Advocating the violent overthrow of a legitimate DEMOCRACY is something straight outta NAZI Germany. |

Is hatred of democracy at the heart of Teabag-ism?
Is hatred and fear of election outcomes the prime source of hatred coming from the Right Wing?
Authoritarians loathe the loss of control at the ballot box and their seething hatred shows it.
Knowing America's changing demographics, they fear elections.
An example of a historical figure who also hated legitimate democracy and everything democracy stands for...
Adolph Hitler.
Authoritarian minds think alike.

1. I am not arguing against your rant, |

but you lost me at "legitimate DEMOCRACY". How so?
Have you ever read up on that? Maybe some Chomsky, et al?

2. I wish they would ;prosecute these people to make example of them. |

Buy letting someone who goes on the net and encourages people to commit violence should be held as an accomplice for the violence. Bricks thrown at windows is not free speech.

One of the most sacred principles of the American democracy is rule by majority vote. They seem to have conveniently ignored that at the moment.

4. Majority rule is sacred to them only when they are the majority |
|
When they are a minority, they re-define minority rights to mean minority rule.
