Rep. Louie Gohmert: Hate crimes bill will lead to Nazism, legalization of necrophilia, pedophilia, and bestiality.
Rep. Louie Gohmert: Hate crimes bill will lead to Nazism, legalization of necrophilia, pedophilia, and bestiality.
Led by Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-PA) last night, lawmakers convened for a special session of floor speeches urging a repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Rather than participate positively in the discussion, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) took to the floor to deliver a hate-filled response. Gohmert fired off a litany of attacks, calling the DADT repeal “perverse…social experimentation” and that soldiers are being “held hostage by a sociological attack.” His rant included a bizarre argument that the Matthew Shepard hate crimes bill would lead to a legalization of necrophilia, pedophilia, and bestiality. Later in the speech, after reading lengthy passages from the Bible against homosexuality, Gohmert said that taking away “moral teaching in America” would create a situation similar to that of Germany in the “1920’s and 1930’s” when a “little guy with a mustache” took over:
GOHMERT: If you’re oriented toward animals, bestiality, then, you know, that’s not something that can be used, held against you or any bias be held against you for that. Which means you’d have to strike any laws against bestiality, if you’re oriented toward corpses, toward children, you know, there are all kinds of perversions, [...] pedophiles or necrophiliacs or what most would say is perverse sexual orientations but the trouble is, we made amendments to eliminate pedophiles from being included in the definition. [...] But people have always been willing to give up their liberties, their freedoms in order to gain economic stability. It happened in 1920 and 1930’s. Germany gave up their liberties to gain economic stability and they got a little guy with a mustache, who was the ultimate hate monger. And this is scary stuff we’re doing here when we take away what has traditionally been an important aspect of moral teaching in America.
Watch it:
Several times in the speech, Gohmert credited the conservative Christian “C Street” leader Chuck Colson for inspiration. Oddly, Gohmert also meandered into a self-defensive monologue about how he is not racist because he once voted for Alan Keyes, the birther leader who has said that President Obama is “a radical communist” who “is going to destroy this country, and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist.”

Trying to ensure people have health care is analogous to exterminating Jews?
It’s gotten to the point where anything Democrats try to do, they compare to Nazis.

October 7th, 2009 at 9:57 amThis guy should be writing screenplays, not trying to legislate.
Intelligent comments are always welcome. Rote recitation of right wing talking points are not.
It always amazes me how some people can equate protecting the freedom of others with the downfall of liberty. They’ve said it when it was equal rights for women, they’ve said it when it was equal rights for African-Americans and they say it now.

October 7th, 2009 at 10:03 amI’d comment, but instead of getting intelligent responses my comment will just be voted down. So I’m not going to bother.

Good stuff, Maynard! Excellent catch.
These monsters must be stopped–and make no mistake, they are MONSTERS. As un-American as Hitler ever was. They have Zero Tolerance for any views outside their own–on religion, politics, economics, manners, what-frickin’-EVER.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:04 amHistory will not look kindly at these hate mongers. They will be seen in their true light as vulgar, stupid, small-minded bigots. In the future, people will be amazed that Americans were so blind and base as to elevate these men to high office. Time is not on their side.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:05 amDaddy-O@18, I couldn’t agree more. The GOP doesn’t care about peons like us. They would rather help Big Business then serve their constituents. If they could, they would dismantle S.S. AND Medicare. I really believe these people have no empathy.

Gay servicemen and women, can you hear us from your secure locations? You mirror every despicable act of mankind. You are a uniformed, nation-serving disgrace.
We support the troops!!!!! (Square-jawed, christian, straight white males need apply)
October 7th, 2009 at 10:09 amif only this idiot realized how funny his nazi fingerpointing really is.
considering that he is inspired by c-street a group that is organized and funded by “the family” it is outrageous. The family was openly supporting hitler in the 1930s… Hitler had a portrait of Henry Ford in his office. The right wing in our country was practically unified in its support of Hitlers germany because he was a christian.
if you haven’t read jeff sharlet’s book The Family you should. reading about what these people believe is frightening, but it does make a lot of their positions a lot more understandable…. if no less disgusting.
the right needs to realize that its there said that most closely mirrors the nazi’s and its their side that was actively supporting Hitler… even W’s grandfather was funneling nazi party money into the US after the war had already started. if only he had been hung for treason as he rightfully should have been.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:14 amTLH, I’m willing to listen.
I’m willing to be civil in my responses, as long as the replies and discussion involved don’t break into name-calling and overall disrespect.
I’m not willing to talk to one-sentence trolls.
I’m asking that the others here hold back on insults.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:14 amWhy are there so many obvious raving lunatics in Congress? And why are such a disproportionate number of them Republicans?
Let’s see if I’ve got Gohmert’s somewhat twisted logic pathway right: Repealing DADT = perverse social experimentation = Matthew Shepherd hate crimes bill = necrophilia, pedophilia, bestiality = take away moral teaching = Hitler. And in only six degrees of separation.
Are these nutcases going to play the Kevin Bacon game to tie EVERYTHING to Hitler?

