<\/a>The history of the Congressional Record is littered with incivil pronouncements against political enemies.<\/p>\n

We’ve had now indisbutably wrong-headed pronouncements — both gracious and not gracious — for the “Peculiar Institution” of slavery, for the KKK, and for Segregation.<\/p>\n

Strom Thurmond pissed into a bucket<\/a> in the Congressional Record.<\/p>\n

We’ve had members of one party accusing the President from the other party killing<\/a> people<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a record that demonstrates different constituencies’ concerns, warts and all, and the idiosyncracies of particular candidaates, and vicious dislike toward the members of the opposing party or opposing philosophy.<\/p>\n

Franklin D. Roosevelt, and particularly his vice president Henry Wallace, are tools of Communism. Pearl Harbor notwithstanding, we should not go to war. John F Kennedy’s daddy stole the election against Nixon*. Richard Nixon is a crook. All in the public record!<\/p>\n

So, with all that in mind:<\/p>\n

Why were Corrine Brown’s words strickened from the Congressional Record?<\/a><\/p>\n

Audio, video, and transcription found here<\/a>, disappeared as it is from the record.<\/p>\n

I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d’etat.<\/p>\n

We need to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Over and over again after the election when you stole the election, you came back here and said: ‘Get over it.”<\/p>\n

No, we’re not going to get over it. And we want verification from the world.<\/i><\/p>\n

* Okay, I don’t know for sure if that one is in there. But, I must say, if it isn’t I would be supremely disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
