The skidmarked underwear primitive, the glum disconsolate older middle-aged farmwife in eastern Iowa, who wishes to see more hooliganism and violence during political campaigns:

Has this effin' nation gone collectively nuts?
What the hell is going on. I just read that bit about Jan Schawkowsky. Then there's this crap with birthers, deathers, and ACORN espionage. What the hell is going on? There aren't enough of us to stand up and shout "Shame" to these people or to bring defamation suits against them or complaints to the media for publishing stuff without fact checking? People's lives are being destroyed and endangered not only by poor policy but by these thuggish naysayers. I have a couple of Rs in this state I'm going to let know that I will call them out in LTTEs and shame them for not condemning these tactics and supporting them by their silence.
Lest anyone forget, about three years ago when there was a primitive bonfire describing a couple of Republicans being threatened and assaulted at a meeting somewhere in northern Virginia, the skidmarked underwear primitive commented, "Good, I wish we'd see more of this sort of thing."

1. The batshit insane have become mainstream and rationality has become the extreme.
This obviously extends beyond political alignment.

3. They aren't mainstream. What has become mainstream is the silence and passive permission being given to them to be bullies and thugs.

2. PS. I encourage you all to do the same.
Flood the print media and congressmen and senators at all levels with condemnation of this crap. Shame them! Shame, shame, shame! And don't be afraid to shame your neighbors too.

7. Don't think like an Elephant
good intro as to what is going on.
Most people do not THINK... they react.
You go for the emotions, you got them.
Big mistake many liberals make, thinking that if they go for the facts people will turn around. Guess what? Nope, emotion is far more powerful.
Just that some folks have figured this out, and the rest refuse to acknowledge it.
And yes, that explains deathers, and acorn... both are reaching for the fear of the other... and very effectively thank you.

8. Been brewing since '80
Electing an actor who said he could simultaneously...
1) Decrease taxes
2) Increase spending, and
3) Balance the budget
...was pretty ****ing crazy already.
Well now, franksolich is greatly confused.
Apparently the skidmarked underwear primitive is getting what she asked for, three years ago, more hooliganism and violence in political discourse.
She's getting what she asked for.
So now why is she so upset and bent out of shape about it?
