US Rep. Paul Broun of Athens, Georgia, already infamous for comparing Obama to Hitler, and saying that climate change is a hoaxslammed the president to the ground in effigy during a public meeting.


“Let me start this by telling you what I think of this bill and (President) Obama,” he said, and slammed the binders on the ground.

“This is a stinking, rotten fish, and they don’t want you to smell it, and they want to shove it down your throat and make you eat it before you smell how rotten and stinky it is,” he said.


With participants picking up the tone of the congressman and claiming Obama wants old people to die, Broun intimated that Democrats want martial law in America.


He also spoke of a “socialistic elite” – Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid – who might use a pandemic disease or natural disaster as an excuse to declare martial law.

 

“They’re trying to develop an environment where they can take over,” he said. “We’ve seen that historically.”

 

One woman who disagreed with Broun was removed from the room, and then shouted down when she was let back in and tried to ask a question.


One woman attempted to ask a critical question about covering the uninsured while Broun was speaking, and Habersham County sheriff’s deputies briefly removed her from the room before allowing her back inside. When she rambled for a few seconds during the designated question-and-answer period, Broun politely asked her to respect the people waiting to speak, but members of the audience shouted, “Cut her mike.”
