The Liberal activists at Think Progress, think they have a winner after capturing Rick Perry’s comments to Iowans about the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
If this guy prints more money between now and the election,” Perry said, “I don’t know what y’all would do to him in Iowa, but we — we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous — or treasonous in my opinion.
The Iowa crowd chuckles lightly, a sign that they understand the lighthearted comment laced with Texas swagger.
Liberals and others on Twitter suggest that Perry’s comments were a threat to Bernanke, warning him not to travel to Texas for fear of bodily harm.
Nouriel Roubini, a NYU professor tweeted: “The mind of Rick Perry (his sick words on Bernanke) is not much different from that of the Norway mass murdered. Loaded words cause violence”
What do you think? Did Perry go too far? Let us know in the comments below:
