This groveling coward has been embarrassing Texas on C-SPAN all week.

YOU'RE NOT FRIGHTENED ENOUGH AMERICA*

* according to some

That's a pretty douchebaggy thing to say, but I doubt anybody interested in attacking New York hasn't already thought about all that.

OlafTheBent: YOU'RE NOT FRIGHTENED ENOUGH AMERICA

BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!

Better?

Oddly enough, others involved in the plot have been tried, and convicted.

That's right Congressman, fan the fear a little wider, so the terrorists can win. That's the spirit.

If you want to take the moral high ground, sir, you have to actually occupy that territory first. And giving terrorists exactly the reaction what they want is hardly drawing a line in the sand.

Thanks Gohmert for your care and support.

But as a NYer, I'd just like to say:

"STFU, I'm proud this son of a biatch will be facing justice here, because unlike yourself were aren't a pack of p*ssies that abandon our principles at the first sign of controversy".

Such a patriotic guy. I can truly feel his love for being in Congress.

It's nice to know the good congressman believes the only thing NYC is good for is a target.

Word up. I live 1 mile from the WTC. Bring his ass here. Haul him front of a jury.

I actually believe in my country and the institutions we rely on. Gohmert can go back cowering under his rock. farking coward.

You might think that being such a coward and an idiot that Gohmert might have trouble getting re-elected as he continues to embarrass his constituents and the state of Texas.

Then you look at a map of his district and notice that he represents the cities of Tyler, Longview, Marshall and Lufkin and realize he'll be re-elected over and over again until he decides to stop. In east Texas, they believe in two things: (1) if you don't have an (R) after your name you're a terrorist, and (2) Jesus says retarded criminals must be put to death.

Not only would Gohmert have snuck out of the Alamo; he would have delivered a map of the locations of the defenders' families to Santa Anna.

Well, no. I don't believe in the death penalty.

Especially since KSM has said that he wants to be executed, I'd be far happier to just let the bastard rot in a jail cell for the rest of his life. That's a far better fate for him than to give him the martyrdom that he wants, thus turning him into another Che Guevara-esque figure for Islamic extremists.

Of course, the far right will poop themselves and tell tales of KSM turning his toothbrush into a hacksaw and escaping from his cell, at which point he'll hotfoot it to the nearest airport, hijack a 737, and crash it into Mount Rushmore, but you can't fix deranged.

That's why the idea of executing an Islamic terrorist is so stupid to me. They want that and it only helps their cause because they become martyrs.

I'm against the death penalty in general, but here it doesn't even make sense to kill the guy. Make him live in solitary confinement for the rest of his life.

So Gohmert's argument is that we should abandon our nation's laws because we're afraid that friends of the accused will hurt people. Damn, he would have really sucked at prosecuting mobsters.

To be honest, the worst thing we could do to these folks, is simply lock them up and treat them as just normal criminals. They want to be martyrs, to be special. Instead, we make them a number, let them grow old in prison, and not give them the satisfaction. Nothing special, nothing important. Just a number, that looks forward to getting a juice box at lunch.

For these folks, that is the worst sort of hell. To have to live with their actions. No glory. No martyrdom. Just a life of tedium and mediocrity as a prisoner, lost and ultimately forgotten.

me neither, but in his case, I'll make an exception.

I'd actually prefer to have the guilty party slowly lowered and impaled on a pike... then feed his carcass to the hogs.

Again, it's not wise to use word that position yourself in such a way that you'll benefit politically from terror attacks. I might be forced to conclude you find an attack desirable.

Before 9/11!!!1! Gohmert and the assbags like him wouldn't have pissed on a New Yorker if they were on fire.

Now it's "Won't somebody please think of the poor New Yorkers?"

They can go fark themselves.

I'm just waiting for the first right wing lunatic to grow a beard and false flag a terrorist atrocity.

I really don't understand the pants-shiatting that a civilian trial is causing with some folks... do they really have that little faith in our justice system?

Try these clowns like common criminals and be done with it, one way or the other... anything else only adds to their "martyr complex" and confirms what many in the world believe about America.

All the while understanding that they don't even have the power to protect themselves from becoming Big Steve's biatch. These are guys who sent others to their martyrdom deaths, but didn't have the courage to do it themselves. Prison will be a scary, scary place for them.

