We have been subjected for the past couple of days to Democrats being front and center decrying how Republicans are fostering death threats against them for passing the controversial health care reform legislation. Democrats are acting as though only they are being threatened....As I write, Eric Kantor's office was shot at...and he just happened to be a Republican. There are loons in both parties and this issue is not partisan nor should it be. Should the Republicans have blamed the Democrats for Assasination attempts on President Nixon, Ford, and Reagan, and moreover, the successful attempt on President Lincoln. Are we to believe that President Bush, Karl Rove, and Secretary Rice received no death threats during their respective tenures...of course not, they simply chose not to make them public. This is the nature of the job of being a politician or a celebrity...where loons will try to do harm for whatever reason. Simply because you oppose health care reform or President Obama's policies, does not mean that you are a racist. Republican did not blame the Democrats for those who vehemently opposed President Bush nor should the loons who are now threatening Democrats be blamed on the Republicans....Shame on the Democrats for trying to make political hay out of such cancerous manifestations stemming out of our current rank, political discourse. Simply because your hue black or brown or that you happened to be Democrat...does not mean that you are incapable of racism or violence. I must have missed that part of the scriptures where the concept of "original sin" only fell on my white brothers and sisters who deemed themselves to be Republicans.....
