There's an awful lof of Tea-Baggers Posting on DU... [View all]

I posted, earlier, a short treatise on right-wing terror.

The central theme of my piece was simple enough to wrap your head around:

"Conservatives will blame anything and everything (for the terrorism killing progressives in America) but modern-day conservatism, which preaches that liberals and democrats are the bona fide enemies of America and threats to the nation's very existence.

Only the most naive or apologetic of political observers could doubt that different right-wing conservatives would deal with the perceived threat liberals and democrats pose to them in different ways, and that some would, inevitably, resort to violence.

And as long as that is the case, as long as liberals and democrats are "the enemy" the bodies will continue to pile up."

I've received almost 100 responses, and a full half of them attempted to refute the conclusion I came to, namely that liberal democrats are surrounded and under siege from some heavily armed, blood-thirsty right-wingers.

But no one... NO ONE... challenged my assertion that "right-wing conservatives would deal with the perceived threat liberals and democrats pose to them in different ways, and that some would, inevitably, resort to violence."

I don't see how someone could accept my premise about conservative psychology, and NOT also accept my conclusions.

Yet... dozens have done just that.

Where's the disconnect? I can only assume that Tea Baggers, with their twisted, hypocritical world-view, are writing most of the responses here at the Democratic Underground.

And that's a damn shame.
