Paul Broun Shrugs Off Question About Shooting The President

This is over the top.

An audience member at a town hall hosted by Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) on Tuesday asked the Tea Party congressman who was going to shoot President Barack Obama.

The unidentified town hall attendee's question got a big laugh from the audience, reports Blake Aued of the Athens Banner-Herald.

But Broun didn't exactly condemn the remark, according to the newspaper report.

"The thing is, I know there's a lot of frustration with this president. We're going to have an election next year," Broun said in response to the question. "Hopefully, we'll elect somebody that's going to be a conservative, limited-government president that will take a smaller, who will sign a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare."

This is what happens when you get a lunatic Congressman, who tweets about "socialism" during the State of the Union. This is the chicken and the egg question: Is the district full of crazies because of an inflammatory Congressman, or is he inflammatory because his district is nuts? Who cares, he's way out of line here. Either way, he's part of the problem in DC.
