BREAKING: Claire McCaskill Calls For Violence If Dems Don’t Get Their Historic Tax Hikes: “It Really Is Time For Americans To Take Up Pitchforks” (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, December 3, 2010, 8:24 PM
They really, really want to raise taxes–
Obama lackey Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and her democratic colleagues held a press conference today. The liberal senator called for violence if democrats don’t get their historic tax hikes.
McCaskill told the press that if democrats were not allowed to raise taxes on the rich,
“It really is time for Americans to take up pitchforks.“
Claire promotes violence:
McCaskill posted this call for violence on her YouTube Channel.
Since you mentioned deficits, Claire… We know you don’t want people to see this but your democratic colleagues tripled the national deficit two years ago and then nearly matched it last year.

So, isn’t calling for the violent overthrow of the government a criminal offense? Claire ought to be arrested for her words alone!!

STL Hawkeye commented:
Claire is so done in 2012. Jim Talent takes back this seat. She won the seat with less than 50,000 to votes to spare in the ‘wave’ of 2006. She loses now by 10%. See ya Claire.
Chisum commented:
No, Claire, you ignorant woman.
If Americans were going to take up pitchforks they would have done so these last two years. Against you and your fellow democrat whackjobs!
Chisum commented:
What’s with her and those glasses?
Maybe she thinks they make her look thinner. Or smarter.
Sorry Claire.

Hey McKaskill, I’m middle class and I’m sick of you and all your democrats double talk. It seems to me all the Democrats are fighting for is SOCIALISM.
Pete commented:
Claire, you might ponder the demographics of U.S. gun ownership for a while before you start advocating violence.
Ruebacca commented:
The dems really don’t care if the economy recovers. Government funding is all they care about. Pork and welfare.
Lisa Morris commented:
Poor women, she is living in a fantasy land if she thinks we’re buying her bull! She’s the joke!
ctmom commented:
So all the spending Pelosi and Obama have been doing the past two years HAS been paid for?
gastorgrab commented:
That constitutes the endorsement for a violent overthrow of the United States rightful authority (the people).
She should be arrested immediately and charged with treason!
Everyone should be treated the same! The same rules should apply to everyone, the same way. The strategy of ‘Different Rules For Different People’ has already been tried, and DID result in race riots, and lynchings.
The Democratic title for that plan was called ‘Separate, But Equal’.

Hey McA**hole. Do you really think taxing the production will help anything??? Are you really that motherf’ing stupid?? Yes OF COURSE YOU ARE.
Daniel commented:
Utter ntwit. Complete and total boob.
Bob commented:
“Claire-bear” sure seems to know a lot about how people in the top echelon milk the tax code. Could it be she spends a lot of time looking for loopholes for herself and her hubby? Bet that’s it! Can’t wait for 2012!
TimAK commented:
Correct me if I am wrong, but last I checked, calling for insurrection/violence against America was akin to treason and a federal crime???? Why hasn’t this piece of Sh** been arrested and thrown in jail?
kimsch commented:
She talks about “giving” money to the rich. It’s their money (our money) to start with. Don’t talk about “giving” me back what you forcibly took from me in the first place and then expect me to be “grateful”.
Deekaman commented:
Ummm…Claire…baby…you are a United States Senator. Did you know you can fix that complex tax code that ensnares poor bastards like me in it? And I’m a middle-class guy making about $65,000 and itemizing. Ya, know…odd as it might sound, if you flattened that income tax so everyone paid, oh, say….15% or so, you might get a good bit more economic activity and revenue to the federal coffers.
Nah.
Bitch.
Lindsey Lohan commented:
While she’s at it, perhaps she can explain the $5,000,000,000,000.00 Obama’s Fed loaned to BMW, GE, Toyota, NBC, Bank of Japan, etc.
You want to talk pitchforks, Claire? We’re ready.
IlliniGuy commented:
Maybe she wants to be poked and prodded by the pitchfork carrierd.
LilyBart commented:
Its the Democrats who won’t stop spending. They are working on approving a bill that cost billions to add salad bars to schools. They are working to approve the Dream Act that will cost billions for the taxpayers.
They are fighting for the middle class? No, they are fighting to gain more contol of more money.
They are against leaving tax rates the same for the ‘wealthiest’? No they are fighting to incease taxes on the producers.
These Democrats are loathsome.
LilyBart commented:
70% don’t itemize deductions? These people don’t create jobs either. Stupid woman.
LilyBart commented:
And where do people like this woman get this idea that the “middle class” and lower income people have the right to live a comfortable life out of the pockets of their neighbors?
Mac commented:
Come 2012, Claire be’s history.
Ginger commented:
I do not know how many times that I have typed something and erased it. I can not let that hag drag me down to her gutter level. Two long years of that two faced corrupted old hag.

