Rep. Steve King and Glenn Beck agree: Voting for health reform on Sunday is ‘an affront to God.’

With this morning’s release of the Congressional Budget Office’s reconciliation package score, the House appears ready to vote on health care reform this Sunday. Rep. Steve King (R-IA) — speaking with Fox News host Glenn Beck on his radio show this morning — said the timing of the vote is unholy. He warned that Democrats intend to “take away the liberty that we have right from God” on “the Sabbath, during Lent.” Beck agreed, calling the Sunday vote an “affront to God,” and something “our founders would have never” done “[o]ut of respect for God”:

KING: They intend to vote on the Sabbath, during Lent, to take away the liberty that we have right from God. [...]

BECK: You couldn’t have said it better. Here is a group of people that have so perverted our faith and our hope and our charity, that is a — this is an affront to God. And I honestly, I don’t think anybody is like, “yes, and now what we’ll do is we’ll vote on the Sabbath.” But I think it’s absolutely appropriate that these people are trying to put the nail in the coffin on our country on a Sunday — something our founders would have never, ever, ever done. Out of respect for God.

On Palm Sunday in 2005, the Republican-controlled Senate passed a controversial bill to allow a federal court to intervene in the case of Terri Schiavo. The House passed the same bill shortly after midnight on Monday morning.

These two idiots are seriously demented. Not as far gone as Bachmann, but few with more than a 24 hour pass from the nut house are. These two idiots a) don't know what the sabbath is, and b) are so clueless as to think this is some new thing.

I will say it again: These wingnuts don't know the meaning of the word "unprecedented" even though they use it every other sentence. They really ought to look it up, but that would involve actually cracking a book (you know, a dictionary) and learning something.

Glenn Beck hasn't learned anything since 9th grade. He's a high-school graduate wanna-be shock-jock. He knows being a DJ. He knows nothing of politics, history, law, or pretty much anything else. And he's managed to find a 'research staff' as ill-informed and (apparently) illiterate as he.

And he's the front-man for these wingnuts. And these wingnuts elected Steve King.
