Those so-called gunshots at the Capitol today? Know your enemy.

You know…the construction guys working?

The one that mobilized the entire anti-terrorist apparatus of Washigton DC? The alert that..believe it…had the DC public schools locked down?

Just in case…

Here’s the full story.

Washington Times

The call reporting the gunshots was placed at about 10:30 a.m. from the office of Rep. H. James Saxton, New Jersey Republican who is chairman of the House Armed Services Committee’s Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee.
    Greg Keeley, a spokesman for Mr. Saxton, said the congressman heard the sounds while he was in the garage yesterday morning.
    “Mr. Saxton was trying to grab something out of his car. He heard … between six and 10 loud, sharp cracks, which he identified as being potential gunfire,” Mr. Keeley said. “He immediately returned to the office and [his] staff informed Capitol Police of what the congressman had heard.”
    Mr. Keeley said the congressman “has been around firearms an awful lot” and “knows what a gunshot sounds like.”

It was  a report by a dedicated chickenhawk Congressman, who if he HAS been around firearms a lot certainly didn’t do it in the military, according to his nasty little bio in Wikipedia.

Read on:

Hugh James “Jim” Saxton (born January 22, 1943), American politician, has been a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives since 1984, representing the Third Congressional District of New Jersey since 1993 (map), after the district replaced the Thirteenth District due to reapportionment.

Born in Nicholson, Pennsylvania, he attended East Stroudsburg State College (now East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania) and Temple University, then pursued a career as an elementary school teacher and small business owner. Saxton served in the New Jersey General Assembly (the lower chamber of the New Jersey Legislature) from 1976 to 1981 and again in the General Assembly from 1982 to 1984, when he was elected to the House to fill a vacancy caused by the death of 13th District Congressman Edwin B. Forsythe. He is a member of the Armed Services Committee and the Resources Committee and Vice-Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee.

In the US House election, 2006, Saxton is being challenged by Democrat Richard Sexton. Recently Saxton donated to charity thousands of dollars in campaign contributions made by lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

On May 26, 2006, Saxton was the source of an erroneous report of gunfire in the Rayburn House Office Building that led to the building being shut down for several hours, after he mistook construction sounds in the garage for gunfire.

Political Positions

Saxton is strongly conservative. He has voted to ban abortion, stem cell research, and gay marriage; he’s additionally voted against campaign finance reform, gun control and gay adoption. He supports free trade and voted for CAFTA, the Flag Desecration Amendment, and supports aggressive foreign policy, having voted for the Iraq War Resolution in 2003. He supports the privatization of social security and school vouchers, as well as ending the Department of Education.

I wonder how he comes by his gunshot recognition skills. Killing unarmed deer, more than likely.

These are the shits that are approving this war.

Know your enemy.

The underlings, the PermaGov gofers.

He was an elementary school teacher for three years…take a good look at his face and think what hell of boredom and sappiness the kids had to endure…and then became that new breed of used car salesman, a real estate agent. Jim Saxton Realty. I can smell it now.

The banality of evil.

And here he is fighting for what’s right.

And ALWAYS wrong.

If we cannot take these fools down…we do not DESERVE to survive.

VAYA!!!
