Rising Hegemon
Tea party-backed Representatives Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Steve King (R-IA) on Saturday held a press conference in Egypt to thank the country’s military for overthrowing the elected government, and at one point even seemed to suggest that the Muslim Brotherhood had been behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.
“Together, we’ve gone through suffering. Together, the United States and Egypt, have dealt with the same enemy,” Bachmann explained. “It’s a common enemy, and it’s an enemy called terrorism.”
“We want to make sure that you have the Apache helicopters, the F-16s, the equipment that you have so bravely used to capture terrorists and to take care of this menace that’s on your border,” she continued. “Many of you have asked, do we understand who the enemy is? We can speak for ourselves. We do.”…
During Saturday’s press conference, Gohmert praised Egyptian coup-leader General Abdel Fatah el-Sissi by comparing him to U.S. President George Washington.
“We met with for a long meeting General el-Sissi and many of the military leaders, and my friend Steve King mentioned again about our heritage in America,” he explained. “George Washington, doing what no one had ever done before him, led a military in revolution, won the revolution, and then resigned and went home.”….
W-O-W.

So, I wonder if General el_Sissi knows that wingnuts have also likened Washington and/or "the founding fathers" to...the Contras and Afghan Mujahadin.
Oh, and "mujahadin" means essentially the same thing as "jihadist." Interesting comparison, then...
but but .. poitics stops at the water's edge.. blah blah
Can't....breathe....
Bachmann, Gohmert, and King. The trifecta of hate and teh stew-pud.
Stupidity so concentrated it would sink of its own weight to the core of the planet, if it weren't being renewed from microsecond to microsecond ...