Our newly elected republicans are doing their job! Praise the Lord.
Did any one hear about Nicki Haley telling Barry what she thought and what she was going to do at the governors lunchen at the white house?

you call out your pitchfork goons and its gonna be like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Oh yah, I’m resorting to violence for the privilege of paying MORE taxes.

The LIBTARD WORLD has come to believe their own HATED. They think that making others hate the successful will keep them elected. They will fuccc their own country for power. They have ZERO idea what they are talking about.

Gee, all this punishing success and rewarding outright failure sure has helped so far, right, Claire ? Claire ? Hello ?
jojo commented:
Don’t worry Claire, we wont’ ask you to train your replacement!
Sucka Free by 2013!
Old Fan commented:
Wow, she was playing the game, like she was some fake moderate just a little bit ago.
Do the Democrats have some terribly misleading KOS POLL, which they foolishly believe in, which suggests they can raise taxes – playing populist class warfare?
We are seeing insanity for years now from the Democratic Party. Claire might want to think about seeking professional help.
Or maybe she has been informed she is already going to lose her Senate Seat, and decided what the hell.
gus commented:
These LIBTARD freaks have painted themselves into a corner. They have supported CLASS WARFARE and hate of anything NOT LIBERAL. Now the have only ONE CHOICE.
FULL LIBTARD. COMMUNISM.
CT commented:
Marxist MacCaskill a moderate you are not, preaching pitchforks with that nodding NY donkey behind you. Put a fork in it lady you are so over done.
Rocky Road commented:
Claire, take your pitchfork and stuff it up your snot locker!
John K commented:
I demand that the DHS put her on the “domestic extremist” list. Calling for violence against the government is unlawful, but she’s too friggin’ stoooopid to know it.
gus commented:
Claire McCASSkole is a dimwit. Dimwits get elected by UNIONS,MINORITIES, GAYS and IDIOTS.
She is just parroting the LIBTARD line. It’s pathetic. And it won’t work.
Talk about HATE SPEECH. These people would FLIP OUT if a Conservative put this tripe back in their faces.
xqqme commented:
If these ‘Progressives’ (both D and R) are so interested in the middle class, why did they make sure that their wealthy clients were made whole during the economic crisis?
richard mcenroe commented:
Dear Ms. McCaskill : you first. Turn to your right and go after Senator Feinstein, who has made millions off VA contracts, and then Senator Kerry the Ketchup Heir…
Rock commented:
So Claire, let me ask you. Just who do you think a angry populace will take their anger out on? Big business who provide our jobs and and goods, or the the Government J-Street whores who take our money and give it away to every political friend in their blackberry. I noticed you folks in DC found the funds to give yourselves a raise while telling the rest of us, we had to give a little skin, so the 2/3 that do not pay taxes can enjoy the fruits of our labor. Guess last November went over your Socialist loving head.
Ginger commented:
We need to demand that she step down.
Boy the communist/socialist are really loosing their way. The shoe is on the other foot now. What goes around comes around.
YOU COMMUNIST ARE NOT TAKING OUR COUNTRY…… and we will not rest or let up until that Kenyan fraud is driven out of our white house and out of our country and better yet tried for treason!
tommy mc donnell commented:
more wealth for the politicans less for the citizens. we need to take the pitchforks to the people in washington.
Moright commented:
Can we vote yet?
gus commented:
They spent the $850,000,000,000.00. They voted for it and the KENYAN DIMBULB signed it 3 weeks into his term. It has done NOTHING.
Now they are painted into a corner.
bitterclinger commented:
Claire Bear, what happened to that “I’m a conservative” act you had going since 11/3?
Oh, Claire: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
As in Ssssssssarah SSSSSSSteelman!
Ginger commented:
gus…… don’t you think that the republicans are now going to air out the demo-rats dirty laundry to let us know things that has not been told? Grab the popcorn we are going to have fun. We need to contack or rep’s and ask them what “we the people” could do to help! “)

