Sharon Angle: "You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good

[hedgehog]

reason and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years.

I hope that's not where we're going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out."

1. The tyranny is NOT in the government.

But in people like Sharon Angle.

Damn them to hell.

[treestar]

2. Did she really say that?

Under many state's laws, that could be a crime.

Taking him out by election is one thing, but combined with those words it sounds like an actual suggestion to kill Harry.

3. She most certainly did say that...

Twerps like her have a history of promoting violence against their political opponents.

4. Amazed it did not get more coverage at the time

and how horrid that she came close to winning!

Someone who would say a thing like that!

5. First of all, revolution doesn't require guns. Especially if you have a popular position.

These nuts, along with the SCROTUS RATS (Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Scalia), need to re-read the 2nd Amendment. They conveniently omit the word "well-regulated" from any discussion of 2nd Amendment rights. Besides, if they believe they can use their guns to take on the United States military, then they must love what's going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, since they wish to make the United States into that. Maybe they should move over there.

Brains like Chris Hedges are also speaking of "revolution", but not the kind that requires firearms.

6. OMG!

If a Dem had said that while Dubya was President, he/she would probably have been disappeared. There's going to be pressure on Obama to end that shit now and there are people who will resist. This could get even uglier.

7. I'm waiting for the civil law suits against Angle -- a lot of families

are hurting bad right now.
