<\/a><\/p>\nPaul Broun: Should have followed Morganna the kissing bandit<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Lost over the last few days in a deluge of imbecilic comments by the If ObamaCare passes, that free insurance card that\u2019s in people\u2019s pockets is gonna be as worthless as a Confederate dollar after the War Between The States \u2014 the Great War of Yankee Aggression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n But if nothing else, Broun has a history of profound thoughts…<\/a><\/p>\n While watching an NFL game, Broun became entranced by a \u201cgentleman with this big type hair wig on\u201d holding a \u201cJohn 3:16\u201d sign. \u201cAs I sat there in my office that fall trying to figure out life, I picked up the Bible and read John 3:16,\u201d Broun said. He suddenly transformed into a true believer, a cadre of the Christian right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Anyone who grew up in the 70s and 80s and watched sports remembers that guy.<\/p>\n And, as Digby noted a while ago<\/a>, that ubiquitous guy in the wig with the John 3:16 banner — is now doing life in prison<\/a> on multiple kidnapping and terrorism convictions.<\/p>\n So he certainly makes an inspirational symbol for a Republican Paul Broun.<\/p>\nJohn Birch Society<\/a> and the Council of Conservative Citizens<\/a><\/s> Republicans, was this completely over-the-top and unintentionally hilarious statement of Georgia Republican Paul Broun<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n
\n“The Great War of Yankee Aggression”<\/em>? Really, that’s how you are still referring to it? Who the hell is this guy, Theodore Bilbo<\/a>? (worst hobbit ever — even the Sackville Bagginses hated that guy [ed. “NERD!”<\/em>])<\/p>\n\n
