax numbers
(but her 202 office number provided is wrong)

I'm glad that these Demofreaks keep uttering such nonsense - it hastens the day when their worthless party becomes a footnote in the history books.

That being said, this is so incredibly offensive that I'm really at a loss for words. I just have to smile though, when I think what the generation of the Founding Fathers would do to her like: Tarring and feathering.

"I just have to smile though, when I think what the generation of the Founding Fathers would do to her like: Tarring and feathering."

LOL! Old Samuel Adams would have hounded all of today's Democrats til they tucked tail and ran for Canada! He and his wharf rats kept the tar-pots a-boiling!

Ping for the Green Mountain Boys

[SAMWolf]

How do jerks like this get elected?

[EBUCK]

Whoa....what slipped into this idiots drink or was she just born that way?

[WaterDragon]

Jerks who vote?

[Alamo-Girl]

Jeepers... Thanks for the heads up!

[ThomWilkerson]

OK, The phone# NewsMax gave was definitely wrong.
I just looked up Rep Kaptur's website for the correct Phone# to her Washington Office.
It SHOULD be
(202) 225-4146
NOT 255-4146.
I have emailed NewsMax with the correction.
