You expect unhinged stuff from Operation Rescue's Troy Newman. It cannot be stated enough--he heads an organization that hired Cheryl Sullenger even though she is a convicted clinic bomber. And she's still employed there even though she basically gave George Tiller's number to a guy off the street. But even by his standards, his appearance on Friday's Janet Mefferd Show is breathtaking. Newman went there not just once, but TWICE--likening the decision to uphold the health care bill to 9-11 and Nazi Germany.
PFAW got some excerpts:
As an employer, we’re going to be forced to chip into this ungodly health care system and we are not going to pay. I am going on the record; we will not send the federal government a dime. Now, if they send the IRS on us then it’s not a health care issue then it’s simply a failure to pay our tax, as John Roberts said, this is now a tax. Well, what did we have a revolution for: taxation without representation. We went to war and real Christians picked up real guns and defeated a real army. I’m not calling for an insurrection or to take up guns but I’m saying that they thought it was so serious that they pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to have a land that we live in, which is three greatest experiment in human liberty based on Christian principles the world has ever known, and all of that is at stake.
…
You know we always get surprised at what happened in Nazi Germany and we say, ‘if I had been there I wouldn’t do that,’ or we think back and think, ‘that was sixty or seventy years ago, how could that have happened, that was all in the past, all that draconian, totalitarian, socialist actions were in the past.’ Here we have a decision, a landmark ruling which will go down in history and every single person listening to this radio program was alive and experienced this day like we did 9/11. The question is, what will our response be?
…
The courts are not the answer. There’s checks and balances in this country and there is no check and there is no balance. We are all moving down the road toward complete annihilation. Some people want to go at 100 MPH and some people want to go at 30 or 40 or 50 MPH, but I think this is a wakeup call. The entire Supreme Court should be impeached, the entire Congress should be impeached, we should replace the president in November.
Listen to Newman's entire appearance
here. Almost as disgusting as Newman's comments themselves is the way Mefferd fawned over him, even calling him a hero. So Mefferd is on record as condoning an organization that keeps an accessory to murder on the payroll. Lovely.
