> [@Merneith](#): > > Yes. And don’t forget - we’re the ones who are the problem, for being concerned about it. I’m sure a Republican apologist will be along any minute to tell us how we’re overreacting. Actually a recent Gallup poll indicated that fully 50% of the respondents blamed the Democratic Party for the right-wing violence and incitements. 😕 :eek: ☹ ---

It’s always a good idea to accost someone in a parking lot and take him to task for his politics. Take me, for instance: I have a strict policy of “you leave me alone, I’ll leave you alone”. I have to agree with the first response to that article in the OP: Any teabagger who stops my car is going to get more than he bargained for. ---

Wasn’t there a poster here whose sig said something like, “Words are important. You are responsible for the words you use.”? That seems to be relevant. ---

As a gun owning, SUV driving, middle of the road mostly democrat that voted for Obama and understands what a mess GWB left for his successor. I’m on board too. The GOP are a bunch of children that are stomping their feet because they did not get their way. ---

The teabaggers certainly contain some crazies. The crazies are as likely to hear the word “shoe” as an incitement to violence as Palin’s statement. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Points to the stupidity of the opposition. Obama is anything but stupid. Palin is. To them, the actual meaning of the words don’t have to make sense just as long as they can turn a phrase. Like when they wave placards saying, “Obama’s Plan / White Slavery.” White slavery is specifically a term that currently refers to sexual exploitation.\* I’ve seen some of those out there frothing at the month. Sexual exploitation? No thanks. - I doubt any of the Tea Baggers would really know it’s obscure, historical reference to white men being brought from English debtor prisons to the colonies; certainly none of their target audience would. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Points to the stupidity of the opposition. Obama is anything but stupid. Palin is. “Stupid” = “I hate you” It’s not as if they’re trying to make any kind of case for Obama’s policies being poorly planned or conceived, or to put up any kind of counter-argument, and most of their criticism concerns his being a pointy-headed, over-educated out-of-touch ideologue. It’s just like a small child saying that adults are “stupid,” which means that they have power over him and they don’t like it.
