Pearl Clutching

Those bloodthirsty, murder-enabling Democrats are at it again: at a county fair there’s a DFL booth where adults and children are encouraged to use a squirt gun to shoot water at a drawing of an elephant’s butt.
No wonder there’s so much pearl clutching and dropping down on the fainting couch over at MDE.
No, never before has anyone made such obviously thinly veiled threats to commit actual physical violence against people they happen to disagree with.
For a more complete collection of examples go to Orcinus.
For years now the indispensible David Neiwert has been documenting the rise of eliminationist rhetoric from the American rightwing.
But of course that all pales in comparison to encouraging fairgoers to squirt water at a drawing of an elephant’s butt.
