I don't think this is the lamest thing I've blogged. I hope to god I'm wrong, and this isn't the same sort of quiet unrest which leads to pogroms.
Then again, Maia has had people try to run her car into a concrete pillar because it has window placards they didn't like (the guy leaning out the passenger side window, screaming at her while he gave her the finger made her pretty sure it wasn't just clumsy driving.
When (to tread on Godwin's waters) Hitler was rising to power, there were those who said he was going to maltreat the Jews. Most people said, "Oh, no. That sort of thing isn't done anymore, that's just idiots talking, the Gov't would never allow things like that."
Theres a shithead in Canada (of all places) who spews this shit. He says how "awful" it would be if someone were to go to the house of "x" and kill him. After all, he went on, it only took me five minutes to find out his address at, "1234 Main Street" so someone who had more violence in him than I do might do something terrible.
This was said after he'd gone on, at length, about how this person was a miserable excuse for a human being, a traitor to the United States (this Canuck is very confused, let me tell you) and ought to be shot, or hanged, or just beaten to death.
The people on the fringes have always been violent, be they The Weather Underground, or the idiots who killed the talk-jock in Colorado. The difference is, the people on the Right are making it easier for the fringe types to become mainstream (see Arnie and his praise of "The Minutemen").