How many times will they rehash the same old, same old nonsense?
Me, I’m not thrilled at the thought of someone being punished more for their beliefs, but if Hate Crime legislation discourages people from acting out on their hatred, then so be it.
As has been demonstrated many times, this legislation hardly does anything they say it does.

October 7th, 2009 at 10:21 amHate, to these GOP wingnuts, is a powerful weapon, and a virtue if you hate the right things. How could they support laws against it?
Here he’s saying “these are the things it is good to hate (e.g. pedophilia), and therefore all hate is good”.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:21 amThe Liberty Handbook, you seem to be the coward.

October 7th, 2009 at 10:23 amRep. Louie Gohmer (R-TX): A walking hate crime.
Same guy that had the gall to attack Murtha for wanting to pull out of Iraq. Murtha was a decorated Marine. Gohmert was a JAG (…off)
Same guy that pals around with Alex Jones (who believes a radio-controlled demolition by the US govt brought down the WTC so the govt could create a fascist dictatorship and merge us into the North American Union and put everyone who doesnt believe in global warming in concentration camps)
Same guy that…well, you get the idea. Gohmert is exactly what’s wrong with Texas GOP pols (and the reactionary right, in general). Throw the craziest shite out there just because you can.
Thanks to DeLay, Gohmert represents a district that’s R+21. He’s not going anywhere until he resigns, is involuntarily committed, or is taken down by the police after going on a spree to “purify society”

October 7th, 2009 at 10:27 amI’m wondering if Louie didn’t miss a good one in his rant. What are the possible consequences of the Hate Crimes bill, when teemed with repeal of DADT, in re the potential overturning of the biblical admonition which prohibits self-castration? (I can’t cite chapter and verse, but surely it’s gotta be in there someplace). Could it be made Conservative-specific, I wonder? Something to ponder.
Frankly, as soon as someone – anyone – starts quoting that “antique volume, written by faded men” (Emily Dickinson) I shut them off as being already beyond the pale. But for Louie, a bit of wisdom. Are you reading this, Louie? This isn’t exactly biblical, but I’m sure you’ll appreciate the wisdom implicit:
“If we pursue this way, if we are decent, industrious, and honest, if we so loyally and truly fulfill our duty, then it is my conviction that in the future as in the past the Lord God will always help us.” ~ Adolf Hitler, at the Harvest Thanksgiving Festival on the Buckeburg held on 3 Oct. 1937

