Republican Congressman John Sullivan threatened to Kill Senators

Well, it sure didn't take the Republican Party long to go back to threatening to assassinate Democrats and those who disagree with them.

As Congressman John Sullivan of Oklahoma was talking to an Okie Town Hall about how awesome the dreamy Paul Ryan's Deathcare for American Budget was, when he recounted how he "lives with some senators" and continued,
"I yell at them all the time, I grabbed one of them the other day and shook him and I’d love to get them to vote for it. You know but other than me going over there with a gun and holding it to their head and maybe killing a couple of them, I don’t think they’re going to listen unless they get beat.”
Well now, in Sullivan's defense it has been a whole month since Gabby Giffords had to step down after a Tea Party inspired crazy took the Right-Wing eliminationist rhetoric to heart and shot her in the face.

Sullivan is a fine Republican. He's been arrested 4 times, he voted for TARP and Trillions in Welfare to Wall Street but declared the Auto bailout was "rewarding failure", he supported the 2009-2010 Tea Party Rallies and he voted to make the PATRIOT Act permanent. The Right-Wingers in this Nation have been using the threat of violence for years. The Tea Party slogan is We Came Unarmed This Time...

Speaking of reloading...this numb nuts apparently isn't functioning with a FULL load.

Jaded,
None of them are. Jeb Bush even says that the party has gone too far to the right. The inmates have taken over the asylum....

Make damned sure you vote....

Liberalism rests upon a rickety foundation of lies:

after a Tea Party inspired crazy took the Right-Wing eliminationist rhetoric to heart and shot her in the face.

That is a bald-faced lie.

Or as time magazine puts it:

In short, saying Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck caused Loughner's actions is, to put it charitably, completely idiotic.

Time magazine is biased.

Oh wait!!! That only works when Newtradamus or Sarah Palin want to accuse the Liberal Lamestream Media of bias against them!!!

I will not mention that murders name but point out what I noted last year:

[O]f course this murderer fits the profile of a Tea Party member, with his fear of a government, illiterate pleas for the sovereignty of the Individual versus the State and his gold backed currency mumblings.

And he's a registered Independent, which until now, has been cherished by the Right as meaning Tea Party member.

I don't think Sullivan's going to come to his senses until you take his skull off with a compassion axe. Just a saying.

Scraping the bottom, Gene.

The guy didn't even know what a tea party was, but he did read Marx, which makes a liberal, if anything.
