blue bits. red rocks.

…I still believe that this sort of thing is the genie that the Glenn Becks of the world have (perhaps unwittingly) unleashed. I’m not saying they are actually in favor of domestic terrorism, but it may be dawning on some of them that they’ve unleashed something they can no longer control. To digress a bit, I actually saw some of that belated understanding toward the end of John McCain’s campaign when he actually tried to talk DOWN off the ledge some of his supporters who were worried about the evil terrorist Obama. He had a “My God, what have we wrought?” expression in his eyes that told me that he did finally get it, and in my most generous fantasies, I’d like to believe he actually sabotaged his own election to keep Sarah Palin from becoming the Martin Sheen character in “The Dead Zone”.