Don’t y’all remember back in the nineties all the democrats were warning that the cities would burn if the GOP took away their welfare? What ever happened to that welfare reform anyway?
tango commented:
Well give them what they want. Teach them a lesson. Let liberals raise taxes on anyone making over the $200,00/$250,000 threshold. That way when tax revenues do not increase and the unemployment rate does not drop, conservatives will have proof that raising taxes on the better off does not work because they are the ones who create jobs. It will be the perfect talking point going into the 2012 Presidential campaign season to remind voters that raising taxes on the evil rich did not help the economy like the Democrats promised. Big epic FAIL! It will lead to the Republican nominee winning the Presidency. Then she/he can come in and put the tax cuts back into place, causing a spur of economic activity, increased tax revenues and dropping unemployment rates. Bingo.
So sometimes if you give a person enough rope, they’ll hang themselves. I say we give the Democrats the chance.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out when you and Barry get booted in 2012, Claire.
Barbara commented:
Is she trying to rally all the aging hipster MDSers? Yeah, right, Dohrn, Ayers, and Chomsky are going to risk their millions to take up… pitchforks? What kind of lurid fiction has the woman been reading? And what’s she been smoking?
What hapened to taking it to the streets and setting up barricades and lobbing Molotov cocktails? Whoops – no tenure, no hefty pension the like of which are bankrupting Illinois and those pesky Defense Dept. contracts might be affected.
Why doesn’t she shut up and join the rest of the loons in Cancun?
Rock commented:
Truth is if the Dems have their way, my daughters job, like many others, is gone, followed soon by her home. At less than 35 thousand a year a tax break for her is not near as beneficial as her employer being able to stay in business. Do I like the current tax code, no way. However having a job far out weighs any concern about someone making 250 thousand paying more taxes. I also understand that this is not about the middle class. Given the Socialist dream is nothing more than a two class system, the Ruling class supported by the labor of the working class. So Claire babe is nothing more than a traitorous witch.

I hear you Rich. It takes a real shut in not to see the wisdom in statism.
jomojava the infidel commented:
Hey Claire,
There is absolutely nothing stopping you and your cronies from voluntarily writing checks to the IRS.
How about you and the rest of the Progressives pledge to take no adjustments/credits/deductions to income on future tax returns.
Show some real leadership. Do the patriotic thing.
Ditto commented:
I guess she just gave us permission to grab the pitchforks and get even with our political foes. She might not like the end result of that.

Are we angry that this elitist bitch is calling for the socialist movement take up arms? You bet cha. And please–don’t come on this site and talk about hatred. You want to see real hatred? Try the lib sites. This is milquetoast.
Scott commented:
What? Pick up a pitch fork and demand that my taxes be increased? What kind of crack is this idiot on anyway?
Andreas K. commented:
Deficit reduction begins with one thing: STOP SPENDING!
You won’t be able to finance your out of control spending with taxing the rich. You will only be able to finance it for 5 minutes by taxing the middle class into the ground. Like it’s done in Europe, for crying out loud. In my country, when you make more than 60k Euros per year, the government takes 50% of your money every month. That’s not the super rich people. That’s the middle class.
McCaskill, you know NOTHING about money and taxes.
And look where it got us. Greece is BANKRUPT. Spain is BANKRUPT. The UK is on the edge of financial collapse. Germany has an unofficial national debt of 6.2 TRILLION Europs. My own country has a national debt of 70% of the GDP (in 2012 we’ll be at 75%.) And that despite taxing the “rich” AND middle class into the ground. Despite having a VAT of, depending on the country, up to 20%.
Why are we there? Because we have jackasses like McCaskill in our parliaments who only do one thing: Spend money they don’t have.
Yeah McCaskill, get the pitchforks. The true Americans, luckily, have guns and can defend themselves against the pitchfork-wielding marxist mob.
Lentenlands commented:
This is an outrage! We The People will take up pitchforks all right but it will be your porky pig butts we’ll be sticking them into.
Marxist commie socialist slugs are drooling brain fungus infested zombies with no reason to live. Pack your crap and get out of America if you don’t like the Constitution and the American Way. Since ya’ll love islam so much, go to one of those countries and they’ll hang you from a crane. Morons.

