The radical, anti-government rhetoric of Republican state Senate candidate Bob Giuda

The militantly anti-government ideology of state Senate candidate Bob Giuda is on full display in a series of fiery essays the former three-term state representative and deputy majority leader has posted on social media.

In one Facebook post, the Warren Republican running for the 2nd district seat being relinquished by Sen. Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith) declared, “The ‘fundamental transformation’ promised by the current president is being done with sleight-of-hand, illegally and unconstitutionally, and with the permission and assistance of Congress and the Courts.”

“The ultimate defense can no longer be found in the legislative process or the courts…” he warned. “And like our forefathers, we must stand against the forces of tyranny that seek to destroy not only our nation, but also our souls and our humanity.”

Giuda described his support for Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s armed confrontation with federal officials and for his friend Jerry DeLemus, who now sits in a federal prison awaiting trial for his alleged role in the uprising.

“I went to Bunkerville, NV and spent 4 days in Camp Remnant with fellow patriots,” Giuda wrote. “Ask yourself why the US government would provoke a violent confrontation and threaten to use lethal force over a dispute over cows eating grass?”

“I have never heard Jerry DeLemus tell a lie,” he added. “I have, however, heard him share some very ugly truths – truths which challenge a government grown far beyond its intended purposes which continues to assault the Bill of Rights under the pretext of ‘keeping us safe.’“

Giuda denounced the U.S. government for the death of Lavoy Finicum, the Oregon wildlife refuge occupier who was killed by law enforcement officers, and called the shooting a “monstrous act of murder.”

“On Tuesday, January 25, 2016, the United States government and the State of Oregon conspired to commit murder,” Giuda wrote. “They staged an ambush, opened fire on a vehicle that had given no cause whatsoever for using lethal force, and killed a citizen who jumped out of that vehicle in cold blood.”

‘This president is a racist marxist muslim’

Giuda checks the boxes on numerous right-wing conspiracy theories. Agenda 21, he wrote, lays out “the structure and methods of achieving a single world government.”

With Executive Order 13603, Giuda warned a gun rally audience, “the president declared that he can authorize government agencies to take control of entire industries and entire sectors of our economy by declaring a state of emergency without the advise or consent of the Senate or the Congress.”

(Outside the Beltway debunked that one, explaining "the Executive Order itself is nothing more than a restatement of policy that has been in place [for] decades and grants no authority to the President or the Cabinet that they don’t already have under existing law.”)

Giuda saved his most passionate rhetoric to condemn the president, writing, “we have essentially elected a foreigner who has no understanding of the very country that he reigns supreme over.“

“This president is a racist marxist muslim – completely consistent with his upbringing,” Giuda wrote. “This should not be a surprise to anyone.”

“The forces that influenced his formative years are well known and documented,” Giuda continued. “One does not listen to Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and not learn hatred and racism. One does not grow up with a Muslim father in Kenya and Indonesian and not learn islam. One who believes in the rule of law does not invite Al Sharpton – who owes $4 million in back taxes – to repeatedly consult with him in the White House…”

‘What’s next? Men and sheep? Women and dogs?’

Giuda’s last bid for public office was his 2010 campaign for the 2nd district congressional seat, in which the now-retired airline pilot received 17 percent of the Republican primary vote, well behind winner Charlie Bass and second place finisher Jennifer Horn.

The lowlight of that campaign, which was captured by a college student covering the race on her summer break, was Giuda’s confrontation with a group of high school students over marriage equality.

Giuda “called gay marriage the root of ill in society, referring to it as the ‘downfall of the nation,’” Eliza Kern reported. “He called single motherhood a result of a ‘breakdown in marriage,’ and went so far as to blame the fall of Sparta, a military power in Ancient Greece, on homosexuality among its soldiers.”

“What’s next?” Giuda asked. “Men and sheep? Women and dogs?”

Giuda’s remarks were roundly denounced – from the right and the left. “To compare gays and lesbians to dogs is beyond offensive, and to state that we are responsible for the decline of civilization is simply ridiculous,” declared Mo Baxley, New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition executive director.

Giuda’s Republican opponent Jennifer Horn, now state party chair, agreed with Baxley. “Mr. Giuda’s comments were hateful and ignorant; he should apologize and not try to explain it away. There is no place for this type of language in civilized conversation,” she said.

Giuda, who continues to refer to “the abomination of homosexuality,” told reporters that he meant no disrespect.
