Oh my! Two of Coeur d’Alene’s finest cheap-seat hecklers — Jeff Langford and Phil Membury — have voiced their outrage against my recent column that revealed the hypocrisy of Tea Party Supremacists. Both of these self-righteous hypocrites who have published and endorsed nothing but elitist hatred, are now trying to portray themselves as Christian gentlemen and innocent victims.

Mr. Langford, the same individual who recently wrote a disturbing column stating that you cannot be a true Christian if you are a Democrat, has now accused me publicly of being a Communist while belonging to the party that pioneered the road to Communist China with our jobs and industries. Then Phil “Dark Ages” Membury contributed to Mr. Langford’s Tea Party trash which ended up validating every point in my column.

Many Republicans love to condemn Democrats for abortions while denying the reality that many of their own girlfriends and wives are having them as well. These Republican women still have the nerve to vote for their own party that wants to end those rights — just as long as it is AFTER they got theirs!

The same goes for their ruthless self-righteous attitude toward our LGBT citizens. It is not until they discover that their own children (or themselves) are lesbian or gay, that the judgmental boomerang returns to crash upside their holy noggins. Then suddenly they become more “tolerant,” and then get attacked by one of these cheap shot critics for being a “RINO.”

I would suggest that you Republicans stop acting so offended and astonished when the rock you threw returns to shatter your own glass house, along with your hypocrisy and arrogant delusions.
