The anti-reform right is using the same violent rehetoric against those in favor of healthcare reform that the anti-abortion movement has embraced for years.

And members of that movement have assassinated doctors who performed legal abortions.

Think about it.

Republicans: YOU LOST THE LAST ELECTION. Both houses of Congress AND the White House. We had an election and YOU LOST.

And so y'all are resorting to threats, intimidation, and attempting to derail the discussion rather than participate in it. Inchoate rage at the idea of change doesn't make you right or justified.

That John Wayne chaser, that's for you. Get a grip, people. You may not like it, but YOU LOST THE ELECTION. That's how it works. Our next election is just over a year away.

America rebelled against England when George III* refused to give the colonists a say in their own government.

Y'all were given a say. It's called the 2008 election. WHICH YOU LOST. So why all the violent, revolutionary rhetoric?

America rebelled against England when George II refused to give the colonists a say in their own government.

George III
