There's nothing better than a dead liberal?

The video is almost a year old, but the sentiment expressed by the woman in the video is one that unfortunately I've seen increasingly over the past two years. While I have non-liberal friends who are capable of civil and reasonable discourse, people like the woman on this video with their extremist views are what gives the Tea Party movement a bad name.



Combine that with what took place today in Washington D.C. as reported by Huffington Post:

Preceding the president's speech to a gathering of House Democrats, thousands of protesters descended around the Capitol to protest the passage of health care reform. The gathering quickly turned into abusive heckling, as members of Congress passing through Longworth House office building were subjected to epithets and even mild physical abuse.

A staffer for Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) told reporters that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) had been spat on by a protestor. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a hero of the civil rights movement, was called a 'ni--er.' And Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was called a "faggot," as protesters shouted at him with deliberately lisp-y screams. Frank, approached in the halls after the president's speech, shrugged off the incident.

But Clyburn was downright incredulous, saying he had not witnessed such treatment since he was leading civil rights protests in South Carolina in the 1960s.
