The violent language that the right wing uses in this country knows no bounds. Commentators like Sean Hannity and Michael Savage spew their hate on the airwaves and eventually it is regurgitated by schmucks like Ed Tinsley. Tinsley is running for Congress in the open seat of New Mexico's second district. At a recent debate, this is what he had to say about Democrats and supporting the troops.
From NM FBIHOP:
Did we find Ed Tinsley's macaca moment? To be honest, I would think that Tinsley was the least likely of the serious Republican candidates to come off and say something this incredibly stupid. Steve Pearce talks off the cuff and doesn't care what others think; Darren White has a legendary temper. And Dan East... well, I have very little idea about him at all -- and he has virtually no chance against Ben Ray Lujan.
But Tinsley, at the Association of Commerce and Industry (ACI) candidate forum this weekend, Tinsley said: "How can I call my two nephews over there right now... and tell them I'm running against a guy that will cut your throat. That will cut the bottom out of your funding. That will..."
Tinsley was cut out by the booing and "shame on you" chants from the crowd. This was no liberal shindig either, the ACI is a moderate to conservative association but no matter what most Americans views are, they do not take kindly to hearing that disgusting language. It has no place in that forum and certainly no place in Congress. The voters of New Mexico's 2nd district will definitely take that into account come November.
Oh and by the way, the party that stymies funding for the troops isn't the Democrats, that would be the hypocritical GOP. Unfortunately as the article reads, the local media did not report the controversial comments but the internets have a funny way of getting stories like this where they need to go.
