What, no assault rifles?

OK, these Tea Party folk just get crazier all the time, don't you think? And they claim that Democrats are the fascists? What has happened to our democracy?

A couple of weeks ago, private security guards of U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller (AK) threw a journalist to the floor, handcuffed him, and "arrested" him - at least until the real police arrived and made them release the man. His crime? Asking Joe Miller a question.

They claim that he was trespassing at a private event, but according to news reports, it was a town hall meeting to which the public had been invited. And apparently, they weren't even real security guards. Now they claim to be security "agents," and that's why they don't need a license. In other words, they were just a bunch of toughs pushing around a journalist who was asking uncomfortable questions.

Do you know what's really scary? This is how these Tea Party folk are acting when they're winning. Heck, the latest poll shows Rand Paul 13 points in the lead. (Miller isn't doing as well, but it's another Republican, incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski, that's the problem.) So how will they act if they actually lose an election?

Is that when the guns come out, as they keep threatening?
