Rep. Louie Gohmert: Obama ’57 States’ Gaffe Hints At Loyalty To Islamic States

video
» 147 comments

Rep. Louie Gohmert has made a splash or two during his tenure in Congress, between his “terror babies” claims to questionable Nazi references on the House floor to, well, this. Last week he was at it again, this time noting that there were 57 members in the Organization of the Islamic Conference, suspiciously the same number of states President Obama had claimed existed, and that American public officials took their oaths “in this body… not to the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The conflated message fails to make any direct links or accusations, but the implication is rather clear. “Perhaps there was some confusion whether he’d been to all 57 Islamic states as opposed to all 50 U.S. states,” Rep. Gohmert noted, adding immediately that the President’s “obligation” was to America, “not the 57 Muslim, Islamic states.” Additionally, he reminds his colleagues that their obligations are “not to the Muslim Brotherhood, who may very well take over Egypt”:

And I know the President made the mistake one day of saying he had visited all 57 states, and I’m well aware that there are not 57 states in this country, although there are 57 members of OIC, the Islamic states in the world. Perhaps there was some confusion whether he’d been to all 57 Islamic states as opposed to all 50 U.S. states. But nonetheless, we have an obligation to the 50 American states, not the 57 Muslim, Islamic states. Our oath we took is in this body, in this House. And it’s to the people of America. And it’s not to the Muslim Brotherhood, who may very well take over Egypt and once they do, they are bent upon setting up a caliphate around the world, including the United States. And this administration will have been complicit in helping people who want to destroy our country out of the ignorance to think, if you help your enemies, they’re going to like you better.

Where the “57 states” gaffe comes into play in this monologue on foreign involvement in the Middle East is somewhat unclear, other than to suggest that the President may have mistakenly believed he swore an oath to Islamic and not American states. Given the history of the President being oddly linked to Islam, at the very least this floor speech certainly sounds somewhat inappropriate.

    No one has ever heard of Louis Gohmert. But if he says something that allows the left to score cheap gotcha points, he gets big time news coverage.

    Of course, if Louis Gohmert had called for a reduction in the deficit more accountable government, he would get no coverage in the media. Because in that situation he would be dealing with IMPORTANT REAL ISSUES, and the mainstream media doesn’t like to give coverage to those things.

    Rep. Louie Gohmert has a very good point, I never thought of it actually.

    FYI: Frances Martel, I personally do not think you should refer to Gohmert’s comment as being “somewhat inappropriate.”, particularly since you have NEVER criticized the comments of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee or former Rep. Alan Grayson who have both made much worse comments on the floor of the house countless number of times.

    Finally, Obama is not “oddly linked to Islam”, he is “directly linked” to Islam and has sympathy/support for the Islamic religion more than the religion(Christianity) he is purported to believe in. One does not wake up overnight and discover the name Hussein written in his passport. Maybe you should put up his family tree and let the viewers be the judge.

    What I find most outrageous is Obama still insists that there are 57 states.

    He points to the original colonies and recognizes 7 distinct areas as separate states that do in fact bring the total of the United States to 57.

    @ Frances Martel – Mediaite Staff

    I forgot to add that a Journalist should not refer to someone as “oddly linked to Islam” if the only two fathers he ever had on Earth were Muslims:

    Barack Obama, Sr. – Biological father
    Lolo Soetoro – Father by adoption

    Furthermore, his grandfathers(from both fathers) that includes Hussein Onyango Obama (1895-1979), were both Muslims, and so were their own ancestors.Obama comes from a predominantly Muslim family; you can read excerpts from documents found in the Oxford Journals Online http://www.oxfordjournals.org/

    “linked to Islam” – YES
    “oddly linked to Islam” – NO

    Thanks for reading

    Given the history of the President being oddly linked to Islam

    Here’s some more of those “odd” links Obama has to Islam:

