The right has had its death squads and assassination teams, both here and abroad.

From the plot to overthrow FDR, to the assassination of JFK, MLK, and RFK, to the character assassination of Carter to the "impeachment" of Clinton to the stolen election of 2000 to all the shit being thrown at Obama; from Diebold to waterboarding to pepperspraying to tasering; from "retroactive immunity" to TARP; from "Citizens United" to voter-suppression laws; the rightwing always gets want it wants.

Oh, but we can always vote every two years!