My only question about this is, assuming that Gohmert is genuine, what makes terrorists different than any other criminal organization that we try in the US? The Mafia and Gangs kill and intimidate witnesses, so should they not get trials either? What is it in his mind that makes terrorists the untouchable ubermensch of criminals?

They're brown.

These pants messing bedwetters apparently think NYC is good for nothing but a symbol for the GOP to exploit for campaign purposes.

As a NYC resident, evacuated from his Battery Park City home during 9/11, go fark yourself with a barbed wire dildo Gohmert. I'm looking forward to KSM's trial where Really Real Americans(tm), who have lived through terrorism and who haven't been trained by Dick Cheney to pee ourselves on command, will try and convict the bastard.

Diogenes: It's nice to know the good congressman believes the only thing NYC is good for is a target.

You know he's wishing for it. Wishing upon a star!

Hey dipshiat, NYC is already a target. Hell, it's THE target. Hosting a trial isn't going to change that one bit.

Eddie Adams from Torrance: Before 9/11!!!1! Gohmert and the assbags like him wouldn't have pissed on a New Yorker if they were on fire.

Now it's "Won't somebody please think of the poor New Yorkers?"

They still don't give a sh*t about NY or its people. And that's fine, but the fact is this is simple grandstanding against Obama.

Louie Gohmert, thank you for your concern about NY. I think, despite two attacks on the WTC in 8 years; the state of NY also handled mob trials (involving people with an ACTUAL criminal network IN THE AREA) - they can handle this trial.

Go back to Texas, hit a retard with a brick. You'll feel better.

I remember back in the campaign, Sarah Palin spent all her time talking about small-town values and real Americans and whatnot, and then had the audacity to come to NYC and have a photo-op downtown. And then of course it was Giuliani mocking "cosmopolitianism" in his RNC speech.

NYC is nothing but an opportunity for these farking assholes. Makes me want to vomit.

Is the GOP desperate enough to run a black op terror attack to prove their point?

Slightly wrong. It's not an "I love NY" now. It never was. Maybe for a short while after the attacks. But it really hasn't been like that for years.

We, and other major cities, espec. coastal, are still very much viewed as liberal biatches who would collapse at the first sign of trouble and want to push a gay agenda and political correctness on everyone else.

This is grandstanding against Obama.

No, we can't kill any of them. We'd make a martyr of him, which is exactly what he wants. Like hubiestubert said--make him an anonymous number and stick him in solitary like all the other terrorists we've tried & convicted.

And you don't have to be a New Yorker to want that guy hauled into court here & tried like McVeigh, Rudolph, Moussaoui, Mohammad Salameh, & Mahmud Abouhalima.

Poopspasm: TheOther: This groveling coward has been embarrassing Texas on C-SPAN all week.

Exactly. His job as a congressman is to represent the interests of his constituents. If he is on the floor of congress pissing his pants in fear of a civilian trial for a terrorist far far away from his podunk redneck district, then we should assume that this is how all the people of his district feel.

Aexia: OlafTheBent: ... and if convicted, place the gallows at ground zero sentence him to time served plus one hour on the streets of New York City

Now that would be appropriate... and more than a little bit cruel.

... but I'm okay with it.

Farking DUH. :P

But it is a fact that the worry and concern and fear of terrorism lives in the Red States, while the actual terrorism happens in Blue States (apart from home-growns like Roeder, McVeigh and Kaczynski).

I don't see liberal pussy Anthony Weiner (Rep for NY's 9th, which includes parts of NYC) biatching about terrorism or scared of what would happen in his district (or down the block from it). I see Rep Weiner upholding the farking rule of law, and if more assholes with more bravado than brains want to try again, we'll throw them in jail too.

300 million Americans (and the Constitution we represent) will endure.

Aden Nak (New Jersey) warns that he will strike Louie Gohmert if he doesn't stop being such a whiny little chickenshiat.

This. And I'm typing it about 2 blocks from the current biggest target in the skyline. I'm not afraid. Neither are the vast majority of people here.

I'd like to see these grandstanding motherfuclers actually come to New York and ask anyone on the street, "Aren't you scared?" 99 times out of 100 the answer is going to be a resounding "fark no!"

Hypocritical assholes don't give two shiats about this city or its people. When they aren't screaming about danger, they're calling us unamerican liberals who are out of touch with the heart of the nation.