Well if this does not show how clueless and out of touch that skank is nothing will.. Where in the country do you have a chance in hell of finding a liberal with a pitchfork? Pitchforks usually go along with doing physical labor. How many liberals you know have use for a pitchfork or physical labor ? The only ones who have a pitchfork to pick up are going to use it to stick it in the pig( ie you Claire) and kill its spending and lying and communist ways.
I get so ticked off that nobody takes these morons down on dumb arguments. Spending billions daily on BS bills, legislation and liberal causes is NOT paid for. Stealing soc sec funds is not paid for. Tax cuts pay for themselves in higher revenues. always have, always will. We have a spending problem you idiots. Lower corp taxes so companies locate here again or start and stay here and pay people to work not sit on their asses.
I want the hundreds of millions spent on PBS and NPR “paid For” I want congressional pensions eliminated just like Obama eliminated the need to follow all previous laws when he told secured GM lenders to bite him and take nothing. Let them get their Soc Sec like the rest of us and suffer their own consequences of theft.

Arch commented:
Pete’s right. If it comes down to a violent insurrection by an armed citizenry, she and the Emir of Washington would be on the wrong side of the barricades.
In 1994, the Clinton administration conducted a survey of gun ownership in America. What they found was that there were 193,000,000 firearms in private hands. One third of households stated that they had a gun or guns. Since some of the areas canvassed were places where possession of a weapon was a felony, I think this number was at least 10% low. The reason most often stated was self defense, not hunting or target shooting.
As Pete pointed out, the demographics of these owners is very interesting. The poll found that 80% of America’s guns were in the hands of 20% of gun owners. In that minority, the average number of guns owned was ten. Because quality weapons are expensive, the owners tended to be middle to upper middle income, suburban or rural, college educated, conservative white men. Veterans also have many more guns than those who have not served.
Claire’s masses either (1) shun gun ownership and want guns banned or (2) cannot afford a Browning HiPower but own a saturday night special. Regrettably, these citizens tend to be the most frequent victims of violent crime.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I am college graduate, a USMC Expert with an M1 Garand and a Colt Model 1911, a wounded Vietnam veteran, an NRA member, the owner of ten firearms (5 rifles, 4 semiautomatic handguns and a shotgun), a reloader, licensed to carry a concealed weapon (as is my wife), and a conservative white male resident of metropolitan Maylene Alabama.
Claire, before you and your friends bring on your pitchforks, read the Alabama statute of citizens’ use of deadly force.
PaleRyder commented:
You go ahead and instruct all your mentally challenged goat herd to bring a pitchfork to what will be their last stand. If the left ever does decide they have had enough and try to revolt,it’ll be the shortest revolt in world history. Their whiny,puny and crybaby asses will get so thoroughly trounced and stomped back into the stone age that they will never show their pathetic faces in public again. Go ahead,pretend that all you leftist sewage sucking little sniveling aholes have a pair and see how that works out for ya.

Just once I would like to see these a**holes state how much is enough to tax the “rich”. At what point do they stop taxing the “rich”. And once the Rich are taxes to that max, who will then pay for their deficit spending, and entitlement programs? Right now, including all taxes, the “rich” are paying upwards of 70% of their income in some States. What is the cap, when are they taxed enough?

