A quick set up, recently a group of nuns have been following Paul Ryan (R-Wall St.) around , explaining what most of us already know, that the Paul Ryan Budget is immoral. These nuns, known as nuns on the bus, have been some of the most visible. They even recently made a stop in Janesville, WI telling the people of Ryan's own hometown, that what paul ryan is doing is neither moral nor Catholic Doctrine.
As is typical, when someone speaks ill of Pink slip Paul Ryan, the right wing hate radio and right wing "think tanks"(term used loosely) like Heritage and cato hit the airwaves fighting back. So it was no surprise when right wing hate radio shock jock Jan Mickelson from Iowa called for someone to "==tol whip the nuns".
“There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby against the Ryan plan,” radio host Jan Mickelson told Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) last week. “Do you guys, do you have any power to pull the nuns on the bus over and pistol whip them?”
“They say he is evil, they say he is fake Catholic,” he added. “They’re the ones that threw the first punch.”
If anyone has spent five minutes listening to local hate talkers Vicki Mckenna or Charlie Sykes then you would NOT be surprised about this. However what was interesting (and inexcusable) was that he were talking to Iowa republican congressman Tom Latham, who got himself a good kick out of that one!

MICKELSON: There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby against
the Ryan plan. Do you guys, do you have any power to pull the “Nuns on the Bus” over and “pistol whip” them?
Republican Congressman Tom LATHAM: It’s always fun to be on your show. [Laughter]
Yes nothing funnier than pistol whipping a bus load of nuns. God Bless.
This on the heels of Oklahoma republican congressman John Sullivan who recently advocated shooting democrats as the best way to pass paul ryans budget.
As of today, Paul Ryan has not commented on either story and Congressmen Sullivan and Latham have yet to apologize.
Here is their twitter feed contact information.

Let's fill up their twitter feed and let them know that these actions are UNacceptable.

This rhetoric mirrors that of the Greek
ReplyDeleteNeo-Nazi party Golden Dawn which recently won 7% of the vote, especially the escalating glorification of violence and brutality which is calculated to titillate the inate sadism of their radio audience.
They claim to be entertainers but really they are fomenting treason and civil war so that their patrons may loot our country more easily.
