You know it's ugly when...

I have often said that, particularly over the last several years, the GOP and conservatives are eating and will eat their own. But wow, all joking aside, it is becoming very very ugly.

When Bart Stupak, the guy who made a deal with Obama who will actually sign an executive order confirming that federal funds will never fund abortions, starts getting death threats from folks calling him a "baby killer", you know it's bad.

And the conservative democrats are not alone. Republicans are getting threats, having windows broken and even Rep Cantor had shots taken at his office.

And all John Beohner can say - somewhat insincerely I might add - is that this kind of behavior is "unacceptable".

Sadly, he, his fellow republicans, pundits and various commentators, don't seem to get it. They were the ones who fanned the flames of such behavior, anger and hate. Their fearmongering has led to this...and they are not handling it well. They made the monster, now they have to learn how to tame it...
It appears, though, they like the excitement of the monster and how much it's made the news too much to reigh it in just yet.


I always like to believe that folks with this much hate in their hearts just did not have enough love in their lives. But perhaps, they also have not let enough in..because they've been made afraid...

It's like how Rush Limbaugh, despite claiming that he would leave the country if the healthcare bill passed, can't leave. He's afraid of "socialist medicine", which he would get most likely have to deal with in most other countries; he can't go to Africa 'cuz there are too many black people and we know he doesn't like them; and then there's the fact that he's got issues with foreigners...see, all that fear can be hazardous to your health...

KEEP PAYING ATTENTION!!!

Peace --Alex
