I’d say that the Mob there was about… oh, about thirty, forty-five seconds away from smashing that Republican state legislator’s head with a brick.

Fortunately, a couple of members of the Organizer/Politician castes were able to start a chant in the Mob’s hive mind that caused the individual meat-units surrounding the legislator to resist the urge for violence for just long enough. Which is good, of course. Let’s hope that the Organizers can continue to keep their lesser castes under control, though. It won’t end well if they do not.

PS: Watch the [expletive deleted] thing again and tell me that this contempt of mine is uncalled-for.

PPS: Rep. Brett Hulsey (D)? Ever read The Case of Charles Dexter Ward?  No?  Too bad: there’s a really good piece of advice in there for the would-be magician.  It goes, “Do not call up what ye cannot put down.”  This is of course somewhat tardy advice in your party’s case, but better late than never, huh?

…is there a stronger word than that?  Because ‘insatiable’ doesn’t have quite the right hunger to it.

…needless to say, after the left’s grotesque, groundless demagoguery of the Tucson shooting as some sort of indictment of Republican rhetoric, conservative media will happily grind their faces in each and every bit of incivility expressed by union protesters or their apologists. The videos and photos of protesters with incendiary signs are already old hat after two weeks, but for righties forever tarred with the worst excesses of cranks who show up at tea party rallies, the appetite for liberal hypocrisy is insatiable.

Fortunately, there’s a supply of the stuff that pretty much dwarfs the demand.

Clever: they’re limiting access to the Capitol on a strict one-comes-out, one-goes-in system, with police control of official visitors and strict visiting badge restrictions.  Fairly strict, but they’ve got a handy justification:

Officials say access to the Capitol was limited Monday after protesters failed to comply with police directives Sunday night after the building officially closed.

See, this is why we can’t have nice things.  It’s because of those reactionary union protesters – and, oh yes, are they ever reactionaries – spoiling it for regular, decent people who just want to visit the Capitol building.  Petulant crybabies, the lot of them.
