"A Republican congresswoman says we have more to fear from Democratic plans than from "any terrorist" Video"

No really she did say that. Yeah, I know.

If she's speaking of people of her persuasion, perhaps she's correct.

Finally, a republican puts the real threat of terrorism in proper perspective. Government is the greatest threat to freedom and "our way of life".

Untrue. Corporations are the greatest threat to freedom and "our way of life". Government ranks, but well, well below corporations.

Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., has never been known for being a moderate, or for holding her tongue. (As my friend Steve Benen <A href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2009_11/020760.php">observes</A>, "She's a deather, a tenther, and [she] recently boasted, 'There are no Americans who don't have healthcare.'")</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2009/11/02/foxx/index.html"><P>But Foxx's latest comments, delivered on the floor of the House Monday, rose to a whole other level.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2009/11/02/foxx/index.html"><P>Everywhere I go in my district, people tell me they are frightened .... I share that fear, and I believe they should be fearful," Foxx said. "And I believe the greatest fear that we all should have to our freedom comes from this room — this very room — and what may happen later this week in terms of a tax increase bill masquerading as a health care bill. I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2009/11/02/foxx/index.html"><P>Video, via <A href="http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/02/foxx-health-care-terrorism/">Think Progress</A>, is below.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2009/11/02/foxx/index.html"><div align="center"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wii-d0NX3NY&hl=en&fs=1&" height="329" width="400" wmode="opaque" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/04E351B6-0E1F-4FC7-B5FD-8DAEB34BE6AF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
