Jordanian MP Pulls Gun on Opponent on Live TV (Video)

Lovely.
On Jordanian TV, a member of Parliament pulled a gun on his opponent during a live television debate.

A Jordanian member of parliament pulled a gun on a political activist during a furious debate live on Jordanian TV on Friday.

The MP, named in a YouTube clip of the confrontation as Mohammed Shawabka, was debating a political activist named in the clip as Mansour Sayf al-Din Murad, discussing aspects of Jordanian politics including attitudes surrounding the uprising in Syria.

As the discussion became more heated, each of the men accused the other of various crimes and deviancies, including working for the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency. “You’re a Mossad agent,” said one. “You’re a big crook,” said the other.

The MP stood up and began screaming and pointing at the activist, who was sitting opposite him, while the host of the program, Mohammed Habashneh, seated in the center, desperately urged his guests to “calm down.”

They sort of remind you of Democrats, huh?

So why isn’t it “disrespectful” to name every other of your male spawn mohammed?

I don’t see a lot of kids named Jesus Christ or Jehovah running around.

So my Arabic is a bit rusty (haven’t used it in awhile), but it sounded like the straw that broke the camel’s back (pun only partially intended!) was when the activist told the MP that he was his father. That was when the shoe got whipped out. Then the MP says something to the effect of, “My father!?!” then pulls the gun.

That was a hoot! Very entertaining, especially since we could’t understand a single word. For a moment, I thought it was slapstick.

The man sitting left said:
Obamacare is a Tax and Obama is muslim,
The man of right: No no no Obamacare is not a tax and he’ll save the US and rest of the world.

The man sitting left: You are fool like millions in world
The man sitting rigth: How you dare I got a gun right here I’ll shut up your mouth with 6 bullets.
The man sitting left: C’mon playboy I want to see

That’s it
