Fear and Loathing in Politics

There have been reports lately of Tea Party members using calling people names, throwing bricks through windows, engaging in other acts of political incivility. Some of these reports are undocumented (what other people would call "lies") or omit minor details (the "right wing" militia extremist who voted Democrat for eight elections in the last ten years), but some are correct; because of that, we are being told to regard Tea Partiers and other small government as mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging angry ignorant uneducated racist white bigoted redneck Neanderthal psychopaths who are a threat to us all.

However, while we're panicking over Tea Partiers, we must not lose sight of two other groups of even more dangerous rabid crazed killers and extremists--namely, journalists and politicians. According to an alert issued by The Media Violence Project / Center for the Study of Political Sociopathy, large numbers of journalists have been accused of everything from animal cruelty to premeditated murder. Politicians, it need hardly be said, have been accused of even more heinous crimes. Just as a few Tea Party brick-lobbers prove the whole movement is made up of gun-toting rednecks, so too do the examples of journalistic and political depravity prove that every member of either pursuit is criminal to the core. I urge you to read "Journo-politico Violence: Deadly Threat or Menacing Trend?", and then stock up on guns, ammo, and...more ammo, I guess.
