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.

..and the sky didn't fall!  I am sooo amazed.  The initial health care reform bill had passed both houses of Congress and will be signed by the President. If nothing else Insurance companies can't go back and deny you a knee replacement because you fell off your bike and got a boo-boo when you were 8 years old.

I'm not too worried about the insurance companies - with 35 million more insurance policies to write - you can bet they won't be losing money on the deal. They never do.

Bart Stupak called 'baby killer' on House floor

But the final passage didn't come without some additional nuttfuckery not only from the Teabaggers but within the halls of Congress as well.  When Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) a staunch anti-abortion advocate finally agreed that the Executive Order promised by President Obama was sufficient protection that federal funds wouldn't be used to pay for abortions one of the Republicans shouted out "Baby Killer" as he explained his reasoning.  So glad those Republicans are engaging in the same type fo civilized discourse that their surrogates the Teabaggers had been responsible for all weekend.

For some reason, though, no one wants to own up to who it was. I can't understand why.

From Think Progress:
GOP lawmaker shrieks ‘baby killer’ at pro-life Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak.

Congressional Representative Calls for Health Care Dissenters to Secede from the Nation.

And at least one Republican thinks he knows how to deal with this problem.

Rep. Steve King floats secession as possible response to health care reform.

Rep King (R-IA) said that secession should be considered.

Bu-bye - Mr. King - don't let the door hit you on the way out!
In fact, I'll pay for a one-way ticket to anywhere on planet earth as long as you promise to go and never come back. Ok?

Here's what Rush had to say for himself when a caller challenged his original statements about not giving aid to Haiti:
From the Think Progress Web Site:
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/01/14/limbaugh-haiti-tampons/

My comments in blue

RUSH: No, I’m not evading it at all. If I said it I meant to say it, and I do believe that everything is political to this president. Everything this president sees is a political opportunity, including Haiti, and he will use it to burnish his credentials with minorities in this country and around the world, and to accuse Republicans of having no compassion. [...] (Obama is political? And your King George didn't politicize every government agency, filling them with cronies and industry insiders. From the DOE, to the DOJ to the FDA and FEMA, people were chosen based on their political connections, not experience in the field.)

CALLER: [A]re you implying that the Huffington Post as the one and only resource that I [read]? I even watch Fox News once in a while.

RUSH: No, no, no, no, no. I’m not implying that. … What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a blockhead. What I’m illustrating here is that you’re a closed-minded bigot who is ill-informed. … And if you had listened to this program for a modicum of time you would know it. But instead you’re a blockhead. You’re mind is totally closed. You have tampons in your ears. Nothing is getting through other than the biased crap that you read. (Rush should stick some tampons in his ears before his shit for brains run out).

Limbaugh also pointed out that it took Obama “three days to go out and talk about the Christmas Day underwear bomber,” but “less than 18 hours to get out there and start rallying people about this earthquake.” (And how long did it take King George to get any substantial aid to our own citizens in New Orleans? Wasn't the then head of FEMA's main organizational experience running a Polo Association?)

And Glenn Beck, Fox newscaster didn't want to be left out of the conversation:

BECK: I also believe this is dividing the nation…to where the nation sees him react so rapidly on Haiti and yet he couldn’t react rapidly on Afghanistan. He couldn’t react rapidly on Ft. Hood. He couldn’t react rapidly on our own airplanes with an underwear bomber…it doesn’t make sense. [...] Three different events and Haiti is the only one. I think personally that it deepens he divide to see him react this rapidly to Haiti. (What divide? Racial? Political? Hey Glenn, when everyone from The Heritage Foundation to Bill O'Reilly and Laura Ingraham disagree with you and Rush, you're probably in the Humanity!FAIL zone).


Sexist? Racist? **So stupid all you can do is shake your head?  That's my opinion. 

** This opinion has not been endorsed by the National Organization for Women, The Urban League, President Obama (though I'm guessing he agrees with me), or my mother.

I'm always impressed when right-to-lifers show such compassion for the already-born.*

Limbaugh

Speaking on his radio show Wednesday, Limbaugh said the earthquake has played into Obama’s hands, allowing the president to look “compassionate” and “humanitarian” while at the same time bolstering his standing in both the “light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country.”

He added: “We've already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.”



Pat Robertson

Speaking about the disaster during his program “The 700 Club” on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Robertson said that when Haiti was still a French colony its leaders “swore a pact to the devil” to get out from “under the heel of the French.”

“They said, ‘we will serve you if you will get us free from the French.’ True story. And so, the devil said, ‘OK, it’s a deal,’” Robertson claimed, as was recorded and sent around by the liberal group Media Matters.

“But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other,” he continued. “That island of Hispaniola is one island. It is cut down the middle on the one side is Haiti the other is the Dominican Republic. Dominican Republic is prosperous, healthy, full of resorts, etc. Haiti is in desperate poverty.”

Robertson, who has a long history of making controversial remarks on his program, urged his followers to pray for the residents of Haiti and said that “out of this tragedy I’m optimistic something good may come.”
