Fire bombing at Texas state senator's office

On Tuesday, staffers at the office of Democratic state senator Wendy Davis used extinguishers against a fire started by an incendiary device thrown against their office door.  Cedric Steele, a "homeless" man with reported "mental problems" threw as many as 6 molotov cocktails against the door.  He is in custody.

It's just the latest in a series of "mentally ill lone wolves" targeting Democratic lawmakers.  Oddly, no one claims that the Republican party is linked to these assaults, yet when some bone head takes a dump in public at an OWS camp, somehow the whole group is responsible.

Just sayin'.

May you live in interesting times.

Of course the guilt by association would be quite palatable to Davis if a Rethug's aides engaged in that sort of talk.

And now there is this:

Unbelievable.



I wonder what your response to Saxby Chambliss' ad about Max Cleland was...?  You remember that one don't you?  Where he accused Cleland of not being brave enough to serve?  And showing the picture of Bin Laden with Cleland....  

You remember Max, don't you?   The REAL VietNam war hero who lost 3 limbs in that war while Saxby and W were enjoying their deferment and cushy assignment stateside....

You got the last word exactly right.... unbelievable!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Yeah. I wonder about the Daisy Girl and Willie Horton, and the others. You know what they have in common? They are both "history". Not to mention that they drew scorn as well. And you are seriously calling people out for military avoidance.

Yeah!  Especially when they had "daddy" pull strings all along the way to get it done - whether they just got a fake 4-F or got cushy, drinking-every-weekend soft duty in Air Force Guard with no chance of getting sent to combat.  

Limbaugh, Chambliss, and that ilk for the first.
Dubya for the second.


As for "scorn" for Chambliss, Limbaugh, Dubya.... yeah...we can see how much "scorn" they have had to endure....  millions of dollars a year's worth!!  (As in, getting paid....)

So a guy that has never served is not only criticizing those that never served but also the character of service of those that did serve. Huge ones.

You should probably understand that getting a job in the military doesn't automatically raise someone's status in the respect arena.

I've known great people who've had military jobs and I've known great people who've not had military jobs.

I've known some real jerks in both categories as well.

I would disagree. It means they did a job I didn't want to do and were willing to die at it if asked. That gets me some respect.

that's a mighty broad sword you're using

You are correct. To each his own.

I have had many family members serve in the military and have a niece on a boat right now in the sea near the Middle East. I am amazed at how the years they serve has made them into better human beings than when they went in.
