Republicans Are "America Taliban" In Their Own Words

This is how Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, describes House Republicans:
"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban," Sessions said during a meeting yesterday with Hotline editors. "And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with."
He added that if Democrats don't give the minority party more "options or opportunities," Republicans "will then become an insurgency."

Asked to clarify, Sessions said he wasn't drawing a direct connection between the GOP and the Taliban. "I simply said one can see that there's a model out there for insurgency," Sessions explained.

How could you NOT draw a connection, he used the word "Taliban". He could have said "theocratic loonies" to describe the GOP insurgency, he chose Taliban.

How long before the Republicans all grow beards and ban kite flying?

When the MSM reports, over and over for days, that Senator Sessions "Supports Taliban tactics against American policies", I'll believe in a liberal press. Just think if a Democrat said this: what would Drudge, Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly be saying?
