The heckler of the hecklers was arrested?

[kentuck]

What the hell?!!

These people, the "Tea-baggers", have done all kinds of heckling and spitting and name-calling and threatening and none of them have been arrested. One guy shows up to "heckle" them and he is dragged out and arrested. What type of double-standard justice do we have in this frigging, right-wing country?

7. Yep. The same double-standards you'd see in Honduras or any other 3rd World nation

Crazy how it works, to just look at it, and yet not only is it so very common throughout all of human history, but still today in many countries.

I just foolishly thought it could never happen in MY country.

Now it is so thoroughly written into our National DNA and Soul, nobody comments on it or even notices.

Even if someone notices, they could never mention it on Corporate M$M because they won't be invitied back. If they have a media job, they get a reprimand or lose said job after the Flying-Monkey Cyber-Attack got through with them.

It is a Triumph of the Will that has created this upside-down totaliarian-like lunacy, but yes, Teabaggers can spit on Congessmen - no arrests, no nothing.

Let a Liberal show up at a Teabagger Rally and OF COURSE they'll be arrested.

I have been saying for a long time the Rushpublics have been reinventing the "KKK mentality" in this country and this, albeit gentler, is basically the same double-standard of the KKK-Soith now taken over our nation - except Liberal are also the n-words in this new incarnation.

At least they're not openly marching into to school classroom to murder Liberal teachers, like they are in Honduras.

hooray.

9. It's scary as hell...

Look at what they have done in the last few days and not one arrest. Spitting, cutting gas lines, using the "n" word toward and African-American Congressman, calling Barney Frank the "f" word, throwing bricks threw windows of Democratic representatives, and many other reported threats. And not one arrest. Then this today.

13. I've been saying this was coming for years - and this is still only Middle Transition Phase

I try not to think what Penultimate and Final Transition Phases are going to look like.

At this point, I think things are so far gone now that, in the end, the only question remaining is whether the American Corporatists are going to lose control of and wind up playing second-bananas to the demons they have awakened in our National Soul. That was what happened to the German Industrialists who awakend some demons in the German Soul in the 30s.

The scary thing is, for the German Industrailists of the 1930s, playing second-banana to the Hitler they raised was still quite profitable for them and those dirty Lib'ruls sure did get "put in their uppity place". Thus I suspect that the same thing is true for the American Corporatists, if the "benevolent dictatorship" a la Bushie philosopher Leo Strauss follows the same path as the German Industrialists'.

Two things: 1) Time will tell. 2) It sure has sucked seeing it coming from so far away, since 2001 for me. Given that it seems to be coming no matter what we do, I think I's rather have not seen it coming from so far away.

Bad as it is going to be everywhere, the epicenter is the Old Confederacy (apologies to Southerners, there are many good people in the South, but reality is reality)

18. Welcome to the American Gulag

The fences and guards are there, it's just that people can't see them yet.

I've been putting up with their crap for almost 30 years. Arbeit macht frei.

10. The Teacan Klan must not be defied.

How did the disrupter get in? Shouldn't the loyalty oath have stopped him at the entrance?

(Recall the Fox "healthcare worker"/insurance agent at Obama's rally the other day. He actually approached her and had a conversation. Sarah Uber Alles preaches to him and tells him to sit down and shut up and "you might learn something." That's one difference between democracy and totalitarianism, between compassionate engagement and angry dismissiveness.)

14. We should use to demonstrate that at our events we really DO believe

in the right to free speech.

[cojoel]

15. not really new

At Bush rallies people with a T-shirt were arrested. At Obama rallies the wingnuts bring assault rifles, with no arrests.
