When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat and carrying a misspelled sign.

Nothing more MURKAN than telling women and children to fuckoff, eh?

Henceforth, I will refer to those who arm themselves for a 1st-amendment event as Bundys, or, when appropriate, fucking Bundys.

Obviously, these tiny dick gun toting mentally challenged morons are complete losers in life that they feel empowered threatening unarmed women and children. Congrats. They made themselves lower than the scum at the bottom of a barrel of crap.

“We want to see how many are actually women and children,” he said.

Pfft. As if you care about women and children to begin with.

TPM:

A small crowd of protesters carrying guns arrived outside an Irving, Texas, mosque which was holding an event to welcome refugees, carrying signs that read, “Say No To Syrian Refugees,” according to the Dallas Morning News.

If they are carrying guns, they are not protesting. They are threatening violence.

Sure. Go ahead and laugh at them. They deserve MOCKING, but…people mocked Hitler too as “The Little Corporal” and JUST KNEW he would never gain any power over them.
History says otherwise.
If you take all the people who vote for Trump and Cruz and Rubio and add them up, it is almost 35% of the electorate. That is DOUBLE the support Hitler had when he got elected to the Bundestag.
All it will take for people to do what happened in 1932 Germany and GIVE power to Fascists is one more Financial Disaster, or 9/11 attack.
Two Quotes:
“All that is required for Evil to succeed is for Good Men to do nothing.”
“First they came for the Trade Unionists, but I was not a Unionist so I said nothing…”

You mean those defenders of freedumb didn’t protect themselves from the packin’ 7 year old? Must have been liberal plants to give true 'mericans a bad name probably only had a couple of rounds each.

White guys using guns to try to intimidate people of color is nothing new. I wouldn’t expect anything different from these types of folks. They are cowardly, and need the security of a semi-auto with a barrel clip to make themselves feel safe.

Gun-Toting Terrorists Show Up At Texas Mosque Event For Refugees. Headline fixed .

The comment is perfect. Just the author was Sinclair Lewis. Easy enough mistake to make.

33

Perfect and exactly true.

These are not men, no in any way, shape or form. No combat unit would take these self-defined fools, relegating them to peeling potatoes.

Exactly. Thank you.

The pitchfork lynch mob mentality runs deep with conservatives… It takes lots of “courage” to go protest and intimidate refugees…

Conservatives are COWARDS. Always been.

37

They wouldn’t even have to be armed with guns…or be more than 1 for that matter for Police armored car to show up…

38

They reminds me of Joe Pesci’s character in “My cousin Vinny” in that scene where he spends the night in a cabin and comes out firing in all directions after simply hearing an owl…

thanks for this update, Eve. I was getting depressed that there was virtually no visible support from the sane, decent neighbors of the mosque.

My bad. Mea Culpa.

Agreed. That’s why I exaggerated the “man” in manpower – it’s their twisted thinking that they are exhibiting anything resembling manliness.