Jaycee, I could care less if your turned off.There have been numerous occasions when the American Soviet wannabe’s spout off with references to violence and the union thugs show up looking to carry out their “out of context” words.
Not to mention if these types of words we’re uttered by anyone other than the left wing, Bolshevik side of the isle, we would be flooded by the Gov.MSNBS news outlet and the MSN but that doesn’t matter so much anymore being it is old hat in the eyes of the American people now.

The only people that believe you are the idiot Dems that keep allowing you and the rest of the band of Socialist thieves to take every ounce of their money. We, the Tea Party people really know that you want to cripple our country more by taking away more jobs and the only “poor” class that you’re worried about are the 51% that don’t even pay income taxes. You don’t give a damn about the middle class and those of us that know how to read and are real informed citizens are fully aware of that fact that’s why we’ll be working extra hard to get you out of office in 2012 and make YOU a part of the unemployed sector!

JohnOfEnfield:
ObamaCare is not an entitlement program until after 2014. It is a tax – an increased expense we will all be forced to bear without benefit – and will also killer jobs. On January 7th, when Americans open their first 2011 paycheck, they will see their take home pay go down as Medicare goes up. What will taxpayers get for this money? Nothing.
The 2010 midterm election was a stunning defeat for Obama’s agenda. He lost the House of Representatives where all funding bills must, by law, originate. His party’s majority in the Senate is two votes, eight less than necessary to get a bill out of committee. In the states his party lost governorships and state legislatures that will control redistricting. In short, gridlock and sinking poll numbers are what Obama will face for the remainder of his only term.
In 2012, we will elect a conservative president and a majority right wing congress that will dismantle everything Obama, Pelosi & Reid have done.

Meanwhile America’s estate tax will again come into effect at the end of 2010, and when you die, the U.S. government takes all your monies anyhow.
Now the rich in America will just take all their monies outside of the U.S. where they will pay little or no taxes elsewhere and invest in other countries. The rich didn’t get rich by being stupid with their monies.

Politicians use words for a living. They use words to achieve the results they want. They pick their words carefully to elicit the responses they desire. And yes, the setting in which they use the words they do may shade the meaning of those words. Call that rhetoric if you want. At some point, I get tired of the threats. From Pelosi and Reid calling the Tea Partiers Nazis and hate-mongers, to Obama’s appeal to “get in their face” and if they bring a knife to the fight, you bring a gun.
Clearly they are trying to incite their followers to some action if they don’t get what they want. I see it as only prudent to be prepared if some crazy people do decide to take violent action. I see the kool-aid drinkers as the people these politicians incite, not the people wanting to protect themselves from the crazies.
Political Lipskip commented:
What is most troubling is her statement, “they are gonna pout when we give them more money”. This was an incredible and telling statement of how big government liberals feel about the money earned in this country.

Does this stupid ass realize how dead she would be if it actually came to “pitchforks?”
MamboKC commented:
Claire, you just don’t get why the middle class you so want to champion doesn’t want to have anything to do with your kind of help. You referred to Republicans “pouting if we (the government) don’t GIVE MORE MONEY to millionaires” when talking about extending the current tax rate for the wealthy also. How can you GIVE to someone what they have already earned???? Doesn’t the taxpayer GIVE their money to the government? Don’t you have it backwards? That’s why I don’t want your kind anywhere near my middle class bank account either. When the time comes when you have brought our economy to the brink of collapse, then you will also want to GIVE me back a smaller portion of what is already mine while you squander the rest. The middle class doesn’t want a wealth re-distributing progressively socialist goon for a champion. We have seen how that works in countries who have fallen for your class warfare tactics and it will end up destroying us all. America doesn’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.

This woman obviously flunked all math classes while in school ! She is a rather large woman with a large chip on her shoulders ! We the people know all about the fuzzy math that braindead libs use , Obamanomics is not an excepted form of math ! That math is a coverup for grand theft !
Cyndi commented:
No Claire, in this economy we don’t think it’s “ok to raise taxes on the embattled middle class” OR on the job creators, who you call millionaires. These people are so dishonest and divisive it makes me sick. EIGHTY PERCENT OF YOUR SO-CALLED MILLIONAIRES ARE SMALL BUSINESSES, CLAIRE!!! They’re the ones who give jobs to the middle class.
Can’t wait to see this cow waddle off into the sunset as Jim Talent reclaims this seat in 2012. Ready to start helping in his campaign!

