Great… Leading RNC Chair Candidate Calls for Execution of Obama 3 Times in One Conference Call (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, December 17, 2010, 5:43 AM
Great. Just what we need.
Another walking gaffe machine.
Wisconsin RNC Chairman Reince Priebus called for the execution of Barack Obama 3 times in one conference call with the press. Then after apologizing for the gaffe he attacked a prominent democrat for being gaffe prone.
Smooth.
The gaffe earned Priebus the distinguished “Worst Person in the World” award by Keith Olbermann.
Can you really blame Olbermann?
Dan Riehl also found this on Priebus.
It’s also worth noting that during Priebus’ first cycle as the Republican Party of Wisconsin chairman, the party paid his law firm, Michael Best & Friedrich (MBF), $80,000 for unspecified “legal fees.” All payments were made from 10/31/2008-11/13/2008. A review of FEC reports found the only prior RPW payments to MBF occurred in the 2004 election cycle. By that accounting, Priebus’ so called two jobs aren’t separate at all. He seems more interested in using one hand to wash the other, at the expense of taxpayers and donors. There is nothing new in that kind of politics, and very little that’s good for America, or the GOP – especially now.

Are we certain he’s legitimate or is he a plant? Don’t put it past them.

What the hell was he thinking??Those types of comments are only accepted by the democrat party. There you will hailed as hero and leader and a ceremony to your life-long accomplishments will be held for your wishes of death upon another.

Sounds like Joe Biden junior. On the other hand, the pigeons ARE coming home to roost for Obama. News has it that the Obamas will not be invited to the Royal Wedding -

/After the way he’s treated Britain – not to mention their behaviour while they were there – this in your face snub couldn’t happen to more deserving folks.

We really need to show zero tolerance to morons like this in the GOP. They’re a liability and gaffes like this are a reflection of their overall intelligence and political awareness. In other words, you’d have to be completely and utterly stupid to say something like that in public and the last thing the GOP needs is such stupidity.
forest commented:
Never heard of the guy.
Maybe he needs to learn from the left if he’s going to insist on threatening public officials. Accuse them of “treason” ( for which the penalty is death). Don’t just come out and say they should be executed. Lefties do this all the time, and for some reason, it’s semi-acceptable.
Carbon Pootprint commented:
What a freaking moron. Does the RNC matter anymore?
Ginger commented:
Granny….. Good news…. I love it when Barry gets the middle finger back at him!
burt commented:
Leading Democrats regularly called for the death of President Bush. That wasn’t a problem.
tarpon commented:
Directly giving to candidates is far more efficient than allowing the RNC to take their cut, and give money to people like Crist.
YMMV, but me I have little use for the RNC anymore.
Hotspur commented:
Jason:
You’re right. In no uncertain terms we should never accept this from our side.
Henry Hawkins commented:
Though many of us donate directly and bypass the RNC, the RNC Chair is still one of rhe public ‘faces’ of the Republican party, and among the primary duties of the RNC Chair is public relations for the Republican party. If Priebus didn’t understand the ramifications of his three-times call for Obama’s execution, even though offered figuratively, he has thus demonstrated he isn’t qualified for the job. He hasn’t the ear for it, hasn’t got the sense of propriety required for the PR aspect of the job. He has shown he will inadvertantly and clumsily load the opposition’s guns for them with handy quotes which would be used against all Republican incumbents, candidates, legislation, and campaign donation efforts. There are too many qualified candidates to tolerate his misjudgment, and if gaffes this big and this obvious don’t rule you out, what would?
Simon commented:
Besides, there’d never be a death certificate.
wanumba commented:
So what’s taking the Wisconsin branch so long to rebuke and strip him of leadership credentials? He should have been publically booted a while ago at the state level.
RickZ commented:
My ‘give a sh#t’ meter seems to be busted.
We are talking about our first commie president. When does that ‘all enemies foreign and domestic‘ kick in?
horace commented:
anothier fine democrat
AuntieMadder commented:
He looks like a Demotard.
bitterclinger commented:
If he’s for real (and that $80K donation sounds like a great use of the hardcore elitists’ dough), he and that Cino broad, who lobbied for DeathCare, should get one-way ticket to Siberia.
RedBeard commented:
Trust no man on the basis of his party affiliation. This just proves once again that the Republican Party needs a good fumigating.
The RNC chair needs to be someone above reproach. This should be an easy task, but sadly it isn’t. Seems we all need to grab our lanterns and follow Diogenes.
GrayRider commented:
What a d-bag! Probably a tea party hater too.
greenfairie commented:
I’d rather keep Michael Steele over this guy. Good Lord.
The National Tea Party of America is starting to sound like a better idea all of the time.
RedBeard commented:
And on a tangent, Priebus should be imprisoned solely for forcing me to agree with [ughh] Keith Overbite. That is an unforgivable crime.
chuck in st paul commented:
The RNC has got to go. Apparently it’s still old school limosine patricians and their RINO followers.
Lindsey Lohan commented:
This tool must be fired right now before he drags us all into some scandal and we lose focus on the real problems out there.
Henry Hawkins commented:
@chuck in st paul #23………. Officers in the RNC are elected by Republicans/imcumbents rather than directly by the people, of course, so they’re still somewhat insulated from the Tea Party drive against RINOs and elitism. Tea Party/fiscal sanity pressure will focus on fed and state level incumbents first, but will eventually trickle down to the RNC (one hopes). However… a goodly percentage of campaign donations to the RNC comes directly from the people, and many of us have already decided against channeling our donations by that route, precisely due to mismanagement, overspending, and the RNC’s difficulties in picking the right candidates for support/nonsupport observed during this last election cycle.
Rose commented:
Given a choice in political realities between the effects of the Steele chair versus this guy – please – no contest – NO MORE ENABLERS!
I’ll take this guy, anytime, over RINOS!
Rose commented:
John Adams: Be not intimidated… nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice.
John Adams: Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people.
Samuel Adams: If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams: The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.
Samuel Adams: How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!
Samuel Adams: If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.
Samuel Adams: No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.
Samuel Adams: Shame on the men who can court exemption from present trouble and expense at the price of their own posterity’s liberty!
Benjamin Franklin: … as all history informs us, there has been in every State & Kingdom a constant kind of warfare between the governing & governed: the one striving to obtain more for its support, and the other to pay less. And this has alone occasioned great convulsions, actual civil wars, ending either in dethroning of the Princes, or enslaving of the people. Generally indeed the ruling power carries its point, the revenues of princes constantly increasing, and we see that they are never satisfied, but always in want of more. The more the people are discontented with the oppression of taxes; the greater need the prince has of money to distribute among his partisans and pay the troops that are to suppress all resistance, and enable him to plunder at pleasure. There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh, get first all the peoples money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants for ever …
tommy mc donnell commented:
these are the kind of incompent people you have running the republican party. the RNC is like a liberal welfare program for incompent republican hacks. its time to get rid of these people. and not in the way he was talking about obama.
Oldsailor commented:
Idiot.
red commented:
I haven’t seen the quote and I certainly am not going to watch Olberman for a New York minute. However, I would like to say as a Cheesehead, Priebus did lead to the downfall of a very entrenched democratic party here in Wisconsin. He was VERY accepting of the tea party and I felt like it was almost a Rep Party-Tea Party alliance. I would like to know more about his actual quote and I would like to ask just a little forebearance here for a real deal guy.
