I think I've heard this joke before. Sometime in the 30s, IIRC. Wasn't really all that funny the first time, either.
No, it's hilarious, cuz liek HE gonn' be daed, too! It's like a moovie or somthin.
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.
Fuck, that's disturbing.

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.
