UPDATE: Health Care Reform Bill Signed by President - Followed by Even More Teabagger Nutfuckery

Update (10:00 pm local time): 

And on Monday, a former Alabama militia leader took credit for instigating the actions (vandalism).

“We can break their windows,” he said. “Break them NOW. And if we do a proper job, if we break the windows of hundreds, thousands, of Democrat party headquarters across this country, we might just wake up enough of them to make defending ourselves at the muzzle of a rifle unnecessary.”

Kristallnacht?  No, but don't kid yourselves.  This is how it starts.  And every decent person, Republican or Democrat or Independent or whatever, should condemn these acts and call for the vigorous prosecution of these criminals. 
 
That means you Beck, Limbaugh, Bennett, O'Reilly, Hannity, Drudge, Neugebauer, and the Republican National Committee .  Are you on the side of violence and intimidation or not?  Do you believe in the rule of law or the rule of the mob? Do you think threats toward people's children are OK or not?

Its time to stand up and be counted.


__________

Vandals hit at least five Dem offices nationwide, threaten to ‘assassinate’ children of pro-reform lawmakers.

It wasn't enough to yell racial and gay slurs at black and gay members of the congress.  It wasn't enough to leave messages with swastikas for a Jewish member of Congress. It wasn't enough to send faxes with a noose on it to a black member of Congress.

It wasn't enough to stand outside the Congress with signs which read "If Brown doesn't change it, Browning will" along with a picture of a handgun.

It wasn't enough to scream 'baby-killer' at a staunch pro-life Congressman who actually had the courage to realize that you can take care of the already born and avoid using Federal funds for abortion.

No, it wasn't enough.  Now you threaten children.

YOU THREATEN CHILDREN - REALLY WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?  HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF PRO-LIFE AND THEN THREATEN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN.

Go look up hypocrite and sociopath in the dictionary.  Just don't be surprised if you find your picture there as well.

Blaming the Victim - The Damnation of Faust & Trust

Blaming the Victim

 

The Damnation of Faust – Hector Berloiz, Lyric Opera

Trust – by David Schwimmer, Lookingglass Theater

 

Let me first start by saying that this review has no pretensions of being a scholarly work. But having seen these two works performed in less than a week, I was struck by the similar themes running through both works.

 

Both stories revolve around the seduction of an innocent and how the victim as well as society views the victim in the aftermath.
