Michigan Congressman Joe Knollenberg has some harsh words for citizen-activists:
"You're anti-American .. you're against the country."
"You're blinded by your hatred of this country!"
"Go away we don't want you here. You're not a citizen, you're a political activist!"
"You are for everything that is wrong in this country. You want our soldiers to lose in Iraq, you want Toyota to beat GM, if we followed your approach, Michigan would be in the tank."
Okay, okay. To be fair, it wasn't Joe Knollenberg who said this, but his Chief of Staff, Trent Wisecup. But, Wisecup made it clear that he speaks for the Congressman:
"I'm speaking for Joe because I'm his Chief of Staff and he doesn't dignify you by talking to you."
Don't believe me? Through the miracle of youtube, you can watch the video over the jump ...
(By the way, Wisecup seems to think we've already gone to war with Iran ...)
I wrote to Knollenberg's office to complain about this. I'm sure I'll be ignored.
Knollenberg's likely opponent is Gary Peters. When the time comes, show Gary some love.
