Democrats urge protesters to give GOP the boot
In a series of fiery speeches outside the state Capitol in Phoenix, a group of Democrats used the massive demonstrations Monday to call for the ouster of the majority Republican Party.

...........

The political dispute comes after a day of feverish debate at the Legislature in which Democrats and Republicans clashed over immigration.

At one point, a Republican lawmaker accused the estimated 100,000 people who attended the rally of causing more disruption to the government than terrorists.

“They have succeeded in doing something that the terrorists have not been able to do, and that is shut our government down effectively,” said Sen. Robert Blendu, RLitchfield Park. “If I was a terrorist, I’d be going, ‘What do I want to bother with this violence for? All you have to do is move in.’ ”

2. That's pretty terrifying...
...that they would equate protesters with terrorists.

This is America. Fighting and speaking out against corruption and government are one of
the hallmarks of our nation.

If someone in the government is that unhappy with protesters--then there is something wrong
with our government.

You serve us, buddy. Not the other way around.

5. Republicans hate Latinos
We had 25,000 Latinos and their friends march through downtown Indianapolis on Monday, surprising the police and politicians alike. One of the marchers, a small business owner, said that he will never vote Republican again because they are hateful bigots.

6.  “If I was a terrorist, I’d be going, ‘What do I want to bother with this
...violence for? All you have to do is move in.’ ”

Pretending this blathering stupidity makes sense for a moment, wouldn't anything that deterred terrorists from violence be a GOOD thing? These people can't even blather their own idiocy with a modicum of logic.
