GOP Fascism undeterred: Gun crosshairs found on Missouri senators' doors

[JohnWxy]

a few years ago I posted a piece entitled: "I Long for the Good Ol' Days, when Ignorance wasn't considered a Political Position" ..http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=103&topic_id=197263

.... seems like things are worse now than when I wrote that post..... thanks to GOP politicians inflammatory rhetoric which fosters more ignorance by celebrating it.

(CNN) -- Five Missouri state senators, all Democrats, found stickers resembling rifle crosshairs on the doors to their Capitol offices Tuesday as the legislature debated health care reform, several senators said.

"This is a very open act," said Sen. Maria Chappell-Nadal, who said she was taking it as a serious threat.

Police presence in the hallways of the capitol in Jefferson City was stepped up after the discovery, Chappell-Nadal said.

Capitol police and the Missouri State Highway Patrol have taken the brass nameplates where the small orange stickers were placed, she said. A police spokesman would not comment to CNN.

1. Is this the same Dem

whose cat was killed and put on his doorstep? Regardless if it is or not, the people who perpetrate this kind of terrorism should be behind bars for a good length of time, as they ARE terrorists and nothing less.

6. Thanks for clarifying

We now are well aware that there are plenty of people in this country who have been raised to be mean, cruel, evil and warped. These incidents only clarify who is to blame, and political grandstanding shows it's mostly those on the right perpetrating it.

Some of these things really do require criminal charges, and the fucked up freaks who do these kinds of things should never be ignored. Take those people and put them in a Supermax and forget the key--perhaps a little hyperbolic, but it's far better to put real offenders into prison and set free the prisoners who have never committed a capital offence, drug addicts, who are non-violent and send them to a proper rehab facility, and help Project Innocence free others who have wrongly imprisoned.

Anyone who kills an animal, or who is obsessed with politicians in a completely negative fashion is definitely batshit crazy, and a menace to society.

3. Oh, those aren't "Gun Crosshairs"

4. I agree with

The title and content of this, and your past post. *However* this article in no way fixes blame effectively enough to make change a realistic possibility. The fact is, that we are all in this together. We are all complicit in furthering this agenda, if for no other reason than our complacency. There are too many payoffs. Too many mouths at the trough. And way too many peepul happy with their Pizza Hut delivery, and their Nintendo.

I'm up for real solutions. But as far as I can tell, just about half of the nation believes that Republicans are RIGHT! How many of our tax dollars are spent in marketing campaigns, and focus groups?

Education, education! Great. In the meantime, we are taking it up the butt, and saddling our childrens future with debt. This system is broken, and Democrats are playing by the same set of rules as the rest of the D.C. establishment.

You can't get elected if you don't get the money. You know the rest of the story, and the Supreme Court says it's ok.

And now! Orange stickers! I wonder, if we survive, what the history books will tell of the "mad" years.
