Will a big Democratic Win this Nov. send the radical right over the edge?
Some of them sound pretty unstable to me when they call cspan, like little timmy mcveigh. I hope we sweep the house and senate, but I fear a backlash, perhaps a violent one, seriously.

I don't see sunshine and roses the day after a big D win, in fact I see sore losers taking it to the ultimate extreme.

The first thing they would do is start to attack the winners and bring them down with scandals and investigations and impeachment proceedings like the sore losers they always are.

Would we get yelled at if we told them to get the fuck over it?

1. They'll greet us with flowers and chocolates as liberators...
...whatever happens, we have to stop being afraid of them and their "reaction."

2. "Over The Edge"? No. Down The Crapper Maybe
I don't care about the yahoos sent back home being upset, I just want their asses out of the People's House and our Senate.

The battle lies in getting the WIN.

8. They tend to consider themselves victims anyway
It'll be business as usual. The control all three branches of government and most of the media now and yet they still consider themselves oppressed so I don't expect any increase in fervor.

9. Remember, except for one, every terrorist attack in the US in 50 years
has been done by right wing extremists.

Church burnings.
Oklahoma City.
Atlanta Olympics.
Anthrax mailings.
Operation Rescue.
Abortion clinic bombings.

My prediction? If the Democrats regain control, the radical right will start a series of "terrorist" attacks to prove that electing Democrats made us Not-Safe®, and it will be used as a pretext to round up even more "terrorists" and "subversives" by what's left of the Bush Administration.
