3. They're openly armed at rallies. I'm just surprised it's not 10X as much.
They're showing more restrait than I gave them credit for. :crazy:

4. That sounds about right...
Because the RW loonies are at least four times more dangerous than the far left loonies... we might trample your petunias on one of our silent vigils, however.

...

One of the most popular white supremacist Web sites got more than 2,000 new members the day after the election, compared with 91 new members on Election Day, according to an AP count. The site, stormfront.org, was temporarily off-line Nov. 5 because of the overwhelming amount of activity it received after Election Day. On Saturday, one Stormfront poster, identified as Dalderian Germanicus, of North Las Vegas, said, "I want the SOB laid out in a box to see how 'messiahs' come to rest. God has abandoned us, this country is doomed."

8. Oh no... nothing racist involved, not at all.

How can people say such things? Are they really THAT deep in denial?
