First, They Came for the Doctors

First, Scott Roeder, now the Holocaust Museum shooter. The wingnuts are growing bolder and more dangerous. Is there anything more quintessentially American than the lone gunman festering in his mother's basement?

I hear and see the growing hatred of these angry little men, on talk radio and the Internet especially. Rush Limaugh, Bill "Louffa" O'Reilly, Michael Savage: You all have blood on your hands!

"Happiness is a warm gun," wrote John Lennon, who himself was the tragic victim of a lone nutjob's weapon. Is there any surprise that the right-wing kooks are also rabid in their defense of so-called "Second Amendment Rights"?

I think we all need to be prepared for an upswing in violence on the part of that tiny minority who cannot accept that America is changing under their feet. First, they come after the abortionists, then the Jews... No one is safe from the hate-mongering.
