Tea Party Rep. Gohmert Shares Wild New Conspiracy Theory

November 29th, 2012 4:55 pm Henry Decker

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert has a wild new conspiracy theory about President Obama, and even by his unhinged standards, it’s pretty far out there.

During an appearance on fellow right-wing loon Frank Gaffney’s radio show, Gohmert claimed that the Obama administration helped to depose Moammar Gadhafi “so that al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood could take over Libya.”

Audio of Gohmert’s bizzare rant is below, courtesy of Think Progress:

“This administration really embraced blowing out Mubarak — yes, do it up by all means — getting rid of Qaddafi, it wasn’t enough to send verbal accolades,” Gohmert said. “This administration sent planes and bombs and support to oust Qaddafi so that al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood could take over Libya.”

No explanation, however, of how killing Osama bin Laden and dozens of his top lieutenants fits into Obama’s master plan to elevate al Qaeda into power.

This is not Gohmert’s first deranged conspiracy theory with regards to national security. In July, Gohmert joined Michele Bachmann and three other Republican congresspeople in a bizzare campaign demanding an investigation into the Muslim Brotherhood’s “deep penetration” into the federal government. After Senator John McCain publicly defended Hillary Clinton’s deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, whom Bachmann had singled out, Gohmert memorably referred to the senator as “numbnuts.”

Additionally, Gohmert once warned that “terror babies” represented a grave threat to national security, leading to this heated confrontation with CNN’s Anderson Cooper:

Despite his strange theories and behavior, Gohmert seems likely to stick around Congress for a while; in 2012, he won re-election in Texas’ 1st congressional district with 72 percent of the vote.

Ann Richards, the late former Democratic governor of Texas, once made the brilliant observation that Texas was “the national laboratory for BAD government ideas.” Gohmert et al are vindicating her legacy!

This clown represents a district where Longview,Texas is located…

Probably a racist rural area in south West or South Texas.

http://www.facebook.com/dominick.vila.1 Dominick Vila

The most fascinating part of Gohmert’s statement, for people capable of rational thinking, is that he is voicing support for Qadaffi, the man responsible for the downing of a Pan Am plane and the death of over 200 Americans, to demonize the Muslim Brotherhood. Is this idiot aware of the fact that Egyptian President Morsy, a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, negotiated the recent peace agreement between Israel and Hamas? That his contribution was recognized by none other than Israeli President Shimon Peres and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, in addition to several other world leaders? The Tea Party, and the intellectually deprived crowd that listen to their rhetoric, is not only out of touch with world events and what is best for the USA and the world, they go as far as siding with terrorists that have harmed Americans and undermined our interests to score a few political points. Shame on them, and shame on those whose hatred and intolerance are so great they prefer to side with our enemies if that is what it takes to demonize a man they hate.

Dave_dido

Shame on the people who voted for him.It’s guys like him who have made Congress ineffectual. How do you compromise with an idiot like this? Texans, do you realize how much you are screwing up the country by sending goofballs like Gohmert to Washington? C’mon, we know you can do better.
docb

Sad but true, Dom! But few know or remember the history! Thanks for outlining it for us.

Additionally, I am not sure it is just hate re: President Obama….I think it is GUT ABJECT FEAR..He is succeeding and they are shown to be failures and anti-American!

You can thank the Tea Party. Did you see who we just elected as a Senator to replace Kay Bailey whom I disliked, but I really didn’t think they could elect someone as equally ignorant as our other Senator, but we did. Our other Senator was linked in the past to the famous bag man jack Abrahamoff.

I looked up what district he represents. He represents the district that my sister lives in. She probably voted for him. That is the district around Tyler in East TX. I guess she and I get the nuts.

Lunacy pure and simple. I blame the citizens who voted for this cretin and put him back for another term. Certainly they must have been aware of how dangerous and insane this man’s constant comments have been, so I put the onus upon them. Just why so many people vote for men like this fellow is beyond me.

BDD1951

All candidates need to do is run on the Republican label and their in here in TX. We’re working hard to turn the state blue, but it’ll 8 or 12 years yet.
Michael Kollmorgen

He is tapping into a deep hatred for people that white and far-right conservative people have and using that as leverage to get elected.

He don’t scare me, but the people who vote for a creep like this does.

On a positive note it is the ignorant lunatics like Gohmert and the folks that elect them serve as cultural warnings about the dangers of the low-information voter. It’s good to have district like TX-1 and MN-6 (Bachmann) to serve as examples of what can happen when they gather in one place. WE can watch for infestations of ignorance in other states and alert the CDC.