    1. Father born a Muslim.
    2. Muslim direct relatives.
    3. Muslim name.
    4. Childhood living in Muslim nation.
    5. Attending a Muslim grade school in a Muslim nation.
    6. Muslim stepfather.
    7. Idolized Nation of Islam member Malcolm X
    8. Said he would “stand with them” (muslims) on page 261 of “Audacity of Hope”.
    9. Friends with members of the PLO, an organization of Muslims who committed acts of terrorism.
    10. Traveled to Pakistan during summer break from college with his Muslim room mate.
    11. Can recite the Muslim call to prayer with a “first-rate accent”.
    12. Called the Muslim call to prayer “one of the prettiest sounds on earth at sunset,”.
    13. Within months of taking office, made traveling to Muslim nations a top priority.
    14. Within months of taking office traveled to Turkey to give a speech and visit the most famous mosque there.
    15. Within months in Office, traveled to Egypt to give a speech at one of the worlds oldest Muslim universities.
    16. Traveled to Indonesia and toured that nation’s most famous mosque.
    17. Sides with the Muslim Brotherhood over pro-American ally Mubarak in Egypt.
    18. Sides with Palestinians, including HAMAS terrorist organization over American ally Israel.
    19. Personal friends involved in attempting to break Israeli blockade of HAMAS terrorist organization.

    @ Frances Martel – Mediaite Staff

    First thanks for responding, I am even glad you posted links to the articles where you addressed former Rep. Alan Grayson; at least the readers here can actually refer to all these articles above and judge for themselves. I am convinced that none will find(as I did not) any instance where you ever implied that Grayson’s comment somewhat INAPPROPRIATE.

    One of such articles came close to an outright criticisms of Grayson’s statements, but in your own words you even referred to Alan Grayson’s description of a peaceful, pro-American rally as a Klan meeting, as “just amusing noise”.

    To be fair, in the full context you wrote:

    “Good thing this is Rep. Alan Grayson describing a peaceful, pro-American rally as a Klan meeting, otherwise it would be a completely unacceptable, wholly offensive statement worthy of significant outrage. Instead, it’s just amusing noise.”

    Anyway, thanks Frances for your time in spite of your busy schedule.

    You made quite a good point: “It’s like the cliche of saying your old girlfriend’s name while doing your current girlfriend.”

    If you read about Obama’s background/history/upbringing, you can make the argument that he always seemed to have more sympathy/support, or rather “deep feelings” for the 57 member States of the OIC; so perhaps his campaign gaffe seemed to highlight this fact.

    Has anyone ever thought of the fact that Obama’s gaffe would make more sense if he had stated that the US has 49, 51, or maybe 54 states, i.e. assuming we decided to apply logic into his gaffe, because of the the 4 unincorporated US territories(Guam,Northern Mariana Islands,Puerto Rico,United States Virgin Islands).

    But however, jumping all the way to 57 states seem to indicate that there was some significance to the figure 57, apparently playing around deep inside his mind; to the extent of him outrightly stating that he had been to the US’s “57 states”.

    If my father’s name were Anthony, and I made a huge mistake of saying it is Edward, there should obviously be a logical explanation for having that name(Edward) fall out from my lips. Maybe I might have a close friend or associate called Edward whom I just finished thinking/talking about or discussing with?

    As a matter of fact I would like an explanation as to how the figure 57 sates could have fallen out from Obama’s mouth, when in fact he was supposedly addressing the 50 states of the United States of America.

    He said, “We’ve been in every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in fifty… seven states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii I was not allowed to go to.”

    Seems to me like he was talking about the continental states and meant to say 47, not 57. 47 and one left to go would be all 48 contiguous states, and he immediately excluded the two non-contiguous states.

    Now, he’s either a puppet serving the Islamo-fascists seeking a global caliphate to subjugate all Americans to sharia law, or he said fifty when he meant forty.

    But you never know… like I just pointed out, 47 is a prime number! Someone get Dan Brown on line 1!

    But however, jumping all the way to 57 states seem to indicate that there was some significance to the figure 57, apparently playing around deep inside his mind; to the extent of him outrightly stating that he had been to the US’s “57 states”.

    If my father’s name were Anthony, and I made a huge mistake of saying it is Edward, there should obviously be a logical explanation for having that name(Edward) fall out from my lips. Maybe I might have a close friend or associate called Edward whom I just finished thinking/talking about or discussing with?

