Delegate Bob Marshall Suggests Shooting Lawmakers Over Policy Differences is OK

This is cross-posted at Leaving My Marc.

At a recent Stafford County Tea Party rally, Delegate Bob Marshall (R-13th) suggests that it is OK to shoot lawmakers over policy differences. First we have Corey Stewart comparing the Obama administration to the Nazi's, now we have this.

Obviously, he was just misquoted.

Again, this sort of irresponsible rhetoric may cause someone with violent tendencies to think it is acceptable to act out in this way. You can obviously hear the teabaggers laughing and shouting words of encouragement. Unbelievable.

I just can't understand why Virginia Republicans are falling all over themselves to appeal to teabaggers. They are becoming more of a fringe party everyday.

Stretching in a good thing (0.00 / 1)
But I think this you should be called Stretch Armstrong. Where does Bob Marshall suggest shooting lawmakers is ok?  
Not surprised... (0.00 / 0)
that you would disagree. You need to take off your rose colored glasses and see things as they are. Marshall clearly implies that it is ok to shoot lawmakers over policy differences, since that's what our forefathers would have done. This is hateful and very dangerous language. Virginia Republicans are literally falling all over themselves to appeal to the fringe. This is simply disgraceful.

Marshall is no good that's for sure... (0.00 / 1)
...of course like DelGuadio you are playing into his hand when you publicize his rhetoric (and yes much of it is hate-filled at that).  Push him to the margins where he belongs.  Eventually he becomes background whining that no one gives a moment's thought to and he will have to ratchet up his hate in order to get the limelight he so craves.  In the end, this will be his undoing and he will unltimately fall to demographic changes or his own garbage he is spewing.  

You lower yourselves by playing the game with him.  Also, stop using the term "teabaggers" - it is disgusting and makes you look puerile.  Again, you damage the cause.
