Jeeeeeesus, that NYT article just made my blood run cold, but it's totally on the nose. I mean, no, the Healthcare bill isn't perfect, so some protest is completely valid and understandable. But this, the majority of what's going on right now, it's just so BLATANTLY a hysterical reaction to the zomg scary blacks/gays/latinos/wimminz/your minority of choice etc. It's terrifying, that all that "put-a-placating-smile-on-your-homophobia/racism/misogyny-to-show-how-TOLERANT-we-are" rhetoric is now being tossed by the wayside completely so that people can be FLAMING NUTBALL TERRORISTS WHAT THE FUCK.

It makes me feel so fucking scared for all of you guys in the States while I'm sitting here comfortably in Canada :/
