Eric Holder is on the terrorists’ side, doncha know? Gohmert (R-TX) said the following on Glenn Beck’s radio show:
“Think about it, when your attorney general spent more of his legal career helping terrorists than defending the country, then you know we all have certain biases and lean certain ways.”
Gohmert then went on to reiterate his belief that the Obama administration is guided by the Muslim Brotherhood. “[The administration] know who’s in there advising them,” Gohmert said, “either they lie under oath or they do know the extent of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into our government.”
Charlie Pierce reminds us that Gohmert got 72 percent of the vote when he ran for re-election in 2012.
Is it any wonder many of us think Texas has more than its share of village idiots?
I don’t know how it became so trendy to be a wacky conspiracy paranoid. The only thing I find intriguing about this trendy phenomenon would be if one could actually find out how many of these people spouting these wild & bizarre conjectures actually believe what they’re saying… and how many just do it for fun & profit, or because they think it’s going to advance their own agenda somehow by preying on the uninformed, the backward, the scared, the bigoted, & the mentally ill.
