Via Red State, Rep. Fortney "Pete" Stark (D-CA) on the House floor:

"You're going to spend it [SCHIP money] to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement."

Really? Is this what the demagoguery has come to?

UPDATE: Via Kathryn Lopez, here's more of Stark's comments:

I yield myself two minutes. Madam speaker, I, first of all, I'm just amazed that they can't figure out -- the Republicans are worried that they can't pay for insuring an additional 10 million children. They sure don't care about finding $200 billion to fight the illegal war in Iraq. Where are you going to get that money? Are you going to tell us lies like you're telling us today? Is that how you're going to fund the war? You don't have money to fund the war on children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if he can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President's amusement.

Even in context, Stark's comments are still deplorable.
