Baird Blasted at Town Hall By Marine Vet

Interesting to note that this exchange is only now surfacing. Little or nothing was mentioned in mainstream media reports about the town hall regarding this impassioned veteran taking Baird to task…

Baird Plunges to New Depths

Southwest Washington Congressman Brian Baird just doesn’t get it.

After finally apologizing for outrageous remarks he made last week about opponents of ObamaCare, and agreeing to schedule town halls to hear from constituents, Baird reverted to the rhetorical equivalence of inserting both feet into his mouth.

At a lunch meeting of the Vancouver Rotary, several sources confirm that Baird cracked: “If there’s a Ryder truck parked outside, it’s probably for me.”  That’s obviously a thinly veiled reference to domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh, to whom Baird infamously compared constituents that disagree with him last week.

(You can read the rambling letter online here.)

Let’s recap: if you are like me, you were probably absolutely shocked by Baird’s outlandish “Brown Shirts,” “lynch mobs,” and “Timothy McVeigh” comments last week.  But as recently as yesterday, he was still driving down that path hard: labeling opponents of ObamaCare “un-American.”  The former college professor should know better.