Divisive, hate spewing politicians are nothing new for America. The really tragic fact is that such a large slice of our electorate never seems to be able to progress beyond the point of 5th Grade reasoning and decision making. I am not sure if it is a sign of failing schools, the Rush Limbaugh effect, or a combination of both.

njguy54

Gohmert’s case should serve as an example to Dems and liberals of the need to be active in state and local elections as well as national campaigns. Re-electing Obama was all well and good… but Democrats need to get those same voters to the polls in two years, when there will be no presidential campaign. Otherwise, the Tea Partiers will seize the day like they did in 2010.

holtjp

You make an excellent point. While basking in the glow of the Democratic success in the national election it is easy to forget the strength of the far right in so many state and local governments.
Del WS

You’re absolutely correct. The Republican party has already figured out the wisdom in stocking Congress, governorships, state offices, and yes, even local positions with members of their party. I hope Democrats are taking note and will follow suit.

http://www.facebook.com/allan.richardson.969 Allan Richardson

Taken over the country as a whole, Democratic candidates for the House and Senate got more votes than Republican candidates in 2012 by about the same margin as Obama’s popular vote victory. The Senate now has a Democratic majority, although not a filibuster-proof majority. The House lost some Republican seats, but not enough. Why? Because Republicans who picked up state legislatures and governorships in 2010 (a census year, and a year in which voter turnout was lower) decided to gerrymander Congressional districts to guarantee the House majority.

Democratic leadership has already started the process of activating for the 2014 elections. The most daunting obstacle to Democrats is the rash of voter suppression laws coming out of gerrymandered statehouses.

The only reason all these wild conspiracies are coming up is that WE do not know the truth about anything in this Obama administration! He keeps a tight seal on his past records and his true agenda as president. Who can be sure what he says is what he does? NO more taxes? LIE! TRANSPARENCY..LIE!
Lets not blame this on either party because there is NO proof one way or another what the hell is going on! The Repubs come up with ideas and the dems mock them as dumb. Where is the prood either way? Can any of this be proven or refuted? NO! is the correct answer.
Just as with the Benghazi attack. Has anyone in the administration come up with a truthful or even believable response to what actually happened? What idiot would believe a stupid film fueled a vicious and brutal attack on our consulate? If this were true, this would give all of us an idea how ignorant, brutal and savage the Islams are, so what is Obama doing playing around with them? Why hasnt he responded as a true leader of a strong and free nation? Why isnt he acting like a president instead of an undercover agent for the muslim brotherhood?

johninPCFL

Maybe you forgot about the riots, killings and fatwah that were issued after some cartoons were published in a Danish paper? How about the riots and fatwah issued for Salman Rushdie after he published a book? Do you really think a film would elicit less reaction?

Yes, all college records are sealed. Where are Romney’s? He never released them. Where are his tax records showing the decade where he paid no income taxes ata ll and then took advantage of the tax repatriation act to bring the money home?

Trickle down has been run as the tax law of the land since the 1980s. In that time, the wealthy have accumulated 90% of all of the wealth in the country. What has been proven beyond any doubt is that the wealthy can buy elections, then buy policies to suit themselves, then take advantage of those policies. The average Congressman is now a multimillionaire. Their allegiance has shifted to the plutocrats.
karinursula

Have you lost all your marbles???? You sound just like an nutcase, my President is acting like an President.
Dave_dido

You’ve been watching too much Fox News, Regina. And please don’t tell me about the” mainstream media”- they may not get it right all the time, but they do a helluva lot better job than Fox. Remember how Fox told you that Romney would win the election? That alone should tell you all you need to know about Fox vs. “mainstream media” as regards truthtelling. If you would watch more” mainstream media”, you might come to realize that President Obama is an intelligent, patriotic American who is doing everything he can to help the country. If you can’t believe that then, by all means, enjoy your paranoia.

Here is a conspiricy theory: the republicans hijacked the christian religion and turned the worship of Jesus into the worship of money. They secretly hold meetings around a fire and in the middle is a golden calf
How’s that one??

dtgraham

OK, now you’re on to something.
http://www.facebook.com/allan.richardson.969 Allan Richardson

I doubt if that is LITERALLY true, but it does seem to capture the (evil) spirit of that kind of “Christianity” quite accurately. It reminds me of Dostoevsky’s dream vision of Christ and the Inquisitor. For those who have not read it, Jesus comes back to earth and is arrested by the Inquisition. The chief Inquisitor, knowing full well that this is the man he is supposedly worshiping, argues with Christ that when He rejected the temptation to worship Satan and tap into the money and power structure of the world, it was a mistake. But the Church “corrected” that “mistake” and was able to convert more souls than Christ and his early apostles had done. As we know, Dostoevsky was writing within the Russian Orthodox Church, which is separate from but not too dissimilar from the Roman Catholic Church, especially in his day.

