Yet another GOP politician unhinged
July 1st, 2009 by John Grooms in Boomer with an Attitude
Louisiana and South Carolina may share a reputation for producing wacked out, goofy, or just plain odd politicians, but those states have nothing on North Carolina. We’ve already introduced you to N.C. political weirdos like Congress members Sue Myrick, Patrick McHenry and Virginia Foxx, as well as N.C. House of Representatives Minority Leader Skip Stam. Ready for another one? Just when you thought you’d gotten used to conservatives turning into crybaby whiners who blame nearly everything on liberal conspiracies, along comes Hugh Webster to up the ante. Webster, a former state senator from Burlington, N.C., is on trial in Caswell County for allegedly using his power of attorney to embezzle money from an elderly aunt. The former state legislator, whose opposition to all things “lib’ul” earned him the Jesse-esque nickname “Senator No” in Raleigh, says he’s not to blame in the current criminal controversy. “They call me a defendant,” said Webster, “I’m a victim.” And you’ll never guess whom he blames for his troubles. It’s “leftists, liberals — the people who would try to rob us of our money and freedoms” who are the evil forces behind Webster’s embezzlement charges. As Betsy Muse of the progressive website BlueNC put it, “I’m not sure if former state senator Hugh Webster is insane or just bat shit crazy, but whatever it is, it is our fault.”

He does not look so crazy after you look at what liberals have done and are doing. Voting on massive bills without even reading them. Smearing Palin for wanting to have a state trooper fired for threatening the life of one of her family members and who tasered his own kid and was drunk on the job. With a history like that I need to hear more before I throw his side of the story out.
Where are the Democrat witch hunt article BTW? Only telling half the truth is why this mag does not do better.

Oh, Frank, so now you’re a media consultant too? Wow, gee, I guess there’s not *anything* you don’t know, huh? You’re my hero, Frank (retching sounds). Hey, I’m lovin’ the smackdown you’re getting on the healthcare column, BTW.

Speaking truth to the uninformed is what I do best and you are in dire need of my services. Why not contribute instead of trolling?

“Speaking truth to the uninformed”?! “Repeating conservative cliches while thinking I’m informed” is more like it. I’ve known a lot of overly confident people with an exaggerated sense of their own importance, Frank, but you take the cake, you pitiful, self-deluded putz.

I will repeat myself again since you continue to fail. Contribute something you little troll hehe. You fail to refute anything I say, even if it is a cliche according to you. Speak up and prove me wrong or go back and sit down in the peanut gallery where you belong.
Maggie Lenz is a perfect example of liberalism. All bluster and not a single idea that can stand up to close inspection. Since she cannot debate an issue she falls back on lame insults.
Just incase you havent figured it out when I say uninformed, I am talking about YOU.
