Does this somehow make your posts more meaningful?
Only in my complete and total disgust over what the republican party has become, and how low it's decided to stoop. I used to be proud of it, and try to defend it. Not any more. I'm voting independent (depending on the candidate) now, but I'll vote for moderate R's (if I even have that choice) in a heartbeat if it means taking my party back.
"I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano said, according to the Statehouse News. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."
From your own link, which you seem to have left out.
It may have been a poor choice of words for a motivational speech but he clearly was not explicitly calling for the opposition to be target practice just for exercising their right to dissent.
And you also seem to have grossly overlooked, yet another important tidbit:
"On Wednesday afternoon, Capuano issued a brief apology: "I strongly believe in standing up for worker rights and my passion for preserving those rights may have gotten the best of me yesterday in an unscripted speech. I wish I had used different language to express my passion and I regret my choice of words."
Jeez, violations of our constitutional rights should be loudly and strongly condemned, regardless of your ideological persuasion.

I do however think that tweeting by a state official over using live ammo on a crowd of peaceful protesters, and then when confronted on it, explaining that you meant it, is a problem.
Well it is good to see that he is no longer there.
Yep Thats good now he needs to go to Arizona an apply for a job . I am sure they would be happy with that frame of mine there. good way to stop immigration problems there.
No it isn't ok when the "left" does it, but it there is a difference between an elected official and a public employee.
So are you saying an ELECTED Democrat official is off the hook for INCITING violence? He calls on union thugs to get bloody in the streets when they have a history of doing that very thing.
MATEWAN!!! the goons are back, how long until the rich have their thugs open fire on the people
