Civility, as it is violated by Naughty Tentacles*
As usual, Cenk Uygur is on point:
Now, imagine if there was left-winger with a gun waiting for Bush holding a sign that the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood tyrants? How long would that guy have lasted? You think they’d let him just sit there and wait for Bush? And say, “Hey, it’s perfectly legal!”
[…]
Now imagine he was Muslim and waiting for Bush with a gun. What do you think would have happened then?
And in other news, every single solitary Teabagger is a Pure Person™ full of Sweetness And Light™ who would Never Harm A Fly™ — it’s those evil Union “Purpleshirts” that you have to watch. Michelle Malkin said so.

I just got home — there was a guy with a freaking GUN at the New Hampshire Town Hall?? OMFG… WTF? This is when I appreciate Canada’s gun control legislation.

A gun? At a town hall meeting? Sheesh. And that sign he was carrying… that’s just creepy. Even to me, and I’m a bit of a gun nut myself (by Canadian standards).
The nut was on hardball this aft, red tory has the video.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you guys. I hope everyone calms down before something bad happens.

I’m just glad nothing happened at Obama’s presser today.
