Wisconsin threats: Alligator tears from the right
(One of those dilemmas as to whether to link to HuffPo or something like ClownHall)
It has been one of our observations that when the mainstream media hasn't work itself into a lather over some right-wing talking point, they say that it is being ignored. Our media consumption is a little different from most so the threats being made in WI (from both sides) were already on the radar. There are idiots of all persuasions and it appears we've hit one of those periods in our political history where statements about seeking 2nd Amendment solutions have taken on what seems mainstream acceptance. A telling moment for us was the recent example of Georgia's Rep. Paul Broun simply deflecting when asked who's going to shoot President Obama. Broun was able to escape any real consequences from his failure to confront the notion by simply issuing an apology afterwards.
Amidst the recall efforts coming from recent Repug anti-union efforts in WI there will be a massive roll out of a Repug campaign to paint all the folks behind the recalls as nasty extremists.
