I've never heard such hatred...

A Facebook friend posted a "like" of some Tea Party crap about standing up to tyranny, so it popped up on my walk. There were something like 1200 comments on that post, and it was some of the most vile, stupid and hateful stuff I have ever read. I know I shouldn't be so shocked, but I am.

No one in the world would be safe if these folks were running the country. It was really scary reading it. The rantings and ravings of lunatics.

Something relevant from Pew Research via the Post Erik. Breitbart's toxic website seems to have tapped into the Facebook universe.

Welcome to our nightmare, Erik.

One of my favorites;

"We need to attack North Korea. My son didn't join the Marines to sit on his ass in North Carolina, he joined to fight. I say we give these kids the chance to fight for their country at every opportunity, whatever and wherever it is."

Yes, because we have the troops and the weapons, we should use them to solve every problem, because peace is boring..................

It's violent, flag waiving militarist assholes like that that make me think it's time to take their toys away, before the entire planet gets killed.
