HCR opponents vowed to send snipers to kill the children of congress members who voted yes
This is your country on repugicans.
Any questions?
This should end well ...
Law enforcement authorities are investigating the discovery of a cut propane gas line at the Virginia home of Rep. Thomas Perriello’s (D-Va.) brother, whose address was targeted by tea party agitators angry at the congressman’s vote for the health care bill. 
The "Tea Party" has now graduated from rambling incoherent video screeds on youtube to domestic terrorism. So, where are the repugican statements cutting these folks loose from the "big tent"?
Rep. Tom Perriello released the following statement in response to an ongoing FBI investigation into a severed gas line at the home of the congressman’s brother.
“My number one priority right now is ensuring the safety of my brother’s family, and I am grateful to law enforcement for their excellent work. While it is too early to say anything definitive regarding political motivations behind this act, it’s never too early for political leaders to condemn threats of violence, particularly as threats to other Members of Congress and their children escalate. And so I ask every member of House and Senate leadership to state unequivocally tonight that it is never OK to harm or threaten elected officials and their families with anything more than political retribution. Here in America, we settle our political differences at the ballot box.”
"Repugicans originally thought that Faux worked for us, and now we are discovering we work for Faux"
Hey, we normal people knew this all along! It's lonely at the bottom

How the other america has been living ...
Russell King of TPM wrote an open letter to conservatives:
Dear conservative Americans,
The years have not been kind to you. I grew up in a profoundly republican home, so I can remember when you wore a very different face than the one we see now. You've lost me and you've lost most of America. Because I believe having responsible choices is important to democracy, I'd like to give you some advice and an invitation.
First, the invitation: come back to us.
Now the advice. You're going to have to come up with a platform that isn't built on a foundation of cowardice: fear of people with colors, religions, cultures and sex lives that differ from your own; fear of reform in banking, health care, energy; fantasy fears of America being transformed into an islamic nation, into social/communism/fascism, into a disarmed populace put in internment camps; and more. But you have work to do even before you take on that task ...
Here's the rest of it. but first, make yourselves comfortable -- it's long, it's spot-on, and it contains more links than a sausage smokehouse. The next time someone on the right tries to diminish and discredit the entire Democratic Party (and, by extension, self-described liberal-leaning independents such as me) over the left's own hypocrisy and failures to maintain civility and consistency, just direct their attention to this Russell King piece. Because, as King concluded ...
(Anticipating your initial response: No there is nothing that even comes close to this level of wingnuttery on the American left.)
One for the good guys!
Hundreds of screaming students succeeded in what few thought possible Tuesday night - they silenced incendiary wingnut Ann Coulter.Wingnut Ann Coulter silenced by angry protesters at University of Ottawa
Wingnut heart throb Ann Coulter canceled in Canada. Told Muslim student to 'take a camel' as alternative to flying.[T]he contents of Monday’s talk — which included Coulter telling a Muslim student she “take a camel” as an alternative to flying — grabbed headlines on both sides of the border Tuesday.
Coulter made the camel quip when pressed on a question asked by UWO student Fatima Al-Dhaher, who was referencing a previous quote made to the media that Muslims shouldn’t be allowed on airplanes and should take "flying carpets" instead. Al-Dhaher had noted she didn’t own a flying carpet, and asked what Coulter suggested she do instead.
Buckwheat, the Little Rascal from the 1920s series of film shorts called "Our Gang," is now center stage in a foot-in-mouth moment for a South Florida candidate for the U.S. Congress.
Repugicans are such a class act I tell you
Teabaggers are already over their one-time hero, Scott Brown
The Boston Herald proclaims "Repugicans feeling blue as Scott Brown win backfires." Repugicans may be feeling blue, but the teabaggers are seeing red. They're seething. And, they've turned their anger (and, if there's one thing we know about teabaggers, they're angry) on Scott BrownBrown’s backers from the insurgent Teabaggers want to know if they’ve been had.
“We start to wonder whether we helped a RINO (Republican in name only) get into office,” said Teabagger agitator Jeffrey McQueen, who traveled from Michigan to campaign for Brown in the final days of the Jan. 19 special election that rocked the nation.
If it wasn’t for the teabeggers, Scott Brown wouldn’t have gotten that seat. They expected to see a true wingnut in there.
In fact, Democrats now say Brown’s election as the so-called “41st vote” to block Obama’s health-care overhaul inspired them to seek procedural means to bypass repugican efforts to derail the bill.
That was one of the quickest falls from grace in politics.
And from the 'act like adults' repugicans we have ...
Repugicans Refusing To Work Past 2PM, Invoking Obscure Rule
Making good on Sen. McCain's threat to withhold all Republican cooperation from Democrats in the Senate in retribution for the majority party using reconciliation to pass health care reform, the GOP used the rule that states committees can only meet when the chamber is in session with the unanimous consent of all members.Senate Republicans fuming over the passage of health care reform are now refusing to work past 2 p.m. -- a tactic they can employ by invoking a little-known Senate rule.On Wednesday, the Judiciary Committee was forced to cancel a hearing as was the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Liars and Fools
Faux's Glen Brick suggests that the Obama administration is "coming after him" and may kill him.Sorry, Glen ol'boy but they wouldn't waste they time on a piss-ant like you.
Sarah Palin (retarded-Alaska) says the health care debate is between supporters of socialism and "those who love America".
It would help if the whack-job had a clue about anything, anything at all, much less what is and is not socialism.
Faux's Glen Brick compares health insurance reform to Flight 93 on 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Chamberlain meeting Hitler, and Hindenburg.
That "logic" is so twisted even he can't believe that bullshit.
Lush Dimbulb says health reform was "about fundamentally wrecking and destroying" America "as it was founded".
Oh, just go ahead and go on the Costa Rica and get you 'socialized medicine' there ... and to that fundamentally wrecking and destroying American as it was founded thing you got going - reading from the Texas history text books is not going to get you anywhere
