In the summer of Bush’s first-year in office the lights were blinking red with threats from al-Qaeda. In the summer of Obama’s first-year in office, the lights are blinking red with the threats from our own right-wing citizenry. When the Department of Homeland Security released a report on this threat they were shouted down and Secretary Napolitano was forced to apologize. But, the attacks began just as predicted, and the longer this goes on the more likely it is that something is gonna blow. Republican leaders need to find a way to let some pressure out of the balloon, but they’re doing the exact opposite. When people die, I’m going to be pointing my finger straight at them.
And if Glenn Beck isn’t reprimanded for fantasizing about poisoning Nancy Pelosi on FOX News last night, then News Corp. is going to deserve direct blame too. You can’t allow people to make comments like that on the air. It’s dangerous.
