Previously:

M – I – Z, boo… (November 2, 2013)

Tonight, via Twitter, from a member of the republican majority in the Missouri General Assembly:

Casey Guernsey ‏@CaseyGuernsey

I find booing a liar to be patriotic and rather enjoyed it. Crowds Boo Obama at Mizzou Football Game « CBS St. Louis [….] 8:16 PM – 5 Nov 13

Uh, you neglected to mention that it was while new members of the Missouri National Guard were being sworn in during a ceremony at the point in the required text “…and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States…”

Also, via Twitter:

Matt Tharp ‏@matt_tharp

#MOLeg rep and agenda 21 expert —-> MT “@CaseyGuernsey: I find booing a liar to be patriotic and enjoyed it. Crowds Boo Obama at Mizzou” 8:24 PM – 5 Nov 13

It figures.

Though he was absent for that last vote in the regular session.

Update:

Well, that went over well:

Sean Nicholson ‏@ssnich

Birther-> MT @CaseyGuernsey: I find booing a liar to be patriotic and rather enjoyed it. Crowds Boo Obama at MU Game [….] 8:50 PM – 5 Nov 13

Someone else noticed:

Jason Hancock ‏@J_Hancock

MT @CaseyGuernsey I find booing a liar to be patriotic & rather enjoyed it. Crowds Boo Obama at Mizzou Football Game [….] 8:53 PM – 5 Nov 13

And:

Sean Nicholson ‏@ssnich

Recall that @CaseyGuernsey was part of @DrOrlyTaitzEsq birther lawsuit in 2009 [….] 8:55 PM – 5 Nov 13

Update II:

Representative Casey Guernsey (r) deleted his tweet:

Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!

Thanks for noticing-we’re going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.

Another Twitter comment:

Cameron Sullivan ‏@CamSullivan

Or delete the tweet & just pretend it never happened MT @matt_tharp: @CaseyGuernsey feel free to apologize for your comments whenever #MOLEG 9:18 PM – 5 Nov 13

Uh, the Internets are forever, as someone pointed out via facebook:

He deleted that tweet after about 1,000 screen shots taken by every major new source in the state and many RT’d it.

M – I – Z, boo…

Via Twitter, from the “Mizzou athletics beat writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch & STLtoday.com” (at the University of Missouri football game in Columbia):

Dave Matter ‏@Dave_Matter

US soldiers taking their oath of enlistment on Faurot Field at halftime. Oath mentions “the president.” Crowd boos. 7:53 PM – 2 Nov 13

A few of the responses:

Jeff Gelski ‏@jjgelski

@stuart_goldman @Dave_Matter Any rodeo clowns in attendance? 7:57 PM – 2 Nov 13

James Hare ‏@harej

@Dave_Matter @Alex_Keck Boy, just wait until they find out President Obama is in charge of the U.S. military. 7:57 PM – 2 Nov 13

TremendousSkullet ‏@STLSlowMo

@Dave_Matter just imagine if they mentioned #Congress…8:01 PM – 2 Nov 13

And those are some of the tame responses.
