So sick of hearing about this crap. This is getting more media hits than I think the solider that killed like 18 people.
Getting blown way out of proportion.

Think really hard and maybe you'll understand why. Ok fine, probably not

Rush was interrupted by the presiding officer, Mississippi Republican Gregg Harper, who reminded him that the wearing of hats was not allowed and "members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor."

More archaic and idiotic rules and regulations

Well yea, if your gonna wear a hoodie, make it a good one.

You are like a stereotypical Texan. Function over form all day every day, even if ugly as sin.

I wouldn't wear Carhartt unless I was doing manual labor, for which it was designed. Not for street wear, which is not among the design considerations.

Sorry. You don't wear head coverings in a closed building/under a roof, unless you are stopping quickly during work.

Might be "archaic", but it's good practice. You seem sloppy and unprofessional when you fail to remove a hat or hood when inside closed doors, especially if such place is most certainly not a market.
A collection of fools and retards can indeed be found inside the halls of Congress, but I don't think it's a Walmart.

Great, now my monitor is broken because I panicked and tried to shoot him. You can't just embed a suspicious image like that with no warning

What is this, 1920? No head coverings in a building? Ok gramps. I don't care if YOU think it looks sloppy or unprofessional. It's a silly rule. Judge people if they wear something you don't approve of, justly or not, but to ban it is childish and authoritarian

It is a silly rule with no grounds for belief in it.

Why have a wardrobe for every occasion?

I wear my carhartt shirts and hooded jacket to work, fishing, hunting, play and around town. I guess I am supposed to have a jacket to wear around town, and a different one to go fishing in?

This son of a bitch is wanted!

The generation of kids these days know no respect. Of course I can't blame them. Its there idiot fucking parents that chose to let them be "free" from discipline because its not PC to discipline your children these days. Just wait until they start wearing wife beaters in congress on a daily basis. Incrementalism followed by acceptance/apathy will be the death of this country.

OP, your thread title is misleading. The Congressman is in trouble for violating the House dress code, not for wearing a hoodie. He could have worn fishnet hose and a bustier, and he still would have been escorted out.

That's why the story you linked to says he was escorted out "after" wearing a hoodie.

You're an idiot. Well, I don't actually think that you are. But this statement was idiotic.

He was escorted out for wearing a hoodie, which violated dress code.

 

[nCred]

You are not a hoodlum just because you wear a hoodie.. But you are wearing a hoodlums uniform.

Does Byrd get to wear his "hoodie" too?

Isn't that what you quoted? :hmm:

You're not very good at logic are you six? Thread title is accurate and not misleading.

The quote that SandEagle decided to share is misleading, but thread title is fine.

 

[SandEagle]

^ that quote is from the article, not mine. even so, watch video below. quote is still correct.

He could have made that speech anywhere, while wearing a hoodie, and no one would have cared. He got busted specifically for doing it in the House.

This is true, but you make no mention of rule violations, showing your bias. But I don't blame you, I'd be biased against this guy too!

 

[shortylickens]

Democrat?
Illinois?

yeah, not gonna touch that.

I will say this belongs in P&N.

I am shocked, shocked I tell that there are house dress codes that prohibit wearing a duly elected congressman from wearing a hat or hood. Well maybe Bobby Rush should have better respected the damn fool house rules if he had thrown off the hoodie, or maybe detached the hood while he spoke. How many Saudi Arab and Israelis have testified before the house while wearing Yamicas or Turbans? Luckily Washing DC has no perceived threat laws, because the house SGT of arms could have shot Congressman Bobby Rush as a perceived threat on national TV. As for me, I endorse the concept of the naked emperor, who wears no clothes.

"Rush, who donned the hood and put on sunglasses in support of Martin, the Florida teenager who was gunned down last month in a racially-tinged incident, was escorted out of the House chamber after repeated requests by the presiding officer to leave. Wearing a hood or hat while the House is in session is against House rules."

Its political. Its to earn him cookie points. Its almost like he is proving the point about the hoodie/gangster stereotype even though it was really just breaking the congress dress code. I'm surprised they didn't just make an exception and carry on. Then his plan would have failed.
