Paul Gosar doesn’t like this talk of censure, not a tall a tall. He feels that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. So he’s been doing some research into other unjustly persecuted figures, specifically those who indulged in the harmless pastime of making cartoons and he believes he’s found the match.

Charlie Hebdo was a satirical magazine in Paris. Over a three day period in 2015, Al Queda killed 12 people and injured 11 others in retaliation for publishing cartoons they found insulting. And Gosar finds this an apt analogy to his situation, possible censure by the House? Seriously?
But maybe that’s Gosar’s dream. What happened next, is that the massacre became a cause celebre, understandably, where millions of people and more than 40 world leaders met in Paris for a rally of national unity, and 3.7 million people joined demonstrations across France. The phrase Je suis Charlie became a common slogan of support at rallies and on social media. The staff of Charlie Hebdo continued with the publication, and the following issue print ran 7.95 million copies in six languages, compared to its typical print run of 60,000 in only French.
So connect the dots. Maybe that’s what Gosar is hoping for, is to become the center of a publicity storm and a political movement. The question then becomes, is he batshit enough to kill somebody, let alone 12 somebodies? And to be honest, I’m wondering if the answer isn’t yes, because the man has become progressively more and more unhinged as the years have gone by.
That said, this is a little weird even for Paul Gosar, the poster child of weirdness.
I think he needs a thorough physical and mental evaluation, because he’s behaving like he’s out of his mind. (He also apparently calls AOC a immigrant – she was born in the Bronx.)
Just looking at him creeps me out. He looks evil and demented! Time for him to go!!!!
I have said for many years that anyone who wants to run for any elected office or be appointed to any position of power should have to pass physical and psychological testing by bipartisan panels of doctors and psychologists. If this had been done, we would never have had Traitor Tot, McTurtle, Marge Traitor Green, Boebert, and many more!
yepper
Imagine. A world without Republicans.
Yet another batsh*t crazy Republican. Tell me, are these guys in a race to see just how idiotic they can be and still hold elected office?
Every time I hear his name,I think of the first Ghostbusters. Does that make Ayn Rand Paul the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man?
I desperately need some comic relief,and Today isn’t funny.
Nice to know others also have the same Ghostbusters flashback. Unfortunately I always remember Dan Akroyd’s weak ass attempt to get rid of Goser the Gosarian. Ordering to cease and desist his destruction and return to his place of origin or the nearest convenient parallel dimension got the Ghostbusters a near fatal ass whupping. It was only through a radical, “There’s definately a very small chance that we might survive” action that all turned out ok. Now that I think about it, that last huge blob of marshmellow which I’m sure was a sophomoric attempt to suggest something a lot nastier dousing “No dick” Peck makes me smile. Sometimes when things turn out ok they are really ok!
perhaps someone needs to confront gosar with a proper sword…you know, just to make him shit himself.
His own family says he is unhinged and dangerous. We should heed their warning.
