I think Walsh has figured out he's toast next year and is now auditioning for a radio/tv show. I'm sure his constituents are not thrilled.
You certainly have to question the judgement of politicians who do or say outrageous things. He certainly has plenty of skeletons in his closet. I guess he's trying to milk it for what it's worth before he exits.
* Melissa Rakestraw, who was one of the people loudly berated by Congressman Joe Walsh a week ago at a constituent event, sent me an e-mail over the weekend…
You recently posted about Joe Walsh’s screaming tirade. Unfortunately this tirade occurred in my face. I am extremely displeased to see you publish Walsh’s press release about my “feelings” on the encounter as if he speaks for me. From Walsh’s release:
“The woman I had the heated exchange with was great and she appreciated how open and unusual these events are. I apologized to her for getting a bit to passionate and she smiled and didn’t mind at all.”
I am that woman and I did in fact mind. You can clearly see in the video that when he gets in my face and is yelling I say, “stop screaming at me, I’m not screaming at you.”... Mr. Walsh had no respect whatsoever for my boundaries and my direct request to stop screaming at me. There was a reason that I had placed the bar stool between myself and Mr. Walsh before he even went on the tirade, I did not want him in my space... I know for a fact he never said, “I’m sorry.”
Several times throughout the day I smiled at him, usually because I thought that what he was saying was laughable. I’m really disappointed that because I conducted myself with dignity in the face of ignorance that I’m being seen as someone who tolerates being berated by a nonsensical fool. I had no intention of lowering myself to his level and responding with obnoxious behavior.
Melissa, if you're listening-- I 100% get it. I know exactly what I'm looking at. Would this not be grounds for arrest if it were the other way around, or coming from an OWS member? Or anyone, really? Next time be sure to arrive with a bull horn if 'might makes right' is the only thing he comprehends.
Indeed, Joe, there is no debate. There is no reasoning. There is lockstep obeisance to a demented ideology that created the nightmare in the first place. Every one of your arguments blames the car for the operators and the failure of government to do it's own job in deference to 'privatized' cronyism. There is a wholesale rejection of your idiocy. Buh bye now.
Are teabaggers like Dirty sanchezers or donkey punchers?
I mean, since it's ok to use a sex act to describe a political party.....seems kinda hypocritical to not allow dirty sanchezers for the unwashed OWS crowd or donkey punchers for democrats?
Hmmmmmmmm.....now you can delete this as off-topic but the precedent is established that it's A-OK to use a graphic sex act as a parody of a party name.

The tea party are the first ones who came up with that term. Take it up with teabaggers.
Yeah pretty much. He seems a little too angry for Fox News proper. They'll probably stick him on FBN between the libertarian crank and the paleoconservative crank.
Hopefully Onion News Network will make a parody called Angry Shouting Guy Who Hates Women and His Own Children.
>>>>>> MSNBC's already done it. Its called The Ed Schultz Show.
Just when you thought it was not possible for the Republican party to look any worse, here comes Mr. walsh. The Republican party needs to put a muzzle on that dog.
This post fits in nicely worth the OWS movement, full of lies.
What about the story is a lie? That he is a deadbeat dad or that he called OWS anti American? Or were you referring to your own post?
