NH GOP Senator Says The Disabled and Mentally Ill Are ‘Defective People’ That Should Be Shipped Off To Siberia

[JohnSmith2007 353]

But will you do this?

I don't, nor have I ever changed a title of a story I posted just to point out the party of the subject. I don't paint all the left as socialists or comunists. Others may, and when they do I disagree or stay out of it. Steven however makes it a common practice to paint everything with a broad brush. He is the worst offender on this board and is just as bad as those that throw the "socialist" tag at everything dem.

Excellent. I hope to see an even-handed approach to admonishing extremist lunacy on any side.

As for grading things on a scale, I would prefer to have an enough information to make that kind of a statement, because otherwise, its only an opinion that is perhaps the result of purposeful commentary.

A community health program manager got a surprise when she e-mailed her NH Senator recently to ask him about why he had voted to cut money from mental health programs. The Senator told her that society would be better without disabled people, and he wishes he could ship disabled people to Siberia.

Via the Concord Monitor;

Barrington Republican Martin Harty told Sharon Omand, a Strafford resident who manages a community mental health program, that "the world is too populated" and there are "too many defective people," according to an e-mail account of the conversation by Omand. Asked what he meant, she said Harty clarified, "You know the mentally ill, the retarded, people with physical disabilities and drug addictions – the defective people society would be better off without."

Harty confirmed to the Monitor that he made the comments to Omand. Harty told the Monitor the world population has increased dramatically, and "it's a very dangerous situation if it doubles again." Asked about people who are mentally ill, he asked, apparently referring to a lack of financial resources, "Can we afford to bring them through?"

Harty said nature has a way of "getting rid of stupid people," and "now we're saving everyone who gets born."

Harty's conversation with Omand became public at a hearing on the state budget yesterday when Laurie McCray, a registered nurse and board member of the Disability Rights Center, read Omand's account to the House Finance Committee. Afterward, McCray said she wanted people to know about the representative – whom she did not identify publicly – because he "didn't deserve to represent people in New Hampshire."

In an interview and in an e-mail Omand sent to her friends, Omand said she called Harty, who represents her district, to tell him her concerns about the House Finance Committee's proposed cuts to mental health services. Omand said Harty said he disagreed with her and made the comments about eugenics.

Omand says Harty then stated, "I wish we had a Siberia so we could ship them all off to freeze to death and die and clean up the population."

I wouldn't be surprised if the GOP has already started setting up "camps" in order to gas these defective people. The GOP is probably searching South America with a fine tooth brush for Dr. Mengele to see if he's in any kind of shape to run these camps.

Well the environmentalists tell us that the world has too many people. Who should we kill first?

I am always at a loss to explain the purpose of repeating nonsense. Are conseravtives or Republicans supposed to say they are sorry for what this guy said? I'm not. I didn't say it.

[JohnSmith2007 353]

I guess from now on all loony left wing nuts now represents all of the democrat party, hmm?? It seems I found someone worse than Steven. Congats.

I already know your kidding AJ. Nice try though.

While what he said was mean, that'd be OK if he was not a politician. He is. So I hope these words will end political career of Senator Harty. And the more people know about what he said, the better chance

Barrington Republican Martin Harty

If this is true then he does deserve the Nazi reference. Very dumb thing to say. However, why the reference to his party? Is this some sort of an attempt to paint all GOP the same way? Typical Steven tactic.

Well, well. If you do the same things in regards to unions then it's alright. Interesting.

[Bad_Daddy 2,209]

Gotta love the GOP. Abolish Soc Sec, abolish the unions, abolish the middle class, abolish the mentally ill, but whatever you do...don't even think of cutting the defense budget.

I can see now why Sarah Palin is a Republican.

With unions it is true though.

Not that it makes this any better, but he's not our state senator that we send to DC, hes a local senator to our NH government... both NH Senators are female (and not complete dumbasses)

While movies like "Gattaca" might be science-fiction, the actual 'science' in the movie is becoming science-reality.
