Texas Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer was the mysterious lawmaker that shouted “baby killer” during Rep. Bart Stupak’s (D-Mich.) floor speech Sunday night, his office said Monday.
Rumors that Neugebauer was the yeller began swirling Sunday night, after several lawmaker surmised that the scream was tinted with a southern accent.
“Last night was the climax of weeks and months of debate on a health care bill that my constituents fear and do not support,” Neugebauer said in a news release. “In the heat and emotion of the debate, I exclaimed the phrase ‘it’s a baby killer’ in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership. While I remain heartbroken over the passage of this bill and the tragic consequences it will have for the unborn, I deeply regret that my actions were mistakenly interpreted as a direct reference to Congressman Stupak himself.”

He spoke the truth!
I would eagerly vote for any rude SOB who would tell it like it is. These wussy Republicans are annoying me.
>> We’re so evil, yelling “baby killer” as opposed to the dems voting tax money to kill babies.
We’ll be taxed to kill babies. So, who’s facilitating the killing of babies?
He should not apologize. He ought to make a stronger statement. When, when will we get some elected official with stones enough to say the truth and not apologize?
From here on out.....we should never apologize for calling an ace an ace.
What a moron...and to admit being a moron...sheesh
keep the baby killer meme going hard people. Let there be no doubt who the real baby killers are in America.
A moron for yelling it or for apologizing?
As my 80 year old Ma would say..."too many southern gentleman"...
It's why we are, where we are...if it continues...we'll be extinct...or relegated to oblivion status.
The lib's are fighting the war unimpeded and with ALL their weapons....we are countering with "rules of engagement"....a stupid strategy...destined to fail.
Why apologize? I’d love to have 10 minutes on the floor with CSPAN camera’s on... I’d use every 4 letter word in every imaginable combination and tone along with hand gestures to match and the only thing not beeped out would be, “NO I WILL NO YIELD THE REST OF MY TIME TO ANY OF THESE..” and then continue on.
My Rep.
Stupak did not make abortion legal for heavens sakes...what he asked for was a bill that made sure the taxpayers did not pay for ELECTIVE abortions. I do not want my tax dollars to pay for anyone’s ELECTIVE abortion. My daughter is 38. She has a friend, who by the age of 30, had five....FIVE...elective abortions. And..by the same doctor. What doctor would do this? Why did he not tie her tubes? I certainly do not want to pay one cent for her elective abortions!
What is there to apologize for?
“Last night was the climax of weeks and months of debate on a health care bill that my constituents fear and do not support,” Neugebauer said in a news release. “In the heat and emotion of the debate, I exclaimed the phrase ‘it’s a baby killer’ in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership.

What he shoudl have said:
“Last night was the climax of weeks and months of debate on a health care bill that my constituents fear and do not support,” Neugebauer said in a news release. “In the heat and emotion of the debate, I exclaimed the phrase ‘it’s a baby killer’ in reference to the agreement reached by the Democratic leadership. While I remain heartbroken over the passage of this bill and the tragic consequences it will have for the unborn, I deeply regret that is has gotten so far that my actions in speaking out where needed now more than ever. I am sorry Stupak didn’t get the point and vote wis his concious in mind and instead sold out for 700,000 pieces of silver. And I am sorry to the American people that this Abomination of a bill was passed.”
For yelling it. Stupak did not have anything to do with abortion being a legal procedure. I do not understand why people are upset with him. Please read my above post..And...hello Frogjerk.
“Stupak beleives the Executive order means something. EO’s don’t trump Federal law”
Wouldn’t it have been awesome if they could have, say, back when Reagan was in office? “You say I can’t fund the Contras? Oh, really? BOOM! Now I can.”
The democrat party would!
