Is anyone surprised that someone called in a bomb threat to Grover Norquist’s office? The amount of stress the anti-tax Republicans are putting on people, globally, is immense. People are looking at financial ruin because of their antics, and it’s inevitable that some people are going to crack. Destroying people’s life’s savings, jacking up their adjustable rate loans, causing a new wave of lay-offs…do the Republicans really expect that no one will decide that they won’t wait passively for these things to be done to them?
It’s inexcusable to issue bomb threats, or to carry out any violence. But it’s also irresponsible to threaten people in this way. When you threaten to shoot the American economy in the head on purpose and for no good reason, some people are going to start thinking in terms of self-defense.
Is the stress beginning to give you some irrational thoughts?