    As a matter of fact I would like an explanation as to how the figure 57 sates could have fallen out from Obama’s mouth, when in fact he was supposedly addressing the 50 states of the United States of America.

    he misspoke as he was saying he had visited 47 states and said 57 instead

  • Arthur (Not a Political Comic)

    It’s fascinating that here’s an example of ideology and how it distorts the truth to the point you can recognize it. So, there are two theories here. He’s a muslim who meant 57 Islamic states. Or, he meant to say 47 and said 57. Now, the logic and reason for the Muslim side is that it was a Freudian slip and that he was thinking about the Islamic states clearly. So they dismiss the other theory. Now, when you first think of the states, you tend to think 50. It’s probably the first number that pops into your head. Try it. Go up to someone and ask what number pops into their head when you say states. Or reverse it. Ask what is the first word that comes into your head when you say the number 50. Probably states. Thus, the very thing that the one side says is their “proof” that he was thinking Muslim states doesn’t see that the logical and reasonable course to take was that he thought of the number 50 first since that’s the first number you think of when you think states. Yet, the same logic and reason that they used to prove the 57 Islamic states is wrong when applied to the idea that 50 would pop into someone’s head first. Now, using Occam’s razor as a way to figure out the logical conclusion (again, I’m using actual logic principles and not just saying Logic and Reason to justify where I’m going with this.), the theory that uses the fewest assumptions will most likely stand out as the correct one. In this case, one (American thought Fifty first when thinking about states) to, well, one guy had it up to 19 (He’s a secret Muslim and here’s why) then the one would win out using all logic and reason. (People tend to forget that logic is more than a word, it actually follows very strict rules for proof. Like irony, it is probably one of the most misused words in the English language. If you don’t think it follows strict rules, then you should look up and see the laundry list of logical fallacies and then see how many actually show up in every single argument on this site.) Now, ideology seems to cloud this logic. (Since those on the left seem to not really use the inference of proof to stand by their belief. They are standing on their ideological principles as opposed to actually using logic to prove their point.) And the right seem to completely dismiss that the same basic theory they are using actually proves the simpler (and more likely to be correct) of the left. If you can take fifteen minutes to step out of the ideological blinders then perhaps you can see this. (Fifteen minutes is way too much time for either side, silly of me to ask.)

    Again, Bush held hands with them. Now, bowing to someone in a diplomatic gesture (no matter what either side thinks). In some cultures, it is the same as shaking hands and means something different than what we think of as bowing or subjugating oneself. Now, he’s certainly trying to not make it look like we’re at war with Muslims (we’re not, it’s terrorists, not Islam. Or better yet, Radical Islam, which isn’t the same as Islam). Again, the little evidence that says he isn’t, doesn’t mean he is. Logical fallacy there (see previous posts to learn about fallacies).

    No, I simply make more money now than I did or would as a county deputy. It’s called an “education”.

    Let us never forget the worst offender of the Nazi terminology, spewed from the well of the Senate by none other than Democrat Dicky Durban. Now that was a disgrace, if I have ever seen one. And yet, nary a mention of it anywhere. Durban was given a pass by the media for likening our military to the the Nazi’s and worse. he should have been forced to resign, but we get an article about an R, with not even a mention of the foulness of little Dickie’s comments.

    Why doesn’t that surprise me.

    I’ve thought this for awhile. you have to admit it’s odd that he would say “57″ states. I mean, let’s assume he was tired and misspoke (something the haters never assumed when George Bush made a gaffe). why would he pick 57? rather a coincidence that that’s how many states are in the OIC.

  • BatBoy

    Given the history of the President being oddly linked to Islam, at the very least this floor speech certainly sounds somewhat inappropriate.

    I am not sure the speech was inappropriate…..The President is much more linked linked to Islam, then waht the writer wants to admitt. Afterall. Many Muslims find it OK to Kill other Muslims! Just Saying!

  • Dem4Ever

    To deny that our president…Mr. Barrak Hussein Obama has had links to Islam in the past is akin to denying that our former president George Walker Bush has no links to Christianity.

    I’m sure Obama knows that our country has only 50 states, but it would be foolhardy not to at least examine the possibility that Barrak’s “gaffe of 57″ might have been the proverbial Freudian slip.

  • CarmanK

    this man is a disgrace to the people’s government. He has the nerve to insult the millions of voters who selected President Obama to lead this nation, after years of abuse by the failed GOP fiscal policies to shrink govt, gives tax cuts to the rich and deregulate industry. None of those policies have enriched the quality of life for the citizens of the US or made our nation stronger. Gohmert is a pathetic failure of a man whose arrogance is way out of proportion with the man of little stature that he really is. He is an embarrassment to the many good people who have served with integrity in the US House and most of all he is a joke and therefore ineffective representative of his constituency. He lacks knowledge, understanding and forsight. He is a pathetic little man whose soul is dark and sad.

