Perhaps if the 2 thugs had drawn a map asking for fundraising dollars to be sent to the area; then maybe the DoJ would have investigated them for trying to incite violence to effect the outcome of an election. Sadly, they just wore paramilitary outfits and carried clubs outside the entrance to a polling place, so obviously they were no threat at all to Democrats voting.
Well, Leland, it’s like this. You know how in the news Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, leading Congress when it passed the sacred Health Care Law, while John Boehner is the Republican leader of the Republican caucus when it passed a politically-charged attack bill at it? One set of folks are august legislators, doing Very Serious Things, while the others are weird changelings that only look, on the surface, like legislators, but have an frivolous rotten core underneath that makes them abuse the system like monkeys banging on the nuclear power plant controls and smearing feces all over the gauges.
So, clearly, there’s voters, and then there’s Republican “voters,” a clever counterfeit no one has yet found a constitutional way of purging. And of course voters weren’t dissuaded from voting, even if some “voters” might have got their knickers into a twist over something or other.
Post-script: it’s a bit like how on NPR there are policy institutes and conservative think tanks, or industry analysts and Republican lobbyists. or nonprofit advocates for the underprivileged and privately-funded critics of government with hearts three sizes too small.
OK, I made the last bit up. Er…I think.
Gee Carl, you seem to be suggeting there really are two Americas.
There are two Americas: Pro and Anti. Currently and for many, many years now, the anti have infested the bureaucracy. The talking heads aren’t anywhere near the worst of it. Consider how many (90,000 claimants) Pigford non-farmers got there $50k.
50,000 x 90,000 = $4,500,000,000.
Hey $50K a year is like a job. Well, a job if your definition is a paycheck that equals a years worth of work. If your definition is labor that adds value to the economy; then…
