Something has happened to me over the last month – I can no longer sustain my outrage over Republican idiocy. There’s just too much stupid. Here’s the latest.
Catherine Crabill, the Republican Party’s nominee for Virginia’s 99th District in the House of Delegates, gave a speech at a recent political event suggesting that Second Amendment rights could be used to defend the anti-tax Tea Party movement. The strange assertion was picked up by Virginia political blogger Not Larry Sabato.
“We have the chance to fight this battle at the ballot box before we have to resort to the bullet box,” Crabill said. “That’s the beauty of our Second Amendment rights … Our Second Amendment rights were to guard against tyranny.” [emphasis mine]
Not that I’m dismissing the barrage of comments like these from the GOP – I still believe they are a call to lone wolves, and, ultimately, will reap what they’re sowing.
