The Republican Base

Apparently things are getting ugly at the Republican rallies as Sarah Palin riles up the base. Cries of “traitor” and “kill him” aimed against Barack Obama have been heard from the crowd. The Republican elite, including John McCain, is appalled at the reaction and looking to calm things down. McCain also appears to be muzzling Palin a bit which sounds like a really good move.

Why is this kind of reaction a surprise? For years the Republicans have been cozying up with the lunatic fringe and waging an assault on the emotions of the under 100 IQ trailer park set. Now they’re surprised when Bubba six-pack gets upset? DUH, here’s another reason not to vote Republican. I thought only Dubya was too dumb to understand the implications of his actions.

You play with fire and eventually someone gets burned.
