5. It was a very powerful interview
Edited on Thu Jan-13-11 11:59 AM by Tom Rinaldo
Combine that with the Arizona Republican Precinct (or whatever) leaders resigning because they weren't willing "to take a bullet" for the Republican Party - from Tea Type fanatics. Palin's gunsight map was so obvious that it pulled most of the media attention and commentary, but it was a pale above ground shadow of what is boiling right at the edge of public radar. I can understand why many in the public feel it is a stretch to personally blame Palin for the shooting, and as long as the debate focuses on Palin only the most sinister forces growing in our mation can still avoid the spotlight. But sadly it is only a matter of time before something else happens to tear off the mask that still disguises them as "conservative activists".

9. Saw this last night. Bob Filner used to be...
...my congressman. He is wonderful, honest, and not afraid to speak the truth. I wish he still represented me...now I get Bono-Mack. :(

11. My friend who lives in his district sent it to me
I wonder if she was in that room when the tea bags were going nuts.

12. If she was, that would have been pretty frightening. It really makes me...
...sad that some of my fellow San Diegans could behave that way. I have heard (TV news) that the Tea Party had several SD rallies. One TV station was also very biased toward Popodich (sp?). SD also has Duncan Hunter Jr...now that his dad retired. I think some voters just vote the name...probably don't realize they are voting for his son. Awful.

Up the road from you...

And yes, most folks do not realize how our back country is... as in bright, arterial blood red.

15. OMG. I didn't know that had happened.
and the white supremacist that was part of his opponents group celebrating the murder of a nine-year-old child - saying it's start of a "revolution" - aka a new civil war in this nation.

And Koch is on record saying it's the best political movement since the American Revolution.

If these weren't white people, they would already be in jail - or in gitmo.

16. It's pretty frightening
Our local tea bags were pretty scary also. Very loud, in your face, threatening. But also pretty stupid.

20. K&R - this belongs on the front page.
I'm weary of being told that the "left" is overreaching in all of this. It's out there,and it's real. And reasonable people have to know...
