1. This is getting very interesting |
|
Some concrete proof that the whackos are violent and Palin and Bachmann are too stupid to distance themselves from this.

10. Yeah, surprised that cnn is making the connection |
|
Since the campaign I have felt that cnn and other media outlets have been encouraging the rw violent ramp-up. Think of all of the money that they will save/make if there is a violent conflict here in the States.

27. They probably did it by accident. I doubt they'll repeat it. |
|
They've been busily shoring up the legitimacy of the Teabaggers for a couple of weeks now.

16. I Like the "Open carry family picnic" |
|
I see Dad with a gun strapped on, Mom has hers under her frilly apron, the teen agers are laughing and pointing theirs at passing cars, and little baby "snookum's" gun is just laying loaded and ready on top of his yellow gingham blanky....
Ahhhhh.... so family friendly this open carry picnic! No one's gonna fuck with their family fun!

8. Saw several comments on another site saying that Obama had set these |
|
guys up and that they were "good christians". I guess the bombs and intent to kill police and rescue workers is some sort of Easter ritual.

12. Good, because I was getting ready to write an email |
|
I was very disturbed this morning to see the headline "FBI targets Christian Militia" at CNN. They were saying they got the "Christian Militia" part from a "neighbor". I was ready to tell them how irresponsible that was and if they couldn't get verification from FBI that they were actually "targeting" a specific group, then they should hold off on inciting right-wing Christian crazies. Short leap to "Obama is targeting Christians".

15. Obama rounding up opposition tea party patriots? |
|
I guess Glenn Beck can resurrect his story on the construction of American gulags. Looks like they're finished and ready to receive guests for their grand opening! Faux News ought to be a real hoot today.

the "right to bear arms" crowd seem to go out of their way to make the rest of us think that maybe that's not such a great idea.

Why did they suddenly decide it was time to challenge government? They got beat fair and square in a bunch of elections nationwide.
