Is no one sane? (Political)
I was supposed to be headed to bed, but the news caught my eye.
Brad Goehring, a Republican candidate for Congress in California's 11th district, wrote on his Facebook page:
"If I could issue hunting permits, I would officially declare today opening day for liberals. The season would extend through November 2 and have no limits on how many taken as we desperately need to 'thin' the herd."
That's not even the worst part, that's an old right-wing "joke". A spokeperson for the Tea Party came out and said that he was a "good person" with a "good heart and a good spirit" and she was sure the media was overreacting about the statement.
Does no one have a grip on reality? What the hell is up with these right-wing folks? Sarah Palin pulled this crap as well (people had to "reload" against the liberals). What is it with right-wing people* that they think it's okay to make death threats against people they don't agree with?
This makes my head hurt so much...
(*Yes, every right-winger isn't sitting at home cleaning their guns, but this is their leadership, people who they would vote for, did vote for...)
