Taking bets: How long ’til Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson cries “RAAAACISM?”
Oh, dear. Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson apparently believes Guam is going to “tip over” from overpopulation and “capsize.” Snort-inducing moment: The response from Adm. Robert Willard, commander of the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, who pauses ever so slightly before politely informing Johnson that “we don’t anticipate that.”
Instant classic:
Taking bets: How long before race hustler Rep. Johnson cries “RAAACISM!” to deflect questions about his sanity and mental fitness for office?

The Admiral is a better man than I. My response would have been more along the lines of, “WTF did you just say? Seriously? You have got to be sh#$%ing me. And I am supposed to answer to idiots like you? Unblievable.”
So flustered I can’t manage to type straight while laughing at the idiocy of our “leaders”. “Unblievable” = “Unbelievable”.
That video reminds me of a day a few years back, when I tuned into C-SPAN to watch Robert Byrd questioning General Hugh Shelton.
Byrd must’ve been off his meds; he was rambling, trembling and so incoherent that anyone thinking he must’ve escaped from the old folks’ home would’ve been perfectly reasonable in that assessment.
General Shelton was all class throughout, but you could tell from looking at the expression in his eyes that he was equally dismayed and saddened by the whole affair, like he wanted to get out of his seat and help walk the befuddled old coot back to bed.
At least the Klansman had old age and senility as an excuse. I don’t know what Johnson’s rationalization might be.
I wonder if this guy is working on a bill to tax “the rich” for emergency funds, in case Manhattan Island turns upside down…under the weight.
And yet – he gets to vote on trillions of dollars of our money. I know, I know, we’ll get it back on the volume….
Something tells me this is the guy that other Congressmen send out to bring back a bucket of prop wash, or a spool of flight line, …
Close. According to Encarta:
Of course, the esteemed gentleman *cough* (or one of his staffers) could have done as b-cat suggested, looked it up ahead of time and had it right in front of him, whether on paper or computer screen.
I’m resisting the urge to say something sarcastic about this sorry situation (I’ve typed and then deleted several such comments). As others have said, the Admiral showed great restraint, and courtesy toward the congressman.
I’m also trying to feel some pity for the man, who obviously needs to be elsewhere, for the sake of his own health.
But at the same time, it is appalling to realize that such is the mental capacity – for whatever reason – of someone who has the duty to vote on matters that will affect our nation and our very lives for generations.
God have mercy….
Obviously, the answer to overcrowding on the island is to develop some gadget that would scramble the navigational sense of the storks. If storks can’t find the island, the islanders can’t get babies.
But, the problem of world hunger could be solved if we can just get NASA to develop space cargo vehicles to shuttle shipments of cheese back from the Moon.

Thankfully, I’m just outside of this guy’s district. Unfortunately, the people in his district are about as dumb as he is.
“Actually Congresssman, we don’t have to worry about Guam capsizing, as we have already had the double-refracting gazapnators, and the turbo-incabulators installed.”
If he is so damaged by Hep C he should not be voting on in Congress—yes, I know dementia may be a Demoncrap requirement to serve. He voted yes for Obamacare,and I demand all his votes be repealed since 2009..or something.. due to brain damage and lack of mental control.
There are plenty of people wandering around with Hepatitis C (3.2 million,from the CDC, many of them voting Democrat!). An independent poll taken by me reveals that only one of the 3.2 million thinks islands tilt and capsize due to 8,000 US Marines and their families.
Infrastructure is not mentioned to the Admiral (who is very admirable in not cracking a smile), but width of island and impending doom from the weight of people is discussed. Yeah, yeah, he issued a statement otherwise to make it a metaphor, but the video yammering about the widest point tells you he is a buffoon.
I guess this is now the new teflon shield for politicians who think islands are capsizing: but,but, but, he has Hep C!
Instead of racist, this is Hep C protected! Hear, hear.

Let it be said, that the next rep to utter something stupid (3..2..1..), will be known to have “pulled a Johnson!”
His health?! His health?!
What about the health of our freakin’ nation!!! He needs to step down, but since he does not give a rats’ patooty about our nation, he will continue to serve his own selfish interests. This is what has my rump on fire. What say you?
And while you’re at it, get me a “bucket of blue steam!”
What’s the bucket of blue steam for, you ask? Why, to wash the “Sea Bats” off the fantail!
“On May 24, 2007, Johnson voted to cut funding for the Iraq War that did not include binding requirements of the Iraqi government and made no provisions for the redeployment of American armed forces from Iraq.”
Hates U.S. military….Check.
“In 2009, Johnson demanded censure of Rep. Joe Wilson’s “you lie” remark, arguing that the comment had an unseen racial undertone and that, if Wilson was not formally rebuked, “We will have people with white hoods running through the countryside again.” “
Is a race baiter….Check.
“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” Johnson said.
Is clinically insane….Check.
Yep, Hank Johnson meets the neccessary criteria to be a Democratic member of the U.S. Congress.
Can we call for drug testing of our elected officials?
Especially those overseeing the military — who, BTW, are liable for random drug-screening.
Wayfaring Stranger: FIFY
Ragman: You must have seen this video…

