Doonesbury Say What?

"What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country."
— Rush Limbaugh on Dems

Uh, what? Wait. You're saying that there is a major political party that condones assassination and murder for people who don't agree with their specific beliefs? Aside from some nut job alleged right to lifers?

Or is he illustrating the total logical disconnect of someone who murdered a 9 year old girl and a Federal judge while trying to kill a congresswoman and Loughner's alleged perception of reality through clever sarcasm? Somehow I don't think so.

I'd love to say "Reality check, table 4!", but it would bounce so high it could damage the International Space Station.

...uh, Rush. You hit the truth, but unintentionally - I think it's either the Republicans or the Tea Party that are the ones who would fully support him. Even as they backpedal away and say they don't.

I'm sure there are some republicans and tea baggers who are sitting watching TV quietly going "Yes!", but they can't ever publicly say it.

Such a bloody mess. I just hope there will be a reduction in the rhetoric, but I ain't holding my breath.

Considering that plenty of them said point-blank that they weren't backing down when asked, I don't think the rhetoric is going to be dialed down one iota, at least from the side that seems to believe that violence is a justifiable means to their ends.
