Poll question: DUers, how long before the pitchforks and torches come out?
Edited on Wed Dec-17-08 08:39 PM by Mika
Watching KO this evening I saw a couple of people protesting cutbacks and corruption at organizational meetings with attempted shoe throwing.

The angst and anger is rapidly growing.

Looks like the Big 3/unions are going down. (((gulp)))

How long before the pitchforks and torches?

1. I'm upset, but not really at President Obama.
I'm upset because he feels that such noxious, toxic assholes should be included. I say, 'Fuck them!' But President Obama feels otherwise, and that is something I just can't comprehend.

2. This is scary shit
Wait till the rednecks figure out to what extent they have been betrayed. It won't be like a sixties peace march,.. peace and love with flowers and free love and pot etc. Picture an angry rednecks protest...:mad: :nuke:

4. Soon, but... it will be squelched FAST.
Self-expression is constitutionally guaranteed, and so is self-DEFENSE. Rioting mobs, however, can be met and subdued with "appropriate force".

So, if the pitchforks come out, the National Guard will be right behind them.

6. I dunno. The wealthy may have dealt themselves out when they decided
to just send the poor and minorities to do all their dirt for them. Now we have the keys to the ships, tanks, and planes.

7. That is the photo we need, but it will take a major act of courage by someone or some group.

9. Just as soon as Obama takes office and the whole thing can be blamed on him
The Republicans will come out in swarms, pointing the finger, demanding impeachment...

See US Democrats are too nice to raise hell, but they will...unwarranted as it may be...for all the wrong reasons...
