Another proof that the Republicans are becoming the New Taliban.

@MissNormaDesmond: I understand Grassley is an elected representative and has people who voted for him, but the mistake is thinking that means he and his voters have to be respected. They don't respect Obama or his voters, and they don't offer to compromise, and yet the left keeps thinking it has to give respect and compromise, and that in a nutshell is why politics keeps moving to the right. We have a chance now to move back away a bit, and the right is screaming about it- let them scream.

The is about whether these calls for violence are going to be encouraged by the leadership of the opposition party. Democratic Party leaders, Moveon.or, the various constituencies of the left...none of them advocated violence against or a violent overthrow of the previous administration. Not any that were taken seriously. And no one who ever went on the goddamn teevee.
The point being made is that the spokespersons need to stop making, and the Republican Party leadership needs to stop acting oblivious to, calls for an overthrow of our government, violent or otherwise.
Conservatives and Republicans need to accept the results of the last two elections. And if you can't win at the ballot box, you need to fucking learn how to get along like every other minority or coalition party-belonging grownup in the western fucking world.

Liberals pout for 4-8 years when their guy loses. Conservatives? They get fucking dangerous.

With that said...look: my father's generation (born in 1941) was (and is still) probably the most racist bunch of idiots still alive today. So please...don't be offended by the following words if you are white, not a racist and were born after me. This does not apply to you.
To all of the "grassroots activists" who are really just pissed off because a black man is running the country:
Boo-fucking-hoo. Poor, poor whitey. Cry me a river of crocodile tears. The only oppression going on against you is in your deranged minds.
I grew up in the 70s watching every adult I knew behave exactly like all of the hateful crackpots who are littering the airwaves every night and threatening our elected congressional representatives. As a kid I got to see racist Oakland cops treat honest black residents worse than shit every single day. And then I got to listen to the white residents laugh about it.
So what...now I'm supposed to feel bad and take the same white folks seriously because they're hiding behind the health care debate instead of white sheets? Listen up, dicks. You're all already on Medicare. WTF do you think THAT is? Find another excuse for your irrational hate let us poors have some goddamn health insurance.
And you GOP bloggers who follow these threads, listen up: You are rapidly becoming IRRELEVANT. Your power is slipping away, and I plan on living as long as it takes just so I can see the day when I don't have to hear some pink-faced jerk privately drop the n-bomb on me because I pass for a Protestant.
Republicans, do us all a favor and just go away.