Chuckie Schumer commented:
I agree with Claire. I like violence too. I especially enjoy calling flight attendants “bitch” – those ones who are trained to save my life when I suffer a heart attack on their airplane.
Math Whiz commented:
“Pitchfork” Claire is now going to work hard to reverse the 16th Amendment, eliminate 60,000 pages of tax code and the IRS, and enact a simple, middle-class-friendly, taxing method? Why? That would take all the fun out of 300 million tax slaves laughing at elitist-snob “tax victims” like Timmy Geithner and Kathleen Sebelius.

You don’t bring a pitchfork to a gunfight.

That last blue line in the chart should be a different color and labeled as Democrat party control of congress.
Mark commented:
This reminds me of watching John Belushi delivering the “Germans bombed Pearl Harbor” speech in Animal House….except he was funny. However, her accuracy is just about a match.
Tritan commented:
Funny that none of you seem to think anything of those blue lines and the last time that they flipped up like in the Clinton years. Perhaps Obama should have done nothing and allow the natural course of the Bush and Cheney fiasco to take everyone over the cliff into a worse Depression than the first one. That is where we were at when he went into office.
Nigeria issued an arrest warrant for Cheney. Care to debate that?
Yep the righ have been havin a party shipping our jobs over seas and the middle class has been taking it up the whazoo. Sound familiar? Rich English suppress the Scotts and Irish. Keep em poor and illiterate. When a small segment in any country attains the majority of the weath, look out.
Carrie commented:
Thanks Claire for exposing the real thieves in America.
The monopolies and wealthy have gained control and now we are all endentured. Sad but true. We are at the mercy of corporate healthcare, insurance companies and big oil. It has even leaked into education. $200,000 for a college education for degrees that aren’t worth the paper they are printed on.
When the last Depression hit it leveled the playing field. Maybe this is what should have happened. Alot of fabulously wealthy folks need to lose their butts like the rest of us.

Democrats wake up to being the party of the rich
[A legislative proposal that was once on the fast track is suddenly dead.
The Senate will not consider a plan to extract billions in extra taxes from
megamillionaire hedge fund managers.
The decision by Senate majority leader Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat, surprised many Washington insiders, who saw the plan as appealing to the spirit of class warfare that infuses the Democratic party. Liberal disappointment in Mr Reid was palpable at media outlets such as USA Today, where an editorial chastised: "The Democrats, who control Congress and claim to represent the middle and lower classes, ought to be embarrassed."
Far from embarrassing, this episode may reflect a dawning Democratic awareness of whom they really represent. For the demographic reality is that, in America, the Democratic party is the new "party of the rich". More and more Democrats represent areas with a high concentration of wealthy households. Using Internal Revenue Service data, the Heritage Foundation identified two categories of taxpayers - single filers with incomes of more than $100,000 and married filers with incomes of more than $200,000 - and combined them to discern where the wealthiest Americans live and who represents them.
Democrats now control the majority of the nation's wealthiest congressional jurisdictions. More than half of the wealthiest households are concentrated in the 18 states where Democrats control both Senate seats.]

Why Africa Loves Bush
[Outgoing US President George W. Bush has surprised critics with his approval ratings in Africa. According to the Pew Foundation, Bush has an 80% popularity level in many sub-Saharan countries, even in ones with large Muslim populations. A popular name for newborns in Darfur is George Bush.]
Obama lied to crowd about Global AIDS
[Fact Check: Obama Scaled Back AIDS Funding
Now this is sad. President Bush increased funding to fight AIDS in Africa to
the point where even liberals like Bono were cheering his efforts. Meanwhile,
Obama actually scaled back funding.
President Obama has been a huge disappointment to many global health advocates, especially in the HIV/AIDS community. In July, South Africa’s retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu penned an op-ed in the New York Times taking Obama to task for letting anti- AIDS funding stagnate. At the International AIDS conference in Vienna a week later, the president was all but burned in effigy. Now, in the buildup to an important United Nations summit starting Sept. 20, he’s being targeted by a congressional campaign led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Oakland) to double the U.S. contribution to the multilateral Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.[much more & links @ link]
again, go f$gure..

