1. Just when you think the GOP couldn't possibly get any more disturbing...

Or that you couldn't feel any more disgusted with them... this is beyond the pale! Idiots. Bigots... racists... this needs to stop.

2. I'm ahead of the curve for once

I recall somewhere in my consumption of left media, probably Keith or Rachel or DU or Bartcop or whatever-happened-to-perry-logan? to thom to TYT to frankfactor to michael moore to joy behar to jesse ventura to colbert-stewart actually seeing and hearing Demint make such an ANTI-RELIGION STATMENT as to relish the "breaking" of Obama.

I know of the term "breaking" when referring to uncontrollable horses that need to be trained to carry people, as westerns were really popular when I was a kid, but I didn't know the history to the extent that Thom explains above.

Is Boenher next going to ask on the floor of Congress why niggers have big lips? This is required of all Republicans to say stuff like this to stay on message!

Are we a horrible, backwards, frightened, ignorant, hateful, mean, unjust vigilante country or what!

Can't touch me. I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

3. From the start Demint's using that word was curious to me

He said that sentence so slowly and with such emphasis. It was unusual but I didn't know why at first.

But I will say that the smashing of windows all at once definitely brought "Chrystal Night" to mind immediately.

Now it all makes sense, as time goes by and incidents pile up, how the right wing is completely steeped in racism and antisemitism and they don't care who knows it. As guys like Frum and Christopher Buckley are driven from inner circles, the whack job freaks are in charge and proudly showing their true colors. Maybe it's for the best so their platform can be dealt with out in the open.

6. You said it! Actually... you asked it.

Thanks for the nod by the way.

11. The nod

Ahhh, I'm just a sycophant that wants to get to know people like yourself so that when you get to MSM pundit level I can say to who ever I'm watching with; "Hey I knew that guy before he got famous!"

And I like your work.

4. Demint knew what he was saying.

What I have found about these Republicans is -- no matter how poorly you think of them, your judgment always falls short of the true poverty of their nature.

5. I'm not going to call it a slam dunk, but you make a strong case.

It's amazing what's going on in this country. It's like the sharks smell blood. Violence, assassination, all on the table.

7. Personally, I don't think it's a racist remark per se...

I can believe these assholes are racists but I think it was intended to mean "crush" or "destroy". Much like the example given-Napoleon. A win all/lose all scenario.

9. I see you got your marching orders from Sowell and Malkin but...

...on the same Wikipedia link you provided to the Wichita Massacre, it stated that "there was no evidence of racial motivation". So, based on your own sources, your implied point is bunk. Same precise thing applies to the second story too. So, that leaves you with zero ammunition.

Now, I actually don't think Thom has solidly proved the case for his theory (however interesting and probable it may well be), but one thing for sure is that your weak-ass links prove nothing except that you have sado-macochist trolling tendencies.
