Public displays of political anger have been a staple of the American scene for the last eight months or so, but in recent days a handful directed at members of Congress have gone a bit further than noisy, sign-carrying assembly to window-smashing, spitting, threatening faxes and phone calls, even a cut propane line on a barbecue grill. At the end of last week, Democratic and Republican leaders, while denouncing any violence or threat of it, reached the point of trading accusations over who was most responsible. For some time now, the GOP has used its more radical elements......tea baggers and rednecks.......to push the violence meter. And that has worked quite nicely for them....last summer a lot of Dem congressmen were intimidated by these assholes. However, that scenario may be changing. Last week, it pretty much fell under the radar but R reps were threatened.......not by liberal whites......they tend to be non violent.....but by blacks. Rs are stepping all over black leaders, slinging racial slurs whenever it enters their mind to do so. And because we have a black president, blacks are plugged into the political system more so than ever before. They will not tolerate this R bullsh*t for very long. Teabaggers and rednecks may start getting confronted in ways they never expected.
