I'm worried about the Teabaggers re: immigration reform/debate

I could see our next hurdle becoming deadly violent.

I really do not trust most of these folks further than I can throw them.

Some are members of the defunct (..are they?) minuteman patrol. Many are armed second amendment gun rights advocates. They carry firearms to town hall meetings of members of Congress. They spit and shout racial and ethnic slurs at their representatives...

Within the last 48 hours here locally, two Democratic representatives offices and our local Democratic Committee have had bricks thrown through their windows.

Federal investigations are being conducted; however I doubt that much will become of these investigations.

Additionally, I find it HIGHLY unlikely that three Democratic offices are coincidental incidents of vandalism by 'wayward youths'.

I hope that I am proven wrong, but these folks are xenophobes with more hate than I have ever seen dating back to the civil rights movement and reforms...

1. Most of them appear to live on Big Macs and Bud so I doubt you COULD throw them.

Besides, you don't know what you might contract from touching them.

2. Yes, I am afraid some of them will act out violently

as their representatives have basically given them consent. ::shaking my head:::

3. Just because they graduated from the Bull Connor school of political discourse

It doesn't mean we should back down. No matter how many fire hoses, dogs, bricks, weapons, etc we have to keep going forward.

4. I'm not suggesting or even considering it...

It's just my opinion that they may become more angry and dangerous than misspelled placards.

5. That is why we get BADASS. Turn in freaks to SS. Get in faces of racist jerks.

show ourselves as tough, and ready to throw them all in FEMA camps if they fuck off.

7. Agreed

6. I'm more worried about the DLC and corporate lobbyists

I don't trust them with this "reform".

8. I love to exploit brown people for cheap labor and anyone who disagrees with me is a RACIST!

:sarcasm:

9. If they try to uprise, the government will crack down on them. I'm not worried.
