I think I've heard this joke before.  Sometime in the 30s, IIRC.  Wasn't really all that funny the first time, either.

That's pretty disgusting.  And worrying.

I always said, if I moved to the USA, I'd likely refuse to discuss my politics in public.  And apply for a concealed carry permit as soon as reasonably possible, if I gave in to the temptation to do so.  Of course, I'm fairly lucky in that I also don't have a family to consider.

If you move to Tucson, you don't need a concealed permit.  Any yahoo can walk around with a pistol stuffed in his jacket pocket.

Up until Giffords got shot in the head, I would have considered Tuscon one of the safer places in the southern US to talk about politics.

Then again, Loughner is a bit of an unfair one, given he is actually mentally unhinged.  I mean, you have to be unhinged in a way to do the above as well, but not "the government is using semantics to control my mind" unhinged.

I don't know. I'm pretty open about my politics and I don't think I've ever had anyone get aggressive. Granted, this is California, but where I live is Tea Bagger central for the state.
