I could never understand how some people could blindly support the president's selfish pecuniary policies.. after all, can't they see that he and Cheney's bunch are just using them?
What kind of people could possibly tolerate this regime's outlandish and blatantly criminal behavior?
Now I have seen.

Girls (and other assorted shitdicks),
My sincere hope is that a couple hundred of the local patriots take a
day off work for your next anarchist event, and come down to your
little shithole with some axe handles and bust your fucking heads.
Short of that, I certainly hope the Feds stop sending money to your
dicklicking junior college.

(more below the fold..)
That "dicklicking junior college" is the University of California Santa Cruz. These emails were sent to members of SAW, or
UCSC Students Against War,
who staged a protest against army recruiters at a job fair... which is detailed in
hunter's diary.
As was so eloquently stated by hunter:
The critical point here, just in case anyone is still unclear, is that the far-right tactics of thuggery -- tactics mainstreamed directly from white supremacist groups and organized intimidation campaigns meant to endorse and assist assaults and actual murders of abortion doctors -- is now a commonplace and eagerly embraced tool for the online so-called "conservative" movement.
Well, this is some more of their thuggery:

...one a fine young American very, very soon puts his shiny gun barrel
up to your left temple and pulls the trigger. Now THAT will make
America a much, much better place to live for the rest of us, you
utterly disgusting piece of shit...

You 3 are a bunch of useful idiots. Instead of marching around with
your silly Peacenik slogans you should either pick up a weapon and
defend this country from Islamofascists or just Shut The F*** Up. Or
just get back to class...idealistic, wet-behind the ears ingrates.
So, obviously, these people have lost touch with their humanity. They are beyond reason. Beyond feeling. Beyond compassion (for others - fortunately we can still, if we are able, give it to them). Beyond the confines of what civilised behavior is considered to be.
Yuck. Poor them. I would rather be me, and be on the "losing" side (for now - and that depends on your perspective) than be them, sick like that, any day.
However, and you may call me crazy for this, I don't mind, even though I am absolutely disgusted to learn that a fellow human being can be so, well, disconnected from humanity, I am at the same time struck with tremendous sympathy, for how horrible must the lives of these creatures (I can't call them people!) be for them to be so vicious!
Both Jesus and Buddha (as well as so many others) have advocated the loving of our enemy, for our benefit, not theirs.
Now I see why. I couldn't before, but the absolute disconnect of these people shown in those emails has given me compassion I could never muster before.
And so I pray for them, and us...
