Watching the guy from New Hampshire, 9mm Glock-Man, being interviewed on Hardball made me want to throttle Chris Matthews. There are limits and they are being crossed every day. Stephanie Zvan has something you should read at Almost Diamonds: "To My Conservative Friends and Colleagues"

This post could be like the end of the movie Casa Blanca, with two versions, because I know two Stephanies with birthdays today.
One is my oldest friend in Minnesota, long time partner in various adventures in life, best 'man' at my wedding, and is seen here sending laser beams out into space:…
I know, I know, I don't usually do politics, but Rush is really chapping my ass right about now. His comments are always outrageously hate-filled diatribes, and he's getting harder to ignore every day. What's worse, his followers eagerly suckle at the teat intolerance, finding solace in his…
The subject of evolution has come up twice on recent editions of the MSNBC show Hardball, hosted by Chris Matthews. Our host has just discovered that the Republicans have a problem with science, you see, and has decided to explore this troubling development.
Better late than never, I suppose.…
As you know you can see everyone who's registered for the conference, but I highlight 4-6 participants every day as this may be an easier way for you to digest the list. You can also look at the Program so see who is doing what.

The GOP has made lying one of its top priorities in election campaigns and that bitch Palin has told some real doozers during the last presidential campaign (including the "Obama is not a US citizen"). Typical GOP blabber includes:
Democrats will take away your guns
Dems will let the Mixicans across the border
Dems will tax you more
and the parade of lies goes on endlessly.
The GOP's strategy since the Nixon campaigns has been to lie and coddle the looneys, thus bolstering the whacko beliefs of the lunatic fringe (hey, just look at the crazy shit the last president did). The GOP is poisoning the country. Lincoln's party has become the biggest promulgator of lies, paranoia, and conspiracies. I hope the GOP splits; that way we can have the Democrats, GOP, and the lunatic party - and hopefully a sensible party gets the vote.
Unfortunately such chicanery is not limited to the USA; the whole world is screwed with most political parties attempting to garner votes by lying and scaremongering rather than talking about real issues. That's why I don't worry about global warming - thanks to politics nothing substantial can be done in any reasonable time.
If a genuine dissenter showed up with a gun, he would be shot dead by the police.
CRM-114, please define "genuine dissenter" and explain why that death would be acceptable. Part of the tragedy is that the right is creating its own brand of suicide bombers. Also, like most martyrs to the cause with access to modern technology, that guy is going to take people with him.
It is worrisome that "taking people with him" is so normal sounding in the context of American boyz with toyz shoot-em up culture.
Why the hostility toward Matthews, Greg? I thought he was pretty clear on a desire for limits on guns at Presidential events. Was there something you wanted asked that wasn't, or what?
