Louis Gohmert Watch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louie_Gohmert
I thought I'd just start a post here to link articles to my favorite bat-shit insane, stupid politician. Louis Gohmert has one hell of a long history of ass-hattery, but I think his comedy show has legs.

This one just caught my eye today:

I'll post 'em as I get 'em. Watch this space.

The best piece of Gohmertitus (crazed babbling), melting down in a hearing with Attorney General Eric Holder. The "cast aspersions on my asparagus" moment. Pure classic.:

Note: The Chairman of the committee that he's arguing with is from his own party.

Louie sits in on The Family Research Council for Tony Perkins, and interviews insane former POTUS candidate, Alan Keyes.
Always something. Defund the White House as political penalty:

He's the gift that just keeps giving. John McCain is a supporter of Al Qaida:

Louie, Lou-aye...Even your own party thinks you're an idiot. McCain gets all "mavericky" again. Brains of asparagus:

Gay marriage supporting judges need to take plumbing lessons, from the congressman who has an asparagus clog in his brain:

Make welfare recipients pay taxes to close the debt. Yep, he really said it:

PAC to fund the TeabagParty in its last dying days:

Louie is definitely the Energizer Bunny of defining Teabagging division. Now, it's all about African Americans giving back for the freedoms they won by joining the fight to deny freedoms for the LGBT community. It's their destiny and their duty. Really.

I got into politics to stop women from getting welfare:

Classic Louie from 2010 melting down on Anderson Cooper over "terrorist babies". No wonder he sticks to right wing media these days. This should not be missed:

The asparagus man's Facebook page. Too much crazy to fit in one post:

Louie gleefully tells us we're all going to hell.

Barry Lynn of People for the American Way discusses his bizarre grilling from Louie the Lip.
And Louie PROVES God exists

Louie is just going off the rails. Here, he just shows that when you believe in superstitions, you can just believe ANYTHING. As he rewrites and cherry picks his religion, he does here the same to history:

"No country has ever fallen while it was truly honoring the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," Gohmert said.
"So if you were completely areligious, completely atheistic, but you wanted to have a free country, and you wanted to have it safe and protected, then it would sound like -- from historical purposes -- that it might be a good thing to encourage those who believe in God to keep doing so," Gohmert said. "Because when a nation's leaders honor that God, that nation is protected. It's only when it turns away that it falls."

Keyes told Gohmert that elites are bent on “culling the population” and “actually believe that we’re a blight on the face of the planet, we human beings, and we should therefore be put on a path toward our own semi-extinction. I often try to get people to see that if you think about it, if we actually get back to the levels they’re talking about, it would just be these elitists and the people needed to service them. That’s all that will be left in the world.”
“That’s right, that’s a scary thought,” Gohmert replied.
