Is hate taking over the GOP?

Why do you keep posting this stuff with no link? Where's the proof that one of these people did this? How do we know it wasn't Scott himself? Didn't an African American woman fake a noose incident not all that long ago? Does truth or proof mean anything to you?

I really don't think this kind of thing is going to help the anti-health care reform movement in the long run. They're telling the same kind of lies today as they did in 1993 but the big difference now is that the other side is fighting back. Then we had the original Harry and Louise scaring everyone into believing they'd lose their choice of doctors and have their care rationed and nobody really disputed them. I'm afraid in some ways hate IS taking over the GOP. I don't mean the average mainstream Republican including most of the ones who post here but the ones we hear and see day after day like Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity. Annie

Where exactly do you get GOP out of this? Did he leave a note saying "This swastika presented courtesy of the GOP"? Give me a freaking break.

I don't really agree with the idea that it is the GOP's fault. It is really horrible that this happened to David Scott, but I honestly think that it won't hurt nor help the people who want this program because this is more than likely just a fringe group of people who are racists who just happen to also be against the health care plan. This sort of thing could have happened without the health care plan, not only to a black congressman, but it could have happened to a jewish politician, mexican, or a white politician. These people just decided to combine their racism with opposition of the bill, its unfortunate, but I don't think it holds much weight.

For cripe sakes will you stop labling this all as "gop" stuff, what the blazes is this countries fixation with narrowly focused blame? it was NUT who did this, HATEFULL NUTS. [sarcasm] yeh, thats right, the republican and democratic national parties are sending racial hatefull emails and sending thugs to peoples houses. [/sarcasm] COME ON You are ALL falling right in for it, your being PLAYED like cheap violins. FOOLS! This is EXACTLY what they want you to believe and fight. They DON'T WANT reasonable debate and conversation, NONE OF THEM The Unions, congress, insurance companies, the white house, big national lobbies, NONE OF THEM! And they want nothing more than to drag us down a dark hole of sensless bickering, vicious attacks, misplaced blame, rumors, mis truths, half truths, out right lies, fear and VIOLENCE . I can honestly say after weeks of watching the "conversation" on the national health care issue, I have never been more embarrased to be an american as I have over the behavoir I am seeing in our government, the big commercial interests and most shamefull of all, US . The "people" . Shame on the collective us. After behavior as we have.....no, as we and the world have witnessed, shame on us . We do not deserve the gift our founders have given us. After behavior like this, they would have turned us out on ships and sent us back over to monarchial rule and forsaken us. So go ahead, blame every one but ourselves, blame the republicans, blame the democrats, blame every one but US for our conduct and blame everyone but us for allowing the transgressions of our government because we the "people" have allowed them to be committed.
