Simply stated, you can't call someone who won more than 300 electoral votes a tyrant.
You can't claim the government will take your guns away when you are allowed to carry one to a town hall meeting with your member of Congress.
You can't say you don't like big government or paying taxes AND support our troops at the same time.
And of course, you can't say a public option is socialism when you are on, or about to use/collect, Medicare and Social Security.
If you do any of the above, you are stupid. And a conservative Republican.
Hopefully, this far right hysteria will back fire - both on the Hill when it's time to vote on health care and energy legislation this fall, but more importantly with the average American vote.
A few more rants:
- You can't yell 'You Lie' to someone who is NOT lying (that makes YOU a liar);
- Did anyone ever yell 'You Lie' to the recent president who DID lie, about going to war?;
- The last time a South Carolinian got this mad - with a pent up rage sparked by losing an election - was 1861. But I guess this is progress. Then residents of the Palmetto State fired upon Fort Sumter and the American flag, this time they 'only' heckled the President.
- You can never - ever - give a white southerner (and by that I mean Protestant, not Catholic, Jewish and of course Greek) from the deep south - SC, GA, MS, AL, LA - the benefit of the doubt. At best, they are stupid, at worst they are racist.
- One last blast at Wilson and his home state. To me, you can draw a straight line from slavery to Fort Sumter, through Jim Crow to Strom 'Raped My Colored Help and Fathered a Child" Thurmond, around to the Hiking Adulterer Hypocrite Governor and finally end up at Rep. Joe Wilson. Quite a state.
