Sure, they’ll drop the charges and turn a blind eye when two Black Panthers holding night sticks are loitering around a polling place, but they’ll scream bloody murder if two Christians holding Bibles stand in front of an abortion clinic.

Mythical Florida police cars == GOP voter intimidation.

On November 4, 2008 the people of America (or certainly a majority of its electorate) decided to move their nation into the direction of a Banana Republic.

And now, as the saying goes, you can never go home again.

Sitting between the Clinton and Obama administrations would make the Nixon administration look good. I think that part of the left’s obsessive hatred of Bush was because he made Clinton look so vile and venal by comparison.The contrast was inescapable.

Lotsa of commies in the Bay Area are rejoicing, and smirking.

Mitch:

Just wait – Axelrod will figure a response for his paid minions to spout. Something about Bush’s fault, Cheney and Clarence Thomas preventing these good citizens to keep law and order blah blah blah.

Obama is paying good money for these trolls to post on these blogs and he’s not going to let them take a night off.
