The Incredible Stupidity of Rep. John Sullivan

Boston.com reports on the kind of rhetoric the good folks down in Oklahoma respond to. He apologized afterwards.

U.S. Rep. John Sullivan made the comments Wednesday during a town hall meeting in Bixby. When asked about federal spending, the Tulsa Republican expressed his frustration with the Senate for its failure to approve a budget.

“I’d love to get them to vote for it,’’ Sullivan said at the event. “Boy, I’d love that, you know. But other than me going over there with a gun and pointing it to their head and maybe killing a couple of `em, I don’t think they’re going to listen unless they get beat.’’

What do you think? Is that a minor issue, no harm done? Or is that a potential incitement to do murder?
