In the last few weeks there have been a number of events that are beginning to travel down a path no one wants to be on. First Joe Miller has his “security force” arrest a journalist because he was asking questions Joe Miller didn’t like. Then we had Rand Paul supporters physically assault a liberal protester, and their excuse was that they thought she was a physical threat to Paul and they needed to restrain her for Paul’s safety. Then today we have a supporter of Dino Rossi physically assault another liberal protester; his excuse, he wanted to get her picture.
When you combine these occurrences of vigilante “security”, with the “open carry” rallies in support of conservative candidates, with the militia movement that is almost exclusively right wing and we are getting very close to people beginning to show up at conservative rallies in uniform. The militia movement people already play war in fatigues. We aren’t there yet, but we are heading down that road. I’ll just say that if things get to that ugly place, Rich Iott won’t have to go shopping.
