Because this half wit is definitely one of them. It's rare you actually hear one of these lunatics express their supremacist bigotry so openly.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

There ought to be.

Apparently, the Greek word for insane is 'margos'.

'Kratos' means 'rule' as in democracy.

So, I suggest 'margocracy'.

This guy is obviously a Christian Zionist. 'Christian Zionism' by Stephen Sizer goes into the history in detail.

The mind boggles that these sorts of beliefs are still present in the C21st but there we are.

don't deserve to be associated with hacks like him, they have more than their fair share of problems to contend with already. He's not mad, he's an arsehole.

Agreed.

Code Pink are doing a very good job of exposing just what shit heads these congresspeope are; some of the thing people have said to them have been amazing but this was a new depth.

I must say that they're doing very well too, their encounters are getting people to give evidence that won't look good at Nuremberg.

“This isn’t about money” - never believe anything until it has been officially denied. Its about money and power.

The problem with this is that 'insane' is a legal term, not a medical one.

Psychiatrically, we are talking about 'rule by the personality-disordered'. Sadism, psychopathy and narcissism together make 'malignant narcissism': I have recently seen Trump described by a professor of psychology as 'the most perefct example I have ever set eyes on'. Same guy diagnoses narcissistic personality disorder in Obama too. The 'mental health challenges' of such individuals are as nothing compared to the damage they do when they take charge of something or someone. At the very least, they need to be filtered out of the political process.
