Here is the thirtieth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s honoree is birther Randy Neugebaur (R-TX), infamous for yelling “Baby Killer” at Democrats on the House floor, apologizing publicly, and afterwards, bragging about it in a fundraising attempt to fleece sheeple. He is honored today for hypocrisy above and beyond the call of TEAbuggery!
Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Lubbock, got into a public spat with a National Parks Service employee Wednesday over who should have access to the World War II Memorial during the government shutdown.
Neugebauer was visiting the memorial Wednesday with a group of tourists, but was not allowed past police-imposed barriers. Earlier this week, police removed the barriers to allow World War II veterans into the memorial, which has sparked more controversy about keeping the monuments and museums open.
Neugebauer was caught on NBC Washington’s cameras fighting with the officer at the memorial, telling her she should be ashamed of not allowing people in the park.
“How do you look at them and…deny them access? I don’t get it,” the Republican Congressman said.
“It’s difficult,” the park service officer responded.
After saying the Parks Service should be ashamed of their actions of denying people access to the memorials, the officer said, “I’m not ashamed.”
“You should be,” Neugebauer is heard replying before walking away…

What a jerk! Chris Hayes covered his hypocrisy.

Kudos to the guy who put that two-faced SOB in his place, until his aide rushed in to save him and pulled him away. The one good thing here is that there is no way Republicans can deny owning him. His Texas village is missing its idiot, because fools elected him.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a formal complaint agianst Stormtrooper Neugebauer Friday morning with the Office of congressional Ethics requesting an investigation of him for "conduct that reflects discreditably upon the House".

NEVER vote for Republicans!
Dan, as I said on Care 2, I love all your adjectives!
Welcome Dan!
Do you think that might be a bit too complementary? 😉
Neugebauer is the one that should be ashamed, after all, he and the other Republicanus/Teabaggers are the ones that orchestrated the shutdown. To paraphrase Andy Borowitz “This park ranger is stubbornly refusing to end the crisis at this memorial that I helped to create.”
Love the 30 year federal worker's challenge. Not only does Boehner need a pacifier, so does Neugebauer! I wonder if Boehner will share the pacifiers he receives with the rest of the Republicanus/Teabagger caucus? There should be enough to go around!
Amen, Lynn!
This is typical Republican behavior. The rules are not for them, just the rest of us. I hope CREW gives him a report he deserves.

Rule: part of a code of conduct we demand everyone else follow strrictly, but that we are above following ourselves.
I usually don’t have time to check my own e-mail but I’m making the time now because I’m highly pissed off at Repukelican Neugebauer for his treatment of the park ranger. He personifies all that I find contemptible about our government. It’s reprehensible that a whining crybaby minority shuts down the government because it can’t get its own way. One Tea Party son of a bitch even felt ‘disrespected’, a fitting term because I have no respect at all for his lowlife kind. Government just doesn’t work for people the way it should. I could not have said it better than that ex-serviceman marching in Occupy Wall Street who said he had seen two tours in Iraq and only now found out who his real enemy was. I feel loyal to our original Constitution and Bill of Rights, the wilderness areas, Native Americans, and all those making a stand against the increasing tyranny of our society, but I am not at all loyal to the federal corporate-banking government. Rather, except for wonderful types like Elizabeth Warren and others, I feel betrayed by it. Hooray for Occupy Wall Street, WikiLeaks, Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, and all other whistleblowers who are revealing the true criminal activities of the federal government. And since this is probably being read by the NSA, this next part is for it and its boss, Gen. Keith Alexander: Fuck you and the NSA and the federal government. I have spoken.
James, I certawinly understand your anger and agree with most of what you said, but nott all.
Yet another horror in a whole catalogue of them – thanks TC for pointing out the difference in what they say at different times – and in front of different audiences!
