And quite frankly, this will be my final comment on the whole thing. Outside of the stupidty of the event's name, the criticisms behind today's protests are really non-issues as far as this blog is concerned. The right wing nuts who attended these rallies today aren't necessarily pissed off at their tax rates (they were quite low under George W. Bush, and on April 1 were lowered even still under Barack Obama). No, these simpletons are really just angry over the fact that the Democrats won the White House and increased their majorities in both houses of Congress. The Republican Party is decimated and void of ideas, and that irks the fascists on the far right of the party to no end. They're angry and have no outlet, thus yesterday's "teabagging" events.Then a sign like this showed up on TV. I'm serious...the folks who were holding signs like the one above need to be investigated by the proper authorities. Protesting is one thing, but threatening to kill our elected officials - threatening to kill anybody - is quite another.
Update: They have no idea why they were there today...
