House Democrats took the fight to the Republicans on Friday when they rushed to the floor of the House to demand that the GOP get back to work and cut short a recess that will last till the end of January.
As James Clyburn demanded to know where the Republicans were at, the House Leadership cut the C-SPAN feed and shut off the microphones. This marks the second time that House Republicans have censored the Democrats in an effort to keep the American people from seeing what is happening on the House floor. As C-SPAN has noted, the House Speaker controls the cameras and microphones.
Here’s the video.
Apparently Republicans can’t be bothered to do their jobs. Most Americans are already back to work after the holiday season. Millions of Americans still don’t have jobs at all and are struggling day to day. Only Republican politicians don’t seem to let that interfere with their own over extended vacations.
This is inexcusable arrogance. ALL YOU GOP TARGETS TAKE NOTE:
Just because you CAN act like fascists, just because you ARE fascists, does NOT mean you have to ACT like fascists. Where do you order your jackboots, John Lobb? You WILL and DO remain accountable to the American PEOPLE (not the corporate pseudo-persons you hide behind.)
When you hide your dirty work, all it does is insure your defeat, and the ultimate demise of the Republican party. They party’s over, assholes; get a real job – AND a haircut, you look like blow-dry overweight Ken dolls miscegenating with Cabbage Patch kids….
This just burns my ass. So now Murdoch owns C-Span too? Why are there still idiots who want these crooks in office?
no however the speaker of the house has access to the feeds to cspan in his office
Why in the hell are these assholes allowed to shut off C-SPAN? That is a tactic you would expect of the KGB NOT THE DAMN FLAG WAVING REPUBS! That is the people’s House, not theirs! Vote their shitty asses out in 2012! No excuses!
Rupublicants need to be voted out…useless bunch…
Republicans need serious prison time for massive violations of their oath of office!!!!!!!!!!!
