Rep. Pete Sessions: Taliban is ‘a model’ for how GOP can become an ‘insurgency.’
Rep. Pete Sessions: Taliban is ‘a model’ for how GOP can become an ‘insurgency.’
In an interview with Hotline, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) said the Republican party will have to be come an “insurgency” to counter Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, and added that the Taliban can serve as “a model”:
“Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban,” Sessions said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. “And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person’s entire processes. And these Taliban — I’m not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that’s not what we’re saying. I’m saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with.” [...]
When pressed to clarify, Sessions said he was not comparing the House Republican caucus to the Taliban, the Muslim fundamentalist group. “I simply said one can see that there’s a model out there for insurgency,” Sessions said before being interrupted by an aide.
Sessions made a similar analogy last week at the House Republicans’ retreat, saying that Republicans “need to get over the idea that they’re participating in legislation and ought to start thinking of themselves as ‘an insurgency’ instead.”

OMG!! I really don’t know what to say to that. Pete is really off his rocker.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:38 pmSo, Sessions is calling for a jihad against the Administration.
How neo-Nazi unAmerican of him.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:39 pmI love it. A repug acknowledging the repugs are terrorists. You go, Sessions.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:40 pmNo doubt, we need to meet him halfway or we’re not being reasonable bipartisans.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:41 pmAt least he is honest. The Repugs are the enemy of the United States and should be treated as such.
I may re-consider my opposition to waterboarding. At least long enough to wipe the smirks off their faces.
What’s with the smirk anyway? They all do it.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:41 pmThese guys are worthless and unpatiotic. If they cannot have their selfish way, they had rather destroy the country. They lost and haven’t figured out that the American people have rejected their failed policies. They will lose more in 2010.

The Republican Party needs to pattern itself after an acknowledged terrorist organization. Send your checks here.

The fact is, the Republican Party (the neocon wing) has been using terror (i.e. fear) to advance their political policies and demands. Just listen to Cheney and no further proof is necessary. This IS terrorism.

Holy cow, how delusional are these Repigs?!?
February 5th, 2009 at 2:46 pmMaybe its right for the Republicans to compare themselves to the Taliban. They act like a cult anyway. A Mammon worshipping cult. They have got to go!
February 5th, 2009 at 2:46 pmWait a minute here.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:46 pmIs he comparing the GOP to Islamofacials?

they are the undisputed Kings of talking out their asses.
hope someone asks dim bulb Cantor to expand on Sessions’ remarks.

Really??
February 5th, 2009 at 2:53 pmDisturbed minds do think alike!
Just saying . . .
February 5th, 2009 at 2:54 pmThe Taliban analogy is fitting on several fronts.
One, they’re a dictatorial theocratic form of government. Not unlike the lunatic fringe calling themselves republicans.
Two, they are conducting an insurgency, just as republicans are now, sabotaging the will of the people.
Three, and most importantly to me, is the Taliban represents the REGRESSION of civilization. Just as these religious fanatics want to turn the clock back a few centuries, so do the modern day republicans. I have a feeling republicans nowadays would fit right into any monarchical, aristocratic, feudal type of system, pre-Magna Carta.
February 5th, 2009 at 2:56 pm“I simply said one can see that there’s a model out there for insurgency,” Sessions said before being interrupted by an aide.

I’ll say! All this statement above lacks is Katie Couric nodding and saying nothing.

Both terrorist groups fight on ‘religious grounds’ but their real mission is to concentrate power in the hands of a few while using the name of God to instill fear & obedience in the masses.
Every Congress Critter should be audited by the IRS.Now!
February 5th, 2009 at 3:06 pmThis is sweet. The Repugs are suddenly in a minority so it makes sense they need to do something about it. When faced with the ‘tyranny of the majority’ (I don’t remember which troll came out with that gem but thank you) it makes perfect sense to resort to insurgency.
All of a sudden the repug meme about terrorists shifts to freedom fighters. Majority=terrorist, minority=patriots.
I can’t wait to hear Rush’s view.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:07 pmSounds like treason to me. Let’s hope that it’s dealt with appropriately.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:10 pmHeh. Finally! Proof that the GOP *is* a terrorist organization!
February 5th, 2009 at 3:10 pmI’d like to see the president himself latch onto this quote and make it public as a way to argue against obstructionism.
“Rep. Sessions stated that he wants the GOP to pattern itself after the Taliban, and become American insurgents in order to impose their agenda on the rest of the country.”
No part of that is a lie, nothing taken out of context. Put these bastards on the defensive and bipartisanship be damned!
If the GOP is so hell bent on not sitting at the table with enemies, President Obama should comply with their wishes. They have made it crystal clear that the GOP is the enemy.
PEACE
February 5th, 2009 at 3:11 pmaside from the lolwut factor, how is this anything besides an admission to “party of NO” status? we all knew that their MO was simply obstructionism and now he just goes and says it. easy enough.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:16 pmInitially, I thought they are more like AlQaeda, the base. Religious fundamentalists bent on forcing their archaic ideas on the world. I guess they are more like the Taliban in their repression of modern thought. Either way those three groups have a lot of similarities.
They must’ve traded notes when HW hosted the Taliban at the WH twenty-odd years ago.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:16 pmCan you imagine if a Democrat, any Democrat, had said something similar when we were the minority party?
OMG! There would have been wall to wall media coverage, FuxNews would be calling the entire party treasonous traitors and the terror threat would have moved up to orange!
Will this get any coverage? I’m guessing, outside of Keith and Rachel, the answer is no.