October 7th, 2009 at 10:35 amLater in the speech, after reading lengthy passages from the Bible against homosexuality,
Can I see a transcript? Even if the “lengthy passages” are in this clip, my stomach just isn’t up to listening to some hateful jerk like Gohmert. The thing is, I’ve never seen “lengthy passages” about how much God hates the homos. There is one short reference in Leviticus, along with a ban on shellfish and pork, a ban on haircuts and blended fabrics, but everything else that has been tossed out as “proof” is subject to bad translation and a lot of interpretation. If Gomer here has a “lengthy passage” I’d like to see the reference.
And would someone please explain why the Far Right is so obsessed with bestiality? Are there a lot of reformed sheep humpers in the party or what?
October 7th, 2009 at 10:35 amGohmert makes no sense. I love when repubs like him, Foxx (NC), and Bachmann speak on the floor of the House. They are the best advertisement for the insanity that is the repub party.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:35 amThe republicans continue to vote these cretins into office.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:36 amMan, oh man. Why can’t there be more Texas pols like Sam Rayburn? Guy wasn’t a progressive by most measures (though he DID refuse to sign the Southern Manifesto), but he knew how to effectively debate, he knew how to work policy…and he never pulled the kind of shite you see in politics today. A real Texas gentleman.
Unlike Gohmert, who could at best be describes as a true Texas turd.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:37 amGOPers are obssessed with sex. This guy Gohmert probably has his own secret issues.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:37 amgummble-bee-itch, I heard yesterday that Conservapedia is rewriting the bible to put in all the hate speech that should have been included, according to the reich wing.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:38 amAh, Chuck Colson. Where have I heard that (Watergate) name before?
October 7th, 2009 at 10:39 amDoes anyone have video footage on Gohmert eating shellfish on the Sabbath? We could have a stoning party and sell rocks for a buck a pop.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:41 amMore and more it seems that the GOP is trying to destroy America with it’s constant reference to ‘what THEY think’ religion is and isn’t.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:41 amThis is America and we have the RIGHT to CHOOSE, that is what democracy is all about.
Next, WHO are we to JUDGE anything? None of us are GOD and judging is GOD’S job NOT OURS.
Gohmert brings up necrophilia in a debate about homosexuality?
It sounds like Louie has some skeletons in his closet with him.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:41 amI love Louie. He reminds me of my favorite tv show, “Gohmert Pyle”.
I’m disappointed I’m the only one who’s supporting him so far. America deserves better, don’t you think?
October 7th, 2009 at 10:45 amWe should respect states’ rights by using the power of the federal government to mandate Conservapedia teaching in public schools. One centralized authority, one moral code, all 50 states.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:45 amme: And would someone please explain why the Far Right is so obsessed with bestiality? Are there a lot of reformed sheep humpers in the party or what?
Actually, I think the answer is simple (other than those sheep humpers): Even the barking, foaming mad fundies realize there has been a huge shift in awareness in this country. Most straight Americans have certainly come to realize that gay people are no threat to them, that they work alongside gay people without being ravished and are now content just to treat them as fellow human beings.
In order to truly demonize gays, the fundies have to tie them to sexual behavior that few condone–sheep-humping and bone-boning is fairly repellent to most people, I’d guess–so they desperately cling to the “slippery slope”, the completely illogical belief that boys kissing boys is a heartbeat away from boys slipping it to your Labrador. No one spends so much time thinking about sexual perversion as your average fundie.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:50 amGohmert says: Oh my god the sky is falling, its going to start raining cats and dogs. Animals will be humping trees, people will be humping animals, all the birds will become gay, kids will start talking back to their parents, oh my god!. Quick! quick! run for your lives, the sky is falling.

Keep bashing women, gays, poor people, Latinos and Africa-Americans. Keep logic and science out of the debate. Keep listening to your disgraced alum Rove, Morris, Gingrich and DeLay. Keep astroturfing, let Beck, Hannity and Limbaugh speak for your party, and do support Bachmann in her re-election bid. Keep fighting the President, and fight health and energy reform, use your think tanks and your religious base to blindly keep the neo-cons and corportists going. Keep the myths of Reagan, Friedman and Kristol alive. Keep telling us that you believe in the Constitution and separation of church and state. Keep educating your children at home and then on to Liberty, Regents and Patrick Henry–and then on to government, at every level and in every department. We know that you are all biblical capitalist and christian nationaists. We know that you want to use the bible to govern, and we know that you want every social/secular progam eliminated or priviatized. We know–that if we ignore you or laugh all of this off–we do so at our peril.

Btw, I heard that the ‘C’ Street building is classified as a church…you know, for tax purposes. I didn’t know that men took their mistresses to church to conduct extramarital affairs these days!
October 7th, 2009 at 11:09 amSome stupid people can be forgiven because they don’t know any better. This POS, on the other hand, is just more vile.
October 7th, 2009 at 11:10 amOh, Come On!
We’ve seen this play before!! Time and time again. GOP Christian GOOBER hates himself some Gay from his pulpit or podium.
Yadda, Yadda Yadda. Hate. Hate. Hate.
THEN, goes and out and gets himself some Gay when the street light flickers.
Leaving his show wife at home with her BOB and insuring plenty of cash to grease his pole from the SHEEP who buy his bogus back alley boogie.
This is just another sleaze Christian GOP hypocrite projection.

There, fixed it for him.
October 7th, 2009 at 11:23 am“Rep. Louie Gohmert: Hate crimes bill will lead to Nazism, legalization of necrophilia, pedophilia, and bestiality.” Louie loves him some dead, two year old horses, don’t he? After all, he is from Texas.

Seems to me that when Republican “core values” prove to be anti-American citizen rights, then you’ve just proven the case against Republican arguments.

