The level of rabble rousing has to stop! Reforming the insurance system in this country does not equate to the kind of crazy talk coming from the GOP. The death threats are increasing and the reasoning is completely false.
The GOP is telling its base that reforming health care is in some way "fascist". I guess the base is illiterate because fascism is the exact opposite of what is being proposed but they have never let the facts get in the way. The result of their campaign has lead to violence and I fear worse will come if they do not tone it down.
When supporters of the right wing start showing up at Town Halls with guns (which they have) its playing with fire. People like Grassley and the like need to put a cork in it for a while and stop banging the drums. If our government starts being intimidated into making decisions because of violence, well that is really fascism!
UPDATE: Though some in the press are saying the person accused of vandalizing the Democratic headquarters is a Democratic Activist, I disagree and here is why. A story in the Denver Post today shows the vandal is connected not with the Democratic Party but an anarchist group.
I still lay the blame for the violent mood of the country squarely on the GOP and their lackeys. Not surprisingly, anarchists get riled up just as easily as anyone when you begin waving pictures of the President in a Hitler mustache.The political identity of alleged window basher Maurice Joseph Schwenkler — once a matter that spawned bickering and accusations between Colorado liberals and conservatives — became clearer Wednesday.
Anarchist websites lit up across the country as Schwenkler's friends in Colorado asked for cash to bail out the 24-year-old, who stands accused of felony criminal mischief and was described in the solicitations as "a transgendered anarchist" using the name Ariel Attack. Schwenkler was released from jail on $5,000 bail Wednesday.
