Louie Gohmert Calls John McCain 'Numbnuts' Over Huma Abedin Defense

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) fired back at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday, calling the senator and some of his colleagues "numbnuts" for criticizing the Tea Party-affiliated congressman's recent allegations that a top Hillary Clinton aide has Islamist ties.

Gohmert, along with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and three other GOP congressmen, recently signed letters insinuating that Clinton's Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin is affiliated with the controversial Muslim Brotherhood organization through her family. The claims have been widely condemned by members of the Republican party, including House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), and McCain.

During an appearance on "The Dennis Miller Show" radio program, Gohmert vehemently defended the letters:

"Well, it’s obvious that John McCain didn’t even read the letter because of what he said in accusing Michele and us of making these 'horrible' allegations. There were five letters and there were many things that are stated that are facts in each letter. And I wish some of these numbnuts would go out and read the letter before they make these horrible allegations about the 'horrible' accusations we're making. But we also know that John McCain himself had said back in the early stages of stuff going on in Egypt that he was, in his words, 'unalterably opposed to helping the Muslim Brotherhood.' Well, obviously the unalterable person has been altered, so he's okay with it now."
Gohmert's "numbnuts" comment came after McCain took to the Senate floor to condemn the "unfounded" attacks on Abedin.

"These allegations about Huma and the report from which they are drawn are nothing less than an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman, a dedicated American and a loyal public servant," McCain said in a speech last Wednesday.

In the "Dennis Miller Show" interview, Gohmert expressed frustration with McCain's choice of venue for his attack.

"Normally, you don't go blast somebody on the floor that's a colleague on the same side of the aisle unless you touch base with them," Gohmert said.

John McCain gives RINO's a bad name, he is nothing but a liberal infiltrator who puts an R after his name.
As for "his service" I'm not particularly impressed with that either, unlike most US pilots, he managed to cost the US at least one multi milion dollar aircraft.  Do you REALLY think he had the same POW experience as John Stockdale , who was not the son, and Grandson, of Admirals ?

Good for Gohmert ! These Quisling SOB's are trying the exact same smears they used on McCarthy, for asking the same question.

McCain cost us at least three aircraft over his career!

We can't count the USS Forest Fire since he was sitting it on the deck when the missile launched from another plane and exploded.  If you watch the video of the incident, he's the pilot walking out over the nose of an aircraft and jumping off onto the deck.

Regardless of that, he's a tool....

There is video of that ?
My understanding is that the the ultimate cause of the entire incident was him "flooding his engine" on purpose to scare the pilot behind him when his aircraft launched a big fireball on start up, but in this case the specifically forbidden practice because either, shock, heat or the other pilots surprise caused the missile to launch.

This ones narrated for effect but the facts are clear!

OK, 1:30 in I've seen what I needed to see.
The guy was still a friggin missile magnet.
US and NVA missiles both blew planes out from under him.
Reminds me of a guy in the Bible.

The version I watched while I was still active was an original 8mm copy.  It was much clearer and only about 10 (1977) years old at the time.  We had access to tons of film archives at our request!  Some really cool stuff from the days of chasing commies...

It's also Boehner, and "rockstar" Marco Rubio, and a handful of other RINO's that have had what's left of their testicles retreat to that metrosexual, politically correct, group of clowns that make up a portion of the Congress.

Limbaugh has covered this extensively, and are wanting Bachmann to apologize, or they will "get her" off the Intelligence Committee.

Remember the post a few months ago from Mike Vanderbough on Sipsey Street, in which he wanted "us" lowly members of the American peasantry to mail Boehner those fluffy little colored balls in regards to Fast & Furious?

Good God we need a "reset".....even within the "Grand Ol Party"......

We need to voice our support for Michelle Bachman.
Joe McCarthy was wildly popular with real Americans, but the liberals and RINO's of they crucified him then, and continue to do so today.
We must let them know that we, the REAL Americans, will no longer tolerate them, "citizens of the world" committing treason and coddling all of our enemies.

If they were simply stupid the law of averages says they would support a pro America stance at least once in a while, but the left has a perfect 100% record whether it's Stalin, Castro, Ho Chi Mihn, Saddam, or radical Islam, they only have 2 answers, appease , or collaborate.
They act French.

Numbnuts.. Gohmert just got a promotion in my eyes..
I'd have to debate whether McCains nuts or skull had less firing but he's on the right track..
God bless him for what he had to go through, but he doesn't need to be in government..
He really is nuts..
