Discussion: Fringe Tea Party Groups Organizing 'National Impeach Obama Week'

Fuckin liberals

Suing Obama may just turn out to be the biggest political mistake Boehner has ever made. Almost immediately after he began talking about suing the president, the far right started talking about impeaching him. Now every Republican Senate candidate is going to be asked during a debate or interview if they would vote to impeach the president. The talk afterwards will be that ā€œso and so said (s)he will vote to impeach the presidentā€. This is the kind of thing that wakes up the very voters that typically stay home.

President Obama doesnā€™t deserve this.

On another noteā€¦someone must have let out the best kept secretā€¦Talking Point Memo is a class forumā€¦people in TPM donā€™t call each other names and respect the feelings of othersā€¦no matter what.

Along the same lines, notice today all the ā€˜meanā€™ adjectives and anti-American president statements - unusual and as I wrote aboveā€¦someone sent word out: This site stands by the President and probably leans leftā€¦

Letā€™s go scream and disrespect these people because they stand by their President of the United States. They must be Americans.

I have honestly asked that question of an awful lot of folks calling for impeachment on the boards. I even insist that they be specific as to their charges.

If I get any answer at all (or if Iā€™m not dismissed as an Obama-sucker), it is all generalizations that have absolutely no grounds in the Constitution - like, well, heā€™s lawlessā€¦

Boehner should be sobbing at the mess heā€™s helped the GOP become, just the body language speaks volumes. He must be smashed every day he has to face this bunch in the Congress, the only way.
The TPs aka: GOP aka: Conservatives are starting a trend to impeach Democrats, since they canā€™t elect their own nutjobs. This country will not move forward until we rid ourselves of their toxic influence. No jobs,none of the important issues move forward except dysfunction.

People, take your friends neighbors to the polls and take the bums out of our government. America IS much better than this, but Iā€™m beginning to wonder.

Actually, I donā€™t find that one ā€œhilariousā€ at all. I find it perfectly reasonable, and if that were the only reason the Republicans offered, Iā€™d support it. What I find disturbing is that no one on the Right actually seems to care about the president killing citizens without due process.

Surely, Betty would agree.

If you canā€™t name the offense, then you have to ā€œacquitā€.

Ford also said ā€œIā€™ am a Ford, not a Lincolnā€, lowering everybodyā€™s expectations. As if.

You wonā€™t find a better pure politician who could judge another politicianā€™s strengths and weaknesses than LBJ. Clinton comes close.

Part of me has to feel that because of the response Pelosi and then Obama gave to any talk of impeaching Bush, a lot of republicans took that as a queue that they can freely impeach any and all Democratic presidents without any fear of it being used against them.

Then again, a lot of those same people are still subsisting on the bile from having Nixon resign ahead of his pending impeachment.

Unfortunately, these days, there seems to be little time for due process. Havenā€™t we done away with Habeas Corpus?

Itā€™s a bit of a cargo cult at this point, isnā€™t it? They donā€™t have the warrant or the means, but theyā€™ve got the trappings, and maybe someday their plane will come in. Well perhaps itā€™s a good thing. We need more rituals to rediscover who we really are.

Western Journalism is a notorious Birther site. Hereā€™s some of the items in their ā€œbill of particularsā€:

ā—Forgery of his identification documents to make it appear that he is eligible for office ā— Constitutional ineligibility for the office that he holds

Great stuff!

Translation: We think impeachment is for when you are mad you lost an election.

Sorry. You take up arms against your own country and hide out in the wilds of Yemen or Pakistan or some other Middle Eastern hellhole where the chances of your ever having to face American justice are zilch, you get whatā€™s coming to you. Why should having an American passport give a person a free pass to commit acts of terror? To my mind these traitors are worse than the foreign-grown variety, I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