donbronkema1

Before 1961, Gohmert might have been certifiable!…today, political paranoia reflects the terror of moral ‘bouleversement’–as per gays, morning-after pill, rising atheism, proof of evolution, internet porn, alien values in globalizing media, secularization in the ranks of evangelicals, loss of nat’l pre-eminence, etc…now imagine the effects, at no great remove, of gun control, right-to-die, neural implants, decriminalization of drugs & sexwork–even 3D printing!
Mike Tierney

Actually, killing bin Laden was part of the conspiracy. The “real” al Qaeda guys needed him out of the way because he opposed the collaboration with Obama. And bin Laden has Obama’s real birth certificate from Kenya in his personal papers.
This stuff is all so simple and clear. What is wrong with our media that they don’t see the connections? Gohmert/Bachmnn in 2016!!!!
Or maybe by 2016 Texas will have seceded and they can run for President of that world.

Michael Kollmorgen

Texas and Arizona both could leave this country and I wouldn’t shed a tear over it.

But, the United States still holds all rights to any assets they have.

Actually, all these Red States could form their own government. The rest of us would join with Canada and be better for it as a result. That’s of course, IF Canada would have us.

Gohmert doesn’t let any facts get in his way. When you live in never never land, paranoia is the norm. I’m sure he actually believes what he’s saying, which is really scary. You know that he has lost his marbles, maybe he never had any, when he calls his fellow republican, John McCain “numbnuts”.

If the GOP was serious about remodeling itself in the wake of the 2012 election, its leadership would tell Gohmert and his ilk to shut their pie-holes. But as it stands, it will take just one of these wingnuts to undo any effort at broader outreach — in this case, to the non-crazy population.

While possibly embarrassing, Texas came to it’s present level of ignorance honestly via the traditional method of working hard to be as dumb as possible. It followed Alabama’s lead.

When Gohmert kept saying “help us fill the hole” at the end I started looking around on his head, sure I would find that hole somewhere on it. It’s amazing that a member of Congress could spend an entire interview that lasted several minutes screaming at the top of his lungs. I don’t think he ever let Cooper get more than 4 or 5 words out of his mouth before he started ranting again. When you don’t want to allow the other person to speak it’s a clear indication that you are afraid they are going to reveal that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Michelle Rose

Demagogue? Or simply a lunatic? Unfortunately, lunatics are rarely “simple.” That man is a bewildering concoction of half-baked racism, left-over xenophobia, reheated paranoia, and plain ol’ fortress mentality. Not exactly “simple”, but certainly toxic.

It astonishes me that such people actually exist, but then, I’m from Oregon and a wingnut like that here would be gently and carefully restrained and then remanded into custody of the Mental Health division. (Unless he waves a gun around, in which case, our cops are more likely to shoot him)

It’s tempting to label him as very very sick. But his sickness seems to be endemic to southern politicians. Something in the water down south? I dunno, but there is a cure for it, at least for younger folks. It’s called Get The Facts. Past a certain undefinable age, the brains of people like Gohmert lose their flexibility; a form of Alzheimer’s, I suspect. Beyond that point, no amount of facts or sweet reason can convince people like Gohmert that their ideas are nothing but insanity.

Sounds like plain old sound truth to me. Gohmert is just painting you a truthful picture of whats really happened. Funny, but with the leftwing commie media, who refuses to inform us or even tell the truth for that matter, you people want to kill the messenger. Here, I’ll say it again, OBAMA IS ARMING and AIDING RADICAL MUSLIMS IN THEIR QUEST TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD! The killing of OBL and his henchmen was just another globalist lie meant to make Obama appear to not be the enemy. Believe me, he is the enemy along with the rest of his regime. You people need to wake up and see all of this for what it really is instead of condemning the truth. Gohmert is by no means alone in his beliefs, so keep calling him a redneck or whatever, but don’t forget to thank him when reality hits you in the face.

It needs to STOP along with their Bias and Prejudice that is increasingly obvious against Pres. Obama which has and is hindering the countries recovery from the Last Bush/Republican recession/depression..Lets be real

Damn, these radical lunatics hate supporting a President who actually gives a damn about the middle class, our seniors and sustaining a safety net for the poor. They seem to hate that he feels that the wealthy, who are the only ones who actually thrived during an economic crisis, should contribute more to the treasury, not hide the money they made in the USA, in foreign bank accounts and export our jobs. So this “pro-Muslim” President, who was the one who actually killed Bin Laden and who has done more to destroy Al-Quaeda’s leadership and their ability to perform major terrorist attacks, than any previous administration, is actually conspiring to allow them to perform attacks. I hope the GOP continues their crazy ranting and totally ludacris attacks on the President, as they are just digging their own political graves.
