Babbin Jokes About Norquist: I'm Glad He Didn't Fly That Plane Into An IRS Building (VIDEO)

If he thought this was funny he must have been in stitches when the hijackers flew their planes into the World Trade Centers.

Domestic terrorism, haha! Funny!

Prick.

And what did Grover Norquist say about the "joke"? Did the crowd laugh and cheer?

Oooh. Too soon?

During the next election, every Democrat should define "Kidding on the Square" and provide examples like this.

Watching coverage of CPAC, I just keep thinking that every one of these idiots reminds me of White Goodman from Dodgeball.

Wow. Yeah, that's freaking hilarious -- what a tone-deaf jerk.

Apparently Norquist is a potential threat to our national security. Better lock him up in Guantanamo North.

Babbin also apparently holds information that could lead to the capture of additional domestic terrorists. We should see how he feels about waterboarding now.

Democrats should be doing what Republicans would be doing if the situation was reversed: stand up and demand an apology. Throw a fit, demand a vote on a resolution condemning this.

Do I need to write this for the spineless Democrats?

"There is nothing funny about attacks against the government of this country. There is nothing funny about the death, injury and destruction that happened in Texas. Intentionally flying an airplane into a government building is terrorism. Mr. Babbin and his fellow conservatives should apologize to the families of those affected and condemn this attack."

You'd think CPAC would be more sensitive about one of their board members.

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE CONSERVALIGIOUS RETHUGLICANS AND CONDONING ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM? You have one a STATE GOVERNOR no less, calling for acts of violence against the UNITED STATES and you have OTHERS CALLING FOR WORSE, It is time to put these mad dog CONSERVALIGIOUS RETHUGLICANS down, they are calling for and promoting acts of terrorism and violence as if it is OK to do so, this is incitement and not free or political speech, they want to provoke and motivate violence as a means to an end and it is NOT OK, it is in fact the way they are so blase' about this that shows (when it comes to the UNITED STATES and the compact of the US CONSTITUTION) they are nothing more than SANCTIMONIOUS and TREASONOUS BASTARDS & (to be PC) BITCHES.

Does this mean that other Republicans may have to pay more taxes to replace the IRS building?

Norquist wanted to drown the government, Stack tried to immolate it. Two peas from the same GOP pod.

"And, for my next joke, I'll need a puppy to drown..."

They are just being who they are, sociopaths.

A beautiful Repugnican woman behaving beautifully.

Terminally self absorbed, irredeemably unempathic and incomprehensibly tone deaf. These are the elements of the true republican purity test.

Babbin should change the name of the rag he edits to Inhuman Events. What an insensitive, inane remark.

Do you really have to say alleged perpetrator when the guy's body is in the wreckage and he has left a demented suicide note? Or do we need to get O.J. a furlough so he can find the real perpetrator?

Beware the Lone Wolf, where have I heard this?

Again, "the vast liberal media" allowing this type of story to die. Nor asking any real insightful questions such as: Why isn't Stack considered a terrorist? Or that these and other recent events such as armed men at political rallies aren't considered terrorist. However anyone with a non-anglo name or has a slight pigment to their skin that is the first thing the media jumps on. How different this story would be and how much coverage it would get if this was a non-white.

I too was quite surprised by his willingness to place blame at the foot of corporations whose greed and influence peddling as key components of his own and the US's downfall. Conservatives overwhelmingly believe in the ability of the marketplace to lead us toward the best solutions to a given social problem. So his attack on business suggests he may not fit into the conservative mold as cleanly as I thought upon first hearing of his crash. Indeed there was a surprising number of grievances he had that echoed the things that I and many other left-liberal sorts came to identify as corrosive influences in a society.

In any case, that conservatives are much more fearful of hidden threats, more hostile and willing to do great harm to people they see as existing on societies margins (drug addicts, homosexuals, blacks, Mexicans...Jews during the last century)is a debate that was settled decades ago as well. Outside the sociological circles long familiar with Adorno thru Altemeyer's empirical findings revealing who it is that is most disposed to using terrorism to gain political ends (conservatives). Ironically enough, the news media they believe is left biased happens to also be the one that refrains from mentioning such findings due a fear of alienating a substantial portion of the buying public. This allows a dysfunctional personality "quirk" to pose as a well-thought out ideological choice they may have made rather than their being identified as the dysfunctional individuals they really are. They are the result of what happens when we fail to fully pass out of the highly authoritarian worldview we all have as small children dependent on adults for everything.

Some quotes typical of our understanding of of the RWA-SDO "embrace": "Conservatism is not the doctrine of the intellectual elite or of the more intelligent segments of the population, but the reverse. By every measure available to us, conservative beliefs are found most frequently among the uninformed, the poorly educated, and the less intelligent" (p. 38).

"It appears that conservatism has pathological dimensions manifested in violence and distorted psycho-sexual development" (Boshier, 1983, p. 159). This is supported by a study conducted by Walker, Rowe, and Quincey (1993) in which there was a direct correlation between authoritarianism and sexually aggressive behavior. An investigation done by Muehlenhard (1988) revealed that rape justification and aggression toward subordinate individuals was much higher in traditional (conservative personality) than non-traditional personalities. It is postulated in this paper that the offender has a conservative personality and, therefore, manifests that violence." http://www.doc.state.ok.us/offenders/ocjrc/95/950725C.htm

Since when is intentionally flying an airplane into a building because of your ideology not terrorism?
