“Hang ‘em High”

Twitter user rkref captures this image from the DC Tea Party:

I’ve been to some protests in my time, and it wasn’t rare to see an over-the-top anti-Bush sign around. Which, as best I understood it, was why mainstream politicians usually stayed away from those kind of things even when the underlying cause was something fairly mainstream like opposition to the Iraq War. These tea parties are being organized by Dick Armey, publicized by Fox News, and feature members of congress as speakers. You’d think they’d be able to avoid calling for the deaths of large numbers of duly elected members of congress.

Amanda Terkel has a full report from the DC party including some folks in “Chairman Maobama” t-shirts. Because restoring Clinton-era tax rates is just like mass murder.
