Dana Rohrabacher Says You Deserve To Be Killed By Terrorists
We've spent so long through the looking glass, accepting the Usurper's insane view of the world, that it's hard to remember the words we used to use - just six years ago! - to describe diatribes like this one by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher on the floor of the U.S. Congress.
Ludicrous? Outrageous? Psychotic? Anti-American?
Come up with your own description.
Thanks to Salon commenter adnoto, who interrupted a thread on the death of David Halberstam to bring this Think Progress post to our attention (link includes a transcript):
With respect to Mr. Halberstam...
I don't want to hijack here but I beg of you all to click on my signature link and watch the video of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) tell a group protesting America's use of torture and rendition that, because they don't support these illegal and fundamentally un-American policies, he hopes their families "suffer the consequences." Now what do you suppose he meant by that?
Get angry folks. This guy should be out of a job by the end of the week.

Yeah, they're going all out to ratchet up the fear between now and the 08 elections. They always have, of course, but this time round will make their previous efforts look reasonable by comparison.
For instance, Giuliani said yesterday, unequivocally, that if a Dem is elected president we'll have another 9/11, and if a Repug (meaning him, of course) is elected, we won't.
That simple. Elect him, we're safe. Anybody else will get us attacked. And people - especially the press - let him get away with this crap.
I keep thinking perhaps America has gotten fed up with this kind of nonsense, and our national conversation will return to something resembling good sense. Then I read remarks like Rohrabacher's and Giuliani's and almost everything Romney and McCain are saying lately, and I realize: we're not there yet.
