It’s a good thing we’re finally gonna see the nation’s health care system reformed.
There’s a whole lotta folks out there gonna need some serious medical attention, soon, if this national political discourse gets any more violent! Is mental health care covered in the reforms?
Holy Crap! What’re you people thinkin’? Death threats, spittin’ at members of Congress, callin’ ‘em horrible names, throwin’ money at Parkinson’s patients…and that’s just in my family!
“Correct me if I’m wrong, Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers they put me under the jail and throw away the key.”
“Not the golfers, you idiot. The gofers!” (Slaps Carl with Tam O’Shanter.)
“Oh…we can do that. We don’t even need a license.”
Even the centered, staid NPR felt like it had to devote nearly an hour Thursday to the violent rhetoric and threats peeling across the political marketplace.
And then, of course, comes along the Faux New Channel – whistling and rolling eyes – saying it’s a “bad atmosphere” and wondering where all this comes from?
Gee, can’t figure it out.
The good news is Glenn Beck has is all figured out: It’s the radical bomb-throwing hippies of the 1960s, the people now in charge of the fedrul gov’munt; they are the ones poking and prodding the teabaggers into atrocious threats of violence.
All we need, says Beck, is the finger of God.
Glad we have Sarah Palin who’s promised to – seriously – “target” members of Congress who voted in favor of healthcare reform.
“Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: Don’t Retreat, Instead – RELOAD!” Palin shouted on the Twittermachine.
And on her Facebook page, Palin displayed a map of her targeted congressional members, with gun sights to locate their districts.
“Well aim for these races and many others,” she writes. “This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington.”
Yep, the common sense of targeting and aiming and salvos…peaceful talk.
Peace to you.
