Stupak Called 'Baby Killer' on House Floor
FOXNews.com ^ | March 22, 2010

Even after the main vote on the Democrats' health bill Sunday night, tempers continued to flare in the House.

Following the vote on the massive health bill, Republicans challenged the Democratic bill's language barring federal funding of abortions, saying it was weak and would effectively allow public funding for abortions.

Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, who had fought for tough language barring federal subsidies for abortion coverage, denounced the Republican move, saying it was nothing more than an attempt to deny 32 million Americans health care. From the Republican side a voice shouted, "Baby killer!"

It was not immediately clear who had called out the epithet.

Rep. John Campbell (R-Calif.), said it wasn't him.

"I don't think it’s appropriate at all," he told Politico. "The people who know won't give it up," Campbell said. "I'm not casting dispersions on that state" in a reference to lawmakers from Texas.

Republican Rep. Joe Barton of Texas said he heard the scream but wouldn't say who was responsible.

"I can make a guess," Barton told reporters.

Fox News is searching for the source of the remark.

I hope Stupak gets excommunicated and burns in hell!

Hey Fox, why not search for the congressman who called Tea Party protestors "teabaggers" on the floor of their House? You wouldn't even have to try very hard!

He’s just upset that someone spoke the truth.

Indecorous but accurate and justified in my view.

What are they going to do about it anyway even if they did find out who it was? Make him apologize?

I would eat a shit sandwich before I apologized!

Is there some rule against truth in politics? That comment should be put in the form of a resolution of proper address to all the Jackasses who voted for the bill.

There’s an easy way to figure it out, but if that person wants to remain anonymous I won’t help the MSM or the baby killers who run the House by outlining the process.

Isn’t Campbell the rep that sits in for Hugh Hewitt? Campbell and Hewitt are reasonable Republicans that will lead us in a camp song as we’re carted off in rail cars to our various camps. This outburst reminds me of the baby crying I think it was in the Senate chamber when they were deliberating on partial birth abortion. Something spiritual was going on in that chamber last night that we could not see.

Everyone keeps leaving out the intentional killing off of the elderly in this bill.

It’s disgusting to me to think there is some kind of mad search going on for the person who dared speak the truth.

This is NOTHING compared to the things that some of these other POS have said. Pelosi herself calling Americans Nazi’s, etc.

Give me a break. Whomever it was called it like they saw it.

Stupak was a sell-out. He has no real moral compass and is a fraud as a Catholic and a human being. Shame on him. Shame on the whole damn Congress with the exception of a few.
