Worse than ISIS: Alabama Democratic congressional candidate says GOP are bigger bullies than terrorist group.
By Jim Stinson | jstinson@al.com
Congressional candidate J.T. Smith of Phenix City is upset with the Republicans in Congress -- so much that he compared Republicans to the terrorist group, the Islamic State in Iraq and the the Levant, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
Smith, the Democratic nominee in Alabama's District 3, made the comparison on Labor Day, taking to Twitter to vent.
And Smith's timing will likely get his tweet more attention than it has already garnered on social media, as ISIL-ISIS reportedly beheaded a second American journalist on Tuesday. ISIS militants previously beheaded American journalist James Foley, on Aug. 19.
Smith wrote: "The greatest country on earth is being bullied from within. Actions of Republicans in congress are worse than #ISIL."
It wasn't the first potentially incendiary tweet from Smith, who faces U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Saks, in November.

They are everywhere.....
Unfortunately, the level of pure idiocy on all sides of the political spectrum continues to rise to dangerous levels. What should we call this? Globalpolitic Harming? Ciimate Derange? The Greed House Effect?
Ideally people that say and do stupid things would be forgotten and quickly, however, it seems like about half of them get elected on both sides of the aisle. Therein lies the perpetual problem. I can't tell if intelligent, reasonable people are no longer interested in political positions, or if they've decided to grab some popcorn and just watch the shitshow that is Washington from a safe distance. Either way, the people that vote for them made their bed, let them sleep in it.
I would love to find a whole list of stupid things elected officials have said(specifically republicans,) but will refrain as I am in a good mood and that's a petty argument. I'm sure we could go on and on about stupid things politicians of all affiliations have said.
