Make your prediction: The first dscharge of a firearm at a town hall meeting will happen in ........
..... a few hours? A few days? A few weeks? Never?
I'm thinking it could be within a week. I am virtually certain more than a few town hall attendees thus far have been armed; just not sufficiently provoked. I do, indeed, believe Democratic officials are in danger.
Think back to what was discussed right here as far back as 2006 when we started winning again. The prediction was they would begin to act like cornered animals. It didn't happen then. But the climate is far more incendiary today as they continue to lose. It is being fomented by that crazy radio ****, Limbaugh, those other crazy radio ****s like Beck and Hannity, and by a major political party's former candidate for the second highest office in the country. It is being funded by big money, the hatred is. The flames are being fanned in a very concerted effort. Limits no longer appear to exist.
It is very dangerous out there. And as Bush and The Dick used to say ....... it just takes one.
The only danger Democrat officials face is that of not being re-elected.

11. That already happened...at a townhall last year. Remember "don't tase me, bro"?
Wasn't that one where the Bostonian Billionaire was speaking down in Florida somewhere, and a left-wing wacko extremist was heckling him?

3. By the end of this weekend
The crazies have no choice but to escalate this weekend because the MSM will lose interest if theres no escalation in violence by early next week.
Without the TV coverage they're just a bunch of loud pro business interest cranks.

5. Let's just hope this doesn't happen.
But the sparkling husband primitive wants it to happen. It's s-o-o-o obvious.

6. Never.
I'll be disappointed if Obama and senators & representatives of both parties don't all come together and demonstrate some leadership, telling everyone to calm the **** down and act like adults.
Before the weekend's over.
It was cute when it was just the Repubs shouting and looking like idiots, but this can't be allowed to escalate.

10. A small town in Texas, up to two weeks from now. People here can be dense and slow, so I doubt they'll figure out that the secret is out for awhile.

14. It really could happen any time.
Look at the wingnuts that have already gone around the bend. The guy in Pittspurgh who killed cops. The white supremecist Birther who killed the guard at the holocaust museum. The wingnut influenced by Beck and Hannity who shot up a chruch of "liberals".
All it takes is one lone nut, and the ****ers have the nutburgers whipped up ionto a froth.

15. Add Dr. Tiller's murderer to that list
Someone convinced that guy that if Dr. Tiller was murdered the "baybee killinz" would stop.
You know, this is really weird.
As most know, red Nebraska has one blue senator.
He's having nothing but a lot of fun and good feelings at his town hall meetings.
One wonders why other blue senators and congressmen from blue states aren't.
