You've _got_ to be kidding. <br /><br />What's your publisher's email address? I'm going to pitch a book about a Civil War sparked by the debate over health care. <br /><br />I can see the book's climax now now: armies of wheelchair equipped medicare recipients rolling into the capital to secure the right to government subsidized hip replacements opposed by a phalanx militant neo-Nazi Lithuanian-American podiatrists.<br /><br />Hey, it's not as far-fetched as at least ONE of the characters in your book that I can name.

During the 90s, in the lead up to McVeigh, we only had talk radio "egging the loonies on." Now we have Fox and the internet, in addition to talk radio. So I have absolutely no doubt that teabagger violence will end in someone's death (or many someone's). <br /><br />But will it end there? These people are so deluded and out of touch with reality, they may very well resort to blaming others for the blood on their hands. <br /><br />By the way, nilki is right, they are terrorists and need to be called out as such.MarkPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594245847335785792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598533866789265689.post-45464402596938370482010-03-25T12:04:05.349-04:002010-03-25T12:04:05.349-04:00I agree with Nilki 100%.

He's very lucky someone wasn't killed or injured. <br /><br />Teabagger histrionics reminds me of the militia movement's rhetoric leading up to the Oklahoma City bombing. McVeigh killed the militias after his terrorist act in the 90s. The question is: Will it take a similarly horrific crime to shame the teabaggers into their senses?MarkPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594245847335785792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598533866789265689.post-91534691395096896062010-03-25T08:59:42.888-04:002010-03-25T08:59:42.888-04:00I'm shocked, but not surprised (if that's ...I'm shocked, but not surprised (if that's possible).Louis Paganhttp://louispagan.comnoreply@blogger.com
