FILTHY LIAR HARKIN Attacks Tea Party “Fringe Cult” – Blames GOP for Obama-Pelosi Debt
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 20, 2011, 11:46 AM
And he didn’t bat an eye…
Senator Tom Harkin blames the GOP for the Obama-Pelosi spending – attacks the tea party “fringe cult.”
Via Breitbart TV:
What a shameless liar.
Via Real Clear Politics:
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) calls Republicans “dead-beat debtors” among other things during a Democratic press conference on Wednesday morning.
“The debate and fight is not between Democrats and Republicans. It’s between some Republicans and their sort of cult fringe as I refer to them out there,” Harkin said.
“Democrats are willing to do whatever is necessary to raise the debt ceiling, not for future borrowing but to pay the debts that we racked up in the past. Which, mostly was racked up by a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican President in the last 8 years. Yet, they’re not willing to pay the bills,” Harkin said.
Once again… Here is the deficit chart the leftwing media will dare not show you:
Obama tripled the deficit his first year with the failed Obama-Pelosi stimulus plan.
In Obama’s second year the deficit topped a trillion dollars again.
It was unprecedented.
The Obama deficit this year may reach $1.29 trillion. (The Captain’s Comments)
Of course, the corrupt US media won’t correct this filthy liar… They’ll applaud him.

I have already given up on these politicians. They do not care one bit about the American people and what they are going through. To them its all about their party and who is to blame, and they are both to blame, because they both caused this debt. Now they want to fiddle while America burns. I do not hear anyone telling it like it is to Obama and in front of the camera. They do not want to ruffle any feathers. It is way past time for feather ruffling. Either they do not care or it is not as bad as they are telling us it is. Fed up with politics as usual.

“The debate and fight is not between Democrats and Republicans. It’s between some Republicans and their sort of cult fringe as I refer to them out there,” Harkin said.
Harkin is telling us what McConnell, McCain, Boehner and crew are thinking.
Nano commented:
Yeah the Dems are now demanding ‘compromise’ by the Repubs. How soon they forget their ‘my way or the highway’ approach when they ran the joint.
Nano commented:
Cut Cap and Balance is a more formalized version of the old Dem plan of PayGo which they couldn’t seem to ever get right.
Militant Conservative commented:
Just spewing for his ignorant voters. Democrats and lies go together like PB&J.
Sticks to the roof of your mouth and sticks to your dress and sticky fingers.
powder is dry
Guy in Ohio commented:
Yeah dope …raise the debt ceiling, and borrow MORE MONEY to make payments on the existing debt, all the while, spending MORE. This dope would be the guy who gets in over his head with credit cards, uses another HIGHER interest card to pay them off, and then goes out and racks up new balances on the old cards.
Are these people really this stupid, or are they just following the Muslim-in-Chief over the cliff out of loyalty?
american patriot commented:
This is just far afield we’ve become. Harkin’s so-called cult simply wants fedgov to obey the Constitution, you know that old document whose purpose is to LIMIT the created federal government.
Yeah, those cultists.
The public schools, infested with Democrats, have accomplished exactly what they were intended to do. The creation of a permanent stupid class of voters.
AuntieMadder commented:
“Democrats are willing to do whatever is necessary to raise the debt ceiling, not for future borrowing but to pay the debts that we racked up in the past.”
I’ll do whatever is necessary to raise the credit limit on my Visa card, not for future charging but to pay the balance that I racked up in the past.
gus commented:
I’m sure Brian Ross will fact check this and straighten out the issue.
John B commented:
“Which, mostly was racked up by a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican President in the last 8 years.”
harkin: What world do you live in??? What was the year that the House became Democrat majority? What was the year that the Senate became Democrat majority?
Here’s the answer stupid: It was 2006. (And don’t give me the business that it was 49-49 Reps-Dems in the Senate as the 2 Indep. caucused with the Dems.)
And harkin: And when did the debts begin to pile up? As soon as Nanc and your man Harry got the reins. harkin, you have problems with reality and memory.
AuntieMadder commented:
“The debate and fight is not between Democrats and Republicans. It’s between some Republicans and their sort of cult fringe as I refer to them out there,” Harkin said.
In other words, Harkin has no beef with the RINOs. They’re his buds.

