The next day-Tuesday-Beck tells (R) Senator DeMint:<br />"<blockquote>I will tell you that I -- we discussed this on the radio program earlier today, that, um, a lot of people are calling this, where was it? In the Washington Examiner today. That they -- that people are saying that "Cap and Trade" is "Cap and Traitor". They're actually -- people are starting to view people -- both Republicans and Democrat -- as traitors to the country. Which I think is over the top.

Because it's going to take a grass-roots, bottom-up pressure. Because these politicians prize their office, prize the praise of the media and the Europeans. It's an absurd situation again. Only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary.<br /><br />Beck: Which is why, I was thinking this weekend, if I were him, that would be the last thing I would do right now.</blockquote><br /><br />This is the at least the 3rd time I've seen wingnuts actually hope and pray for another terrorist attack. <br /><br />And we know why this is...they still think when people get scared, they vote GOP.MrBoldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10886064925424374810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427727693118007793.post-29304479865240879452009-06-28T13:16:00.004-05:002009-06-28T13:30:29.216-05:00My favorite Conservative sex scandal is still...<a href="http://www.quinnell.us/sspb/wiki/images/allenmugshot.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://www.quinnell.us/sspb/wiki/images/allenmugshot.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br />...<a href="http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Representatives/details.aspx?MemberId=4204">Bob Allen</a>.<br /><br />While he wasn't quite as twisted as <a href="http://crooksandliars.com/2007/11/01/crossdressing-republican-lawmaker-admits-sexual-encounter-with-male-escort#comment-223367">Richard Curtis</a> who was caught slapping a male hooker while cross dressed.
