Seriously? You don't think someone may get hurt?" No, not really. I don't think that the wingnuts really understand populism. They will continue to downplay the danger because the real danger is those of darker skin hue. They have convinced themselves that fascism is a Leftist phenomena, and could never spring from themselves. They are wrong. They are the ones who twist, deny, distort and lie. I am really concerned. The families of most congressmen do not live in DC and there are wingers who are threatening congressmen's families. Today, they staged a protest outside one OH congressman's house while he was in DC. He has a wife and two small children. These winger nutjobs are using the threat of intimidation and violence to keep congressmen from voting a particular way. That's exactly how the nazis started out in Germany. We are not Germany but I don't think this kind of behavior should be tolerated. Today, Palin put up a map targeting vulnerable congressmen using crosshairs to pinpoint their locations and tweeting that Rs need to "reload". There are assholes out there who will take her up on her suggestions. I don't think this stuff should be ignored. Like I've said before these white assholes have an exaggerated sense of entitlement. They don't seem to realize they are the minority.
