Paul Kanjorski (D, PA-11) and the Golden Rule.

(Via Camp of the Saints) He’s kind of alarmed that people might do unto him as Kanjorski did unto others*.

[Lou] Barletta said Kanjorski won’t hold town hall meetings because he is afraid of “nuts to hit me with a camera and ask stupid questions.”

“Kanjorski is the one who paid a man with a camera $10,000 to follow me and my family around for five months in 2008,” Barletta said. “Kanjorski’s campaign manager (Mitchell) admitted this in a Times Leader story in November 2008.”

Indeed, he did (more on that here).  Aside from the fact that it’s not the people holding the cameras that are doing the hitting, it’s very interesting that Paul Kanjorski seems so affronted that he might actually be held accountable for his votes.  Besides, the racist already freely spouts off on C-SPAN: why should he be so worried about video footage made by private citizens?

Paul Kanjorski (D, PA-11) is a racist fool.

As a title, it is perhaps unsubtle: but since he is going around saying things like this…

“We’re giving relief to people that I deal with in my office every day now unfortunately. But because of the longevity of this recession, these are people — and they’re not minorities and they’re not defective and they’re not all the things you’d like to insinuate that these programs are about — these are average, good American people,” Kanjorski states.

(Via Ed Driscoll, who has a good deal more of Kanjorski’s more… counterproductive… commentary.) …I don’t see why words should be minced. Or why Kanjorski needs to stay in the House past November; I’m fairly certain that Lou Barletta can be counted on to avoid insinuating that ‘minorities’ or ‘defectives’ don’t get to be ‘average, good American people.’

I mean, that’s just ignorant.

So why did you vote for the AIG payoffs, Rep Kanjorski (D, IN-11)? [Actually, PA-11]

[UPDATE] Yeah, let me fix this.
[UPDATE the second.] Not much to fix at all, really. Just a state and a readjustment of how much money he took off of PMA. Whew!
[UPDATE the third.] And hi, Instapundit readers. Never mind the first two updates; they were mostly to fix a snide aside that doesn’t affect the main point. My karmic backlash of the day, clearly.

You’re ever-so-angry about this, to be sure:

…but you voted for the debt bill that your fellow-Democrat Senator Dodd loaded down with a loophole permitting these payments. If you’re so concerned, why didn’t you actually do something about it at the time? After all, you voted against the first stimulus bill, which I believe didn’t have this provision in it; so wouldn’t it be more accurate to say that the version of the debt bill that did have AIG exemptions was more attractive to you?
