Repugs Abandon Democracy for Violence

For more than a year, the last word on Obama Derangement Syndrome has belonged to Zandar, who has indefatigably tracked it, exposed it and analyzed it. Now, it's come to the point he's predicted all along.

Want to know what's coming? I won't link to Dan Riehl's tirade. You can findWant to know what's coming? I won't link to Dan Riehl's tirade. You can find it yourself if you're curious. But I will let you know what the average winger is thinking right now about the continuing violence against Dems.

SNIP

Riehl is delusional. His spittle-flecked invective is precisely what I mean by "Obama Derangement Syndrome." Here's a man who feels so aggrieved, so violated, so victimized by a Democratic majority that was fairly elected by the people actually passing Democratic legislation, that he simply dismisses the threats and hatred, the vitriol and the anger, as something the Democrats deserve for daring to pass legislation in his country.

Passing legislation is a violation of the "public trust". Democrats are "criminals" to him, "malignant little tyrants" to him, not even human, not even worthy of basic human decency. Hell, they're not even worthy of the kindness you'd show an injured animal. "Own it for once, you miserable little cretins."

"Rot in hell" is his advice to people he views as "miserable little creatures." If you dehumanize your "enemy" then you feel no remorse when you commit acts of violence and anger against them.

All this...for passing a health care reform bill.

The projection here is sickening. You thought they hated Obama before? You have no idea. He won, on Sunday. He beat them. And they so utterly despise him, that now the gloves are truly off. The real violence, the real hatred, those are now going to be on full display. The mask is broken. And there are millions like Riehl out there.

The rough beast is no longer slouching. It's running at full tilt.

There's a monster "gun rights" rally planned for Washington, D.C. on April 19.

April 19. The 17th anniversary of the burning of the David Koresh compound in Waco.

The 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.

And of course April 19th is also Patriots' Day, celebrating the Battle of Lexington and Concord and the start of the American Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775.

April 19th marks the 235th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord and the start of the Revolutionary War on April 19, 1775.

One of my ancestors, Lt. John Bacon, was a member of the Needham Minute Men company and answered the alarm on April 19, 1775 as did his three oldest sons, who were members of the militia. Lt. John Bacon was killed in battle that day in Menotomy as the retreating British forces made its way back to Boston from Concord under constant fire from the local Minute Men and militia companies.

The present day piss-ant Teabaggers know nothing of history and sure as hell don't know anything about true patriotism.
