I don't think it matters from what side of the aisle you're from, cuz it should be a bipartisan affair that: I'm first.

Damn you Donald_McRonald. And I specifically double-checked before posting. Curses.

It is time to take this woman out. Do the people in this district of Ohio have any shame, any decency? Never mind it is Southern Ohio, home of the Bengals and Reds.

Seems like accusing your opponent of being Mengele should be an automatic disqualification.

Yeah, if she really had concerns, shouldn't she have reported it to the FBI, UN, the WHO (not the band), somebody?

Politicians tend to be embarrassments as a general rule. Some politicians, however, are so repugnant and embarrassing that any and all resources available should be used to vote them out of office.

This is such a politician. What a pathetic whacko.

/and you too, Marilyn Musgrave

Really? Seems that would weed out a lot of the Democrats who automatically call any Republican a Nazi who wants to control the borders.

/Or would that be just for a Mengele reference?

You Ohioans haven't run that batshiat-crazy woman out of Congress yet? Hurry the fark up!

Please provide an example of a Democratic candidate for office openly calling his or her opponent a Nazi, and you need not restrict yourself to those who are discussing immigration policy - any explicit claim that the speaker's Republican opponent is a Nazi will do.

I'll wait.

Well, not just Mengele, but it's more limited than you'd think. Democrats see Nazis as the worst possible thing becuase of their evil deeds were of an authoritarian nature. Republicans see Terrorists as the worst possible thing becuase they're brown the most recent bad guy and they have short attention spans. So they cancel out. Everything else is WAY too crazy though.

I'm a Colorado native, actually, and I still follow Colorado politics. It astounds me that a state that, on balance, is pretty moderate and supports Democrats and Republicans alike, could send two people as batshiat crazy as Tom Tancredo and Marilyn Musgrave to Congress.

Musgrave is a pathetic, pandering idiot whose sole purpose for being in Congress is try to get her anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment passed. Seriously, has that biatch done a goddamn thing other than that since being elected?

She almost lost last time, I hope, hope, HOPE she finally loses this time.

Can't these people be sued?

"Malaria Virus," "terrorist fist-bump," "Obama's baby-mama," "China's drilling off the Florida coast" ...the list is endless!

Celebs sue the tabloids all the time---why can't politicians?

I give "Mean Jean" a 2/10 on that troll. One point is for effort, one point because someone will believe it.

Celebs are suing for different reasons. Invasion of privacy or likeness rights or something. In some cases, these celebs are suing because they are limited public persons (look it up), and the defamatory comments are not about their public actions.

The examples you've provided are slander and libel. Unfortunately, in order for a public person to win a case about this, they have to prove that the statement was malicious, and not just an honest mistake or a matter of opinion.

I would support a law change that would allow a public figure to go before a judge and or jury and ask them for a statement declaring that the statements were false or libellous.

IIRC, right now the legal rationale is that public persons do not have any value on their reputation, and as such, damages would always be $0. And since the courts traditionally do not rule on inactionable cases, they cannot rule on defamation of public persons.

Someone should inject her with the AIDS mosquito. Or maybe the smallpox flea.

Then we could bomb her with a nuclear virus.

Is that a "separated at birth" photo, or what?

Either way, the bill for the new monitor is on its way.

you'd think that being one herself, Rep. Schmidt
would know a parasite when she saw one.

where's the science geeks on this one?

There is no malaria virus.

/it's a protozoan parasite

/it's a protozoan parasite

Yeah, did you read the headline? I mentioned that. There are 4 main forms of malaria, all caused by a protozoa, Plasmodium vivax (the most common), Plasmodium falciparum (the most lethal), Plasmodium ovale, and Plasmodium malariae. Most forms of malaria stay in your body in latent form forever, hanging out in the spleen and other areas. Sometimes when your immune system is suppressed the latent forms can cause an active flare-up.

Wow.

I think I'll send her an e-mail and turn over my Fark Handle over to her. She's definitely earned it, nothing I say or do could possibly top that.

/embarrassed share a name with this hag

I am sure she will bring out the gay marriage thing right before the election and win again.

/voting for Wulsin
