(347 posts)I will likely be banned from DU, but, WTF.
EVERY GODDAM PROGRESSIVE BLOG has the same rule: When the rightwingers start a gunfight, we should respond with a few verses of "Kumbaya."
I can't tell you how many posts of mine have been deleted from DailyKos, DU, and other so-called Democratic or Progressive blogs because I advocated vicious, hard-hitting FACT-BASED attacks on Republicans, Tea Baggers and other scum. Oh, no, you can't do that.
True story. I live in a 70% Republican rural Virginia county. We do not have trash pickup so weekly I load up the household garbage in my F250 pickup and go to the dump site. My truck is festooned with bumper stickers: Vietnam Vet, US Army Retired, Ranger, Airborne, Special Forces, Remington, Weatherby Firearms, Proud Democrat, Clinton-Kaine 2016, and the like. Back before the election an asshole with a Tea Party license plate approached me while I was emptying papers into the recycle bin. "Every goddam one of you Democrats should be shot." I ignored him. He persisted. I then asked him if he was going to do the shooting. "I just may get my pistol and do it." I replied: "Fine. There's a .45 under my front seat. You had best get yours before I get mine." The sonofabitch turned, almost fell down running away. That's the ONLY way to deal with these people. They must be confronted forcefully and with resolve. Slap the shit out of them -- metaphorically, literally if you must.
Ok, DU moderators, ban me.
