In the wake of the tragic shootings last night in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight showing of the new Batman movie, most politicians took time to denounce random acts of violence.
But not Louie Gohmert (R-TX) who used this insane incident to make yet another idiotic statement on the reasons behind the shooting by saying: "You know what really gets me, a Christian, is to see the ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs, and then some senseless crazy act of a derelict takes place."
"Some of us happen to believe that when our founders talked about guarding our virtue of freedom, that was important," he said on the show, "People say...where was God in all of this? We've threatened high school graduation participation's if they use God''s name, they're going to be jailed... I mean that kind of stuff. Where was God? What have we done with God? We don't want him around."
Gohmert also criticized why no one in the theater struck back.
"It does make me wonder, with all those people in the theater, was there nobody that was carrying a gun that could have stopped this guy more quickly?" he said.

Now ol' Louie G is no stranger to making asinine comments and this example further entrenches his position as one of of Congresses looniest members. it's a tight race for looniest Republican between Michelle Bachmann (R MN), Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Alan West (R-FL) & Joe Walsh (R-IL)...........any one of these certifiable morons can pop off an idiotic statement at any given time.
