Do these wonderful people realize that when they point fingers at someone else, only one finger is pointed at their target, the other four are pointed back at them? Also vitrol spoils the digestion and I'll just bet these people (can I really call them that word? I don't want to call them animals because no animal vomits such garbage. The closest I can come is to call them vultures), probably are suffering a great deal from digestive problems that no antacid can ameliorate! Their faces are most likely red and sweating from the pain caused their innards by the vitrol they spout. Shame, shame, shame!

Like 90% of "conservatives" I know, these callers know little of debate, beyond slogans, and they're legislatively illiterate. They're morally inconsistent. I often wonder how one could collect real data on their need for some sense of general superiority, to working women at least.

A Goldwater quote the teabaggers ought to read

Those who do not care for our cause, we don't expect to enter our ranks in any case. And let our Republicanism, so focused and so dedicated, not be made fuzzy and futile by unthinking and stupid labels.

You know it's funny how these threats are being attributed to conservatives. follow this link http://thehill.com/homenews/house/87519-its-been-a-living-hell-says-rep-stupak and you can see that most of Stupak's quotes are word for word from a report on 3-18, BEFORE THE VOTE. At that point Stupak was the most notorious dem because he had publically stated he would vote against the health care bill if it included abortion. If I am correct, then the threats at the time were coming from pro-choice individuals or democratic followers.

The irony of all this is that if this country were an airplane, the Republican party has done the metaphorical equivalent to flying it into the World Trade Center for the past 8 years. It seems they are hell-bent on inhibiting progress if not reversing it. The post neocon Republican falls into one of 3 categories:
1. power hungry misanthropic sycophant - Republican politicians
2. talking point regurgitating drone - a la the listeners of Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Savage, Cavuto, O'Reilly, etc.
3. racist sociopath - your teabagger ilk.

I'm surprised that none of these true patriots left their phone numbers so he could call them back and debate their most salient points with them.

Poster fairfax claims he was receiving like threats from the left but fails to document this.

All the callers seem to be taking him to task because he has voted pro choice. I was under the impression that he had held his ground on that issue. Could it be that the Einsteins on tape don't even know what they are talking about?

I am totally astounded by the threats to which I have just listened. It just doesn't seem possible in 21th century America. Of course most of the people vocalizing the threats seem to have a Southern accent, and we all know that the South is a few decades behind the rest of the country, and the intelligence level of the populace drops off dramatically, once one ventures below Washington D.C. It makes one wonder if this group got the moniker "Tea Party" from "Insani"ty" or stupidi"ty". You are a disgrace to America.
