Quist: Defeating liberals a bigger battle than defeating terrorism
Allen Quist, a Republican who is seeking to defeat Rep. Tim Walz in southern Minnesota's First Congressional District, told attendees of the Wabasha County Republicans Christmas Party in mid-December that beating the "radical" liberals in Washington, D.C., is a bigger battle than beating terrorism.
"Our country is being destroyed. Every generation has had to fight the fight for freedom... Terrorism? Yes. That's not the big battle," he said. "The big battle is in D.C. with the radicals. They aren't liberals. They are radicals. Obama, Pelosi, Walz: They're not liberals, they're radicals. They are destroying our country."
Quist also railed against the health care reform bill. "This is the most insidious, evil piece of legislation I have ever seen in my life... Every one of us has to be totally committed to killing this travesty... I have to kill this bill."
Quist, who has a background as a religious right figure, has been working to align himself with the Tea Party movement.

Allen Quist redux
Oh, puhleeze! This man is using the Michele Bachmann playbook, and he's not even cute as a button. As for the notion of Tim Walz being a radical terrorist, I laugh in total disbelief. Bwahahahaha. Nation! Do not let your babies grow up to be fear-mongers!
