Is there no decency left in the GOP?

The GOP has never been known for their charm, however, their recent tactics have gone beyond the pale. They're using inciteful language, and whipping their most extreme supporters into a frenzy. The result? There have been several incidents where bricks have been thrown though the windows of members of Congress or Democratic offices. The brother of one Congressman had the gas line cut at his house after a blogger published his home address. Another extreme group is planning a demonstration at the home of another Congressman.

In addition, today the GOP basically brought the Senate to a halt, for no purpose other than to inconvenience everyone. Most committee meetings were halted, including meetings on homeless vets, our policy in Afghanistan, and tensions in North Korea. Looks like they were doing this to protest healthcare reform, but their actions did nothing to delay healthcare, they only inconvenienced veterans and military officers.

It's not that there's no decency in the GOP left.

There's no GOP left.

When was the decency in evidence?

The GOP prides themselves with this sort of conduct.

These terrorist won't be happy until someone ends up dead. Bill O'Reilly actually believes he and Fox News had nothing to do with the death of Dr.George Tiller.

Both my parents and my entire family were all Republicans. My Mom became an Independent when GW Bush "took" office in 2001. My Dad followed about a year later. My entire family who were all mostly Republicans are all now Independents and a few have become Democrats. I am working on the other Independents in my family.Cousins I use to argue with at family events over conservative values are no agreeing with me and bashing the politicians they were defending 2-3 years ago.I've had very little to do with this. It's all been the actions of the Republican party.

Ann Curry really went after him about Palin's Facebook page. McCain basically stood there with a goofy smile on his face.

i have hacked into bww and delivered your details to the queen of the teabaggers, her highness sarah p. you will all pay! pay i say!!

please. like no one here read du for the last 8 years. just because the threats and contemplations of death and worse were kept under wraps and not splashed across the front pages don't mean they weren't there.

sure the gop is currently in a major crisis. had hcr not passed the stories would be all about the schism about to tear the democrats apart. but now the battle for what's left of the gop coalition of fiscal conservatives, social conservatives and bat-sh*t crazy anti-government loons is being played out on the front pages.

don't worry, barry will declare martial law soon enough and label anyone who disagrees with him as an enemy of the state and begin the re-education efforts along with the state control of all aspects of civilian life. i mean those we're the very dire prospects predicted by some here when bush was president. gay gulags! martial law! halliburton and blackwater controlling the entire country!

the difference is that your side is mostly a buncha pussies who sit around plotting revolution and talking incendiery rhetoric and my side actually kills people and blows **** up. which is wrong. but that's the way it is. maybe deep down your side knew all along that it was full of sh*t and was merely bloviating and fear-mongering so there was no need for any real action. well, the right wingers actually believe the rhetoric and by god are not gonna go quietly!

as far as consequences, the democrats are still gonna lose a ****load of seats, but i think the gop will too. at least a lot of incumbents will get booted because people are scared and don't trust congress. the gop's tearing itself apart at the seams and will continue to do so, but will gain ground this fall - with some more loons getting in after primarying sitting congress critters.

the hate has come home to roost.

Windows were shattered at four Democratic offices in New York, Arizona and Kansas and at least 10 members of Congress have reported some sort of threats, leaders said. No arrests had been made as of Wednesday, but the FBI is investigating.

Democratic Underground posters didn't throw bricks through windows, did they?
Dems deal with threats over health care support

PJ, papa covered that in this section, which should really be put on a plaque somewhere:

Mister Matt, hearing about your sister in law just makes me sick.I work with someone who had a similar problem in their family the other day. It really is a civil war isn't it? I heard one local radio host today ask what happens if Democrats win big in 2010? Seems like a GOP Victory this November is the only thing keeping thee nuts going. The only thing they have to look forward to. If the Democrats win in November,what will they do?

They were just talking about the Palin website on the View. Even Elisabeth Hassle-biotch was disgusted.

All I know is, the quality of writing on this site has skyrocketed recently. Kudos.
