These guys are making careers off of hate-mongering and then turning their heads. It's time for them to stop whipping up their mob.

"Dead men" was directed to their chances in the next election, and you know it. "Baby killer" was imbecillic. You should thank the GOP for having fools who yell nonsense like that, or "You lie!" during SOTU speeches.

The job market's tough. If you can get work mongering anything, you have to take what you get. And stop being such a whiner about this. Lewis absorbed a racial slur with an elegant shrug. You're going Chicken Little over suburban appliance vandalism.

Then he went above and beyond. Kudos, sir.

I much prefer the Weber. Charcoal tastes better, you don't get blown up, and with free health care now we don't have to worry as much about carcinogens, right?

To each according to the size of his next barbeque.

I do thank the GOP for their idiocy, from a sheer electoral perspective. But I do think the rash of death threats against folks who voted for HC is disturbing, and think the GOP is doing their best to whip up their worst elements.

of course there's not. it makes the "threat" seem stupid- http://www.wset.com/news/stories/0310/719066.html

this was a teen aged vandal, out for a laugh. cutting a gas line outside won't lead to an explosion until the whole atmosphere is full of gas. even then it wouldn't explode because of the hole in the ozone layer would let it leak out.

Was there another article? This one says the tea party guy gave an address and said people should "drop by". Perhaps with a sign protesting his health care vote? Perhaps even shouting at him? Where's the incitement to anything beyond speech?

If you don't limit the doling out of Webers you're going to bankrupt the next generation.


ETA: GGG-Weber makes gas grills as well.

The scary thing about that joke is, ya know... ya just know, some 85 IQ is already reaching that conclusion.

"Purvis! Hold these cartons of Virginia Slims. I can't git this tanning bed into the doublewide with that bag of smokes 'round my shoulder."

"Laura-Lee, you know I got a breaded cheesecake going in the deep fryer. I can't leave tha-- Purvis Jr.! Put down them chocolate coated butter balls! You know that's fer 'second dessert.'"

Weber may make them, but they aren't Webers.

There have been a series of articles in the last few days about the various ways in which the base has been stirred up.

But it would expand that hole, which I guess makes it terrorism against Australians and New Zealanders.

Why would anyone want to hurt Murray?

Wait until the story about the 16K in new IRS agents reaches the public sphere. That's "the base" plus the middle class, including Democrats, wanting to kill Democrats in office.

I'm not going to ride this bandwagon very far, but what do you think the Tea Partier who published Periello's address (or rather the address he thought was Periello's, where the gas line was cut) had in mind when he did that?

If he's listening to Atticus, he'll ask for a Genesis Silver B.
