    Marijuana Leads to Death

    Marxist conspiracies and other wacko statements brought to you by Conservative Republicans.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1344572.html



    WASHINGTON -- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told a constituent in favor of legalizing marijuana that he doesn't support the idea because drugs like pot lead to death.

    In a Feb. 14 letter to his constituent, McConnell said he has "serious concerns" about legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes, a topic that the constituent had written to him about. He pointed out that the main ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol, is already available in pill form for the treatment of certain illnesses.

    He is also "troubled" by the fact that many legalization proposals would make marijuana available to the public "without following the scientific processes" of the Food and Drug Administration, McConnell said.

    McConnell then cites a medical marijuana bill introduced by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and raises concerns about what could happen if it became law -- death.

    "Because of the harm that substances like marijuana and other narcotics pose to our society, I have concerns about this legislation. The detrimental effects of drugs have been well documented: short-term memory loss, loss of core motor functions, heightened risk of lung disease, and even death," McConnell wrote.

    McConnell spokesman Don Stewart said McConnell was just making the case that drugs in general have detrimental effects.

    "Everyone from the Obama administration on down agrees that drug use has had serious consequences, including deaths. The letter makes that clear," Stewart said.

    The constituent who corresponded with McConnell posted the letter on a counterculture blog, grasscity.com, and wrote a response to what McConnell had to say:

    "Hi Blades, got a letter back from Mitch McConnell about legalizing marijuana. I'll let the letter speak for itself. WOWZA."

    That is a really stupid statement, but then again, it is from you (a rigid extreme left winger). Smoking a bowl has NOTHING to do with Marxist ideology.

    That you are wrong on. There are many Americans who can plainly see Obama's Marxist ideology. All one need do is look at the class warefare of "taxing the rich". That is clearly separating one group and pitting them against another. So sad you simply cannot admit it, embrace it, and own it. You'd be much more of a man if you stopped lying to yourself. Come out of the closet and be free -- even here in America, you can be a Marxist and enjoy the freedoms of our nation.

    CRUISE SHIP CONFESSION: Top Fox News Executive Admits Lying On-Air About Obama
    March 29, 2011 8:03 am ET by Eric Hananoki

    In newly uncovered audio, a Fox News executive boasts that he lied repeatedly during the closing days of the 2008 presidential campaign when he speculated on-air "about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism."

    Speaking in 2009 onboard a pricey Mediterranean cruise sponsored by a right-wing college, Fox Washington managing editor Bill Sammon described his attempts the previous year to link Obama to "socialism" as "mischievous speculation." Sammon, who is also a Fox News vice president, acknowledged that "privately" he had believed that the socialism allegation was "rather far-fetched."

    "Last year, candidate Barack Obama stood on a sidewalk in Toledo, Ohio, and first let it slip to Joe the Plumber that he wanted to quote, 'spread the wealth around,' " said Sammon. "At that time, I have to admit, that I went on TV on Fox News and publicly engaged in what I guess was some rather mischievous speculation about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism, a premise that privately I found rather far-fetched."