February 5th, 2009 at 3:17 pmI thought we were trying to KILL all the members of the Taliban. Now Sessions wants the American people to know that his strategy is to mimic the Taliban? WTF!!!!!
The GOP is nuts…
February 5th, 2009 at 3:17 pmDoes this mean that ‘patriotic Americans’ can take up arms and shoot Wall street executives?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:18 pmReally?! Taliban, mmmm let me see, Republicans under G.H. Walker Bush worked with the Mujahideen, who later emerges as the Taliban, who now work with Al Quida, and now the Republicans are siting their new strategy to win will be to use the Taliban strategy against Dems. Michael Phelps did you send any Republicans some of your weed?
February 5th, 2009 at 3:20 pmWow. Talk about a bankrupt party. I can only imagine the firebreathing frenzy the lunatic right would be in if a Democrat said anything like this. These people never cease to amze me. Scumbags.
February 5th, 2009 at 3:21 pmI’m saying an example of how you go about [sic]

It could be funnier if I understood the placement of “sic.”

I prefer to describe the Republican base as al-Qa’ida as well – it’s accurate in both languages. Taliban literally means “students,” and thus calling Republicans the American Taliban implies that they’re attempting to learn something. Obviously, nothing can be farther from the truth.

February 5th, 2009 at 5:57 pmWhat do you expect from a party that has made Rush Limbaugh their new leader, hires “Joe the Plumber” as a political advisor, and considers Sarah Palin their front-runner for 2012?
Sessions actually has the right mentality. He seems to have given up trying to appeal to voters and win back power democratically, so the Taliban is the perfect analogy for what the GOP has degenerated into.

February 5th, 2009 at 6:20 pmI have a feeling this is exactly what Republicans are talking about as their overall strategy behind closed doors. Just look at their tactics.
They can’t fight the big battles, so they’ll use guerilla warfare against Obama. They won’t come out and tell voters they are against any type of stimulus bill, so instead they’ll criticize the $40 million for the Endowment for the Arts, or money for controceptives, or funding for STD prevention. It’s a political form of guerilla warfare. Don’t fight the big battle (that we shouldn’t have a stimulus for example), fight the little guerilla attacks you think you can win.
They don’t even like to face Obama head to head because of his popularity, so they mostly criticize people like Nancy Pelosi who are less popular.
It is a cowardly political tactic.
February 5th, 2009 at 6:24 pmAs others have said, this certainly proves that the GOP patterns itself after terrorists. I hope the CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, etc. are now wiretapping & following Sessions & all GOP members. Amazing. I’m still shaking my head in disbelief. This man wants Republicans to study terrorist techniques to defeat a democratically elected party. Shouldn’t he be tried & jailed for treason? Good Lord.

