re: #31 pat

Actually you’re the one guilty of both deflection and denial. I have provided evidence that elected members of the GOP are encouraging this insanity. Now you say you want proof that pundits have as well. Why is that? Are you admitting that Limbaugh is the defacto leader of the party?
In any case, it would be very easy to find you citations about pundits encouraging such crap. Why should I do your research for you?

The really interesting question here is the one Charles asked you and you are still avoiding answering: Do you think pretending this isn’t happening will make it go away? Do you think it makes sense to call the sensible wing of the GOP, and independents, “GOP Deconstructionists”— because they call out the crazy when they see it?

And are you really descending into claiming that Obama “belonged to a far left Socialist party”? And you’re going to claim I’m the one guilty of crackpot theories, denial and deflection?
Your post is nothing but denial and deflection.

So, video evidence of a GOP Congressman endorsing bringing weapons to a town hall is a “silly citation”, I’m the one who’s engaging in denial and deflection, and I’m the believer in conspiracy theories.

Someone forgot to tell me it was Opposite Day.