That’s asking that Rep. Goehmert be consistent with his own argument. You’re not being fair (sccording to the right-whiner rule-book) asking right-whiners to be consistent with his own argument.
Right-whiners can be (and usually are) in-consistent as much as they want. They hold everyone else to a higher standard than they hold themselves. It’s the right-whiner way, as far as I can tell!

The King James Version of the Bible translates verse 9 and 10 as:
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
re: the word ‘effeminate’
Although “homosexual” is a very common translation, it is almost certain to be inaccurate
http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bibc1.htm
This web site is a great place to see the ‘other side’ of bible translation/interpretation.
But, nevertheless, the ‘effeminate’ have quite a lot of company as far are being shut out of heaven!
October 7th, 2009 at 12:37 pmOnly myopic repugs would equate homosexuality with necrophilia, pedophilia and bestiality. Why did he leave out incest?
October 7th, 2009 at 12:56 pmWhat an utter jackass.
October 7th, 2009 at 12:57 pmAnd this guy is in congress? The House of Reps? So when he was out there spouting this crazy shit, what did the other Reps do? Just sat there and listened? Didn’t anyone say STFU? How do they tolerate such blatant craziness?
I don’t understand how people like Gohmert and Bachmann are able to stand up and ramble on like a crazy person without anyone calling them on it then and there.
Or is that against the rules in the House?

I’ve wondered about that myself. Though I have noticed that the really crazy ones seem to be speaking to a, mostly, empty room. I don’t know if people just leave when the crazy train roars through or if they schedule their time for when the Reps have better things to do elsewhere.
October 7th, 2009 at 1:47 pmThis man is repulsive! Even a mule would not have sex with him. And why are Rethug representatives OBSESSED with unnatural sex and Nazis? What a bunch of twisted freaks.

Simple. Incest is the most likely form of sexual abuse.
But the repubs have to ignore the real situation and call in the boogey-man to keep the kiddies scared.

Does anyone have video footage on Gohmert eating shellfish on the Sabbath? We could have a stoning party and sell rocks for a buck a pop.
It’s amazing this country survived with idiot xtians having a hand in everything. When will Americans learn that they are the source of all our problems and vote them out, tax their dens of hatred, and shout them down every time they try to spew their idiocy outside those dens.
October 7th, 2009 at 8:03 pmI would like to bet that Mr. Gohmert had a secret that,when exposed,will show him to be just another religious hypocrite.Let’s see how long it takes.
October 7th, 2009 at 11:46 pmHasn’t anyone noticed what he said about “loss of morality in a nation” leading directly to “economic chaos?”
There are two ways to interpret that. Either it means that the morality which has been lost is financial ethics (which actually makes sense, but is not what he’s addressing), or it is some personal religious belief that his god will financially reward those who follow his idea of sexual morality and will financially punish those who violate it. So he seems to have simply slipped some theology (Calvinist? Something straight from Deuteronomy?) into his stated assumptions about how the world works.
But then he gets stranger, because he says in the same sentence, “and when you have economic chaos it is tragic but people have always been willing to give up their liberties, their freedoms, in order to gain economic stability. ”
If you actually think about what he just said, it seems he’s saying that people have been willing to give up their freedoms to do “evil” in order to avoid the financial consequences of that evil. If economic chaos is the result of sexual immorality, and cure for it is giving up freedoms to gain economic stability, and he’s using Hitler as his example of the result of that kind of trade-off, then what he’s saying about his own preference for forcing sexual morality on other people – constricting their freedoms, “giving up liberty for financial stability” is that he’s on the side of Hitler. Or he’s saying that if you’re not willing to risk a Hitler, you should not vote to restrict people’s freedoms even if their sexual perversions lead to economic chaos.
Got that?
Whew!
Here’s the way it reads, as I simply transcribed from the video:
“I go back to what a friend Chuck Coleson had pointed out earlier this year and that is when you lose morality in a nation, you create economic instability leading to economic chaos, and when you have economic chaos it is tragic but people have always been willing to give up their liberties, their freedoms, in order to gain economic stability. It happened in 1920s and 30s Germany. They gave up their liberties to gain economic stability and they got a little guy with a mustache — who was the ultimate hate monger. And this is scary stuff we’re doing here when we take away what has traditionally been an important aspect of moral teaching in America.”

Fred – Excellent quote. Where is it from? (And I think if more people read Mein Kampf they’d realize who the real Hitlers/Nazis are – the Righties).
Yeah, but see, that would involve thinking, as well as reading (reading crititcally, gasp!), which I don’t think any of these idiots will know how to do.