I don’t know if this is a case of somebody talking stupid, or of somebody saying out loud what all the rest of them were already thinking. They value “saying what others were thinking,” as some kind of virtue don’t they?
I must admit, if he does have some idea what he’s talking about, then that’s a crazy amount of self-awareness right there.
February 5th, 2009 at 7:52 pmThe truth will out.
The Republicans look more and more like the Taliban lately, but especially over the past eight years, and especially with their hardcore right-wing religious fundamentalist contingent, than any patriotic American organization.
After the 9/11 attacks (by hardcore right-wing religious fundamentalists) and after the initial lethal Anthrax mailings (targeting Democratic senators), a whole lot of hardcore religious fundamentalist right-wingers thought it would be “fun” to sprinkle powder into envelopes and mail these terrorist letters to liberal individuals and organizations. Copycat terrorist mailings, numbering well over a hundred thousand (by my estimate) have occurred over the past almost eight years since the initial lethal anthrax terrorist mailing.
Of course, right-wing terrorist mailings involving powder happened long before the lethal 2001 anthrax mailings, less frequently though, but since then the right-wing terrorist mailings have gone through the roof.
This is just one of the many “dirty little secrets” that the Bush administration and Republican-controlled Justice Department have worked overtime to keep hidden from public view since late 2001. Right-wing copycat terrorist mailings are a national problem, but any reports of these mailings tend to only happen at the local level. And yet, someone in the Justice Department must have statistics at hand recording each and every incident, who was targeted and how any investigation is proceeding, if at all. Haven’t heard a peep about this, have you?
February 5th, 2009 at 10:01 pmAnyone who likens governance to an insurgency by enemies of the nation against an elected President is a traitor. I know I have to pay the salaries of stupid Congresspeople, but I don’t think I ought to have to pay the salaries of traitors.

Actually, another form of treason is the Geraldo type. Sessions is informing the Terrorists that we HAVE learned something from them, and that is a state secret, so he is committing that level of treason also.

Unk, do you think we could try a RETROACTIVE jihad against the Botch administration? I’d join.

February 6th, 2009 at 2:32 amI’m addressing the rest of CONgress and the MSMBS. Deaf, all of them.
nanlichi says “I’d love to wipe the smirk off their
faces. They all do that.”
Ha! I was just thinking that as I looked at Session’s
ugly mug.
It has been mentioned that we have been in a civil war
since the Repukes stole the 2000 election. I think it
is true and we’re just at the talking stage now.
In 1980, when Reagan was elected, I thought, “I’ll give
February 6th, 2009 at 4:51 amthe U.S. 20 years to a 2nd revolution.” I’ll say a
real, honest-to-goodness civil war will begin, guns
and all, here in 2012 or 2013. Let’s all pray I’m
wrong.
Game of Life says- “I don’t understand the sic.”
It looked to me as if what he said just before the “sic
and what he said just after it didn’t match.
“Sic” just means “this is exactly what was said” so a
reader knows the writer didn’t make a mistake writing
down the comment.
Read it again. You’ll see.
February 6th, 2009 at 5:12 amEnnuiDivine, hold on. You think ectoendomezo is over
the top. I think he’s onto something. I hope he’s
wrong, but I can’t count him out.
Would you really have thought a year ago we’d all be
February 6th, 2009 at 5:22 amhaving this conversation tonight?
Alecto says- I got it!! Rush must have EATEN Osama.
Now it all makes sense!
Heh, heh – you may be right. “You are what you eat.”
February 6th, 2009 at 6:08 amSo the Regressives are now considering themselves the new insurgency ala Taliban? Well at least we now know what up with Boehner’s monster tan!
February 6th, 2009 at 7:56 amA real terrorist speaks.
February 6th, 2009 at 10:33 amDoes that mean they will start attending radical madrassas??
Can’t wait for the Taliban look to hit congress.

February 6th, 2009 at 12:23 pmIs the Republican Party a front for the American Nazi Party? From the repugnant comments that Republicans continue to make, what else are we supposed to think?
Another impassibility is that it is a front for the American Crackpot Party.
February 6th, 2009 at 3:43 pmSESSIONS NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL, CATHOLIC SCHOOL. THOSE NUNS WOULD WIPE THAT SMUG SNEER OFF HIS FACE. THE TALIBAN WOULD BE A GOOD ROLE MODEL FOR THE GOP? I THOUGHT AL-QUAIDA WAS THEIR ROLE MODEL. WHAT A SURPRISE TO FIND, THEY LIKE THE TALIBAN BETTER. HMMM…TALIBAN AL-QUAIDA…TALIBAN AL-QUAIDA. TWO SUCH WONDERFUL CHOICES. MAYBE THESE REPUBS SHOULD CRAWL BACK INTO THE WOODWORK AND JUST SHUT THE F— UP!
February 6th, 2009 at 10:02 pmOf course, Republicans have become a Right-Wing Taliban domestic Insurgency. They are our worst nightmare and America’s most dangerous enemy. Over the past eight years, Republicans and their insane ideology have wrecked the U.S. economy and now they are waging shrill guerilla warfare against the current administration’s efforts to save us. The Republicans in Congress are now America’s Quislings, Trojan Horse, Fifth Columnists, and Public Enemy Number One. We may survive the current crisis, but it will have to be over the dead body of the Republican Party.
