The beatings and injuries did happen, and we wish the victims a speedy recovery. But sheesh, everyone’s so anxious to point fingers these days. We’re not immune from those instincts, of course, but it’s interesting that we’ve reached a point in our political discourse when everyone accuses the other side of having the bigger thugs.
Did someone scratch a backwards O or B on his face?
I’m sorry. The harsh has overcome my better nature (wait, do I hear Catt laughing?). But you work for Jindal you take your lumps. And don’t come sniveling to me about hate crimes.
Oh, and plus, the reason this attack was about the Palin pin was so that it wouldn’t be about fag-bashing. Phhtp! I spit on your gonads and may your orgasms turn to stone.
About the boyfriend… might he be interested in a career in show business?
Yes I am that shallow.
“liberal grievance-mongers”: Yeah, because anyone out protesting the GOP couldn’t possibly be a “real Amurkan.”
@karen marie: As, per example, the rest of the world protesting the Republican invasion of Iraq.
Kick ’em!

Kick ’em!
Bite ’em!
Step on his face!
I say!
Kick ’em!
Bite ’em!
Step on his face!
