Justin Amash ripped into his opponent after a win. Will this behavior be tolerated in Congress? Is there ever an excuse for rudeness? Supposedly Amash’s base is millennial and they like telling it like it is in politics. I sure hope that is not the case. I am used to the civility of the old Senate.
I would never vote for anyone who acted this rude, even if I hated his opponent. His mother should get hold of him and take a switch to his backside.
It appears the remarks directed toward Amash and his family’s ethnicitywere very insensitive – family is off limits. But his responses are the kind of remarks that come back to haunt you.
Yes, in a world without filters, like the one we seem to be in now, it doesn’t surprise me that he was attacked. I agree with you about family being off limits. However, what he said negated it all. He could have stood on the high road but he chose to wallow with the hogs.
“His mother should get hold of him and take a switch to his backside”
That made me laugh, my grandparents raised me when I was young and my grandmothers go-to disciplinary tool was a switch. The good news was she at least let you pick your own switch…. the bad news was if you didn’t pick a good enough one she got to pick it. But it was never used for hitting on the backside, legs mostly. My grandfathers belt was reserved for the backside.
I agree Moon, the only thing worse than a poor loser is a poor winner.
Having said that… what do you think about this jackass? Talk about bad behavior in Congress, sheesh (fast forward to about the 2:00 minute mark): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzFRMWB2n6E
America did arguably release the most destructive force known to man, but we also were the most benevolent conquerors in history with Japan and Germany. Somewhat balances out, I’d say.
Other than with the South, I would agree with you.
