"Arm-in-arm, chanting 'Hail Satan'"
by digby
So, this happened yesterday at an anti-abortion event:
Sen. Mike Lee said those who support abortion rights favor a "culture of death" and engage in "savagery."
Mike Huckabee said women typically cite hardship or inconvenience as their reason for getting an abortion — the same reasons that he said could be used to justify ending the lives of the elderly.
GOP Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska told the activists: "Abortion is not a women's issue. It is not a men's issue. It is not a health care issue. It is a violence issue."
Sen. Lindsey Graham said, "wouldn't it be wonderful to win the White House in 2016, undo Obamacare, put America on a different path and have a president who defends little babies?"
Sen. Ted Cruz "Arm-in-arm, chanting 'Hail, Satan,' embracing the right to take the life of a late-term child," Cruz said (in reference to supporters of abortion rights).
The "Hail Satan" and "culture of death" stuff is pretty amazing. I'm sure that won't incite any weirdos to do anything violent. After all, they've never done anything like that before ...
But I also really like Huckleberry Graham wanting to repeal Obamacare in defense of "little babies." I guess all those little babies who will be without insurance had better be healthy.
Oh, in case you failed to notice, all those people are elected officials. Well, except for Huckabee, but he was a Governor and is likely running for president.
Actual voters select these people to represent them.
