It is a sad fact of life that there exists many whose sole reason for
existence seems to as much as a blight on the enjoyment of life as they possibly
can. Narcissistic to the core and contemptuous of those they believe who are
beneath them (which just happens to be most ordinary folk), these bringers of
misery wreak havoc with people's lives whilst proclaiming their actions are "for
the greater good." As we all know though, that these actions hurt most people
except for those proposing such actions. RightWingPatriot.com offers up another
of these blowhards as the recipient of this week's Jerk of the Week.
Unlike in previous weeks, the Jerk of the Week this time around came out of
the gate strong and clinched the honors right away. I thought it would be a
monumental, but not impossible task, to dethrone this jerk by the week's end,
but nobody sunk low enough in human decency to wrest the honors from our chosen
jerk. Without further ado, the Jerk of the Week is Jim McDermott.
This week saw some fantastic, and disheartening, hearings in the House of
Representatives over the IRS scandal of the harassment and intimidation of
conservative groups. While many Democrats spinned for the IRS and the Obama
administration, one blowhard rose above the others, Representative Jim McDermott
from Washington. This progressive oaf lambasted the victims of the IRS
harassment and blamed them for it! He called their groups "highly political"
(unlike the progressive groups rubber-stamped by the IRS) and that they were
essentially asking for a tax audit.
This response from an elected official to represent American citizens is foul
and odious. The harassment that the individuals and group suffered went way
beyond a mere audit. People's lives and businesses were thrown into disarray and
livelihoods threatened, vote participation was suppressed, and the possibility
of jail time was called into play as that the IRS asked hypothetical questions
under the penalty of perjury. Answer a question wrong because your guess of
future conduct was off and you could find yourself in the federal pen!
Of course, Jim McDermott doesn't care about any of this. He is a darling of
the progressive agenda in America and doesn't give one iota to defending the US
Constitution. Why defend a document that is the basis of our republic when it
stands in the way of total big government? The fact that conservative groups
were targeted is the icing on the cake for McDermott. Blaming the conservative
groups for the government harassment is like blaming a woman for being raped
because she wore a mini-skirt. In other words, it's total crap. In fact,
following the actual law is an alien concept for McDermott. This piece of filth
was sued by John Boenher for illegally taping a telephone call and then leaking
that tape to the press. Boenher won and McDermott owes $1 million dollars for
his lawbreaking.
For not standing up for the Constitutional right of American citizens, for
showing utter disdain for those who dare to stand up against Emperor Obama and
the progressive agenda, and for blaming the entire situation on the innocent
victims, Jim McDermott is our Jerk of the Week.