    This congressman is insane. There’s a very simple explanation for Obama’s slip of the tongue. (see http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/57states.asp). Obama said that he had visited 57 states, “one left to go” and then noted that he couldn’t go to Alaska and Hawaii because it was too far to justify. So, Obama was trying to visit all 48 continental states, and he was trying to say that he had been to 47 states. It’s very easy to say 57 instead of 47. “fifty” is similar to “forty” and when we talk about the states, it is ingrained in all of us to say “50 states” instinctively. It’s true that people mocked GW Bush for his slips of the tongue. But those critics didn’t go back three years and imagine some crazy Muslim plot was behind it all.

    This lunacy deserves a lot more media coverage, to expose just how far the wingnuts of the conservative movement have gone.

    Exactly…why didn’t he say 50?…or 56 or 58? That’s why Gohmert said “hints”

    Is this guy really an American? Three years after tired candidate Obama was in Oregon, having been on the campaign trail without a break for days on end, makes the mistake of saying there were ‘57′ states. When in fact, there are 50 states plus the 7 territories. I guess this douchebag didn’t think about that.

    I’ve been trying to come up with 57, adding together the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the territories of Guam, the Northern Marianas, and the Virgin Islands; the commonwealths of Puerto Rico and American Samoa — and I keep getting 56.

    Where could Obama have possibly come up with the number 57?

    How pathetic has the whack-job right become that they are looking to Louey Gohmert for wisdom and guidance?

  • mcstokes

    I think the president is linked to Islam, he sure is disconnected from the US.

  • DFW

    Louie Gohmert is an embarrassment to all of us in Texas.

    He embodies ignorance and insults the positive aspects of sanity. Many people on this board ignore that and, instead, run with Fox-manufactured nonsense about Obama’s link to Islam (good luck–it’s right next to the Tooth Fairy and the Great Pumpkin, in case you are really looking hard). Maybe this is good enough to serve as an indication why idiots like Gohmert get to to Congress in the first place.

    It’s still an embarrassment to America.

    I need to run for office in Louie’s district, because Louie is one ignorant SOB. And if he can get elected, anyone can get elected. I mean anyone, you don’t even need a high school diploma to be elected in his district. Obviously this idiot gets most of his intellectual ideas from Glen Beck. Louie is trying to make a point about world wide Islamic rule. And according to Louie, if and when that occurs, Obama will somehow be complicit in its occurrence. (Anyone who truly believes this should report immediately to Area 51, in Nevada, They are not done running tests on Aliens yet). In one sentence Louie says U.S.’s loyalty …”is not to the ‘Muslim Brotherhood’, who MAY very well take over Egypt”…, and then immediately says ” And once THEY DO, they’re bent upon setting up a ‘Caliphate’”… Here this idiot leaps from a statement of conjecture, to a statement of fact, in the same sentence. Spoken like a true Beck disciple. He’s as loony as they get.

    Now I realize a there are those who read sites, like Mediaite, that have deep emotional problems, especially the Conspiracy Theorists. With you, there will never be a day of rest. Because everything to you is a conspiracy, even my post is part of the conspiracy. But someday you will seek help and get the meds you so desperately need, to function normally in this society, and the demons will all go away. The first thing you can do is give up the Meth. Not only will you keep your teeth, you will keep from blowing up your neighbors. I know, I know, you don’t have neighbors, you live out in the country, in a trailer park, where you can get some well deserved peace and quiet. But what about all those trips to WalMart, in seven different cities, just to buy some Sudafed? Actually this article should give you some good insight on where to move. Move to Louie’s district in Texas, it sounds as if there may be a Pfizer plant nearby, not to mention it sounds like there are many just like you, living there now.

    I, too, wanted to know what the “57 states” comment was about. So I watched the video.

    Obama seemed to want to say “50 states,” but he’d only been to 47 (of a 48 state campaign.)
    He ended up saying he’d been “to fifty… seven” states. (Trying to correct 50 down to 47.) That’s it. Completely meaningless error.

    File this one next to Ford’s “eastern Europe” gaffe and Palin’s “North Korean allies” gaffe.
    Meaningless slips, except to the people who love to make political hay.

  • D Right One

    Aaah, the conspiracy theorists of the number 57! Let’s see there are 57 OIC states and Obama’s mentioning of the number 57 was a “shout out” to the Islamists. I get it!

    in addition to 50 states, there are seven territories and commonwealths to the United States. that also adds to 57. no conspiracy theory required.
