The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I'd be curious to know what had been discussed earlier in the show, perhaps something about how everybody who opposes HCR is lumped in with violent right-wing terrorists. I'm sure he meant "these people who the left would call Tim McVeigh wannabes in a shotgun blast attempt to discredit them..." but yeah, it makes for a horrible soundbite.

I don't know if he brought it up earlier in the interview, but he apparently did on the radio the day before, and certainly did mean just that. But man, throw some air-quotes in there or something if you're going to use it like that.