More evil than stupid.

From the liberal dictionary:
Compromise: my way
Bi-partisan: my way
Negotiate: my way
Multitude commented:
I’m a bit confused at what seems to be an innocent misinterpretation of what our Senator Harkin said. I had understood it as his legal confirmation that the tea party people are a religious practice, and as such, are exempt from Federal taxation.
I’m pretty sure a sitting U.S. Senator is an official authority who should suffice in this important clarification. On all subsequent tax filings, you may report $0 in tax liabilities as long as you notate that you are invoking the Harkin Tea Party Exemption Rule (not to be confused with the Harkin Combat Military Service Exemption Rule, which entitles one to a personal F-4 assignment working as a mechanic shuttling equipment for maintenance, out of harm’s way).

Fringe Progressive traitor party, people who intentionally set up to housing bubble in the 90s to collapse our economy on purpose said what? When are we going to see these traitors get justice?
ILConservative commented:
The deficit the D’s and BO have racked up is unprecedented, but not unexpected, like everything else the MSM writes about; like the “unexpected” rise in unemployment, the “unexpected” drop in home sales, the “unexpected” drop in consumer confidence, etc. I guess the deficit and debt are “unexpected” as well even though BO has been spending like a drunken sailor. (I apologize to all drunken sailors.)
randyinrocklin commented:
Another reason why Iowa primary caucus have no credibilty for the primary elections, a RINO like Grassley and a left wingnut in Harkin. This is the kind of politicians Iowa keep sending to DC. So why all the fuss about winning the primaries in Iowa? Diito for NH.
SeniorD commented:
Tom Harkin is and always will be a knee-jerk liberal. His loss to Slick Willie in the 1992 Presidential Brass Ring Contest showed the world that Iowa elects real winners.
retire05 commented:
Anyone remember this:
With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to Republican big oil and gas company cronies. Americans this week are paying $2.91 a gallon on average for regular gasoline – 33 cents higher than last month…………….
Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices……………
Nancy Pelosi
April 24, 2006
So how did that work out? What were gas prices when George Bush left office and what are they now? Higher gas prices, higher food costs, higher utility costs, and lower home values is the legacy of the Democrats.
Someone needs to tell Harkin not all of us suffer from memory loss.
pst314 commented:
To a socialist scumbag (but I repeat myself), freedom IS a fringe cult.
More and more, the proper response to a liberal is “f*ck you”.
retire05 commented:
Let’s now take a look at what two years of total Democrat control gave us:
Gas prices:
January 19, 2009 (last day of Bush Administration)
Regular – $1.84
Diesel – $2.30
January 24, 2011
Regular – $3.11
Diesel – $3.43
Any questions?

Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Republicans need to counter this crap early and often. Don’t assume the public isn’t going to be fooled by Democrat dishonesty, because sorry to say, among the American public is a rather large number of rationally ignorant boobs, who more often than not vote for Democrats.

ok Harkin lets talk “fringe”..
[Just one day before Obama established the Rural Council, the USDA announced that “Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack approved about $7.4 million to fund nine large-scale greenhouse gas mitigation projects in 24 states” through the USDA’s Conservation Innovation Grants. Another $10 million is being provided by the USDA’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program.]

the NWO we don’t even recognize it..

Big Al commented:
I am with you all they way and Harkin is definitely as pink as a rare filet but to be accurate you really need to attribute that big red line under 2009 to Bush – it was his last budget.
bg commented:

Big Al #33
please, do your homework..

retire05 commented:
#33, no, we need to contribute that big red line under 2009 to the Democrats who held control of both the House and the Senate, which passed a 2009 budget much larger than President Bush requested. Barney Frank needed to pay off another lover.
Chisum commented:
Big Al #33,
The Pelosi Congress refused to vote on Bush’s 2009 budget. BO signed the 2009 budget in March 2009 AFTER adding billions in pork to it.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/02/AR2008020202042.html
Oh, and BO signed the 2009 budget BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

re: #34
[If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is, "I inherited a deficit that I voted
for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."]

