Inhofe: The ‘Middle Eastern mentality’ is ‘worse’ than Nazism.

[cynatnite]

Since President Obama took office, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) has emerged as one of the leading congressional voices opposing the closure of Guantanamo Bay. Yesterday, Inhofe discussed the issue on the G. Gordon Liddy Show, saying the U.S. needs to “keep the Gitmo open.” Inhofe said the “Middle Eastern mentality” of the detainees is more dangerous than that of Nazis:

LIDDY: Well, you know, that’s as if we had a hundred or fifty hardcore Nazi rotten…SS prisoners and instead of, you know, sending them back to Germany at the end of the war, we just turned them loose in the American communities. I mean, it doesn’t make any sense.

INHOFE: Well, this is a little worse than that, I think, because you’re dealing with the Middle Eastern mentality. And terrorists, you know, they don’t care about dying.

10. Guess who's been skipping his meds again?

Inhofe is the poster child for severe mental illness - and not "fun crazy" either.

Do his constituents not realize he is representing them in every word and deed? That people assume his constituents - since they sent this Bozo to DC - are as willfully ignorant, nationalistic, cruel and racist as he proves himself to be at every opportunity?
