There is a diffferance between a majority and the violent few. The racist right wants to lynch and burn then they dont like what it going on but when looting was going on in NOLA they suddenly were on the side of shooting anyone who did not look right. What if the left started to shoot into crowds of tea baggers?
get off the computer and get back to your homework, before your mom catches you.
It's disappointing that so many of you are hoping for violence.
I'm not hoping for violence, but hoping that they now live with anxiety while holding their seat because of their disregard (on the most part) to what their constituents wanted.
The far left didn't get their single payer healthcare. This bill was probably the ebst thing to ever happen to the big insurance companies, as people will be forced to buy insurance, but there's no controls on the price.
No, we did not (I'm pretty far to the left, and am disappointed in the bill for reasons that would probably make your head explode), but the thought of threatening violence never once occurred to me, just as threatening violence against those who supported the economic and political policies of Bush or Reagan also never occurred to me, despite being virulently opposed to them. We are a nation of laws, and a democratic country, if we condone violence and threats of violence to exercise our political will over the rule of law, then we are lessor for it.

I don't recall Tae Partiers raping ,robbing and looting people like some in NO did . Innocent people have a right to protection from criminals . Instead they disarmed the innocent so the criminals ran free . I know a cop who lived there during this chaos, he left that place for good . he said many of the things done were not even covered by the news .
Why they fear is they remember the violnece the liberal democrats support in the 60's happen . Hopefully we will not see it get to levels like in chicago during the democratic national convention ro even when the G20 meeet now days.

However, the entitlement types, especially those involved with violent crime to begin with, who think they were entitled to it may have no problem with threatening violence. Which was my point.
Lets put it this way when you have such a blantant disregard for the American people, you are going to have a backlash, and it has been a long time comin.
