Reply #99: Good for your husband [View All]

[Neurotica]

That's encouraging to hear from a physician's perspective. Our conversation with my MIL turned into one on healthcare (this is while she was tuning out) and my husband tried to explain to her why MSM fixations on silly RW talking points like "death panels" prevents people from having legitimate discussions on public policy points. I really wanted to ask my MIL how she felt about her medicare!

The problem is that the people in charge of events such as this "Restore the Constitution" rally know exactly what they are doing in terms of manipulating the fears of low-information voters, or sadly, people with prejudice or anti-government feelings. All it takes is one slightly unhinged person...

I still don't understand why she won't accept the fact that there are people that are actively encouraging violence. Even the WaPo article points out that some gun-rights groups are staying away from this rally because the atmosphere is too toxic.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should, and this particular rally is clearly not right.
