    REPRESENTATIVE TOM RUKAVINA COMPARES DFL HOUSE MEMBER TO SADDAM HUSSEIN

    By Michael B. Brodkorb | April 26, 2007

    This is a video clip of Representative Tom Rukavina comparing Representative Tom Huntley to Saddam Hussein in today’s debate on a statewide smoking ban. Representative Phyllis Kahn stood up called Rukavina’s comparison “out of line.” Sorry for the poor video quality, but you get the point.

      What a jerk. And the worst apologizer ever.

      Hmmm…this one’s tough. I don’t know which is worse — the wrath of Kahn or the wrath of Rukavina.

      Remember that Drunk Tommy also attempted to smear Pat Anderson by calling her Osama Bin Laden

      Tommy Rukavina is a angry midget.

      At least a Mpls liberal is admitting the Saddamn wasn’t a nice guy. It beats the Michael Moore image of Saddamns Iraq….smiling kids out flying kits. This is a major step forward.

      I wonder if Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahn will lose her support in the extreme left wing for admitting that Saddam was a jihadist. Jihad, I remind you, is the way against the US. Against the US. Against. US.

      WOW….you know you are out of line when Rep. Kahn is calling you to task on something you said…I think Tommy might need to have a few more cocktails before he starts debating again.

      What a jerk.

      I assume you mean Kahn for taking advantage of one of her DFL collegues for her own camera time and political advantage.

      Top off this display of disharmony in the DFL with Tom Huntley saying that he would rather be called Saddam Hussein (or Adolf Hitler) than be called a republican…..and we really get a composite view of the real spirit and character of DFL leadership.

      Nincompoopism!

    13. Chet Says:

      So they’d rather be called mass murdering, Jew-hating, terrorist-supporting, woman-raping, anti-democratic dictators than to be counted among their fellow American but loyal opposition party.

      Clearly they do feel this way. And clearly it demonstrates just how empty and without character these people really are.

      Isn’t this the same guy who called State Auditor Pat Anderson, Osama bin Awada?

    15. jay Says:
      April 27th, 2007 at 6:44 pm

      Yes Tommie the Commie called Pat Anderson-Awada “Osama Bin Awada”.

      But he has the DFL endorsement and on “the Range” that is all you need to get elected.