tommy mc donnell commented:
the only thing that putting more money into the hands of politicans accomplishes is bigger deficits. there is no amount of money that you can give american politicans that they can’t outspend. what we really need is massive taxs cuts to put the money back into the hands of the people who worked for it. then the people can spend it for something useful that can create jobs. the power to tax is the power to tyrannize
Diviney commented:
I believe Claire is a mindless, socialist pig who cares not for America, but for her own personal gain. And look at that slimeball Schumer standing in back of her, smiling and nodding in agreement on every other sentence while she is talking about the Republicans and the wealthiest people in America finding loopholes in the tax code to avoid paying taxes. I seem to recall many, many members of the Democratic Congress and the president’s cabinet who evaded taxes (John ‘Catsup’ Kerry, for example). And inciting Americans to violence against the Government, could you imagine the recourse had Beck, Savage, Hannity or Limbaugh uttered those words? This evil woman should be monitored as a potential terrorist now that she has incited violence. Vote these morans out of office next go around. We need to clean the sludge from the swamp.

Dick Cheney’s Nigeria Arrest Warrant, A Political Prison For Obama?
[Obama inflamed Republicans last year by extending certain diplomatic
immunities to Interpol agents in the U.S., leading conservatives to claim
the President was eroding the Constitution.
‘The Washington Examiner’ suggested the move “may be the most
destructive blow ever struck against American constitutional civil
liberties,” while Andrew C. McCarthy from ‘The National Review’ claimed
an “international police force” would be working “unrestrained by the
U.S. Constitution and American law.”
While their message was grossly misguided — again, Interpol doesn’t
arrest — it echoes the current conservative claims that the
President’s chipping away at our liberties, and could prove catchy
enough to complicate Obama’s standing among the GOP and their allies.
When the Nigerian government issues their warrant, which could come this
week, the White House will be forced to defend any action or inaction, and
this apparently frivolous case will become a bigger political brouhaha than
anyone imagines.]
you do know what that is all about don’t you??
fact is, there is no arrest warrant & there will be no arrest warrant, why??
because the left still believes the stories about Cheney & Halliburton makes
for good anti-Republican fodder.. however, now they know, well aside from
the few religiously connected to Obama like you anyways, what a crock it’s
been all along.. ironically, i think this may be Obama’s backfiring, go f$gure..

Claire, the only reason for pitchforks are to get or extend the TAX CUTS, OK!!!!!!!!!
You might want to add a serious attempt to cut spending as shown with the graph. It wouldn’t hurt to cut spending in the Democratic Congress. Oh no, you might be called less than liberal from the general public who by the way are inclined to be conservative on fiscal issues at this time of uncertainty.
Bill commented:
Hey Mark Reardon and Charlie Brennan of KMOX radio in St. Louis. Claire, the “Obama lackey”. You guys could take some lessons in reality from this post.
You 2 have been giving her a pass on your radio programs for months, supporting the myth that Claire is a fiscal conservative, worthy of Tea Party support because she is against earmarks when she voted for the biggest earmark of all Obamacare and the Pork-ulous.
With someone like Kit Bond, the Republican King of Pork bringing home the bacon, Claire has had convenient cover too.
You 2 need to get real and start challenging her instead of letting her do hit and run interviews, with no questions from We the People.
Jeannie Clarke commented:
What McCaskill fails to mention is that those people for whom she purports to be worried don’t pay taxes in the first place. Whatever they pay in they get back and then some by the time all the breaks for those with kids get. Enough with all of it Claire. It’s our money; we made it and we’d like to keep it – period.

Thank you, Claire, for finally showing your true colors. You tried the old raz-a-ma-taz on us by trying to sound like you had a few conservative leanings since the election; but now we know at last who you are! You and your henchmen (and women) hate the bosses — the ones who provide the paychecks in this country of ours. Your days are numbered, Clair. Just start counting back from the election in 2012. . . . and, good riddance!
