Rep. Floyd Thinks Obama Is A Socialist And That Ft. Hood Was The Beginning of A Slippery Slope
By Kleinheider Posted on November 12, 2009 at 11:25 amAs far as I knew he wasn’t really considered one of the extreme members of our General Assembly, but today Ken Whitehouse reports that Rep. Richard Floyd has been passing on discredited rumors about an Obama gun grab and when confronted about it he decided to unleash his inner reactionary:
“Look at who he surrounds himself with — Rahm Emmanuel, Bill Ayers. He is taking over the auto industry, banks, health care. That is what he has surrounded himself with. Look up the definition of ‘socialism.’ It is taking private business and turning them into government-run and community property.”
Floyd then referenced last week’s deadly shooting at a U.S. military base. “We are on a slippery slope going 90 miles an hour. I’ll let what happened in Fort Hood be an example.”

I think we found TNVolunteer’s real identity.
“Not all Muslims are terrorists, but so far all terrorists are Muslim.”
So wait, Rep. Floyd is saying that Bill Ayers isn’t a terrorist?
We need clear thinkers like this in charge of the General Assembly! What say we shoot for an increased Republican majority next year!
So wait, Rep. Floyd is saying that Bill Ayers isn’t a terrorist?
And don’t forget, Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph were just patriots.
“Not all Muslims are terrorists, but so far all terrorists are Muslim.”
The KKK, White Aryan Resistance, Irish Republican Army, ETA, Aum Shinrikyo, the Tamil Tigers, Army of God, and Shining Path would be quite surprised to learn this.
Goldni,
Don’t forget McVeigh and Rudolph were involved with Muslim terrorists…
Don’t forget McVeigh and Rudolph were involved with Muslim terrorists…
So they were just nice Christian boys who loved America and didn’t hate anyone before they met the Muslims?
You forget that McVeigh and Nichols took several trips to indonesia prior to the bombing (Muslim country)
Dpn’t know if they was a muslim connection or not.
Does not make a difference it was a terrorist attack.
McVeih did not have a connection to the Christian Church either.
letts not forget this tidbit of information that came out in the Congressional hearings.
Yossef Bodansky, the director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, issued a warning two months prior to the Oklahoma City bombing that Iran-sponsored Islamist terrorists had recruited ‘two lily whites’ – people like McVeigh and Nichols – to carry out the bombing of an American federal building.
Let’s get this straight, TNVolunteer73, McVeigh wasn’t a christian, even though he described himself as one, and the Muslims were actually behind the Oklahoma City bombings.
Tell us what you mean by the “Christian Church”?
Also, are all non-white people scary to you?
Obama’s beyond socialism. He’s a Marxist Communist. Proof here: http://www.commieblaster.com/obama/index.html
Let’s cut the crap. Obama’s a Marxist Communist. The proof is here: http://www.commieblaster.com/obama/index.html
Oh and by the way, Bill Ayers is, too: http://www.commieblaster.com/bill_ayers/index.html
Commie Blaster. lol hahahahahaha. you guys are wonderful human beings. hahahaha
“Commie blaster?”
Now what makes me think this isn’t the most objective news source out there?
Yeah, Pres. Obama, that radical commie is destroying capitalism and Wall Street…oh wait!
That NYSE is really hurting!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAVY.. once again you have not studied Market Cycles.
The Market is rally is due to companies CUTTING EXPESES (employees) to keep their profits.
If you had read the WSJ this week the cuts in expenses, + a dollar that has lost 25% of its value in since January.
You see a 10,000 dow is really a 7500 dow of 2008
OG.. McVeigh had not attended church in 8 years.
I think that is a sign he was not a Devout follower of Christ.
