Another demagogue Republican invokes 9/11 against Obama

| »

From Colorado Republican Sen. Dave Schultheis, who tweeted this:

Tweet from Sen. Dave Schultheis (R-CO): “Don't for a second ,think Obama wants what is best for U.S. He is flying the U.S. Plane right into the ground at full speed. Let's Roll”

You know, what he said would otherwise have been acceptable had he just left it at “Obama’s flying the U.S. Plane into the ground”; by itself, that would mean no more than Obama is going to “crash and burn”, a perfectly common and harmless phrase. But, he just had to add that last bit, invoking the heroes of Flight 93 who saved whichever building was originally targeted by the terrorists.

Asshole.

Ironically (yet completely unsurprisingly), his Twitter feed is now private. Isn’t it odd how that keeps happening to vile demagogues when they reveal their true colors?
