Rep. Eric Cantor, the number two Republican in the House of Representatives, said Thursday that a bullet had been shot through a window at his district office in Richmond, Virginia. He also said he had received threatening messages.
He said he would not publicly release the messages out of concern that doing so would only incite further violence.
He also accused Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine and Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland - a member of the Democratic House leadership - of "fanning the flames" of violence by using threats that have been made against Democratic members "as political weapons."
"Enough is enough," Cantor said. "It has to stop."
FUCK YOU CANTOR
So enough is enough...is it? To theGOPisDEAD this sounds a little deja vu does it not? Let's review with a little video we like to call: whoops, WTF have i done, featuring John McCain's runaway train and his attempt to put on the breaks in the lead up to the last election:
For over a decade, theGOPisDEAD has been witnessing Republicans that consistently incite violence, then obtusely attempt to rescind and rebuke the intended outcome, as if they are completely shocked and taken by surprise? It's like, they're having an out-of-body experience.
But, what we are experiencing here ladies and gentlemen is a Helter Skelter moment indeed. And as a writer for this blog, I have to say that I am sitting here sweating bullets because I cannot get my words onto the screen quick enough. I am being flooded with the adrenalin of OMFG...are you kidding me?!
The Republican party and their base have lost it completely. They are displaying the paranoia of a person suffering with schizophrenia. They are boiling over with anger like molten metal spewing out of a reservoir, and have been whipped into a frenzy by the likes of their Congressman, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, Palin, and a host of violence inciting megalomaniacs.
"The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history." [Bertrand Russell]
Helter Skelter...
Not unlike Charles Manson who considered the Beatles music to be prophetic messages about an apocalyptic race war, in which his followers the Family would not only survive, but precipitate.
Manson ordered the murders, to trigger a race war directly, and in his own mind was the puppet master behind the slaughter that took place. The case became one of America's most highly publicized murder trials of its time.
At the risk of sounding completely insane ourselves, we see striking similarities between the family, the teabaggers, and the Republican redneck, Budweiser swilling base that is taking up arms in the name of FREEDOM from Tyranny.
The parallels we have drawn from the Manson case are the means at which victory against a system, or in this case a demonized government to which Republicans claim "All Americans" are diametrically opposed. They have declared war on the left-winged "socialist" Obama administration using "ALL" as if it were inherently inclusive. Your name, my name, and anyone you know has been claimed as property of their exclusive philosophy. Welcome my friends, to the family.
Having "ALL Americans" in your corner is a potent ally that cannot be discounted, or ignored, so it is repeated over and over again ad nauseam by the Republican base, the teabaggers, and Lawmakers that we are ALL in this together. We have come to fight the machine! Don't tread on me, and the rest of that lame-ass patriotism bullshit.
In the end Manson wipes his hands clean of all violence that occurred, and rebuked the crime as if it were outside of his own body. Like the Republicans, Manson sees himself as the prophet and savior of "ALL PEOPLES" inciting violence, and vehemently expressed deep and profound surprise at the outcome. Like a fucking mind warp people believed in his calling, cutting crosses in their heads, and were led astray. He didn't have to lay a hand on anyone, and absolved himself of any violence. Sound familiar?
Holy shit. [cracks a smile] I'm practically giddy over how crazy I sound now. :)
His "very name ... a metaphor for evil". While Republicans may not be evil on a Manson sliding scale, however to incite violence then not take responsibility of the outcome, is at least fucking disturbed.
So Republicans here you are...getting a bullet in your window. The look on your stunned face, is blowback. Get used to it...because this is your HELTER SKELTER moment.
