Johnson: Koch Bros control Congress, push Keystone

Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., protested today on the House floor that the libertarian Koch brothers "control Congress," arguing that the Republican push for President Obama to approve the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas is motivated by a desire to reward the Koch brothers for financing the Tea Party during the 2010 election.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Oregon Tea Party Reacts To Visions Of Hatred,Violence And Racism From Leftist Counter Protesters, April 18, 2011, PORTLAND, OR- In response to angry, violent and anti-American rhetoric by leftist extremists on Friday, Oregon Tea Party leadership asks all responsible political and civic leaders to join in condemning both the messages and their manner of expression. ∴ Oregon Tea Party members were particularly dismayed by the videos of actual counter protesters that have made national news, including the following links found at www.youtube.com: [viewer discretion advised]

"I Wipe My *** With the American Flag": The New Civility of the Left on Display

"Take Your Constitution and Shove It Up Your ***!"

“Silence is consent,” said John Kuzmanich, Oregon Tea Party PAC Chairman. “I can’t believe these videos have made it all over huge national websites like www.breitbart.tv, www.theblaze.com and www.redstate.com, but the local media are completely silent. This is nothing short of journalistic malpractice by The Oregonian and local television news.”

Jeff Reynolds, Chairman of the Multnomah County Republican Party, observed, “I found it very odd that the only interviews I did were KBOO and KEX. KATU had a news truck there, but it left before the event even began. KGW has a studio right there in the square, but they never showed up to report.”

Oregon Tea Party calls on Portland Mayor Sam Adams and Governor John Kitzhaber, and the Senate and House leadership of both parties, to join us in condemning and repudiating these messages. We also call on the local media to break their silence on the topic and condemn these messages on their editorial pages. Additionally, we call on the Chairs of the State Democrat and Republican Parties to issue public statements condemning such hate speech.
