Obscanity: You'll know it when you see it

Think Progress » Freshman Democratic lawmaker ‘physically assaulted at a local event’ by activists.

Not to mention the email forwards going around about how shooting liberal lawmakers is the answer to the healthcare problem, since prison will provide health care to elderly murderers.

This, my friends, is why I strongly believe that the Democrats should NOT be attempting bipartisan deals right now. The Republicans are not interested in bipartisanship; they’re interested in sinking the ship altogether, staging fake rallies and protests and then claiming people are just so gosh-darned passionate about it that they can’t contain themselves. You just wait until a Democratic lawmaker is shot by one of these mobsters, at the Republican Party’s urging. They’ll say they did not incite the violence, but with language of “delay and kill” and constant refrains of “They want to euthanize Grandma,” how long will it be before somebody takes their bullshit rhetoric seriously enough to do something about it?

The Republicans are not acting in good faith. You make a deal with the devil and there will be consequences.