Fact checking a headache. What a fop.
The last thing Ross “fact checked” was Toyota’s acceleration. He said the tachometer was redlining and “that was impossible, since the car was sitting still.”
A car does not need to have its transmission engaged, i.e., be moving for the tach, which measures engine revotions, to redline.
Sounds like Ross is just the guy to keep you informed, daryl.

[This was yet another Harkin lie. Harkin actually served as a ferry pilot
who flew aircraft in need of repair between the Philippines and his base
in Atsugi, Japan. Harkin at last acknowledged that he never had flown
air patrols in Vietnam; he began describing himself in speeches as “a
Vietnam era veteran.”]
and God Bless them every one!!

no reflection upon the entire armed forces]

more liberal american civility. “fringe cult,” said about people that as a group as the most solid citizens in america.
donh commented:
These are the d-holes who exempted the big auto companies from going into the same default every other company faces in tough times….because the auto companies are run by politically connected unions that did not want their pension / pay contracts voided in bankruptcy court. So the unions called in their political clout to put the tax payer on the hook for these employee benefit obligations the corporations could no longer pay. They don’t want the US to default for the same reasons. Fear of voiding unfunded liabilities , mandates, and renegotiating lower compensation for public sector pay, perks and pensions.
Campfollower commented:
Fake Vietnam Veteran Tom Harkin, the shame of Iowans everywhere, pretended to fly combat missions in Vietnam but never got closer than ferrying planes almost to that country.
I will never forgive Iowans for giving him a pass on that lie, and he is now deserving of a laugh from the TEA PARTY, which includes thousands of REAL Vietnam veterans and their families.
Molon Labe commented:
Harkin is an expert in fringe cults. He belongs to one that advocates raising taxes, spending more, and amnesty as well as deviant behavior.
Big Al commented:
#34 et al. Appreciate the detail. While the dems will rely on the technicality of Bush being the President of record for FY 09 your explanation makes it clear that he had nothing to do with it. Was the stimulus included in the 09 omnibus? Thx
Chisum commented:
Big Al #48,
Check out the date he signed the stimulus bill into law. February 18, 2009. It was separate from the 2009 budget which was signed in March 2009.

PAT09 commented:
The Hark is just following the emerging narrative for 2012 ………. reuse the 2008 narratives that worked for Obama: ….. the failed policies of “the last 8 years (in Harkin quote)” ……..we are suffering the effects of what some call the “lost decade”…………
The Dems and the MSM are going to act as if the last 2.5 years never happened and they are going to redo the 2008 election mantras ……….. PARTY LIKE ITS 2008 !!!!!!! Who are the voters going to believe, the Dems/MSM or their own lying eyes???
Scott commented:
Filthy liar Harkin…He also lied about having flown combat missions in Vietnam. It was later revealed that he was a ferry pilot not a combat pilot. Any idea how you are relagated to ferrying combat jets instead of flying in combat? You are not wanted for lack of ability or personal reasons such as moral turpetude. We’ll never know the real story…
Scott commented:
Oops, did not see the above comment from Campfollower…
AuntieMadder commented:
Why are Iowa and NH so important?
DANEgerus commented:
Harkin(D) is a “phony soldier” who lied about serving in Vietnam. When he’s not bowing to Communists he’s smearing Republicans… so go figure.
owl commented:
The Chart. The Chart. The Chart. Thanks Jim.
Wish we could catch Walsh’s attention with The Chart. He has guts enough to put it up and point at all that red. The problem has always been that we can’t get around the Dem’s media because our Elected dimwits, allow it to happen without a fight.
Harkin is only repeating what the Dem MSM has established as fact. When I hear and see Repubs nod and agree with their facts, I screammmmmmmmmm.
