If the Arkansas Democratic leader was murdered by a right wing nut...
I will canvass and phone bank twice as much as I did before. If any of them shoot at me they better be accurate and have a good place to hide.

5. Democrats should begin arming themselves
sorry people, I'm pro gun for a reason.


this guy is one of them.



republicans threaten, use force, and violence. historically during revolutions, blood has usually been shed. I'm not advocating violence, I'm advocating self defense.


does anyone REALLY think republicans will go quietly into the night? these people hate us, they hate this country, they just HATE period.


people that irrational and willing to use any means necessary must be treated with open suspicion and the understanding at some point they could turn on you at any moment.


its like dealing with a rapid dog, basically.

6. We don't know what happened. The Arkansas dem leader (sorry I don't know his name)
owned some car dealerships. He could have a crazy customer who went nuts and killed him.

11. they always blame illegals/democrats
thats the common excuse I keep hearing from republicans when they lose their job etc


its the liberals fault, the illegals, etc etc. whatever nonsense the hate pimps push on them


you remind them that democrats haven't been in charge of the government for 12 years till 2006 and they go into like this lockdown like, "does...not...compute...." or inform them that republicans simply filibuster every bill so it can't pass and its "does...not...compute..."


try it sometime, shortly after that they usually go into some rant about obama going to ruin the country or just go right back into blaming liberals/illegals/etc


its pretty safe to assume this guy fell into that category.

12. Before we run around with torches and pitchforks we should know what happened.
Then if you are right we can get our torches and pitchforks.

14. its a lot funner to keep them ready
the general assumption that is going to be correct as we approach the election is that more and more violence against the democratic party will happen


and its gonna be people with conservative ties that the MSM will gloss over. someone else posted an article about the style of "lone wolf" domestic terrorism that republicans prefer.


not to mention just inciting random people to violence.


its what the GOP has been laying the groundwork for also, in case they ever lost power, they have an army of domestic terrorists ready to be incited.

sleeper cells, as someone else said was a better description.


"oh noes, we'z gonna have a black president!!!!11111!!!!"

doesn't take much to incite those who are already mentally programmed.

9. doesn't excuse it
obama offices have already been vandalized, and we've seen just how far the right will go to hold onto their grasp of power.


republicans are like crazed animals this campaign season and should be treated the same way you'd handle a vicious stray dog.

10. I dunno. If our response to them killing Dems is phone-banking
we might be in trouble over the long haul.