Rogue Cheddar:
Guam just sank below the waves.
+1 !!
Raaa-cist!
I mean seriously – if this is the best this country can do for representatives, we are well and truly f … ahh … doomed.
Agreed.
And, that is what the hearing was all about. Informing the Congress of the need for funding to meet the requirements necessary to make the move.
Raising the issue of racism and speculating that would be a response is a diversion. The conversation should be about supporting the military and providing the funding to make what needs to happen, happen.
Yep, there is often buffoonish inquisitions by our elected officials. Yes, they often grandstand and go on ‘witch hunts’.
I’d rather know if we are going to provide the funding for the ‘tip of the spear’ on our western front, otherwise known as Guam.
Has anyone suggested that there was racism? How often would you trust your broker who continues to speculate about what will happen in the market and continues to fail at their speculation?
Yes, the Congressman was clumsy and silly. OK, even buffoonish. I agree. And the issue remains, funding for the relocation and any suggestion that there is racism is speculation to solict emotion.
I support relocation and the funding should be provided. I’d even like to a base in northwest Australia. The Australians along with Guam have supported the US in every military operation since WW I.
Twisting and spinning this to racism is wrong.
I think the answer to the problem posed by the esteemed congressman is as follows:
Build a fence right down the middle of the island (across the 7 mile part or the 12 mile part doesn’t matter).
Then put half the people on one side of the fence and the other half on the other side.
This will prevent all the population from gathering on one side of the island and thus tipping it over.
I do not think this will be done however, as they have issues with building fences.
My above solution does not solve the problem of the island slowly sinking with the weight of too many people. It just segregates them to prevent the island tipping. Someone with much more intellect than myself will have to solve that problem. Maybe have everyone wear life jackets at all times.
Just trying to think out of the box here. I’m sure all the scientists involved with global warming can figure this one out. They should have plenty of time on their hands since the science is settled.
I also noticed in the video that the esteemed congressman is worried that too many people will also cause global warming issues on the island.
I say good dunk every now and again is a great way to cool off. Where’s the beach ball!
There should be at least a test for minimal intelligence before allowing morons like this to sit in congress.
I wonder how he voted on health care; Will he be in favor of Cap-n-Trade?
If someone asked him to co-sponsor a bill outlawing dihydrogen monoxide, how quickly would he jump at the opportunity?
Perhaps Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric will interview him sometime soon.
This guy Hank Johnson is a genius.
Watch his attention to details!
The width, and length of the Island already on the tip of his tongue.
Slightly math challenged, so he couldn’t compute the area.
So What?
His concern for the ecology of the Island is genuine!
His desire to know how many more people’s weight the Island can withstand before going TITANIC is sincere!
His demeanor truly resembles a serious think-tank type scholar.
If Harvard is still searching for someone to bestov the Honorary Doctorate Degree this year, search no more. Hank Johnson is the perfect candidate for such honor.
When the Congress is caught self-dipping with generous pay raises and perks, they always remind us that all that spending on the Representatives and Senators is to simply attract the Best and the Brightest.
Looking at Hank in Action, I am satisfied that our tax money is indeed spent wisely.
We are where we are today as an example of ignorance and sloth.
I saw this one on FOX news today right here in Afghanistan and could not believe my ears. The video shows this was not an attempt at humor and a little more checking is warranted to see if he really is that stupid.
BTW – I saw Giraldo Rivera at the Kabul International Airport yesterday and I almost mentioned to him that I am a Michelle Malkin fan but decided against it. He looked pretty tired and was trying to catch a few Zzzzs on a wooden bench in the international cafe. He was being tortured (as all of were for that matter) by loud Indian Pop music from one of the vendors. Deployed life is always a little inconvenient and poor Giraldo did not need me to remind him at that particular moment that Michelle Malkin is spot on and he is usually spot “left.”
Unbelievable.
Tip into the sea?!?
These people can not ask the salient questions.
They have no clue.
The square miles of territories are readily available from The World Book or Information on the web. The population per square mile is—- greater than or less than Detroit or East LA or East St. Louis or New York City, etc….
What is the point?
Major Ken #137, good thing you did not tell Geraldo unless you were wearing something waterproof (as he threatens to spit at MM’s good name).
God bless you all there keeping us safe.
Easter blessings from Florida.
Stay safe.
Would he even understand the concept?
The admiral should have just asked, “Was that a serious question, Sir?” That would have been priceless.
Isn’t it a fact that Guam is actually a giant floating watermelon?
The reality is that this clown is still twice as bright as Pelosi and that isn’t funny.
Can you believe how short he is in person or was he wearing those elevator black boots?
skipping through the posts here I’m sure it’s been pointed out what pointy lil head this idiot has, but let me reaffirm what has been said. If anyone ever questions what happened the once greatest country in the history of mankind all one needs to do is listen to rep.’s and senators like this clown and idiot Johnson, Madamemax Waters, Rip’em off Rangle, ooops I best throw in a dumbass whitey or I’ll be called a racist…how about Brain dead Waxman or that fool lacking gray matter, Grayson. from Florida
America, we can fix our country very easily just remove these dolts from office. My God they are stupid…doesn’t say much for the constituents either…now that is a problem since an awful lot are on entitlements.
