Whack-job conservatives gunning for Merkley on June 20

The lunatic conservative mainstream are planning to practice their brand of Resistance at Senator Merkley's upcoming appearance at Salem's Saturday Market on June 20th.

All,

US Senator Jeff Merkley will be at the Salem Saturday Market on Saturday, June 20 from 1030 to 1130. All who can should attend, especially because we expect the media to be covering this event. Those who want to lend support, but not ask questions, should wear their T-shirts so that we get some coverage in the paper and possibly TV.

If you want to ask a question you should probably go incognito, so that Merkley won't know to avoid you. As well, husbands and wives should be separate in the crowd, to increase the chances of being called upon.

Above all, if you are called to ask a question, remain firm and respectful. We won't get anywhere behaving like the wild animals of the left. Remember, we are the thinking side.

The "wild animals of the left" quip is especially ironic given that the members of this particular group are required to consent to what they call a No Tolorance Policy which includes an explicit ban on "militancy against Barack Obama or others." The recent murder of Dr. Tiller more than underscores why they felt the need to include such an explicit restriction.

Wild animals indeed... But then that is the usual M.O. of whack-job conservatives. They project their own attributes and values onto their opponents. So much so that one can usually get a reasonably good read on what is rolling through their heads at any given point in time just by paying attention to what they are saying about their hated enemies at that same point in time.

So, I'm thinking that making the trek to be at the Salem Saturday Market on June 20th between 10:30 and 11:30 is looking like something I am going to want to do.
