LOL. Freepers throwing Coburn under the bus for his Pelosi & FOX statements.

You think they'd cut a reliable right-winger like Coburn a little slack, but no.

Just a sampling:

"Another house RINO. Boy...what a surprise. Apparently Coburn isn’t concerned about the loss of his credibility."

"The real story here isn’t Coburn calling Pelosi “nice.” It’s his assertion that a woman on FNC who said “they can put us in prison” for not obtaining gov’t-approved health insurance under Obamacare is misinformed. She’s not, obviously. So either Coburn doesn’t know the contents of the bill or he’s lying about its contents."

"I liked Tom Coburn. Tom Coburn WAS one of the few in Congress that I had any respect for. Not anymore.... the man is a complete fool. I do not give a hoot what he ever says or does again, about anything, he’s toast with me."

"They have something on him. When does his self-imposed term limit reach its limit?"

1. If they keep moving to the right, how the hell to they expect to pick up seats this November?

2. I wonder if some of them are self conciously trying to carve out a new niche.

A sort of a "non-whacko" wing of the Republican party. Meghan McCain seems to be working on the same endeavor, as well, maybe, as David Frum. Coburn wasn't the sort that I would have figured for it, but maybe he sees an opportunity. I do know that many of them are more opportunist than ideologue.

There could end up being some interesing fireworks if the Repuke party really has some sort of formal split along whacko-non-whacko lines. The whackos of course will become absolutely rabid.

3. So he's being blackmailed into saying Pelosi is nice?

What a hoot! Maybe we can spread rumors that Boehner said Reid is handsome . . .

4. Man, they really hate Madam Speaker

Considering that Pelosi has spent three years attempting to do to my country what Hitler failed to do, I don’t care if she’s nice to her dog (if any dog would have her). She is not a good person. Her goals are evil, and her methods are evil. Socialism must be stopped, and she’s the leader of the drive toward socialism.

5. I remember when Coburn was a big right-wing hero, the future of the GOP. Now look at him. n/t
